Answer 1

Happens with dogs all the time. It is called a limited registration in dogs. I seel ALL pet puppies on this registration since I do NOT want the pets OR anyother of my puppies bred until I am sure the should be part of a breeding program.
The pet puppies sold on limited registration are sold for the same price as the full registered, co-owned ones.
That is the price you pay for a purebreed fo good breeding. You are paying for all the work that has gone into the breeding program up until then.....not to get a pet to make your money back on.
Usually this is all stipulated in the contract at the time of sale.

Answer 2

There is probably a good reason why some cats, even purebred cats, wouldn't be bred.

Some cats are born with the wrong proportions, and it would spoil the appearance of the breed. Sometimes a breeder realizes a whole family of cats is carrying a genetic problem.

Some breeds too generations to get right and/or are very rare. They don't want just anyone making more of the cat without knowing what they're doing. If a person is serious about breeding a good pure breed of dog or cat, the best thing to do is go to shows. Find a breeder to mentor you. Become educated so you know how to pick a good mate for this cat... you can't just stick her with a male of the same breed and get wonderful results.

A breeder has this right, and you should've read the contract before agreeing to the cat.

And honestly the world doesn't need any more cats no matter what they look like. My shelter has to kill dozens of them each week because there aren't enough homes.

Answer 3

if the cat has papers and is a full breed you might be able to register him with a cat fanciers association of some sort,and then maybe you can have the rights to breed your cat.

However, how do you know that you don't have rights to breed your cat? Did you sign a contract? If so, you probably should have looked for another breeder who would sell their kittens with the appropriate papers for breeding.

On the other hand, the breeder I got my siamese from did not technically have the "rights" to breed her cats, however she bred them anyway (not really illegal - millions of kittens are born every day). Only thing, the kittens the breeding produces will not have registered lineage. Might be harder to sell the kittens for a high price, but hey, people are doing it.

Answer 4

Hi there...you need to contact your Egyptian Mau's breeder and ask them about this. Your litter registration registration slip indicate whether you can or cannot breed and register the kittens. Some breeders will allow you to purchase for an additional amount the breeding rights, but that's up to the individual breeder and they'll need to update the litter registration form for your cat.

Answer 5

Dont breed! there are millions of homeless cats out there let the people get them not yours! just go to an animal shelter if you want a cat but you dont deserve one anyway.

Answer 6

That's what you get for not thoroughly reading the papers you signed. The only way to get out of it, could be if you were not an adult or were drunk or mentally ill. But even then a lawyer would cost you a lot more than a Thou.
Live and learn.

Answer 7

If you are the cat's owner, what's stopping you from breeding it if you want to?

Answer 8
