Re: Getting bro and sis kittens, will they mate before neutering?

mine says 6 months - but thats due to a weight min, which one of my girls reached early ( chunky frame)and they were happy to do the op then

it was weight for anasthetic, 6 months being a guide for the weight

if NFCs are big, they will reach it early - ask the vet.

Hopefully. Although I am not sure if Norwegian forest cats are that big to start with or if its more that they continue to grow longer than most breeds. Apparantly they are not fully grown untill about 4 years old. I think though that the male should certainly be 2kg by the time he is 5 months. The girl could take forever.

As cats are usually seasonal breeders, sometimes the summer months do end up far busier with kittens, but conversly most breeders will probably have quite a few kitten free months in the winter/early spring. In addition as pedigrees are kept by the breeder till 13 weeeks old, some overlap ( if they have more than a couple of queens) is somewhat inevitable.

thanks for that I am only used to doggy breeding (would be very frowned upon!) so that does make sense

Sorry for hijacking the post.

I hope you enjoy your new babies and will want to see pictures when you bring them home

The breeders update their site with new pics every week. Here are some of the latest that I posted in the photo gallery section

My Norwegian forest kittens. Get them in about 4 weeks.
