Cat color question

Hello,
its been awhile since i've been on here. I have a flame point female himlayan (doll face), her mother was seal tortie (flat face)and her father was unknown. She was bred in January with a blue point himalayan (flat face) , father seal point (flat face) and mother blue cream(flat face). you had told me the color her kittens could be and you were very correct! she had 4 flame points , one seal tortie, and one seal tortie lynx point. all doll faced kittens

My question is, after having her vet checked we had the go ahead on her next litter. This time she was bred with a blue lynx point himalayan (doll face) his mother was also blue lynx (doll face) and his father was flame point (flat faced) could you please tell me the color these kittens might turn out like ? thank you

Hi again 

I have been reading your threads since February and am glad to see you and your cat are still doing well.  However, I have to be honest and tell you that there are many things about your situation that concern me.  I really hope you will hear me out and know that I definitely do not intend to attack you, but truly am concerned about your cat and her long term health and happiness.

It seems from reading your posts that you think it is okay to breed your cat because you believe she is a purebred Himalayan. Why do you think she is a purebred? Do you have papers certifying this? I am very confused about this whole situation because you have said you don't know who her father was.  a cat looking like a Himalayan is not an indication that she actually is one.  Papers are the only sure indication of this. Does your cat have the necessary papers? (In this context, papers means registration papers issued by a cat registry.)

Even if the answer to this is yes, are you yourself a registered breeder? If not, even if your cat has papers, you should not be breeding her. it is dangerous and unsafe for her.

I suspect you are not a registered breeder because you have done many things that most reputable licensed breeders would not do.  You have already bred a cat that gave birth 3 months ago.  Regardless of whether a vet gave the okay, no reputable licensed breeder that I have known or heard of would do this. Ethical breeders only breed their queen once per year.  Breeding more frequently is not healthy for the cat. 

I am very concerned by the fact that you do not seem to have a real life mentor to talk through many of your questions with, and with the total lack of experience you seem to have with pregnant cats on top of this. All reputable registered breeders that I know of had a mentor when they were starting out.  This is because, to even get a cat with papers to breed, you need to know someone willing to sell one to you.  Generally this becomes your mentor. Ethical breeders don't sell queens to just anyone.  They sell them to people they trust, who they know love the breed, who they know have experience with the breed, and who they know have already done the necessary research into what breeding entails.   

Breeders also have at least a basic understanding coat color genetics and will consider this before breeding a cat, not after.

I really hope that you will give some thought to spaying your cat.  I know you think you are a purebred breeder, but there is a lot more to being a purebred breeder than just breeding a cat that looks like (or even that is) a Himalayan. Not breeding ethically makes you into a backyard breeder, harsh as it may sound. I hope you will take some time to read the following articles that I have linked below.  Some of them describe the steps it takes to become an ethical registered breeder.  Others discuss the enormous benefits of spaying your cat. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.  Again, best to you and your cat.
