Cross Breeds

I am wanting to breed Bengal cats but have a question about the male spraying?

I have a 6 month old male bengal cat and just put a deposit on a female. With a female arond that is unfixed also will the male still spray everywhere?

1. Yes, why would the male stop spraying? They spray to mark their territory so he'll probably spray more with another cat around.
2. An unneutered male cat will spray whether there is an unspayed female around or not. They do it to mark territory and to leave a "I was here!" message for other male cats. I suggest that you do not try breeding cats until you are able to answer such basic questions as this one on your own. You really don't seem to know enough about cats, in general, to try breeding them.
3. No reputable breeder will sell you an unspayed and unneutered cat like this. The male will still spray everywhere - that is what unneutered males do. And how do you propose keeping them apart? You'll have a female in heat, way to young to breed - your male is going to go absolutely crazy with spraying, and all I can say is that your entire house is going to reek. There is no way to stop the spraying, which is why real breeders have special 'stud rooms' for their male cats.
4. I have to agree with Bob N. Did the breeders who you are getting the kitten from give you breeding rights to the cat. Breeders usually don't give breeding rights to anyone who they don't know. Did you get breeding rights with the male. What does your registration papers say. If you breed them without breeding rights you can not register the litter with the cat registry and then they will be considered Domestic short hair cats. People who buy purebred cats what that registration paper as proof they are purebred cats. Have you done you homework and know what is involved in breeding and willing to put out the money for testing and health checkups and do the same for the kittens? Do you have lots of $$$ put away just in case something happens and you need to get to the vet during the birth of the kittens or because the kittens have watery eyes, or runny noses. There is a lot that can happen do you know what to do if a kitten is stuck breach and can't be delivered? What to do with a still born kitten? Any idea about fading kittens? Getting them vaccinated, vet checked before they leave your home. I could go on and on. I hope you have all the information on breeding these cats you need. R P CAT
5. Yes - and unless these are top quality show cats, they should NOT be bred at all. Most legit breeders will never sell a person a breeding cat (especially a male) to just anyone. He will have to be caged as he will get aggressive and he will spray.
6. YES it will spray. But what breeder is selling YOU - a complete novice - unaltered Bengal kittens? I'm betting these AREN'T really Bengals. Breeders are VERY protective of their lines and don't just hand over unaltered cats to anyone. ESPECIALLY a hybrid breed like the Bengal. Leave the breeding to the EXPERTS doing so for the RIGHT reasons - for the love of the breed and to better the breed. And don't support backyard breeders like this person. Are you getting TICA registered kittens? And are they giving you breeding rights? I didn't think so!
