Stud Cats. I get asked more questions about them than anything else. In this episode of the Cat Breeding for Beginners Podcast I talk about desexing and retiring stud cats. I share a few of my personal experiences plus I discuss some of the things that are important to me about how we value and treat our cats once they have finished making their contribution to our breeding hobby. Please note I do say that I prepared my big boy Teddy to be rehomed. I did mean to say retired. He was never going anywhere. He was always a forever boy for me :).

In this episode of the Cat Breeding for Beginners Podcast I talk about "Neonatal Isoerythrolysis" or what I call Blood Type Incompatibility in cats. This is really important in some breeds and something not all new breeders know about. It can be devastating to lose kittens and not understand why. It's even worse when in could have been prevented. Learn what it is, how to work out who can go with who and what to do if you do have incompatible breeding cats.

** Please note, I realised that I mentioned the blood types you can get from a blood type incompatible mating. That if dad is Ab then some kittens can be A blood type. This is correct but I think I said they could be AA. Mum is bb so no kittens can be AA. They can only be Ab or bb. It's confusing right!!

In this podcast I talk about how girls behave when they are in season or "calling", what you can do about it and how I have dealt with it over the years. I share what a calling girl sounds like and talk about why they scream and call out like they do. The podcast I mention is no longer available online. I will update this page should it be made available again.
