Hi.
How are your breeding male cats kept?
A friend of mine has been pet sitting for a Bengal breeder. The breeding Tom is kept alone all the time. He has a Catio for daytime and an area in the garage at night, but he doesn’t get any attention or socializing other than the transfer from locations twice a day. He cries all the time and seems very unhappy.
While I understand he can’t be with the female cats when they have litters, I just think this isolation unless breeding isn’t very fair to him.
I do believe this is more of a backyard breeder situation, as the cats are not what I would think breeders would want to breed. So, just wondering how everyone keeps their cats.
