Hi Group.


Thanks to all of you who answered.


All unanimous in the answer so all I can say is she must've had a right
paaaaartaaaay!!


Only from a man's point of view. Tom cats have spines on their penises,
and
the spines cause eggs to be released. The yowls you hear from the female
are
not yowls of pleasure. I imagine the boys had a party.


Yes, it is true that cats mate with multiple partners, but even some
controlled partnerships will not give the desired results. Given the
fact that cats may carry many, many, many various genes, there is no
guarantee whatsoever that a cat will produce anything at all that
looks like either the Father or Mother cat. Unless the cats have been
bred in an ongoing controlled breeding program, there would be no way
to predict what the offspring will look like.

Some characteristics seem to be dominant, however....We took in a feral
Siamese mix, and had him fixed, but we were (obviously) too late, because
his progeny are all over town. For a while a couple of years ago, we would
keep finding dead cats on the road that looked just like Smokey, and then
we would be relieved when he would show up at our doorstep a couple of
days later........


True, my late cat Buddy was living in a feral colony when I took him in. He
was the only male adult cat with the markings he had and yet most of the
younger cats looked just like him.
