Hi; I have a beautiful rescue cat, non-purebred. She had a litter and all kittens went to good homes and were spayed/neutered. If I wanted her to have another litter before spaying - just bc she's so cool and pretty -- I would give kittens to good homes -- have been told I'd need a stud as I don't want to just let her out back door. Have also been told that studs won't work as their owners will only stud their cats w/other purebred cats.
Also, wondering re logistics: at whose "house" do the cats get together? The female's house or the male's house? And how long do they have to be together, generally? Have heard everything from one long day to three days. I just wanted to get some more info on this. Btw, we seem to have a shortage of cats for adoption in our area.
And, bc I'm not a breeder - I just think she deserves to pass along her genetics - if being pregnant/having a 2nd litter is really bad/painful for her, I'd want to know, bc then I wouldn't attempt it. When I called several vets, they said that cats are used to giving birth on their own and there are rarely any complications.
Also, I have her + 2 other cats (her kittens grown up). Would other cats leave kittens alone or would my poor cat be totally stressed out trying to protect her kittens against other 2 cats? Thanks for input!
