Hi guys!
I am new to the site, so I hope that this question hasn't been asked yet.
I have been interested in breeding siamese cats for quite some time. I contacted a breeder that has been great about helping me and explaining things. But she houses her stud cats in an old (heated and air conditioned) bus in her back yard. I would ultimately like to house my male indoors, (he is only 10 weeks old atm so I still have some time to figure things out) but I am concerned about having my home smell like a litter box! I know that he will spray, and I know that I will ultimately have to contain him in some way so that he is not able to mate with my queen(s) when he shouldn't.
I am curious as to what other breeders have set up to keep stud cats in their homes? Do you have a specific room for him? Or a large "cat house"? What's the cat house made of? and does it contain the cat spray?
I have a room on my main floor that we call the "animal room", (we have two shih tzu's, a neutered male modern seal point siamese, and a classic male and female lilac point siamese) . It doesn't have much in it other than stuff for my zoo crew, like food, toys ect. It's a high traffic area, so I would like to make some sort of housing there so he will always feel like part of the family and I would let him out to roam with stud pants on when he could be watched.
I want to make him as comfortable as possible without having my house stink like cat urine, is this even possible? Or is it wishful thinking on my end?
