Hey guys. My friends got a male Bengal and female Siamese. He wants to breed from them. What would the kittens be called and much much would the be worth? Anything else we need to know?


Thanks.

They would not have a name they would be the cat equivalent of Mutts.

Anything else you need to know? Yeah tell your friend not to breed them and get them neutered. There are enough kittens in the world.

This.

The word is 'Moggie' and there are enough cats in rescue atm.

People are just not adopting, let alone buying right now because of the economic climate. Producing a litter of kittens could end up a money loser - especially if any vet care is needed.

Plus, living with an entire male cat is going to get smelly They spay everywhere and it stinks. And living with an entire female is going to get annoying with the constant calling and escape attempts.

Yup, another who is agreeing with the previous posters. Tell him to be a responsible owner and neuter/spay. No more kittens are needed

I don't think there is any demand for cat crossbreeds unlike the "Labracockerdoodle" type dogs - there is no benefit.
Our family cat back in the day was a cross between siamese and ginger tom - lovely cat, but worth no more than any other moggie. If your friend really wants to get into breeding (I guess all breeders have to start somewhere) then a lot of reading & visits to cat shows will be needed before getting started. He'd be best off getting these two neutered and enjoy them for what they are and maybe getting into it once he really knows whats involved.

Whatever the going rate for non-pedigree kittens is - which may be giving them away free.

There are many thousands of unwanted cats - some pure-bred but mostly moggies - in rescues and refuges up and down the country. If there's a rescue or Cats' Protection branch near your bf or to you, maybe volunteer to help and then you'll get a sense of the enormity of the problem.

Exactly. The OP's "friend" seems incredibly irresponsible and I worry for those cats.
