Can cats in the same nest mate and reproduce?

It is not recommended to breed a litter of cats, whose genomes are relatively close. Breeding a litter of cats is called inbreeding. Inbreeding will first cause miscarriage, mummified fetus, deformed fetus or stillbirth in female cats. Even after cats are born normally, kittens are prone to developmental abnormalities, such as dwarfism and skeletal abnormalities. Inbreeding can also lead to the expression of invisible genes, showing various invisible symptoms.

If the mating is successful, first of all, the cat will have slight vomiting, decreased appetite and increased sleep time in the early pregnancy; With the increase of pregnancy time, cats will have a great appetite, swollen nipples and swollen abdomen; The owner should pay attention to supplement nutrition during the pregnancy of the cat, and don't let the cat exercise vigorously; Finally, about two months later, the cat can give birth. If mating fails, the cat will estrus again about ten days after mating.
