Hello all,
I have a 5 and half month old male kitten and I have recently adopted a 3 week old female kitten.
I was reading this article that stated that some cats may start mating at 6 months old. so I started wondering: can male cats mate with kittens that are significantly younger? should I be monitoring my cats all the time so that the male doesn't try anything with the little female?
can female kittens' bodies put up with mating if the male cat is significantly older?
Just so you know, I live in a small studio. I have no doors in my place other than the bathroom door. So, separating the cats is not going to be a piece of cake.
