Cat Breeding for Beginners

Күн бұрын

In this video I share with you my barn which is what I call my cattery set up. As a new breeder it can be really interesting to look at how an established breeder is doing things. It is a great way to learn. You can copy, adapt and try some of the ideas I show you even on a very small scale.
This video was filmed on a hot day in Perth (a whole week around 40c) but the cats are pretty cool and happy. It’s not edited and a bit raw but hey. I think you will still love it.

Thank you so much for sharing your cattery. I am pretty handing and actually enjoy cage building. I use to raise rabbits but due to COVID I was no longer attending showing, so gave it up. This is in means of diminishing what a great cattery you have built. When I had rabbits I never used wood because it is difficult to clean and bacteria can find breeding grown in wood. Have you had any problems with this in your cattery? I am not very good about finding answers on KZbin to questions I ask. I am not sure if there is another way of receiving a response without providing personal information. Thank you again. It gives me hope that I can actually create a home for my cats.

Wood is fine. Bacteria will grow on any surface in the right conditions 😀. Cats are not germy animals. We share our homes, couches, beds and lives with them and they are not a source of pathogens. Their areas, kept clean of course, are low risk.

Wonderful video. You are extremely helpful and informative. I am retired and entertaining idea of Persian breeding since it's my favorite breed however only want to start out with one couple. Am concerned about my male peeing on things (since am a nutcase about not having pee anywhere other than my 6 litter boxes) and would highly appreciate your opinion: breed them vs. not.

Boys have to be housed as students cats. You can love them like a pet but they need to be housed like a stud. And cats are not like dogs. You don’t get a breeding pair. You need four of five cats. The aim is to progressively improve the type and temperament not just to have kittens. They are a breed that needs extra grooming. But it’s super rewarding and showing them is fun. So if all of that fits then go for it. If not you can still get a shoe cat and shoe in the desexed class.

Every cat breeder should read this Who hasn't seen the ASPCA commercials about homeless n abused animals? It exists bc everyone turns a blind eye. Don't breed to abuse n kill. Help with the million Texas street dogs n cata suffering, starving, breeding n dying in the streets. Or rescue street cats n dogs where you live. Volunteer at your local shelter n give the animals your voice. Spay n Neuter. Don't breed . adopt a homeless street dog or a dog from a shelter. This is not cute it's a insult to animal control that has to kill pets bc of overpopulation. Get your pets spay n neutered. There are not enough pet homes n animals are being killed because there is no more space. We cannot adopt our way out of the dog cat overpopulation. Do the animals n world a favor don't breed to kill.

The barn is 120sqm and the cats have 80sqm. They have their own big evap aircon. The other side is Damien’s woodworking workshop and it has its own aircon. Pens on one side are 3m by 1.8m. There is one that is divided in two and one half size one. The other size is 2.4m by 1.8m. They have a removable panel and are normally opened up into two big pens. There is a lot of flexibility.

Cats mating are LOUD. I had dedicated stud pens outside so the girl just goes in with the boy. If the boy has a desexed companion that cat comes inside and if he has entire friends I will put him and the girl in my extra pen that is more of a play area, outside run for the inside and barn cats. I live in a semi rural area and only have two direct neighbors. They have no issues with the noise. One says she just knows it means kittens are coming. When we lived in suburbia it was still in the boys outside pen but only during the day. It all depends on your cats and your situation though.

I think both breeds are lovely and have such beautiful features which could produce lovely looking and lovely natured kittens , on the other hand I don’t want to encourage there being unhealthy kittens . Can you tell me your opinion on breeding these two cat breeds and if you think it’s best to breed just same breed of cats together . Thank you Pamela.

