Things to note when mating Somali cats:

1. Physical examination is required before mating: Before mating, you must first check whether there are parasites, fleas or ear mites. In case of poor health, it is best to postpone.

2. Selection objects: Purebred cats must be selected for breeding with purebred cats of the same species, so that the offspring will have pure bloodlines. It is not recommended to mate Somali cats with large size differences, as this can easily lead to dystocia during childbirth.

3. Preliminary preparation: Supplement the mating cat’s nutrition and produce high-quality semen, so that the baby will be healthy. Female cats should have their nails clipped to avoid scratching male cats.

4. Venue selection: You should choose a quiet place with less interference.

5. Assistance: Inexperienced female cats are resistant to male cats climbing over. At this time, parents need to help keep the female cat safe and hold the female cat’s forelimbs and neck to prevent it from turning back and biting. Or catch a male cat and help him mate.

Indications of successful breeding of Somali cats:

If the breeding is successful, the male cat will accurately hold the female cat’s neck and lie on her body Mating usually takes 1 to 10 minutes to complete. After mating, female cats will make loud noises and turn around to attack male cats. After the male cat got out of the way, the female cat kept rolling and licking her vagina. Cats may experience mild vomiting, decreased appetite, and increased sleeping time in the early stages of pregnancy. As the pregnancy progresses, cats will have increased appetite, red and swollen nipples, and distended abdomen.

If breeding fails, the cat will go into heat again about ten days after breeding.
