Table 1. Animal subjects.
Studbook numbers (SB #) were used to identify individuals and mates were based on Species Survival Program recommendations. Age was determined at the start of the study for each cat. Rearing is listed as either mother—raised by the dam or hand—raised by humans at any time prior to weaning. Breeding success was defined as copulations observed (Y) or no copulations observed (N). All individuals were sexually mature at the time of the study.

*SB# 661 was an intended mate, however no fecal samples were collected on this individual so he is only listed as a reference but not included as an individual in the study analysis.
