Re: spraying stud cat
This guy is absolutely georgeous and I would like so much to have him as a couch potato. He is huge and beautiful. I am in hopes that the new boy I am getting is like his dad and will not spray. At least he will not be related to my queens. I kept two young daughters from my currant stud so must have a different boy. I let him out tonite for a run around the house and he came up missing. I found him in the nursery with his two mates and their 4 week and 7 week old kittens. He was sitting there with a satisfied smirk on his face. I wonder if all studs are good with kittens

Re: spraying stud cat
I've certainly had three that were excellent even with tiny kittens. The others I never found out because I didn't want to take the risk.
That said, my girl who had the kittens two days ago wanted to have them in the stud pen - followed me out there, pushed her way in, ate all his food (she does that at every opportunity so nothing new) and then got into his igloo and looked like she was settling down ready to have them right there. I drew the line at that! Liz |

Re: spraying stud cat
That reminds me of Mischa, she was ready to have her first litter and I was sitting with her. She hopped up on the trunk beside me, put one little paw on my shoulder and leaned down and looked up at me....looking me right in the eyes, while the little paw stayed on my shoulder. It was too cute...you should have seen the look. I bathed the lower half of one of my 7 week old babies today as he has poopises all over his bum. The dad jumped up in the sink to see what I was doing. I held his baby out to him and he started licking the little guys face and head. He simply loves his babies.
I attached a pic of Mischa enjoying herself in my tree her first Christmas. (A little computer trick put the hat on her head) She was in the tree alright but she would not wear a hat. That is the little face turned up to me when she was in labor...priceless |

Re: spraying stud cat
How do breeders deal with spraying studs, then? Do they just put up with a smelly home? Do they cage the males? I've heard caging a cat is a cruel thing to do. I'm interested in getting into cat breeding, but I'm not too crazy about the idea of a cat stinking up my apartment. Again, how do breeders deal with spraying studs? I've read about putting diapers on cats, but I've heard they'll defecate in them. I take it you run the risk of having their feces fall out of the diapers, and that couldn't be too healthy for the cat or you. It would also very likely cause skin infections.

Re: spraying stud cat
If you live in an apartment then probably your best option is just to keep queens and take them out to stud. However I would add that quite a number of queens will "mark" too, especially when calling, and particularly on soft furnishings!!

...of course its cruel, i dont even think keeping them in a pen for the majority of their lives is very humane either....i'd never buy kittens from either of these types of breeders...Never!!and are you serious about putting the cat in nappies jeezus that is just downright ridiculous![]()

Re: spraying stud cat
I simply feel so sad for this poor cat living out his life in a bathroom (the fact that it is a bathroom next to a kitchen doesn't mean a lot). It's no life for a cat, sitting in their all day, mostly alone and having to wet and dirty in a pair of kitty pants
![]() This poor boy seems to serve no purpose other than to periodically impregnate your queens, what an existance for any animal. The poor cat must be slowly going crazy in that bathroom, my heart breaks for him ![]() Please give some real thought to his welfare and if you can't provide him with the life he needs and deserves, do the right thing, neuter him and try and find him a good home. |
