Hi everyone

[eloise67]

Kito my mel had absolutely no interest in the in-season female. Bamba went nuts and started spraying everything and everyone. I hadn't realised quite how interested Bamba was until we heard her screech one night and caught them there and then! After this they were kept separated. Kito was asleep at my feet throughout bless him. Although Bamba was only seven months he was way more dveloped testicle wise than Kito?

As a breeder, I am of course very curious to know the pedigree of this cat!

Its difficult to put details of the breeder out here in public as I really like her and she may well have been duped herself? I've done lots of googling and have found that the breeder of the boys Dam registered a litter of 4 F2Bs born 22 Jan 2012 then another litter of 2 F2Bs born to the same Dam and sire born on 8 May 2012 which my breeder had both of (2 girls for breeding). The first litter were all healthy and I've found internet pictures of them with the dam over several weeks. I just wonder if this is a bit odd to have two healthy TICA registered litters born so close together?

No, the brothers could have completely different DNA profiles theoretically...they get half DNA from each parent...unless they are identical twin cats I guess!

No, it might not be cool to put on the forum in public... you are correct

That is very close together for two litters... 3 and a half months later? It's theoretically possible of course... female cats can come into heat while nursing kittens. Just most breeders wait a little longer.

It would be nice to know who the breeder is though privately to find out about the F3C status of the male... Feel free to use the contact link to email me

Human DNA-Grandpa will show + parentage for grandbaby/Uncles too...ONLY male history; mom/grandma doesn't come out the same...so I wondered if it held true to other species?

Would be one for the books!!!!

There is no way that male is an F3C anyway...there were many mistakes in the pedigree, if we remember correctly...

I'm not sure I am understanding you correctly...with Human DNA we can see familial links and that would likely be true with cat DNA also...but a parent shows a closer link to their progeny than an uncle or aunt does...

@eloise67 - your breeder does not have a TICA registered cattery, unless she registered it under a different name and she is NOT a member of the TICA Online Breeders, even though her website has her listed as such...not sure what to make of all this really...
