Male cat calling after birth. Should I bring another female home?

Question

Thinking to bring another female to mate with my male cat, my female just gave birth, and he's calling. Can two females coexist for few days? Pet's info: Cat | Himalayan | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 6 months old

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

I would not recommend bringing in a stranger cat to mate with your male. Not only will it cause stress for Habia who has a litter of kittens to look after, but you could be creating another litter of kittens with this mating, which is not responsible breeding unless you are planning to look after this female and her kittens as well. In addition, allowing him to mate this time will not stop the calling, he will continue to call because this behavior is hormone driven. The only way to stop the calling is to have your male neutered, which I would recommend.
