A 4 year old Persian queen is brought to you by a cat owner. The queen has been showing continual heat for the last 2.5 months. They want to breed her, but are unsure of what to do. They do not own a male, but a friend has a male that they want to bring over in about 6 months to breed.   Some questions for you to think about: What kind of history questions do you want to ask? What is heat? What does heat look like? Is this normal? Is this a normal heat? How should they breed when the time comes? How can you tell if she is pregnant? What if she does not get pregnant, when can will she come back into heat? What if she does not get pregnant and you suspect that she has a problem, what do you want to do? This is for you to ponder for our classroom discussion. If you want to ask questions, you may post them to the chance room if you wish, or ask in person of course.
