Yes,I suppose you could say it is.
A Male cats penis ia barbed,and therefore is painful when withdrawn after sex.
However,this barbing and the pain it produces is necessary to cause the female to ovulate.
Aren't you glad you are human!
Very true wolf,
Also when a Queen mates she can become fertilised by up to 4 toms,and have kittens that bear the characteristics and colouring of those toms.
This is why some female cats produce litters with ginger,tabby & black and white kittens.
Imagine if Human Females could do this!
