Hi - I have a 9 month old male cat and a 6 month old female kitten living together. Both are indoor cats, and both are as yet unfixed. I know most people will advise fixing them, but we were planning on 1 litter from these 2, and then fixing them
My male kitten has started acting like he wants to mate with the girl. He makes a lot of noise (kind of trills) at night, sniffs her scent around the house, and sniffs her bum a lot, and just now, i think tried to mate with her. They were both snoozing on a chair, when he suddenly got up, and kept biting her neck (but he does this normally anyway when play fighting). She was on her back, and it looked like he was trying to do the business, but i couldnt be sure! I think she thought he was just play fighting, as she was kicking him with her back legs and biting his ears etc..
I dont think she is in heat, as she hasn't displayed any of the signs, so his attempts (if thats whats hes doing) will come to nothing, but my questions are that is this behaviour harmful to my girl, and if she comes into heat soon, will it be dangerous for her to carry a litter, as she is still pretty small.
Thanks
