If you notice that your cat is not showing any desire to mate despite reaching puberty, this could be due to a variety of factors, ranging from health to behavioral.
:Reasons for failure to mate in cats
Health problems:
Reproductive infections: such as uterine or vaginal inflammation, which causes pain .

Inappropriate Age:
Very young cats: Females reach puberty at 6-9 months of age, but mating too early (before 12 months) may expose them to health risks.
Older cats: After the age of 7 years, female fertility declines, and the male (tomcat) may lose interest in mating.
Stress and an unsuitable environment:
Sudden changes: such as moving to a new home or the presence of other animals.
Loud noises: These cause stress that prevents a cat from responding to its mating instincts.
Lack of privacy: Cats need a quiet, safe place to feel secure during mating.

Behavioral causes:
Aggression: A female may attack a male if she feels threatened.
Incompatibility: Some cats reject certain mating partners for unclear reasons.
Negative experiences: If the cat experienced trauma during a previous mating.
Genetic factors:
Inbreeding (mating between relatives): causes poor fertility and an increase in genetic diseases.
Certain breeds: Some breeds, such as the Himalayan, are more prone to reproductive problems.
Partial or total sterilization:
Spayed cats: If a cat undergoes spaying surgery, it loses the ability to reproduce.
Surgical errors: In rare cases, the sterilization procedure may fail, and symptoms may not appear until later.
