Cats generally prefer to mate unseen, usually on a quiet night. When the female is willing, she lowers her head, presses her belly to the ground, and raises her hindquarters. The male approaches and tests her, then mounts.
During mating the male usually bites the female’s neck from behind and finishes in about three minutes. Afterward the female typically lets out a loud cry.
