Hi, I have been breeding Persians for 3 years and have 2 females and 1 male. This past year I got a new female kitten for breeding. At first my male was just fine around her but then when she was about 8 months old he started beating her up. At first I thought maybe she went into heat and was trying to get her but now I am not sure. I have kept them separated but if he knows exactly where she is and if he gets in the room she is in he will just start beating her up. I feel so bad for her and don't know what to do. Someone told me that once she goes into a heat cycle it will be better but I am beginning to wonder if I should even keep her. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. I do have two other females that he has never had a problem with. Thanks
