What happens to the inbreeding of cats?
The cat is a kind of pet that is very popular with people. Its aloof style makes many people happy, and many of its gestures can bring a lot of cute feelings. In various neighborhoods of the city, you can always see several people walking cats. Although most cats and pets undergo sterilization, some are still breeding for a variety of reasons, so what about cat inbreeding?
What will happen to the inbreeding of cats
Cat inbreeding refers to consanguineous mating within four generations. In this case, mating and reproduction may cause many serious adverse consequences, such as high empty pregnancy rate, even if pregnant, but less litter, low survival rate of kittens, decreased living ability of kittens, limited development of kittens, small size or abnormal fetus and stillbirth, and so on. And even if the kitten succeeds in growing up, it is also prone to a variety of genetic diseases.
In theory, close relatives of cats can breed. In general, the breeding lineage of purebred cats will be similar to each other. Cat inbreeding can not improve the cat breed, but it can maintain and carry forward the advantages and disadvantages of the cat bloodline. In other words, inbreeding is like a magnifying glass, which may further inherit and carry forward the advantages or disadvantages of cat parents in the breeding system, so that the advantages and disadvantages may be expanded.
Second, the breeding period of cats
Cats have the ability to have kittens after sexual maturity, but it is best to have children after the cat is more than one year old. Because the first estrus age of male cats is about eight months, and that of female cats is about six months to eight months. However, male cats generally reach full maturity at about one and a half years old, and female cats mature around one year old. if female cats less than one year old give birth to kittens, due to incomplete pelvic development, dystocia and fetal deformities may occur.
Cats belong to seasonal estrus animals, female cats will howl all night during the period of estrus, commonly known as cats call spring. After reaching sexual maturity and physical maturity, male cats can be mated. Male cats like to defecate anywhere and have a bad temper. When meeting a male cat, the female cat will roll on the ground to show her kindness. The mating process must be repeated several times in 2 to 3 days to ensure conception. From the date of mating, it is about 2 months after pregnancy.
The above is some knowledge about cat breeding. Friends who have kittens at home must be patient and careful with their cats. As long as they feed them carefully, they can have a lot of fun.
