When is the best time for a cat to have kittens?

Many excrement shovelers do not sterilize cats and want them to give birth to kittens, so how old can cats give birth to kittens, which is also a science.

It is generally recommended that female cats be mated after 10 months of age. Because before that, the cat's body is not fully developed, and most cats do not reach sexual maturity until after 10 months of age.

At least wait until about one year old, female cats mature around one year old, and female cats less than one year old, due to incomplete pelvic development, may cause dystocia.

Cats should be 2 to 4 years old when pregnancy is the most suitable time. It is beneficial for the growth and development of baby cats.

It is required to be at least one year old or older. Because a cat's one year old is equivalent to a person's 16 years old, and 2 years old is equivalent to 24 years old. Do the math yourself.

1.Normal female cats can start mating at about 6 months, and male cats generally reach mating at about 8 months. Short-haired breeds will be a month earlier than long-haired breeds.

However, when cats reach sexual maturity, they must not mate immediately, they must reach physical maturity, that is, bones, muscles, internal organs and other organs must still grow, and they must reach full maturity.

2.Before maturity, the reproductive tract system and other systems of the cat are not fully developed, if you are pregnant at this time, it will cause the cat to miscarry, and it is also possible to have dystocia when the cat gives birth, and it may be life-threatening in serious cases. Therefore, cats can not be prematurely mated and reproduced, premature breeding will cause cat aging, abnormal development, and the kittens produced will also be sick, the survival rate is relatively low, and many excellent characteristics will also be degraded.

So be sure to wait until it's fully mature before you allow it to reproduce.

3.The owner can wait for the cat to be 1 year old before taking the cat to breed, at this time the cat is in good physical condition and suitable for conception. Under normal circumstances, short-haired male cats breed for more than a year, and long-haired male cats are best bred for a year and a half.

Female cats need to be more than a year old to breed well. If there are more expensive breeds of cats, the later the breeding is intact.

1. Cats are recommended to give birth to kittens after they are mature, and it is generally recommended to give birth to kittens over one year old and under five years old.

2. The kittens born in this way will be healthier, normal in shape, well nourished, more maternal antibodies, and less genetic diseases, at this time, the female cat's physique is also more mature, the amount of breast milk is also large, the IQ will also reach the mature stage, and it is easier to bring the kitten alive, so it is recommended to give birth to kittens under the age of one to five.
