The beautiful spring is here, but at night you often hear cats meowing frequently, which is commonly known as "crying in spring". This indicates that the cat's estrus period has arrived. Cats usually go into estrus in spring to mate and breed offspring, which requires parents to find partners for their cats. So, how can cat parents find a suitable partner for their cats?

If it is a purebred cat, you can find a reputable cattery that borrows breeds from outside for mating, but you need to pay a certain fee. In addition, it is also a good idea to borrow a cat from a friend or acquaintance, but you must pay attention to the purity of the bloodline and understand the bloodline of your friend’s cat. Currently, it is not recommended to search online because the quality of the breeding males on the website is uneven, making it difficult for non-professionals to distinguish. In addition, the possibility of unscrupulous cat dealers profiting from them cannot be ruled out.

How to find a suitable partner for your cat?

First of all, both parties must be healthy, clean, have bright eyes, smooth fur, strong muscles, and mature and normal reproductive organs. Such cats represent strong, good genes, and are easy to win the favor of the other party.

Secondly, the size difference between the two parties should not be too large. The male cat should be slightly larger than the female cat. This can prevent the female cat from giving birth to an oversized fetus.

Third, the breeds of both parties should be of the same species or breeds that allow mating to prevent cross-breeding, and inbreeding should be avoided.

Fourth, if you are choosing a purebred cat, since the kitten’s appearance is mainly inherited from the father’s side, the choice of male cat is particularly important. When choosing a male cat, you should choose a cat registered with CFA (International Cat Lovers Federation) or CAA (China Cat Lovers Federation) to ensure the purity of the bloodline. In addition, it should be noted that cats with the same shortcomings are strictly prohibited from mating. If the selected male and female have the same shortcomings, the shortcomings will be passed on to the next generation. Finally, because cats have relatively independent personalities, cats are prone to fights when they meet for the first time, so it is best to isolate or semi-isolate the two parties first and not meet directly to avoid conflicts. You can let the cats see each other through the sand door or the window first. It will take a few days for the cats to get familiar with each other. After becoming familiar with each other, they will gradually get close. In addition, the attitude of the owner is also very important. At this time, the owner must not show a preference for one party, and must treat the cat fairly to avoid an unbalanced mentality in the cat.
