I am a licensed breeder of Maine Coons in Japan. I am trying to get Chibi pregnant by a stud cat, but apparently induced lactation after her sister gave birth has messed up her hormones. I repeat: I am a licensed breeder whose goals are to breed healthy, affectionate cats, but more than that, to find them good homes. It's taken time, but all but one of my first litter of seven have found very nice parents. (By the way, being a breeder does not bring in the dough. You generally lose money in the process.) My first cats were domestic short hairs who were the result of an absolute oops litter--Momcat escaped the night before she was to be spayed (through the bathroom window) and came back the next day with a smile on her face and three kittens in her belly. Yes, there are so many cats in shelters....but cats raised at home have their merits as well. However, to be frank, I'm not sure that you're being a responsible breeder. Please, desex your cats.

Spay your cats and then you won't have to worry about any of this. Why on earth would you keep an un-neutered male with access to unspayed females? Are you not aware of the thousands of unwanted kittens born each year and dying in shelters?

My cat Fluffy was calling but my other male cat didn't really mind her. Is it heat or was it fake heat? Or something?? Answers at Dogster Answers.
