Yes. Puberty is the process by which an animal becomes able to reproduce. Cats usually go through puberty somewhere around 5 to 9 months of age, although there is some indication that some female cats are maturing more rapidly and may experience their first heat (oestrus) as early as 4 months, and all female cats that aren't spayed will eventually come into heat, which means that they are ready and able to reproduce. There is some disagreement among vets regarding when pets should be spayed (females) or neutered (males). Some vets will fix a cat as early as two months or three months (depending on body weight and health) while some prefer to wait until 6 months.

Just as in human teenagers, cats may experience behavioral changes during puberty. Some challenging of boundaries and willful misbehavior is to be expected. Female cats in heat may exhibit any or all of these behaviors when going through their first heat: 1. Loud and frequent vocalization

2. Excessive genital licking

3. Unusual displays of affection, including rubbing hindquarters on people, carpets, or stuffed animals

4. Spraying a surface. She will back up to a surface like a couch or a wall, lift her tail, and spray. The liquid will usually have a strong smell.

5. Crouching with her front legs so that her rear is lifted into the air. Her tail will be lifted out of the way. Her rear legs may walk in place.

If a female cat is not fixed, she may go through this months of this behavior every two to three weeks until she is either spayed or successfully mated.

Ways to tell male cats are going through puberty:

1. Territorial markings -- spraying urine on many surfaces in or around the house

2. Trying to run outside if an indoor cat or roaming far away from the house at night if an outdoor cat in search of a female in heat.

3. Fighting with other males
