It is normal for cats to mate and reproduce. So how do cats mate with each other? After reading the following popular science, strange knowledge has been added!
Regarding the estrus period of cats:
Cats generally start their first estrus when they are 6 months old. Some cats will delay it. The time of estrus of male cats is uncertain. As long as they smell the smell emitted by female cats, they will passively go into estrus.
Female cats usually go into estrus about three times a year, and each time lasts about a week. If you want the cat to be bred, you can arrange it. If your cat has a good temper, you may be able to mate successfully in the first few days. If your cat has a bad temper, it may take about the fifth day to mate.
How do male and female cats mate?
Cats' mating time is relatively short, usually about two minutes, and some are even shorter.
During the cat mating process, the female cat suffers more because the male cat will bite the female cat's neck to prevent her from escaping. There are many fishhook-shaped tissues on the male cat's genitals. This is to sweep away the sperm of other male cats and retain his own.
The female cat will feel particularly uncomfortable during this process, so when the mating is over, the female cat will turn around and bite the male cat angrily in order to vent her anger.
Let’s talk about a little trivia: Female cats can be pregnant with the children of multiple male cats at the same time, so you will find that the children born by female cats can be of any color.
Is it okay to interrupt cats from mating?
Sometimes, the owner doesn’t want the cats to pair up, but without paying attention, they become connected together. Is it okay to interrupt them midway? Of course,
cannot do it. At this time, they are in a locked state. If you forcefully separate them, both parties will be hurt, and the cat may even lose his life.
How should you take care of your cat during estrus?
1. Lock the doors and windows, and take good care of the cat.
When a cat is in estrus, it wants to find a partner, so if it hears the call of the female cat, it will find a way to escape. This is one of the reasons why cats need to seal the windows. Although cats have good jumping ability, if your home is very high, the cat may slip and fall to death.
2. Play with the cat more
If the cat is not satisfied during the estrus period, it will actually be very irritable. The owner can use some toys to attract the cat's attention and make it not feel so uncomfortable. You can also feed them some snacks. Once you eat them, you will feel better.
3. Supplementing nutrition
Cats in estrus will lose a lot of nutrients and their appetite will also be reduced. If they do not supplement enough nutrients, the cat will be in poor physical condition and prone to illness. Therefore, owners can make delicious cat food for their cats, or choose a cat food with high meat content to feed their cats.
