You will hear so many stories of terrible things that have happened to people and their cats and kittens when people have come to their house to see them if you breed for long enough. I think a lot of embellishment goes on in the cat show hall where stories get shared but there genuinely is a need to feel safe when you have new owners coming to see you. In this episode I talk about what you can do to feel better when the time comes.

🌟Changing Cat Associations!!🌟 A hot topic that I think will get people talking. I have done it a few times and as a registrar I have helped other people do it. There is a lot to consider. Have a listen as I talk about why we join where we join, why we want to move, how to do it but also how to avoid having to do it. I am really hoping this one will get some discussions going so feel free to comment here on Youtube in the comments section or on my Facebook page or on Instagram.

We judge cats by Phenotype and not by Genotype. What does that even mean. I know if you go to enough shows you will hear these words. Let me explain them in a super basic way for you. It's all about what's inside vs what's outside. CAT BREEDING FOR BEGINNERS PODCAST - EPISODE 10 Hi, I'm Pamela and I breed British Shorthair cats in Perth, Western Australia.

This is such a confusing topic, cat coat colours! It's a whole course in itself but let's look at the very most basic thing you need to know about cat colour genetics, the basics. This one might be one you need to listen to a few times to really get it! Being able to understand what your cats are and what they can give you makes it easier to achieve your breeding goals especially at the start. I hope it helps you understand your cats better.

Breeding cats is all about timing. You need to wait for certain things to line up at the right time in order to have a successful mating and then a successful litter. One if those things is your girl coming into season. She needs to be calling to be mated. It's frustrating when you are ready but she isn't. So what can you do? Have a listen to this episode of the podcast to find out!
There are too many cats in the world. It's a fact. There are more cats than there are homes wanting to adopt cats. In this podcast I chat about rescue work and how this is not in line with cat breeding but how it comes up as something in our hobby. I look at how we can work together and how you can help without putting your own cats at risk.
Stud Cats. I get asked more questions about them than anything else. In this episode of the Cat Breeding for Beginners Podcast I talk about desexing and retiring stud cats. I share a few of my personal experiences plus I discuss some of the things that are important to me about how we value and treat our cats once they have finished making their contribution to our breeding hobby. Please note I do say that I prepared my big boy Teddy to be rehomed. I did mean to say retired. He was never going anywhere. He was always a forever boy for me :).
In this episode of the Cat Breeding for Beginners Podcast I talk about "Neonatal Isoerythrolysis" or what I call Blood Type Incompatibility in cats. This is really important in some breeds and something not all new breeders know about. It can be devastating to lose kittens and not understand why. It's even worse when in could have been prevented. Learn what it is, how to work out who can go with who and what to do if you do have incompatible breeding cats.
** Please note, I realised that I mentioned the blood types you can get from a blood type incompatible mating. That if dad is Ab then some kittens can be A blood type. This is correct but I think I said they could be AA. Mum is bb so no kittens can be AA. They can only be Ab or bb. It's confusing right!!
In this podcast I talk about how girls behave when they are in season or "calling", what you can do about it and how I have dealt with it over the years. I share what a calling girl sounds like and talk about why they scream and call out like they do. The podcast I mention is no longer available online. I will update this page should it be made available again.
