You mean when they sexually mature? Depends on the cat. The average age for a female to come into heat is 5-6 months, but some can go into their first heat as early as 4 months.

Males usually start to "awaken" sexually around 5-6 months, also.

(From a website):


Q. At what age do cats reach sexual maturity?

A. Male cats will be able to sire kittens when they are about 5 months of age. They should not be used for breeding, however, until they are 18 months of age.

Female cats generally are sexually mature when they reach at least 80% of their adult weight. The timing of heat in a female cat is also dependent on the amount of daylight. Thus a female cat may have her first estrus anytime between 5 and 12 months of age. Feral (free-roaming) cats may reach sexual maturity earlier than indoor cats. Although a female cat is sexually mature when she is less than one year of age, she should not be bred until she is 18-24 months of age.

Yeah, my cat was about five months old when she went into heat. We didn't know what was wrong with her because I've only had male cats that had been neutered. She was being really affectionate and rubbing herself all over everything. Then she started gooing! It was pretty gross and she was loud (constantly meowing and making weird noises) so we got her spayed and we've all been happier since :)

if he changed into those days neutered, the hormones have not left his body yet. if he has been neutered for awhile, call vet and ask. a neutered cat ought to no longer masturbate or maybe get an erection, as he misplaced the hormones that tell him to. yet, i'm no longer an appropriate cat specialist, so i ought to correctly be incorrect.
