I am sorry but I don't fully understand your question. If you are asking about breeding cats this link may help answer your questions. Shadow is old enough for breeding at 1 year of age but it is recommended to wait until he is 18 months old (1-1/2 years). http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=1+2139&aid=891 Hope this helps. If you have more questions after reading this article please feel free to post again and be very specific with your question so we can better help you. Best wishes!
