life cycle
of a cat
- Cats are born in litters of 1 to
10 young, after a gestation
period of about two months
- the newborn pups will
accompany the
mother for a period of
at least 30 days.
- Sexual maturity is
reached after 4 to 5
months in the female
and 6 to 7 in the male.
- The life expectancy of
the average cat is about
12 to 14 years, but
females can even live a
couple of years longer.
- The old age of the cat is
abrupt, unlike the
human one, and usually
lasts a whole year, until
death occurs.
- During this stage the
animal will show little
energy endowments and
will sleep most of the time.
