Hi I'm new to this site. I was wondering if there is any chance that my tabby (Persian Burmese mix) may be paired with a Persian? She is currently still young (4 months +) but I'm sure that she'll go into heat in a few months time....

Hi Jacky

Before deciding to get into breeding, you should read up on genetics. It's always important to breed for health and temperament, not only for colour/type. The best way is to read up as much as possible about the breed that you're interested in.

Breeding a persian/burmese back to a persian is considered cross breeding. In simple terms, it means you are breeding two different breeds together. Also known as mixed breed. Now there are a few types of breeding methods:

Line Breeding
Inbreeding
Common Ancestor
Outcross
Cross Breeding
Hybrids and Carriers

Here's a link that will prove to be useful for you if you wish to know more. I wish you the best!

You could very well end up with babies that look like Ragdolls (a hybrid breed) but it's hard to determine due to the fact that I don't know the history of your persian/burmese cat. The Ragdolls were created by crossbreeding Persians, Burmese and Birman cats with random-bred domestics. They're very pretty.

So genetics isn't all boring and I always love talking about this subject with people Keep us updated with your litter in the near future~~

Hi Missa! Thanks for the link. I never knew breeding cats has such detailed analysis to it! It was most helpful. Thanks again!!

BTW, how do I find a male cat to breed with my cat in the Klang Valley area? How much will it cost me? What are the procedures? Appreciate if any of u guys could enlighten me..... thanks a bunch.....

hi guys,

my tom cat Simba is already 5 months old and im afraid in another 2-3 months he might want to find a female cat... at first i thought i want to neuter him but my bf told me to let him have 'one' first then only neuter him... at least give him a chance... where can i find the female cat to breed?

Hi Countess,
well, we hv a section here for breeding n perhaps u could on n off see whether there is another forumer has a female cat to mate. but shud u fail to find a suitable female cat for Simba, i wud suggest u dun wait any longer n neuter Simba.
