Female Cat and Dog Reproductive Systems

The female cat's uterine structure is Y-shaped.

Female puppies reach sexual maturity at 6-7 months of age.

The oviduct is where fertilization occurs in female cats.

The cervix acts as a barrier between the uterus and the outside world during pregnancy.

Male puppies are usually born with fully descended testicles.

Female Cat Reproductive System

The female cat's reproductive system includes the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus, oviducts, and ovaries.
The vulva is the external opening of the reproductive tract, protecting the vagina.
The vagina is a tube leading to the uterus; it's also a passageway for the fetus.
The cervix is an opening between the urethra and vagina, acting as a barrier between the uterus and the outside world.
The uterus is a "Y" shaped organ extending to the kidneys with horns for embryo implantation.
The oviducts are tubes connecting the ovaries to the uterus, where fertilization occurs.
The ovaries hold eggs; ovulation releases them into the oviducts.

Female Dog Reproductive System

Puppy reproductive organs aren't fully developed at birth.
Female puppy ovaries mature around 6 months of age.
Sexual maturity in female dogs is usually around 9-10 months old.
Male puppy testicles usually aren't fully descended into the scrotum at birth; they are located in the abdominal muscles.
