Cats are polyestrus, meaning they go into heat multiple times a year. It's best to breed cats when they are at least one year of age. At this age, they will be physically and emotionally mature, and thus better able to properly take care of kittens. Cats have a very distinct behavior when they are ready to be bred. You will see Gg roll around on the ground and act more playful than usual. She will be more vocal, and will try to get outside more often to find males with which to mate. She will also stand arched with her tail straight up, and her back and rear legs stiffen when touched. When you see this behavior, she will be receptive to mating with a male. Heat periods in cats typically last 4-7 days, and will become longer and more frequent if she isn't bred. Cats become more sexually active during certain seasons, early spring and late autumn in the US. When Gg goes into heat, you can introduce her to a male cat.
