My female cat hasn't been in heat yet but my male is mounting her

Thanks for all the replies 🥰 I took my cat to the vet and we found out she’s about 20–25 days pregnant 😻😻😻 It’s true that I should have had my cats neutered ages ago... But anyway, I don't think I'll have the pregnancy terminated. Once she’s had the kittens, I’ll get them all done. Don’t worry, I’ve got no intention of abandoning the kittens; I’ll be keeping some and giving two to family members.

Thanks Blue Cat. I adopted him recently, and I’ve no idea when he was neutered! He’s been getting very frisky with his bed – his libido was through the roof!! Given his past, he has some behaviours that aren’t really typical for a cat: he doesn't like his cat tree, even with a treat on it, and cardboard boxes don't tempt him to hide inside them at all. He doesn’t like jumping up onto the windowsill, which is actually quite handy, and his only way of communicating is biting. He’ll eventually understand that I’m backing away when he bites, at least I hope so. That said, he’s a big ginger tom and very sweet when he forgets to bite.

Hi everyone, As for the benefits of neutering, it’s certainly up for debate, as the saying goes. Gimpy is 7 years old and we’ve only recently adopted him. He’s definitely been castrated—and I do mean castrated, not just sterilised. But whenever there's a very seductive, soft, faux-fur bed around, his libido goes into overdrive... So, I’ve got rid of the bed in question. But every now and then, if he’s near certain fabrics similar to that bed, he starts up again. It’s not quite as vigorous, but still: I suppose those other fabrics just aren't as "charming"...

Hi there, First of all, just so you know, a female cat's first season usually happens around 6 months old, but some can be late bloomers (sometimes up to 11 or 12 months). It's very rare, but it is possible. So, it's quite likely your cat hasn't actually had her first season yet, and there isn't necessarily anything wrong with her. Also, an unneutered male will tend to mount a female whether she’s been spayed or not, and whether she’s in season or not. To be honest, they’ll even mount other males! However, it’s most likely that your cat has already been in season. While a cat in heat usually shows a change in behaviour, this isn't the case 100% of the time, so you could have easily missed it. More importantly, as soon as mating has occurred, their behaviour returns to normal. You might have missed the signs in the short time before she was mated by your male, after which her behaviour would have settled down. A vet can usually confirm if a cat is pregnant from about 25 days after mating. If you want a definite answer, I’d suggest booking an appointment with your vet in the coming weeks. Otherwise, don't worry too much—the situation isn't alarming, just a bit of a mystery! Hope that helps put your mind at rest. Best regards, Zachary.

Hi there, There’s a very high chance your cat is already pregnant. At 10 months old, almost all female cats are capable of breeding (except for very slow-maturing breeds), and Siamese are the earliest to mature of all. An entire male and an unspayed female over 6 months old living under the same roof, both with Siamese genes, pretty much guarantees kittens. Just so you know, it’s quite common for a cat’s first heat (or ‘calling’) to go unnoticed.

Breed doesn’t really have anything to do with behaviour, so I’m not sure what to tell you as I’m no expert myself. Mind you, I can tell you that my neutered male humps my other male who hasn’t been done. There’s no need to worry, it’s nothing serious.
