Cats may have many periods of heat over the course of a year. A heat period lasts about 4 to 7 days if the female is bred; if she is not bred, the heat period lasts longer.
A female cat may mate with more than one male when she is in heat, so different kittens in a litter may have different fathers.

If one is not used to the sounds of cats mating, it sounds very much like a cat fight.
The gestation period for cats is around 63-65 days. Sizes of a cats litter averages around three to five kittens, with the first litter usually smaller than subsequent litters. Kittens are weaned at between six and seven weeks, and cats normally reach sexual maturity at 4-10 months (females) and to 5-7 months (males).

Cats can be ready to go to new homes at about 7 weeks old, or when they are ready to leave their mother. A Cat can be surgically sterilized (spayed or neutered) as early as 6-8 weeks to limit unwanted reproduction. This surgery also prevents undesirable sex-related behavior, such as territory marking (spraying urine) in males and yowling (calling) in females. If an animal is neutered after such behavior has been learned, however, it may persist.
