Of Interest to Breeders...
At sometime or another, most of us have chosen to go beyond just "owning" a pet. Many of us have also contemplated the idea of breeding one or more of those pets. Whether professional or novice, the reality is that there will be new "housing" needs to consider for various reasons.

The following information is meant to help suggest possible solutions for different needs you may have.

The word "queen" most often refers to a breedable female. "Queening" refers to the taking care of the newborn.

If the recessed litter pan option is chosen and the litter pan is left out of the hole, the mother can travel up to the top level to get away from the litter for a break... Leave the top door open, and she can

For males, larger "holding" areas are generally desired.  
 
  You may find that when inviting guests into your home to look at young kittens, rather than let the kittens run loose around the room, a Kitten Display Pen may be the answer. It allows one or two kittens to be handled and then easily put back.
