A male cat usually reaches sexual maturity, and therefore be able to reproduce, at the age of about 6 months old, although some reach sexual maturity as early as 4 months.

Spraying is one sign that a cat is ready to mate. He will start to spray vertical surfaces to tell other cats that this is his territory, and to let any passing female cats know he is a willing and healthy mate.

However, it is not ideal to let a kitten breed. It is recommended to neuter kittens before the age of 6 months to eliminate the risk of breeding unwanted litters and possible health problems later on in the cat's life.
