Problem breeding two siamese cats?

I have two lilac-point siamese cats. I decided that i'd like to breed them to bring in some extra income. Problem is, it looks like the male siamese just doesn't know how to 'get it on'. I know this probably sounds funny, but it's true. The female is slightly larger that he is, but based on the research i've done, it should be a problem. Our female has gone into 5 or 6 heat cycles with no success. He can get the process started but can never finish the job. Any suggestions from breeders out there?

yeah maybe thay dont want to
Reply:If you make money from breeding, you're doing it wrong. If you do it right, you lose money. If something goes wrong and you need an emergency cesarian, you lose a lot of money. So please forget all about breeding cats to bring in extra income. Cats are not money making machines.





Secondly, if the cats are not breeding quality cats that were sold to you with breeding rights and all the necessary paperwork, and if you don't have experience with showing Siamese cats, then please forget it. Breeding cats isn't about simply putting a male and female together. Both cats need to be excellent examples of the breed and should have gained titles in the show ring to prove this, before you consider showing them.





There are far too many homeless cats in the world to breed them for these kind of reasons. I'm not against responsible breeding of pedigree cats as I'd hate to see some breeds become extinct, but unless you are knowledgeable about your chosen breed and committed to improving the breed, all you are doing is adding more kittens to a world where cats are put to sleep daily because they can't find a home.





Please don't do it. Get them both neutered asap. Every heat cycle that your female goes through is increasing her risk of pyometra and mammary cancer.
Reply:I have been breeding Persians for over 6 years and I promise you that there is no money in cat breeding. After vet bills, food, litter, registration, and advertising you end up way in the hole. Hoping to improve your chosen breed should be your motivation, not money.





Male purebred cats tend to sexually mature much slower than females and it often takes them a few times to figure it out. I would be more concerned that your queen has cycled a lot of times without being bred. That puts her at high risk for a life threatening uterine infection called pyometria, which is caused when cats cycle repeatedly without being bred. It also increases the odds of her being infertile. I would suggest that you contact the breeder that you bought the cats from and seek her advice.
Reply:maybe this is natures way of telling you there are too many kittens in the world now, please dont add to the over population
Reply:I am not a breeder, but I did have a male Siamese who was once approached by a female, and he very politely declined, despite the fact that she was very pretty.





Animals do have personalities of their own ~ to say the least, isn't it so? ~ and often refuse to comply with human wishes.





I think you should find another male. Maybe he would be more interested.
