My girlfriend’s family has a male cat. Myfemale cat is in heat. They have never met. I would like to mate her with this male cat, cause they would produce the most adorable kittens. 
It usually takes a few days for cats to get acquainted. But the male cat’s owners want to neuter him and my cat may be done ovulating soon.
If your female cat is in heat, it won’t matter if they have never met. If she is ready, she will accept him.
that shouldn’t really matter go to a shelter and pick a cute little kitten out do you know that any cat that is going to the shelter’s is just being put down and you’re going to make more?!?!?!
pls dont do it unless you are willing to keep ALL of the kittens. there are too many kittens that dont have homes because of that very reason. they will make beautiful kittens… so you breed them, keep one, and the rest end up needing homes.
Only if you are the type of person who couldn’t care less that 8 million cats a year are killed because of irresponsible stupid stuff like you are talking about
take a trip to your local aspca or shelter. if you can afford to take care of all these kittens then you can afford to adopt ones that already need homes. don’t make the big problem of over population worse. that is just irresponsible. just think you produce five kittens twenty five shelter kittens are put to sleep. get your cats fixed. that’s what real pet owners do.
ok, these depends on your decision…. 1st you gonna think about if you can afford the kitten also…
2nd if you cat is almost 3 years old you better met it with male cat cause perhaps it not have too much time left and also you can have a new accompany with you in your life…
PLEASE DO NOT ADD TO THE PET OVERPOPULATION PROBLEM!!!
Have your female SPAYED as SOON as possible, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! There are PLENTY of adorable kittens in the shelters needing homes! Even if you find homes for this litter of kittens (anywhere from 2-7) what will happen to those kittens? Will THEY then breed, and over and over again?
Did you know that in 2005, fully 75% of all cats in shelters were euthanized! If you DO find homes for, say, a litter of 5 cats, that’s 5 cats in the shelters that will likely be euthanized because they weren’t adopted because you had that litter of pets. Yeah, that’s a GUILT TRIP! But we shouldn’t have this situation to begin with!
SPAY and neuter, SPAY AND NEUTER… please please PLEASE!
Me… kittyslave23… I know my place.
Without knowing the parents of both of your cats and their parents, you can’t know that they would produce adorable kittens.
You also need to know that once your cat gets pregnant, you will be responsible for her care. That can include x-rays, emergency visits, c-sections, etc. You will also be responsible for the kittens’ care: exams, vaccinations, deworming, etc for all the kittens. And you will need to find all of the kittens loving and responsible homes. Without a contract, you cannot ensure that the male cat’s owner will be responsible for ANY of the costs of this pregnancy.
I would recommend getting all of the kittens spayed/neutered before their first heat cycle to prevent inbreeding and make them more adoptable.
I would also make sure that the male cat tests negative for FeLV and FIV before you ever bring him into contact with your cat. Also make sure he is tested for fleas, earmites, parasites, etc. that can be transmitted to your cat. Have your cat tested also. If your cat has any of these diseases/parasites she can transmit them to any kittens she may have and may even compromise her pregnancy.
Make sure that your cat is healthy prior to mating by having a vet check her out and discuss with him that you are looking to mate her. Remember that some medicines and even preventatives are not advisable to give to pregnant queens.
Millions of kittens are killed every year because more kittens are born. If you do not have guaranteed homes for all kittens that may be produced in this litter, I would not breed them. Especially seeing as neither cat is likely to be pure-bred or won any titles. Remember that no matter how cute your kittens are, they probably wont be worth selling.
Can you guys take care of all the kittens, or guarantee homes for the kittens?
If so, go for it.
First go see all the kittens in the spca cages. Realise for every kitten you cause to be by this mating, one will be put to death.
Then realise that you have no way of knowing what the outcome of a mating would be.
It’s plain irresponsible on every level.
Have them both STERILISED and show the world you have what it takes to be a responsible owner.
