There are many varied in which animals compete with each other to attract a mate. A few are listed below:

Scent - some animals are capable of producing a hormonal scent, females respond to this and are able to track the male.

Colour display - many animals change colour at mating time, this is especially common in fish and chimpanzees. The colour change is used to show that the animal is 'available'.

Mock fighting - a lot of animals have 'fights' where the winner gets the mate. This type of fighting includes antler comparison in bucks (male deer) and peacock feather expansion. Although entitled fighting the animals rarely injure each other.

Hope this helps

Unless you are a breeder; you don't. Breeding two cats who have had no health tests (different from being checked over from a vet) is a potentially risky and dangerous endeavour. Cats, like humans, can catch diseases from mating, which can be passed onto the resulting kittens.

Cat breeding is best left to breeders who have experience and the knowledge to care for a pregnant Queen, the kittens, and what to do if a complication happens along the way. The cats that are bred are often cat show Champions who have been thoroughly health tested and are in the optimum of health. Contrary to popular belief, good breeders do not breed to make money, as often they see no profit at all. Good breeders only wish to improve their cat's breed and produce very healthy kittens.

Cats are not known to be discriminatory when choosing a mate. When a female goes into heat, she sends a scent message to the unaltered males nearby and will mate with as many as possible. It is very common for kittens from the same litter to have different fathers.

Most of the time animals use scents and sounds to find a mate. They will emit a certain smell or sound and if the female likes it, she will come to the male to mate.

Well that was a crappy answer, now wasn't it. Cats can continue to "mate" all they want, but there aren't going to be any kittens. They can still be aroused if that's what you're asking. It's best to get male cats neutered before 6 months of age when they become sexually active.

Do cats mate only when they want kittens?

Since we can't ask them, it's impossible to know with certainty. But it's unlikely that cats have enough awareness to associate mating with kittens and parenting. It's more likely that they mate by instinct, an involuntary urge.
