Both males and females average 26 months at first reproduction. They usually a ready for mating is in March and December. Males tend to be aggressive biting the females necks. Females give birth to a litter of 5 but, often 3 cubs.

The young cubs are blind and helpless, much like the young of many other cats. Unlike adults, the kittens spots are solid completely dark rather than dark rings. The young can see within about 10 days of birth, are active within five weeks. They attain the adult coat pattern at around six months, and probably become independent after around 10 months
