Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / July 2003Does the vitamin E speed up the cat's heat?
My husband said that they give at farms extra vitamin E for cows and pigs so they'll get in heat earlier than they normally would. He said that it could be happen to cats as well. I'm breeding my cat soon and waiting her to get in heat. She's in heat 4 times a year. I have male cat already here waiting and he's under the castration threat. Does anyone has knowledge about this e-vitamin? If it works with cats, how much can I safely give to my female cat? Husband said that cows came in heat in a week when they got vitamin E. Any other hints how my cat gets in heat earlier than she normally does?

If you were a professional, responsible breeder looking to produce wonderfully healthy, sound, standard kittens, you would have a whole breed club and several vets to ask this question of. Since you do not seem to have that, skip breeding her and get her spayed. There are enough unwanted cats in this world. You might want to castrate the tom, too. Yes, too much Vitamin E can be dangerous, just like anything else. We eat cows and pigs. I doubt birth defects are an issue for livestock animals. They are an issue for professional breeders who care about their breed. ------------------------------------------------- ~kaeli~ Black holes were created when God divided by 0.

To be more specific, Vitamins A, D and E are fat-soluble, and thus will accumulate in the body, even up to toxic levels. It's much harder to overdose on Vitamins B and C, which are water-soluble and thus get flushed out regularly (and by the same token, can also get depleted and need to be supplemented.) | We eat cows and pigs.

In my opinion, professional=spends more than earns, shows their animal, belongs to breed clubs, and strives to improve the breed (including selective breeding, screening for genetic disorders, neuter contracts on pet quality animals, etc). They don't breed their females more than is healthy, about once a year at most. They don't breed their female during her first heat or while she's too immature to properly bear and nourish young. They don't wean the young too early and they socialize them and rear them in a home environment. They breed for both conformation and temperament, as well as for the absence of genetic disorders. A professional breeder spends more than they earn, between taking care of all the animals, having them tested, vaccinated, fed quality food, groomed, exercised, etc. They spend even more if they do the show circuit frequently. Backyard breeder or miller=in it for the money. Idiot=I let my pet have a litter so my kid could see the miracle of birth. Dumbass=Neuter? What's that? I have no problems with professional breeders. They are few and far between compared to all the people who let their pets breed (see your local newspaper), the BB, and the millers who sell to pet stores, etc. ------------------------------------------------- ~kaeli~ Black holes were created when God divided by 0.

As most others here have said, if you don't know what you are doing, you should not be breeding cats. What do you intend to do with the kittens? To all of you who answered to my question.Thank's for nothing.It's no need to attack towards me when you don't know the bagrounds.Where I'm living it's almost impossible to go to vet and just ask things and even more impossible to call them cause they are always doing homevisits when I try to reach them,I need to travel 50km's to get to vet for even vacinations and for vacination I need to start trying contact vet 1 month before I have planned to get the vacination. Other breeders I've contacted with this issue were also curious cause they have never heard about it before and they asked me to write this board and ask that maybe I can get answer. I'm sorry that you have selters full of unwanted cats but never I'm going to travel thousands miles and pic a cat from your shelters. Unwanted cats are problem but not so big problem in my country as in yours.And there's always going to be people who are willing to buy purereed cats as well.So far I've managed to find good homes for my kittens and I do occasionally visit them.I don't inform the owner when I'm coming to visit them.My cats are healthy and vacinated and I take good care of them.You can have your narrowsighted opinions for yourself and have your catproblems,I don't have problems with cats.This discussion from my part is over.

Where I am >living it's almost impossible to go to vet and just ask things and > even more impossible to call them cause they are always doing > homevisits when I try to reach them, <cut> that's another good reason not to breed kittens! supposing the queen gets into difficulties while given birth and maybe needs a cesarian section? she could die!!!!! if you love your cat how could you possible put her though so much risk! > Sip | that's another good reason not to breed kittens! supposing the queen | gets into difficulties while given birth and maybe needs a cesarian | section? she could die!!!!! if you love your cat how could you | possible put her though so much risk! Well, apparently there were no problems with the last litter, back in November, so perhaps she figures there is no risk. Maybe she wants two litters this year? It's about kittens for sale, after all. > | that's another good reason not to breed kittens! supposing the queen > | gets into difficulties while given birth and maybe needs a cesarian [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > November, so perhaps she figures there is no risk.

Barefoot!!! Uphill both ways!!!!! Please. Stop with the righteous indignation. Cell phones are carried by vets and doctors who do home visits. Even if there are no cell towers, I can't imagine people with no phones at all to reach the vet. If there are no phones, how did you get online on the computer? And if the vets do home visits, why would you have to travel 50km (31 miles) to see them? BTW, 31 miles is not a big deal to me. I work 35 miles (56km) from my home. I drive there and back every weekday. So don't try to tell me it's some big trek for you. And just because people are willing to buy your purebred cats is certainly no reason to breed them - that statement alone marks you as a BYB. In it for the money. Know that for every cat you breed and sell, an unwanted shelter cat dies. And there ARE unwanted cats in EVERY country. Bye bye. ------------------------------------------------- ~kaeli~ Black holes were created when God divided by 0.

What happens if she develops mammary cancer or pyometria? Please stop putting your cat at risk.
