If you actually have to ask this question, there's no way you should even be thinking about breeding. Additionally, your female is too young to safely carry kittens, the stress and physical consequences of which could result in her death. The "let her have one litter" myth is just that - a myth. It is NOT beneficial to the cat to carry a litter of kittens before being spayed, and people who fall for this old wife's tale are responsible for a huge proportion of unwanted animals, because when they allow their cat to get pregnant and carry her kittens to term, they usually don't have a placement for them. If you are interested in adding younger cats to your household, please investigate shelter kittens instead that can benefit from a loving indoor home and are already unwanted - they could use the second chance at life, particularly if they are in a kill shelter. Bottom line: be a responsible pet owner and get both animals fixed.

Your male cat may not be ready to mate, or as i should say has not become a man yet...Also, cats that live together sometimes wont mate. I'm not sure why but from experience from myself and friends, your cat is more likely to get pregnant to an outsider..

From a breeders perspective, the two year old female is certainly old enough to carry. However, please for the love of all animals everywhere; do not breed cats that are not registered to a cat association such as TICA, CFA, CCA WCF, etc. etc. Breeding registered animals is fine if you have a breeder who is willing to teach you proper ethics and morals but if you are Backyard breeding then this is a huge issue. If you are interested in breeding I suggest finding a mentor in the breed you like and study your butt off on that breed and meet with vets, find a vet who will agree to spay/neuter prior to placement so that you can assure they will not be bred again. There are ethical breeders who breed for the love of that particular breed of cat. If your breeding because "oh how adorable" or "just one litter" myth then please please don't. - not to be morality policing but educating those who actually enjoy the breeding and ethics behind it.

No replies from the morality police?
I suppose we should at least be grateful that you admit what you are doing is immoral.
Why not actually LEARN what to do from an experienced and responsible cat breeder? Or are you just determined to produce yet more strays to be destroyed?

Yes, you can get them spayed and nuetered since more then 40% of the kittens born will live a horrible life if they live at all. Do you know how many kittens are in shelters? Do you know how many will get thrown out of their homes once they hit 2 years old?
Sorry. lives are more omportant then you getting the answers you want to hear

He might not be old enough yet. Just leave them to it, it's probably better for him to be a bit maturer anyway x

Maybe he's not ready yet. Maybe he doesn't fancy her. Maybe he has a problem. Maybe a vet can advise?
