Show Notes
Resource Mentioned in this Episode : Feline Husbandry by Niels Pedersen – this is an excellent reference guide that also includes great detail in regards to cattery design.
If you’re just starting out, you’ll most likely have 3 or 4 breeding cats in your tribe. Ideally, one male and three to four females is an ideal ratio, depending on the breed. This isn’t the only way to get started as a breeder, but something to keep in mind when you’re ready to start buying cats.
You can read more about this in the Course topic “How Many Cats Do You Need”. The course (Complete Guide to Breeding Pedigree Cats) is just one benefit of the Sensei Collective Membership. There are tons of other reasons to become a member.
Whether you’re using your personal home as a cattery space or implementing a separate cattery idea, the designated spaces will remain the same. You’ll be surprised at how creative you can get when it comes to utilizing your personal space.
Always Keep The Cats In Mind When Designing Your Cattery
The goal is always to maintain a healthy and stress-free environment for your cats. The cattery design plays a major role in that.
Study the behavior of cats and how they interact in a multi-cat environment. Listen to this episode where we discuss if intact male cats can share a space. The Feline Husbandry guide that is available in the shoe notes is a wonderful place to learn about multi-cat environment behavior and the effects it has. It can get tricky at times.
Depending on the personality of your Queens and Sire, you may need even more additional space than what’s mentioned in this podcast episode. Space is the biggest asset when you’re breeding Pedigree cats!
