My stand here is that those who wish to breed their pets - keep to the pedigree ones, especially for cats, as strays are abundant and adoption is free so don't add to the problem.

If you have a pure breed cat and wish to breed, choose to breed it to another of same breed, persian to persian... not persian to ragdoll.

I am not against breeding and no one here should try to criticize anyone for breeding as well. I would like to keep this section here a friendly non-bitchy non-shooting section, and I will not hesitate to edit bitchy/ shooting remarks out immediately.

I agree with Clover that when breeding it would be ideal to improve the breed.

However, those who wish to breed - please know certain facts - there is always a risk that your Queen (cat) will face complications during pregnancy, birth or after birth. Are you ready to take that risk, and also the financial responsibilities that comes with it. Not all cats have natural birth, some requires caesarian section... so money making might turn into otherwise - a rescue mission instead. Persians and American Shorthairs as well as cats with larger heads tend to require caesarian.

If you understand these risks and then by all means go for it. However, make sure you have extra time to spend with your pregnant kitty, when she is about to give birth so that you are at hand to assist if necessary. If she rejects kittens, you have to take up nursing...

So if you are having second thoughts after all these, then maybe you want to rethink? If not, then hope to see some cute kitten pics here in future!
