The normally solitary female will only be social with her young, or with a male during breeding season. The female gives birth to a litter of up to five kittens in a rocky cave or in protective clumps of brush. The kittens are born helpless and develop slowly. They are weaned at two months, but remain with their mother until the following spring. |
