Sometimes we see two cats closely connected together. In fact, they are mating. The veterinarian said that if two cats are connected together, do not force them to "unlock", otherwise the consequences will be serious.
1. Why do cats join together when they mate?
Why do cats join together when they mate? In fact, this is caused by the cat’s physiological structure. Because when cats mate, the barbs of the male cat's genitals will get stuck in the female cat's body, which will connect the two cats together. This is what cats do to increase the success rate of reproducing offspring. The female cat will be more likely to get pregnant, which is the result of natural evolution.
2. What will be the consequences if cats are forcibly separated?
1. Cats will be frightened.
When cats are mating, if they are forcibly interrupted and separated, the cats will definitely be frightened, and both male and female cats will definitely scream. Cats may also experience stress reactions, vomiting, convulsions, etc. In severe cases, they may even die.
2. Cats will be injured
In fact, it is natural for cats to mate together. If the cats are forcibly separated, the cats will be easily injured. Male cats may suffer penile bone damage or fractures, while female cats may suffer vaginal smooth muscle strain, uterine suspensory ligament damage, or even uterine shedding. In severe cases, the cat may die.
3. Will be attacked by cats
Two cats are mating quietly and reproducing offspring, but you forcefully separate them, then the cat will definitely be very angry. Some cats with bad tempers may attack you recklessly, which may injure you. So don’t do such things that “harm the cat but not yourself”.
3. The cat has mated, things that need to be paid attention to
1. Do not bathe the cat
If the cat has mated, it is best not to bathe it during this period, because the cat's resistance is relatively poor at this time, and if it is bathed, it is easy to catch cold and get sick. Moreover, if you bathe a female cat just after mating, it may affect her pregnancy rate and make it difficult for her to conceive a baby.
2. Supplementing nutrition
Cat mating is a relatively physical thing, and a lot of nutrients are already lost during the estrus period. Therefore, after the cat mates, the pet owner must replenish it with nutrients in time. It is recommended to choose a high-quality cat food with comprehensive nutrition as its staple food.
3. Do not let it engage in strenuous exercise.
After mating, it is best not to disturb the cat and let it rest quietly for a while. Do not let it engage in other strenuous exercise, otherwise it will easily lead to the risk of stress.
4. If you don’t want your cat to mate, you can do this
1. Take good care of your cat
If you don’t want your cat to mate, you must take good care of your cat when it is in estrus and don’t let it jump out of the window or sneak out of the house. Pet owners can interact with it more, or use some snacks to divert the cat's attention.
2, sterilization
If you don’t want your cat to mate, the best way is, of course, to take the cat for sterilization surgery when it is of appropriate age. After sterilization, the cat will not be in heat and will naturally not want to mate. This can solve the problem from the root. The best age for neutering a cat is around 1 year old!
Conclusion: Have you ever seen cats mating, and have you ever thought about separating them?
