REPRODUCTION IN CATS
Generally, domestic cats reach the age of reproduction between 7 months and year.
A female may be in heat up to 5 times a year. The gestation period lasts between 63 and 65 days and delivery takes about 2 hours. Each litter has an average of 4 cats, this depends on the breed. The Siamese usually have more abysinius less. Each kitten is born in a single amniotic sac is broken at birth, if not break, so does the mother, she cuts the umbilical cord and eats the placenta, this stimulates milk secretion.
The kittens are born blind and deaf. Your senses begin to operate 10 to 12 days after birth. Immediately after birth the mother licks, this will not only clean but also stimulates circulation. A cat can have up to 3 litters a year, obviously the feline population control can not be left solely in the hands of nature, and should be castrated (male) 0 neutered (females), these are simple procedures.
