The Cat Breeding For Beginners Podcast

Sometimes you think you know exactly how a litter is going to unfold and then your cats remind you that they have their own plans. After one disaster litter I was sure the next one would be smooth. It was not. This morning turned into absolute chaos and I am sharing the story while it is still unfolding because every breeder has had a version of this moment.

If you have ever had a queen surprise you or throw your plans into complete disarray you will feel this one in your bones.

As the year comes to a close, it’s natural to start thinking about what you want next from your cats, your breeding program, and yourself as a breeder.

In this episode, I’m sharing a real end of year reflection on what I’ve seen throughout 2025 and why so many breeders feel unsure when it comes time to plan ahead.

I talk about
• what I’ve learned from travelling and being part of the global cat fancy
• what I see again and again with new and developing breeders
• why overwhelm and second guessing are so common
• how confidence actually builds over time
• and why knowing where you’re starting matters more than any plan you make

I also share how this year forced me to reassess everything personally and professionally, and why having the right support makes such a difference when life gets complicated.

This episode is for you if
• you want to do things properly
• you feel unsure about your next steps
• you’re tired of guessing
• you want to feel calmer and more confident with your cats

Before you plan next year, work out where you are now.

Your next step
Take my quiz
What Kind of Cat Breeder Are You?

It’s not a test.
There’s no right or wrong.
It simply shows you where you’re at right now and what to focus on next so planning becomes easier.

You can find the quiz on my links page

If you’re feeling unsure, this is the right place to start.
