A cat will become sexually mature a year after it is born, and will then, if it is female, be able to bear a litter of three to six (on average) kittens every year. If we assume a life span of four years, and start with two cats, at the end of the second year we'll have six, at the end of the third year we'll have ten, at the end of the fourth year we'll have 22, at the end of the fifth year we'll have 62. It goes on, better than doubling the number of feral cats each year, until they run out of food, or a disease or predator comes along and kills off a substantial part of the population.

Should the rabbit be a male with 2 male cats in the house?

What are the statistics on how many kittens unspayed cats and unneutered cats will have?

Do you have to neuter male cats?
No, but if you do they will be less vicious and they won't wander as far from home. (I have 4 cats and 2 are male. 1 is neutered and the other isn't. The neutered one doesn't have a care in life but the other one is still a big softy! It depends what your cat is like. Also, un-neutered male cats like to spray to mark their territory!) Hope this was useful to you.
Do boy cats stink more than girls?
No. Only unneutered boy cats spray urine around the house to leave their scent. This is a problem for owners because it smells really bad. Girls can spray, but usually only do this when in heat. Cats that are spayed and neutered before they reach sexual maturity (6 months old) do not spray in the house. Any accidents that occur are usually medical problems, usually a bladder infection.
Do male cats put there claws into the female while mateing?
