Feline Reproductive System
Friday, February 29, 2008The male cat's penis has spines which point backwards. Upon withdrawal of the penis, the spines rake the walls of the female's vagina, which may cause ovulation. Because this does not always occur, females are rarely impregnated by the first male with which they mate. Furthermore, cats are superfecund; that is, a female may mate with more than one male when she is in heat, meaning different kittens in a litter may have different fathers.

Wow, it must hurt being a female cat. That must be the reason why cats are so loud at night. And I always thought that a cat's cry meant ectoplasmic organisms were nearby. Next time I hear cats moaning, I'll definitely remember this so I won't get scared haha.
