Is it difficult to breed Peterbalds?
Cats have the highest mortality rate of and domestically bred animal at about 35%. Cats can be generally difficult to breed, and these cats are certainly no exception. Their hairlessness makes the female more prone to be injured during the breeding, even just from the normal biting the male will do to hold her. If your female is injured in this way, just keep an eye on the wound. Clean it once you are able, and try to keep Neosporin on it. All cats are prone to abscesses, especially from bite wounds, so just keep an eye on it. Prevention is easier that the cure! If you are considering becoming a breeder of the Peterbald, I HIGHLY recommend finding an experienced breeder to mentor you. There are many things unique to this breed that are very important to know. Also, it is helpful to have someone who can just answer any questions you may have at all stages. Work hard to find a quality breeder that you can trust! It is well worth the effort.
