The domestic cat () is considered an important model for the study of feline reproductive morphophysiology. However, although the morphological changes and clinical signs that occur during the estrous cycle and pregnancy are well known, little is known about the molecular mechanisms involved in the reproductive physiology of this animal species. Thus, this paper reviews the current knowledge about the modulation and expression profile of hormonal, immunological, redox, and growth mediators involved in the uterine, ovarian, and placental morphophysiology of domestic cats.
家猫（）被认为是研究猫科动物生殖形态生理学的重要模型。然而，尽管发情周期和妊娠期间发生的形态变化和临床症状已为人熟知，但对于该动物物种生殖生理学所涉及的分子机制却知之甚少。因此，本文综述了目前关于参与家猫子宫、卵巢和胎盘形态生理学的激素、免疫、氧化还原和生长介质的调节及表达谱的相关知识。
