Can cats have multiple litters after one fertilization?

Answer 1

Cats

are seasonally polyestrous, which means they may have many heat periods over the course of a year. A heat period lasts about 4 to 7 days if the female is bred; if she is not, the heat period lasts longer and recurs at regular intervals.

The male cat's penis has spines which point backwards. Upon withdrawal of the penis, the spines rake the walls of the female's vagina. The female needs this stimulation for ovulation to begin. Because of this, females are rarely impregnated by the first male with which they mate. Furthermore, cats are superfecund; that is, a female may mate with more than one male when she is in heat, meaning different kittens in a litter may have different fathers.

Answer 2

I once read that when Tom cats bite the neck of the Queen it causes them to ovulate. So if a Tom cats gets his then bails, and another Tom cat comes along later that day he can do the same thing and causes her to ovulate all over again.

Answer 3

Absolutely not. A male cat does not have any place for kitten fetuses to grow.

It is difficult to tell the males from the females when they are kittens, so more than once a supposed male cat has turned out to be female once it matured.

Answer 4

Yes. One breeding session can produce 1 to infinity babies. Just like people, it depends on sperm count.

Answer 5

yes, my mother cat is multicolored gray tan black and white tiger and she had 3 looking like her one orange and white and one gray and white

Answer 6

Many.

Perhapse in the same day.

This results in one litter of kittens born but all with different fathers.

Answer 7

Not the same egg -- there would be too many chromosomes -- but different eggs in the same batch, yes.
