I have a question...

I am getting started raising Siamese cats.
I had my first litter in August.
Anyway, I am trying to get my Lynx Point girl pregnant. She had one baby the first of October that was stillborn. Vet okayed her to breed on her kitten heat, but I missed it, so I put her in with my stud the next time. This would have been the beginning of November. But I don't think they mated. So I put her in with him the 2nd of December, on her next heat and they mated twice, but this morning she is back in heat again.
So I can't figure out why she won't take. They only mated twice, and I took her out, I was trying to keep her from having a huge litter. Was that my mistake? Should I have kept her in with Dilly longer?

Some cats just don't get pregnant. IMO you've tried several times. If the male has sired kittens before, then he should be ok. But he could also have a low sperm count and that is why she only had one kitten. Normal Siamese have more then one.

So if she doesn't get pregnant after a few times mating, then its probably best to spay her. She could have something genetically wrong or something interally wrong where she is not able to really get pregnant.

My mentors tried a few times letting them mate only 1-2 times and ended up with large numbers both times. So gave that up and keeps them for the normal 3 days, and has various litter sizes.

Yeah, the litter size connection with how many times they mates isnt no way 100%. But the connection having a litter and mated more than once or twice - is rather big.

So if you do want to have a litter - let them mate several times... Besides, it is the first time as is usually the most difficult. So dont take the pleasure form them.


See also she has a plenty of vitamine E. It is often good for example for females who have difficulty to get into heat.

Might be a 'sign from above', spay & neuter them and get properly registered cats

My first girl had 7, so I think Dilly is okay there.
I wondered if maybe I should of left them together longer.
How should I add vitamin E?

So if she still does not take if you try again, what are you planning on doing? The longer she keeps going in and out of heat cycles the higher the risk for developing pyometra.

Seems like a lot of "breeding" in a short amount of time (weeks) and she's not taking. Will you spay her if this time it does not take?

Yes, because, like you said its alot of breeding in a short time, and I am getting worried about her getting sick.
