The Story of My Blue British Shorthair and the Difficulties in Cat Breeding

Perhaps it’s because there are so many people raising blue British Shorthairs currently, and they are also being bred in large numbers. Many people give them away for free to their friends, which naturally leads to a drop in the market price. When my cat Kele gave birth to her second litter of five kittens, I gave them all away for free to my friends.

I only spent 1500 yuan when I bought Kele. But if she had been more expensive, I probably wouldn’t have bought her. After all, I’m not rich. Kele has a particularly gentle personality and is very smart. I don’t have to worry about her biting or scratching people. Even if a stranger she’s not familiar with holds her, as long as I’m around, she’ll be very obedient. I think it’s probably because blue British Shorthairs are so gentle that many people choose to raise them.

Also, generally, when a blue British Shorthair goes to a pet store for breeding, it doesn’t cost money. Just leave one or two kittens for the store owner. I asked the pet store downstairs about this. I had always heard from my friends that breeding costs money. Once, when I took my kittens to take a bath, I asked casually. The pet store owner took a fancy to Kele at that time. I just asked casually, and he said no money was needed. Blue British Shorthairs sell well in the store, and people are willing to buy them at a price of 1000 – 1500 yuan. So they don’t charge for breeding. Unless you need a cat with a certificate.

By the way, let me complain about the process of finding a boyfriend for my cat Cookie. Many male cats are neutered when they are six months old. Her first boyfriend peed everywhere, and the owner didn’t have a quilt to cover for a week because it peed on the bed every day. The owner couldn’t stand it anymore and neutered it regardless of the fact that it had a girlfriend it hadn’t even met yet. I asked around one after another, and most male cats are taken to be sterilized at six months old. It’s said that it’s better for cats that haven’t mated to be sterilized. This makes it very difficult for female cats to find a suitable male cat for breeding. But I still want to leave offspring for Cookie. It was not until she was over one year old that I finally found a suitable little male cat, and it was a blue – and – white one. I reluctantly accepted it. I sent her to breed in mid – February, and I don’t know if it was successful. If not, this little male cat will also be neutered soon… I’ll have to find another one for her. It’s really too difficult…

I hope she can be successfully bred.
