Maybe suddenly, your cat becomes the protagonist of "Midnight Song", which is a signal that the cat is in estrus. From a medical point of view, estrus is a cyclical sexual activity that occurs after the female cat reaches sexual maturity. Phenomenon, estrus proves that their sexual organs have matured, can produce eggs, and have the ability to give birth to the next generation. Some owners think that their pets are in estrus out of their desire for love, so whenever cats and dogs are in estrus, It is a misunderstanding that people are eager to find their partners for them. Therefore, parents who have cats need to understand the issue of cats in estrus.

You may have little female cats at home, but do you know some common sense about their estrus? Let me answer them one by one below.

1. At what age does a cat go into heat?

Answer: The male cat’s estrus time is around eight months old, and the female cat’s estrus time is around six to eight months old.

2. When is the best time to have a baby?

Answer: Male cats generally reach maturity around one and a half years old, and female cats mature around one year old. Female cats less than one year old may have dystocia due to incomplete pelvic development.

3. What kind of male cat and female cat are more suitable?

Answer: The size and weight of male cats and female cats should not be too different. If the male cat is too big and the female cat is too small (for example, the weight of the male cat is more than twice that of the female cat), the fetus may be too large, causing dystocia. Before breeding, female cats must be in good health and weigh at least six pounds. Male and female cats that have been weak and sick since childhood are not suitable for breeding. Male and female cats with genetic defects cannot be used for breeding. Genetic defects include teeth. If a weak female cat is forcibly bred, the fatigue of pregnancy and childbirth may endanger her life or lead to future diseases.
