When cats mate they caterwaul and it can be quite loud.The reason for this aggressive behaviour is that the tom cat\u2019s penis has little barbs or spines on it. When the penis is inserted the spines lay flat, but when withdrawing the penis, the spines cause a raking action on the female\u2019s cat\u2019s vagina, causing pain, and so the female reacts by attacking the male.Why does the tom cat\u2019s penis have spines?Female (virgin) cats who have not mated do not ovulate. The pain caused the first time the female cat mates causes shock, initiating the ovulation cycle (this will take a little over 24 hours to actually begin).The female is then \u2018on intense heat\u2019 for around 3 days. A queen may mate as quickly as 30 minutes after the first copulation.Why does the male (tomcat) bite the female on the neck during mating?This all explains why the female cat is so angry and tries to swipe the male, and also why the male has to be very careful not to get injured \u2013 hence why he holds the female by the neck (scruff of the neck).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"699\" height=\"699\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/FB_IMG_1677137452847-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/FB_IMG_1677137452847-1.jpg 699w, https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/FB_IMG_1677137452847-1-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 699px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reasons why do female cats scream during mating.It is well observed that a female cat will scream, screech or become very aggressive during or just after mating with the tomcat.
