In that cats don't understand either complex familial relationships or genetics very well, it's not uncommon for cats to mate with direct offspring. From a genetic and health standpoint, this tends to reinforce weaknesses within the breed and will, over a few generations, tend to bring otherwise recessive genetic pathologies to the fore. From a health standpoint, it's an extremely detrimental way to raise healthy cats. Unless you can sequester the animal securly -- and this is pretty much impossible if they're in the same house, the best solution is spaying the female and neutering the male. As cats breed prolifically, in the wild or even in human population, this causes problems with insufficient food and, even in a domestic environment, it's hard to keep all those cats fed and healthy. Often, the options are a significant decrease in the health and comfort in the local cat population, followed by a die-off, or a program to spay or neuter the animals.

Have 2 pair of mated finches and one spare male Can you place the male in either of the cages or keep him separate until you get him a mate?

It's best to keep the spare male separate until you get him a mate to prevent any potential aggression between the birds. Once you find a suitable mate for him, you can introduce them slowly and monitor their interactions to ensure they bond well.


Why does cat try to mate with your arm?

Cats may display mating behavior towards their owners by trying to mate with their arm due to feelings of affection or comfort, mistaking the arm for a potential mate, or simply expressing their natural instincts. It is essential to redirect this behavior by providing appropriate toys and enrichment for the cat to prevent any unwanted interactions.
