Introduction
Cats (Felis catus) are seasonally polyestrous animals that have multiple estrous cycles only during certain periods of the year.
The cat genome was initially sequenced in 2007[1] and has been recently annotated in August 2014.[2]

Developmental Timeline
Twenty-two stages have been described for the prenatal development of the domestic cat.[5]
The following data on early development is based upon the time after copulation[6]
oviduct embryo development
- 64 hours - 1 to 4 cells (17 of 20; 85.0%)
- 76 hours - 5 to 8 cells (18 of 28; 64.3% )
- 100 hours - 9 to 16 cells (14 of 24; 58.3%)
- 124 hours - morulae (15 of 21; 71.4% )
uterine embryo development
- 148 hours - compact morulae or early blastocysts
- days 12-14 - implantation occurs

Early Development
Hill JP. and Tribe M. The early development of the cat (Felis domestica). (1924) Quart. J. Microsc. Sci., 68: 513-602.
Hill and Tribe in 1924[8] wrote a detailed description of oocyte to blastocyst development in the cat.
Placenta
- zonary placenta without cotyledons
- relatively small marginal hematoma
- materno-fetal barrier is endothelial-chorial
- superficially invasive into the endometrium but not into the myometrium
- placental labryrinth has characteristic giant cells
Placental cord
- two pairs of vessels in the cord
- two arteries and two veins
- allantoic duct
- cord average length 2 to 3 cm and 0.3 to 0.5 cm in diameter
- inserts at the margin of the zonary organ
- no spirals, no vitelline duct, and no additional vessels or structures

Pages where the terms "Historic" (textbooks, papers, people, recommendations) appear on this site, and sections within pages where this disclaimer appears, indicate that the content and scientific understanding are specific to the time of publication. This means that while some scientific descriptions are still accurate, the terminology and interpretation of the developmental mechanisms reflect the understanding at the time of original publication and those of the preceding periods, these terms, interpretations and recommendations may not reflect our current scientific understanding.
