Puberty in cats is a biological process that happens independently in both male and female cats. It's not a process directed at or influenced by the other gender.
Here's a clearer explanation:
* Male cats (toms) experience puberty around 6-8 months old. They start producing sperm and may exhibit behaviors like spraying urine to mark territory and becoming more vocal.
* Female cats (queens) also experience puberty around 6-8 months old. They begin to cycle (go into heat) and will be receptive to mating.
Both male and female cats go through puberty independently, and it's not a process where one gender's puberty impacts the other.
