Ragged cats generally reach sexual maturity after six months. Female cats go into heat for the first time between 6 and 12 months old. However, because their internal organs have not yet fully matured, it is not recommended to breed too early to get pregnant. It is generally recommended that female cats can be bred after ten months of age. The male cat is stimulated to be in estrus by the female cat, that is to say, it will only go into estrus when it is stimulated by the female cat's estrus, and it can be stimulated to be in estrus anytime and anywhere, which means that it will cooperate with the female cat's estrus. However, it is generally not recommended to mate when a cat is still in growth for the first time. This can easily lead to problems such as miscarriage, stillbirth, and deformed fetuses.

Signs of a ragged cat in estrus:

1. Meowing is a typical sign of a female cat in estrus, and female cats especially like to meow at night and keep doing it all night long. When the female cat gets mated, she will stop meowing.

2. Cats in estrus also like to stick their butts out in front of their owners, which is also one of the signs that female cats are eager to mate.

3. Female cats will become particularly clingy after they are in heat. If the cat is usually relatively independent, this will be particularly obvious. The female cat will keep pestering the owner and rolling around in front of the owner. , just to attract the owner's attention.

3. Male cats also meow when they are in estrus, but they are not as vocal as female cats. However, the troublesome thing about male cats in estrus is that they like to urinate everywhere and the smell is unpleasant.
