The domestic cat shows a great variability in different life history traits like its social organization, ranging from a solitary life to living in large social groups depending on environmental conditions. Until now, the mating system has not been shown to vary between populations and was described as promiscuous. Here we present data on the reproductive success of a male, which clearly show that monopolization of females by males is possible in this species.
家猫在不同的生活史特征(如社会组织)方面表现出很大的变异性,其社会组织从独居生活到根据环境条件生活在大型社会群体中不等。到目前为止,尚未发现该物种的交配系统在不同种群之间存在差异,并且其交配系统被描述为滥交。在此,我们展示了有关雄性繁殖成功率的数据,这些数据清楚地表明,在该物种中雄性有可能独占雌性。
