My first experience with a cat was in second grade when I left the house to walk to school and came across a mama kitty giving birth. I didn't know what was happening with the cat except to think that something was wrong. I got my mother and she told me to go ahead and go to school and when I got home there would be kittens. Boy I had to wrap my brain about that one!
I wanted to breed cats and dogs from that day on.
I have been planning to breed for the last few years. I have been learning along the way, but I have questions. For instance, how do you know when your cat is in heat? How do you keep your males and females from breeding? Do you know in enough time to separate them? Do you know of helpful books on breeding? Is there anyone who breeds that will be my mentor? I will be breeding Maine Coons. Hopefully I will be breeding solid whites and solid blues. I say hopefully because I live in Hawaii, and we have no rabies here, so they require that animals coming into the state either be old enough to have a full set of rabies shots, or be quarantined for 4 months in a pound-like setting with all animals isolated. I want cats old enough to have their rabies shots. I will start this process if I get breeders who will work with me. Also, I will wait until we own a house in about a year and a half.
Thank so much,
