Roughly six months.

They can begin to take an interest in the female at around 20/22 weeks but there is no exact age at which they become fertile, therefore a reasonable guideline is 6 months (26 weeks)

Unlike people, cats remain fertile all of their lives. The only guaranteed way to make sure your male cat doesn't get female cats pregnant is to neuter him. You should spay the females as well.

They can begin reproducing as early as 4 to 6 months, although it is highly advisable to spay the kittens before this time. At this age, they are still kittens themselves. The risk of complications and things going wrong with a pregnant kitten is significantly higher than with a fully adult cat who is expecting kittens. Spay and neuter kittens before they reach 6 months old.

A female cat that is not spayed is able to mate and give birth to kittens as long as she lives. Nikki

Female cats will breed until they die. They are not like humans and go through menopause. The cats will actively be in heat each month no matter the age of the cat.

When does a cat stop being in heat?

A female cat is fertile its entire life. Spay your cat to stop it from going into heat in the future.


Will the girl still have a menstal after being neuter?

First of all no girls are neutered. Boys are neutered. Only in dogs and cats. Not people. If you have a female pet, it has been spayed, then no, its heat cycle will stop.


How do you know when you boy kitten is on heat?

A cat's season is usually every two to four weeks, with each season lasting around two weeks. Cats will start to meow and almost howl and it can get quite annoying as they will not stop, they become almost too friendly. They stick their hind end in the air constantly and if they are indoor cat they will often try to get out or you may see male cats hanging about. It is best to spay a female cat before her first heat, so before she reaches six months old is the ideal age.


Do cats go through menopause?

No. Menopause is the period when women stop menstruating, and since cats do not menstruate in the first place, they cannot go through menopause. Only primates, such as humans and chimps, menstruate. (Cats will bleed a little while in heat, but this is part of the estrous cycle, which is not the same. Estrus in cats is closer to the period right after menstruation in humans.) They don't even go through menopause in the sense of ceasing to experience estrus; cats remain fertile throughout life.


How do you stop an indoor female cat from stalking another indoor male cat they are neutered and spayed?

This is how cats play and learn. It is fun to them. my cat's used to do that but then i pretended to cry every time they did it, and they made the conection!:)
