| Description: | Why are there so many cats? It has to do with their efficiency of reproduction. Next to rabbits, there are not any other domestic “furry” mammals that can bear so many offspring in such a short time. A free roaming domestic queen (reproducing female) cat, in an active cat community full of toms (reproducing males) can produce up to three litters in a single reproductive season. The exact length of season depends on climate; late January to mid October is typical in temperate climate regions. |
