Hello!
I am currently trying to breed two lynx, savannah, bobcat mixes. The female (14 months) is mine while the male (17 months) is my associate’s. The owner of the male has an office that he said would be great for them to live in until my cat gets pregnant. I couldn’t let her stay in my house as it is small and I live with a big family. All in all, the whole experience would be very uncomfortable for the parents and children living there.
The problem is that my cat is having trouble adjusting. She was clearly in heat before I took her to my associate’s office and now she seems to dislike the male. She was able to walk around and explore before the male arrived and she was very comfortable. I brought her tree, food, food bowls, toys, and beds so she would be very comfortable there. The male cat arrives and she hisses and swats to no end. Two days later, with many, many visits from me, and she is starting to adjust. My associate is beginning to complain about how long the whole process is taking.
My female is very friendly and comfortable with me and the male is actively seeking her and trying to court her, fully adjusted. She, however, wants nothing to do with him. I think part of this is the fact that she’s temporarily living somewhere new (the office).
How long would it take for a female to get used to a new place and be willing to mate? Do I need several months or only a week or two?
Thank you.
