At least the numbers work out that way assuming they keep having kittens and none of them die, etc. If each litter has 2.8 surviving offspring and each female cat has two litters per year. (Cat litters average about five and they can have a litter every three months so these numbers could be substantially higher.)

Year 1: (two cats litter at time zero, time six months and 12 months): 12 offspring

Year 2: 1/2 of all cats in Year 1 had 2.8 kittens at 18 and 24 months): 54

Year 3: 316

Year 4: 1819

Year 5: 10,479

Year 6: 60,360

Year 7: 347,674

Year 8: 2,002,600

Year 9: 11,534,979

Year 10:66,441,480

Total: 80,399,772

If you assume each litter has 4 kittens, the number is 6.9 billion. Even if each litter is two kittens, the total is still around two million. This is a pretty compelling case for fixing your cats.

Why do animals produce identical offspring and humans dont?

Animals often produce identical offspring through asexual reproduction, such as in the case of certain insects or bacteria. In humans, reproduction involves sexual reproduction where genetic material from two parents combine to create unique offspring with a mix of traits from both parents. This genetic diversity ensures a greater chance of survival in changing environments.

What two species can produce an offspring but the offspring isn't fertile?

A mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse.Horses and donkeys are different species, with different numbers of chromosomes.Of the two hybrids between these two species, a mule is easier to obtain than a hinny (the offspring of a male horse and a female donkey).All male mules and most female mules are infertile.


Can cats and racoons mate?

No.


Do mother cats mate with their offspring?

It is not common for mother cats to mate with their offspring, as this behavior goes against the natural instincts of most animals to avoid mating with close relatives. Inbreeding can lead to genetic health issues in the offspring.


How do cats produce babies?

They don't. Male cats, called toms, cannot reproduce with each other. A tom needs to mate with a queen (a female cat) that is in heat and receptive to him in order to produce offspring. Once the tom ejaculates sperm into the vagina of the queen, and the sperm travel through the cervix into the uterus to fertilize the egg, can the production of offspring can take place.
