55
What is NOT characteristic of a cats reproductive cycle?
In case no ovulation occurs, the corpus luteum phase is missing and proestrus begins again after the period of interestrus
In case ovulation occurred, but mating was not fertile, an approx. 35-day pseudopregnancy follows
The pseudopregnant cat is characterized by the onset of milk production, so the non-pregnant cat can also nurse the kittens of other female cats
In case of fertile mating, the female cat becomes pregnant, the length of the pregnancy is approx. 65 days
In case no ovulation occurs, the corpus luteum phase is missing and proestrus begins again after the period of interestrus
