The breeding time for female cats is about one year old. It is best to breed the female cat after the first estrus is over, that is, the second estrus. In this way, the female cat's estrus becomes more severe and she is more likely to accept the male cat. At this time, the female cat's physical development will be fully mature, and the kittens will be healthy.

Notes on cat mating:

1. When mating purebred cats, you must choose purebred cats of the same species, so that the offspring will have pure bloodlines. It is not recommended to mate cats with large size differences, as this can easily lead to dystocia.

2. Inexperienced female cats are resistant to male cats climbing over. At this time, parents need to help secure the female cat and hold the female cat’s forelimbs and neck to prevent it from turning around and biting or scratching. Male cats, help male cats mate.

3. Before going on a blind date, check for parasites, fleas or ear lice. In case of poor health, it is best to postpone the date.

4. Under the premise of health, it is not suitable to choose a partner for inbreeding.

5. There is a close relationship between age and fecundity. When mating, the fecundity of male cats should be higher than or close to that of female cats, and never lower than that of female cats. When male and female cats of different ages match, their litter rates and pregnancy rates are different.
