LEOPARD CAT REPRODUCTION

After a 65- to 70-day gestation period, the female gives birth to one to four offspring, with an average of two to three offspring per litter. Leopard Cats have closed eyes when they are born, but they open within ten days.

The female — occasionally the male as well — is responsible for taking care of the young. At the age of eight months, the animals are entirely independent, and at the age of eighteen months, they are sexually mature.

Due to their elusive nature and declining numbers, the lifespan of these majestic animals is quite difficult to determine.
