Signs that a cat is pregnant after mating

Female domestic cats reach sexual maturity at 6-7 months, while male cats reach sexual maturity at 9-10 months. This depends on the season, breed, and individual characteristics. By this age, the animal has not yet reached physiological maturity and is unable to produce full-term offspring. The optimal age for reproduction is one and a half years. Therefore, mating during the cat's first heat is not recommended. A female domestic cat can mate and give birth to kittens 2-3 times a year.
