At what age can a Maine Coon cat have kittens?
Maine Coon cats can only give birth to kittens when they are 1 year old. Usually, Maine Coon cats will go into estrus when they are 7-8 months old. However, it is not recommended to mate and breed Maine Coon cats that are in estrus for the first time because the reproductive organs of Maine Coon cats are not fully developed at this time. If they are pregnant and give birth, Dystocia can easily occur, which is dangerous for both kittens and mother cat.
Tips:
Maine Coon cats are in estrus just like other cats. They will bark often and urinate everywhere. If you do not plan to breed Maine Coon cats, it is recommended to breed them as soon as possible. Neutering Maine Coon cats can also effectively prevent Maine Coon cats from suffering from some reproductive organ diseases. If the owner does not want to neuter the cat, he or she can feed the cat some anti-estrus powder to reduce the symptoms of the cat’s estrus.
