Is it ok to breed a mother cat with her offspring?

The ONLY time I've EVER heard of this being allowed, was in the development of a new breed, which was followed up by extensive selective breeding process to reduce genetic problems, thereby strengthening and diversifying the "stock" and reducing mutations or health issues. The Ragdoll is one such breed, as its a rather new one. But with Siamese, there is simply no excuse. My breeder has special rooms in her house where she puts her cats in heat so there is no mixup with related cats, even if they're only cousins, or uncle/niece, etc etc.

i truly think that ideal is very wrong because the offspring will turn out to be developed wrong or come out wrong. It may cause problems to give birth. Besides who would like to breed their son with their own mother. that is just pure wrong. Cats don't know whats wrong or rite. i suggest that you just not breed the mother cat with the offspring because it will look very wrong like not have a tail or something like that.

hi I even have spoken to a chum who's a registered cat breeder. Mating with offspring isn't counseled because of the fact any genetic problems (which would be dormant interior of a breed) may be greater beneficial. even although, there are no longer at risk of be any problems with a familiar era clutter. curiously, we've a girl who got here into season presently and her son strengthen into desperately attempting to mate her. She does no longer enable him everywhere close to her yet strengthen into somewhat happy to oblige the moggy around the corner!! wish this resolves the priority - if no longer you could desire to call it a tie and get a takeaway !!

It is not ok to breed mother cats wit their offspring but it is usual to have cats look like others especially their parents hopefully this answers your question

NO! Your friend is wrong if she's telling you its ok, its not! Years ago my female had a litter and 11 months after that, her son mated with her, i didn't even know she was in season so didn't seprate them and her first born was hideously disfigured - it was sad because she was a little chocolate brown, long haired little thing but her features were awful! Thankfully she didn't live longer than a few minutes but it was sad for her mum, and me because i felt so guilty although it couldn't have been helped. Please don't allow it to happen, its not nice and can affect the mum emotionally.

I would not risk having a horrible recessive gene rear its ugly head. I have had a lot of cats but never had one that willingly bred back to her son. There usually was a big fight and he got hurt.

Is it ok do "breed" with your son? Clearly no, its not. you shouldn't do that anyways because that offspring will most likely come out with some kind of problem. And anyway that's disgusting.

just don't breed your cats. spay your females and neuter your males. there are too many kittens and cats that get euthenized in shelters because there just not enough homes for the kittens and cats we already have in the world.

A mother wouldn't breed with her own offspring because she knows that she gave birth to them. She knows what they smell like, what they look like, how they act. That's just gross.

This is dangerous because it has the potential to magnify genetic defects (make inherited problems more prevalent). It is done by certain purebred breeders in many species but I would advise against it.
