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.

Can a cow mate with a cat?

No, cows and cats are different species and cannot successfully mate and produce offspring. Their genetic makeup is too different for them to produce viable offspring.


Can Dogs and cats have offspring?

No, dogs and cats cannot crossbreed and produce offspring. They are two different species with a different number of chromosomes, making it biologically impossible for them to reproduce together.

Animals such as cats and dogs create offspring through which method of reproduction?

Cats and dogs reproduce through sexual reproduction, where a male and female mate to produce offspring. The male's sperm fertilizes the female's egg, leading to the development of a new individual.

Do frogs or cats care for their offspring the most?

Cats care for their offspring far more than frogs do. Frogs do not care for their offspring at all. Cats, being mammals, feed their offspring milk, and take care of them while they are kittens.

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.

Is the DNA of a rabbit and a cat simliar enough to have combined offspring?

No. Rabbits and cats are in a different animal groups. Rabbits are rodents (rats, mice, guinea pigs, squirrels, etc.), while cats are felines (tigers, lions, bobcats, leopards, etc.) Animals generally have to be in the same animal group to reproduce and have "combined offspring" together. Wolves and coyotes can have combined offspring naturally, as can wolves and husky dogs. But the animals have to be very similar, and rabbits and cats are actually very different from each other.
