Cats will mate throughout the year as the breeding season in cats is practically year-round, running as early as February, and as late as December, although the average season is from March to September. Heat cycles in females can last from several days to two weeks or longer, and repeat every two to three weeks. A female left unspayed and left to roam outside or manages to escape will seek out a male and may not return home for several days or weeks.

Cats reach sexual maturity at around 6 months (some have their first heat as early as four or five months), and will continue until she is either bred (heat cycles will start again a few weeks after the kittens are born or weaned) or spayed. Unless she is a qualified pedigreed breeder, a female cat should be spayed. It will not only cease the uncomfortable heat cycles, but prevent certain serious medical problems.
