Reproduction

Kaithrit reproduce in fundamentally normal mammalian style, with males impregnating females who then give birth to live young that are suckled on milk from their mammary glands. Furthering the gender confusion are males who remain in close, constant proximity to an expectant female. Pregnant kaithrit emit a steady wave of hormonal musk which can trigger a lactation response in males, swelling his breasts and allowing mother and father alike to nurse. Kaithrit pregnancy lasts approximately eight months after conception, and results in one to three kittens, though incidents of multiple births are quite low — most pregnancies result in a single healthy child. Male hormonal balance tends to return to equilibrium faster than females, allowing them to recover from the effects of a female’s pregnancy and return to their normal chest size quickly.
