Male cats can be mated if they are not in heat. When the cat matures, if the owner wants to breed the cat, he can breed the cat while ensuring the health of both cats. It does not necessarily mean breeding the cat during the estrus period. But generally speaking, breeding is more difficult when a male cat is not in estrus, and it requires the help of the owner to complete it. It is recommended that cat owners breed their cats when their cats are in estrus to reduce the difficulty of breeding.

Notes on breeding cats:

1. It is recommended to start breeding when the cat is in heat for the second time, and not when the cat is in heat for the first time. Breed cats to prevent them from having dystocia.

2. When breeding cats for the first time, pay attention to choosing healthy members of the opposite sex with similar personalities. Let them live for a period of time to get familiar with each other, relax, and get in touch with each other, and then let the male cat approach the female cat for mating.

3. The nails of male and female cats should be cut before breeding to prevent scratching each other.

4. Pay attention to supplementing nutrients for cats before breeding, which can improve the quality and efficiency of breeding.

5. The size of the two cats to be bred should not be too different. Cats with similar sizes are more likely to be bred successfully.
