Yes, mother cats do mate with their offspring. I had cat which had become so old that my family members used to call her grandmother cat. I had once seen her mating with her offspring and THEIR offspring at different times!
No, cows and cats are different species and cannot successfully mate and produce offspring. Their genetic makeup is too different for them to produce viable offspring.
Oh, isn't that an interesting question! In nature, it's best for cats to mate with unrelated partners to maintain genetic diversity. It's important to ensure all animals have the opportunity to find suitable mates for healthy offspring.
Cats and dogs reproduce through sexual reproduction, where a male and female mate to produce offspring. The male's sperm fertilizes the female's egg, leading to the development of a new individual.
Okapis are simply mammals and mate as such. They produce offspring by mating through sexual intercourse and then the mother gives birth to live young after about five months of pregnancy.
Dad cats typically play a less active role in raising their offspring compared to mother cats. They may provide some protection or resources, but the majority of caregiving responsibilities usually fall on the mother cat.
No, bobcats and house cats cannot mate and produce viable offspring because they are different species.
No, bobcats and domestic cats cannot mate and produce viable offspring because they are different species with different numbers of chromosomes.
No, cows and cats are different species and cannot successfully mate and produce offspring. Their genetic makeup is too different for them to produce viable offspring.
No, they are different species, like cats and dogs. They will not try to mate, and cannot produce offspring together.
No. Male cats are not involved at all with the bringing up of their offspring; only the mother cat will do this. Male and female cats will only come together to mate, and after will go their separate ways. In the wild, male cats can kill kittens in order to bring the female into heat again.

No, rabbits do not mate with their offspring. They typically mate with unrelated rabbits to reproduce.
Cats exhibit mating behaviors such as vocalizations, rubbing, and chasing during the mating season. In terms of reproduction, female cats can mate with multiple males, leading to a litter of kittens with different fathers. Incestuous relationships can occur among cats if siblings or parents and offspring mate, which can lead to genetic issues in the offspring.
Heterosexual
Yes, mother cats can recognize their kittens even after being separated. They use their sense of smell and memory to identify their offspring.
No.
When females reproduce without a mate, it is called reproducing parthenogenically. The offspring are genetically identical to the mother.
