A female can breed as early as 5-6 months of age but it's not recommended till they are at least a year old.

They can mate as young as 5 months but it's not recommended before a year old, any younger then a year and you risk complications and the mother not knowing what to do with the kittens.

If a female cat is pregnant will she still mate with a male cat?

No. A female cat will only mate while she is in season. Once a mating is successful and kittens conceived, the female will no longer be in season and will not do so again until the kittens are born and weaned off onto solid foods.

Pretty much the same way as a human being. It is thought that mating may be painful for a female cat as a male's penis has spikes on. The spikes start the ovulation process in the female cat while mating.


How can a cat get another cat pregnant?

It depends on what you mean by "need to have a mate": Yes, cats need to mate to become pregnant. Female cats, however, do NOT need a "mate" (i.e. a male cat) to raise kittens. Males only mate with females. The female gives birth to the kittens and raises them.


What happens when a female cat which is not spayed and a male cat that is neutered get together can they mate?

No, he can't. Neutering involves removing a male cat's testicles, which are the organs that produce sperm. Without them, it is impossible for a male cat to produce sperm, and therefore impossible for him to impregnate a female cat.