There is no way I would ever put them together because, unless I had an experimental program approved by the association I am with, I am not allowed to cross breed and I would not be able to register the kittens. For me being a cat show judge and the registrar for my association (plus a registered breeder for n army twenty years) I just can’t tell you how important it is to me that cat breeders are registered and only breed with registered cats in approved breeding programs. So the answer is no, never because that is just not allowed regardless of health of nature or otherwise.

can you speak about the toms, how do you set up the mating, how often should they mate so they dont pee like that, how do you keep them separate from the queens, what do you do with the queens after they have had 4 litters and are not allowed to mate again, and how do you control the queens when they go into heat and you cannot mate them as a queen can only have a litter every year

That’s a lot 😀. I will be filming more soon. Just quickly the number of girls a bit has won’t determine if he sprays or not. They just do or they don’t. And in my association we don’t have a four litter rule or a once a year rule. I believe breeders know their own cats. Some I have desexed after one litter as it was best for them and some I have had a last litter at six or seven years old. One was even ten. She had a lot of litters. I got her at two, she had her first litter at three and I would say she had at least six litters for me. She is a loved desexed pet girl here now. Super healthy but at her happiest when she had kittens. I think the issue is not everyone breeds with their cats best interests at heart so associations have had to step in to do it for them. It is a shame. Other peoples bad behavior means you now have to use hormones to control your cats natural breeding cycle. ☹️

Oh sorry I didnt read this question first. Who is helping you? What association are you with? It sounds like you have the cats but not much guidance and thats a shame. He will stink even if he doesnt spray so yes he needs a stud pen. His breed is pretty stinky and you dont want him getting to your girl before you are ready to mate them I have been to Florida and I know what you mean by a screened porch and no I dont think that would be suitable as they will get through fly screen and get out. You need a mesh plus it needs to be protected from the elements. If he is a kitten you have time to do some research and plan it out :)

Both can work but it depends on the cats. I would recommend small groups as you can really see who is eating well, toileting okay and not being picked on or fighting. Too many can be fine for the dominant cats but stressful for the submissive cats. You also have the risk of illness. If one gets sick they all get sick and a smaller group is easier to contain. If you want them to have space but can’t have them in big pens in small groups consider a shared area. Smaller pens but take turns in the bigger space. Great question

If she is a pet desex her now. She can become pregnant from about now onwards. Breeding cats are not easy to live with. If she is not a pedigree cat with registration papers saying she is a registered breeding female desex her now. If you do want to breed cats as a hobby you need to do a lot of research. They are a lot harder to keep than breeding dogs. It’s an expensive hobby. I love it but it’s a lot to get into 😀

Girls first and two is great. You can keep them in the house but be aware they may pee on things and be loud when they call. So start thinking about how you might deal with that if it happens. Boy later. If you can use someone else’s boy and breed your own even better. See if your cats breeder could have them back for an unrelated mating. Cat breeding and dog breeding is very different. Much more structured and breeding animals not pets in the way you manage them.

I love Ozpet especially for in the house. If you get the system running well then the smell and the tracking is so much better than any other litter. Breeders choice I will use if I can get Ozpet or for shows as it is lighter. 😀

Males don’t come in heat. Females do. Three days do you can count 65 days forward and know when kittens are due. That way you can be ready with the birthing area for her.

It’s a super hot day. The windows have block out boards across them to stop any extra heat from coming in. At night they come off and the windows are opened up for the breeze. If it is really hot though they stay closed and the aircon stays on. During winter they get the sun coming in and love to sit on the window shelves.

Every cat breeder should read this Who hasn't seen the ASPCA commercials about homeless n abused animals? It exists bc everyone turns a blind eye. Don't breed to abuse n kill. Help with the million Texas street dogs n cata suffering, starving, breeding n dying in the streets. Or rescue street cats n dogs where you live. Volunteer at your local shelter n give the animals your voice. Spay n Neuter. Don't breed . adopt a homeless street dog or a dog from a shelter. This is not cute it's a insult to animal control that has to kill pets bc of overpopulation. Get your pets spay n neutered. There are not enough pet homes n animals are being killed because there is no more space. We cannot adopt our way out of the dog cat overpopulation. Do the animals n world a favor don't breed to kill.

Your argument is exactly the same logic as saying no one can have a baby because there are children dying in Africa. Plus you have not even taken the time to see what I am about. First up I am in Australia not Texas. Secondly I advocate hard for early desexing prior to adoption. Thirdly I recommend donating and supporting animal charities. Lastly like all good breeders I take back any cat of any age that I have bred if the owner can’t keep them. So contributing zero percent to your list of problems. People choose breeds that suit their lifestyle and have the temperament they want to own. That means they are less likely to end up in rescue as they are a good fit for that home long term. But thanks for the spam post. Pretty sure it will have about the same impact on me as I have on you. Zero.
