Notes on Blue Cat and Cat:

1. Selection of the breeding partner: Purebred blue cats must be bred with purebred blue cats of the same species, so that the offspring will have pure bloodlines. Blue cats with large body differences are not recommended to mate, which can easily lead to dystocia during childbirth.

2. Preparation before mating: Ensure the nutrition of the male cat so that it can produce high-quality semen and the baby will be healthy. The female cat should cut her nails to avoid scratching the male cat.

3. Environment: Choose a quiet place for the blue cat. If it is too noisy, the blue cat will experience mood swings and feel insecure during mating.

4. Food: Feed the cats well for a short period of two weeks before mating, and feed high-protein food to both male and female cats, so that male cats can improve the quality of sperm and have sufficient physical strength. Female cats can produce more eggs and energy, ensuring that they will not lose weight when they become pregnant in the future.

5. Close the distance between male and female cats: If the male and female cats have never met each other, let them get familiar with each other before mating. They can be kept in cages separated by each other for 3 to 5 days.
