I have 2 female cats. I know its a bit of a wierd question. Even though I don't have a male, but I am curious. As my title says
But what I was wondering is. How old can a male cat become old enough to breed
Thanks for any answers

Male kittens can be as young as 4 months and be ready to breed ;)

Thanks. That sounds a bit young. Is there signs that the kitten has matured

Not all will be ready at 4 months just some and you never know which ones. Normally around 6 months is average. Unfortunately there are no ways of knowing for sure when they are first ready.

By about 8 months their urine starts to smell strong like a Tom cat and they might start spraying but they could have been ready to mate for a couple of months before they start showing these signs.
