Editing Leopard cat (section)

===Reproduction and development===
The breeding season of leopard cats varies depending on the climate. In tropical habitats, kittens are born throughout the year. In colder habitats farther north, females give birth in spring. Their [[gestation]] period lasts 60–70 days. Litter size varies between two and three kittens. Captive-born kittens weighed {{convert|75|to|130|g|oz}} at birth and opened their eyes by 15 days of age. Within two weeks, they double their weight and are four times their birth weight at the age of five weeks. At the age of four weeks, their permanent canines break through, and they begin to eat meat. Captive females reach [[sexual maturity]] earliest at the age of one year and have their first litter at the age of 13 to 14 months. Captive leopard cats have lived for up to thirteen years.<ref name=WCoW/>

The [[estrus]] period lasts five to nine days.{{citation needed|date=June 2010}}
