GRANDMOTHERS and GRANDAUGHTERS, A Breeding Plan
Hbbnbb❤😢😊👐❤️🥹👩❤️👨🇵🇸😭👶😘❤️🩹
Is it possible for a fixed male to “mate” with a female in heat to give her relief? I know she wouldn’t get pregnant obviously but would it “trick” her into thinking she’s out of heat? Would the fixed male instinctually do it or is he unable to mate if he’s fixed? Or would she continue to call/be annoying? Help!
It takes weeks after they are desexed for them to be no longer fertile so be careful about that. They can still have the instinct but they won’t have the hormones. So they will get on but not complete the deal so to speak.
I know you say they’re not pets but once they retire and you get them fixed. Do they calm down and become pets??
They absolutely can. If you look on my Cuddleton page on Facebook I just posted photos of my stud cat Gunther in his new home. He is no living with the family that have his mother and his aunt. 100% a pet boy now.
The kitten I have this problem with is very animated and vocal about this process. She really wants me to give her back to mama.
Hi Pamela, I am a new breeder expecting first litter of ragdolls next week. I have been advised if cat is having contractions for 30 minutes without producing a kitten she should be taken to vet, I think this is too soon do you have a cut off time or do you just go by how the cat is during labour? Thanks xx
Oh that advice is a bit off. The first kitten can take longer. A breach kitten can take a lot longer. The first kitten if it is breach will be longer still. If a kitten is stuck it can be an emergency but it is very unlikely that an hour or so will change that. It’s important to know how long but not to panic. Remember cats often give birth in the night with no one counting the minutes and they do just fine. A natural birth is always better than a Csection. For your cats plus it’s expensive and that money could be spent on other cat bills. Give her a chance to do it but go in if she can’t. It’s a fine line and experience helps. I hope the birth goes really well. Message me on Facebook if I can help with anything else.
After about two years of breeding we have learned most of that the hard way 😂. Your podcast was definitely pushing some buttons. Precious information for anybody who is about to get into breeding. Thank you!
That’s wonderful. You keep going and get the joy from your hobby. Message me on Facebook if I can help at all.
Thank you for sharing. I’m a cat breeder as well and I’m wondering do you give calcium? I give calcium after every delivery of a kitten. Usually 1-2ml. Honestly, I’ve been doing it with all of my queens for 5 yrs now that I don’t know how it is without it. What are your thoughts?
Yes I do!
I have female Egyptian mau, two female Russian blues and one male Russian blue.
As pet cats? That’s great.
Thank you for your honesty.
My pleasure! Hope it’s helpful.
Hello Can I suggest growing Your you Tube Channel
I’m good
Thx for this video. I followed the instructions and noticed that both eyes were open at one point, but later ie next day both eyes were shut again. Is this normal?
Yes they can keep doing it for days. You just keep cleaning and ointment till they come good.
@@CatBreedingforBeginners what if this happens at about 7 weeks old? Same procedure?
We did a my dads closet 😂🤪
If it’s a good space then perfect!
@@CatBreedingforBeginners The mama has birthed there before, (we meant to get her spayed but she has a knack for sneaking out and getting pregnant) And today we set it up and she loves it! The only thing she wants in their and doesn’t have is me lol
what causes it? does it ever go away on its own?
It’s bacteria that gets in when the eye first opens then it closes from the infection and seals in the bacteria. It will eventually blow out but you risk eye ulceration or losing the eye if you let it get that bad. It’s easy to clean and treat.
Thank you!! 💚💚💚💚

We are actually having a problem with our stud who always spray! Thank you for this video 🥹
Yes, they don't all spray but when they do it is hard to manage.
When I think backyard breeding this is what comes to mind, cats in cages. When you desex your cats and try and rehome your stud cats and queens their mentality of them is destroyed and they can really struggle emotionally with how overwelmingly diffent being a house cat is! I adopted an ex breeding queen and I didnt know untill after that she was kept like this, she gives herself affection on furniture and is extrelly timid and shy and scared of large spaces and being in a house! Its really messed her up emotionaly I can say for sure! I feel sad that she had to go through that, its probably going to take years for her to come out of her shell. But this is just the harsh reality, its your 'hoby' but your playing with their life! With such a commercial set up I wouldnt be calling it a hobby but a business, factory breeding.
