Cats are classified as induced ovulators, meaning that:
-
A
Ovulation is spontaneous and occurs predictably at mid-cycle
-
B
Ovulation requires the mechanical stimulus of coitus or exogenous GnRH to trigger the LH surge
-
C
Rising estrogen levels alone are sufficient to trigger ovulation without any external stimulus
-
D
Ovulation is controlled entirely by day length and seasonal photoperiod
