Friday Fauna Facts!!

Female cats scream during mating primarily due to pain caused by the male cat's anatomy, which is designed to trigger ovulation. It is a natural, albeit dramatic, part of the feline reproductive process.
The scream (often a loud yowling or "caterwauling") occurs because the removal of the prickly organ is uncomfortable or painful for the queen.
he male bites the female's neck during the act to hold her still, prevent her from fleeing or fighting back, and to calm her, even though she still screams.