I strongly disagree. You only have to look at my Facebook page Cuddleton British Shorthairs, to see many examples of my breeding cats that have gone on to have wonderfully lives. Yesterday I got a photo of Ellie who her owner says sits on the kitchen bench while she preps dinner and sleeps on her kids beds at night. Mila does story time with her new little humans. Bernard now lives with his brother and loves to lounge about the house. It’s the breeding. I have bred for temperament first for years. I keep social cats for breeding so they will settle in new homes later. Every cat is different. Your cat is shy. It’s not because she was a breeding cat. You can’t use one example and call it a rule sorry.
@@CatBreedingforBeginners of course anyone who does backyard breeding would defend themselves
Hi im based in South Africa and Im interested in breeding cats I've got a female exotic shorthair about one years old and a male persian three months old. They are showing really odd behavior as of late and i would love some more information. Im still very new to the breeding business but care a lot for my cats. I've never bred before and I would like to ask some advice and gain more knowledge. Is there a way to contact you?
Sure. Message me via my Facebook page which is Cat Breeding For Beginners 😁

I love the perfume! 😂😅😂😂😂😂
It’s so good. My cats smell like tropical cocktails
Do breaders separate kittens from their mothers for money? Doesn’t it traumatize the mother?
No? Why or how would that be for money? And cats are not people. They don’t have feelings about their offspring the way we do.
@@CatBreedingforBeginners oh thanks
Mother cats start to reject their kittens at 13 weeks. They can become very aggressive towards them. A bit like a kid living at home at 50 kind of thing. Wow! I hope the kitten is doing well that's a big expense. You are a fantastic breeder. ❤
Hi , can you tell me if i can have 2 female cats in with my male cat in their bedoom to breed them , they are all year round breeder cats Ragdolls . Thank you , hoping alls well with you .😊
It’s not done. One at a time is best practice. It is not seen as good animal husbandry and a bit exploitative of the male. You want to have the girls separate, in for three days of mating then out. The next girl can then go in for three days.
Hi!! Do you have experience with FIP in kittens? I know very little about it and had a new kitten owner reach out to me and say there new kitty might have it 😭 I have no idea how to move forward with my program after hearing this news 😭😭
Yes I have. There is a lot of info about it now and treatments that are not expensive. What country are you in.
Will it work if kitten’s way past eye opening period?!? Prolly 1/2 months old?!?
Yes absolutely
Would you be able to share a link for the containers you're using, please? I've tried searching myself with no luck.
Decor brand in Australia. Spotlight have them.
Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with the rest of us, the information and tours you provide is valuable, but I wanted to mention something. . . The audio here is VERY echo-y and I can barely understand what you're saying. I don’t know what the fix for that would be, but I just wanted to say something incase you weren't aware.
Noted! Thanks.
It would be nice to see more of the setup?
Yes I should do an update 😃
I'm in the UK, I've been with Royal Canin Breeder scheme for several years but they only send me the cards to give to new owners and they have to text a code to RC to claim the packs.
Oh they don’t have bags or blankies? But great that your owners can get free food. My tip would be to get them to do the code text by sending it to them in an email and then reminding when they are picking up their kitten so they can do it if they forgot. Gotta get the free bag lol.
@@CatBreedingforBeginners Yes I do send to new customers once they have paid deposit if kittens are not ready to go home and yes, I buy blankets myself etc to send home with them x
Subscribed! I already have an appointment with the vet today. I have a 6 week old beautiful black kitten whose eyes are completely shut 😞 I already watched your video about it and thank you so much. ❤ I wasn’t gonna take any chances hence the vet!
Six weeks is a bit old for that and I bet you have a bit of feline herpes so good call to see the vet.
Hello!!! What’s the best age for cats when they actually start mating ? I’m a beginner in breeding. My male cat is about 14 months old Maine coon (white and large framed) I do suspect that he’s deaf. My female cats are: 3 years old Maine coon Ragdoll at least 14-15 months A seal point Persian who’s at least a year old now But none of them are showing any signs of heat or mating. They all live in one room. I don’t know if they are all late naturally or the male is deaf due to which there’s no activities. Any tips ?!
Oh my goodness why are three breeds together? No no no. Are they registered breeding cats?
