No. Menopause is the period when women stop menstruating, and since cats do not menstruate in the first place, they cannot go through menopause. Only primates, such as humans and chimps, menstruate.

They don't even go through menopause in the sense of ceasing to experience estrus; cats remain fertile throughout life.