No they are not. I got them as a pet tbh but I wanted to experience how it’s like breeding before deciding if I want to officially or not. They were actually cats that were given away or no longer wanted cats. I do want to breed the Maine coons and the ragdoll with the Maine coon. Do I have to keep them all separate ? Is it because there’s too many females with one male ? Is it because they are all different breed ? I know cats don’t usually care as I’ve seen many perdolls and coon dolls. One of my other young kitten is a Persian mix ragdoll. Or are they still too young ? Or is it because the MALE is DEAF so he can’t do anything. I’ve asked advice from a few breeder I know but no one wants to give away any information so I’m genuinely confused
What pretty sparkly tiles you have. Great idea I think I’ll try it but for the catio
Great idea. They love them.
I breed exotic persians and they don't seem to chew through afterbirths either.
Some of my cats do the whole thing like Yammy and some do nothing sigh.
@@CatBreedingforBeginners thank you, can you tell me your procedure of doing this? do you wait for a few minutes after birth till it dries a bit
What do you recommend to get rid of the smell they leave behind?
I use a product called Trueeco
I’m going to subscribe to your channel bc you are very articulate and easily understood. Informative as well. Everything you said I’ve gone through. My females make me sick to be around when in heat. They roll over and over while laying down 🤡 call and cry 😭 ugh. I do a lot of cleaning and searching for peeeeee 😩 places ie: I always look at a plastic bin in the light reflectivly, sure enough there it is. So I needed this video thanx.
I appreciate that! Yes girls need housing just like boys as they are crazy when they are calling.
@@CatBreedingforBeginners 😂
You’ve taken it to another level! I love it. 😻
Wow, thank you!
Is it acceptable to not breed in family house and instead a kennel like yours ? Wouldnt they be more comfortable in the house ?
They would be more comfortable but my house would be coated in pee and poop and scratched up. Multi cat households of breeding cats are stressful for cats. They bully and fight each other. And they wreck the place. It’s not sustainable. Anyone who says their stud cats don’t smell is lying or needs their nose checked. Ask your closest most honest friend if your cat smells like pee. They will tell you the real truth 😉
Hello i know this is an old video but i rescued a stray who was pregnant her babies are 14 days old and all have opened their eyes except one of them and one has one eye open and one eye closed. I know it can take up to 16 days but im worried since the rest of them have opened their eyes. What do i do?
This was so entertaining and informative The insistent mahma meows had me cracking up at work
Love it.
I love your honesty ❤️
Thanks. 🩷
Thanks, very helpful.
You're welcome!
I had one fade away on day two out of three kittens 😢
It happens and you never know why. It’s hard.
I have a savannah f2 but her body size is more like an f4 she’s has the small gene would 84l or be suitable for her
If she is about the size of a regular Bengal cat then the same size as what I use would probably work. You really want it to be big enough that they can stretch out, but that their legs can still touch the sides so they can have something to push on.
@@CatBreedingforBeginners thank you so much yeah she gave birth thursday she did it her self I placed the heat pad disc under the towel in the box and also got a heater oil electric one as our boiler broken down so we have no heating in the room keeping the heater next to the crate I have as well I really appreciate your help with out your advice I don’t know what would of been the result
What size do you need to buy for the birthing box I’m struggling to see which one is right please asap
I go into that on this video Set Up Your Cats BIRTHING AREA with me th-cam.com/video/It_zn8l7WBI/w-d-xo.html
@@CatBreedingforBeginners I did thank you I have a savannah she’s given discharge of blood yesterday I think she’s going in labour any time so rushed to the shop brought a 60l box then realised from your video that’s too small I’m in UK so I’ll have to wait till shops open unless you think it’s suitable
Thank you for the great advice.
You are so welcome!
Exactly as I've known to work, both from reasoning and the vets. Thanks for spreading this technique for all (I don't often, but needed to when rescuing abandoned ones especially; moms can lose count when they relocate). In proper care, mom is constantly licking clean her brood. At times they get missed, or, if no mom, then you become mom. Sterile warm water is the best solvent for anything on (or out of) cats. You're a dear for this care, thanks!
hi i know this video is pretty old but one of my kittens had both eyes open but now has one closed , would i need to help as well or ?
