Cats are physically capable of reproduction as early as four or five months. However, a male cat's sperm count at this age will be much lower than that of an older cat. Personally I would choose an older stud because it is difficult to know for sure whether a kitten would make good breeding stock or not. If you intend to breed your female cat rather than spaying her, she should be kept separate from males from about five months of age. It's not a good idea to breed a very young cat as the chances of complications during labour and delivery are much higher. Her pelvis is smaller than an older queen's. Older cats often make better first-time mothers.

∙ 11y agoIf you are looking to breed your Bengal, then you should get in contact with an already established Bengal breeder as they will be able to advise you. Contacting the breeder you have gotten your cat from is usually a good idea. However, many breeders have contracts in place stating whether or not their kittens can be bred from at a later date. If you have signed a similar contract promising to spay or neuter your Bengal, then honor the agreement. By all means ask the breeder if you are unsure.
A lot of breeding cats are cat show Champions. They are a perfect example of their breed. Attending shows and talking to breeders are a good way of gaining knowledge on breeding.
Generally speaking, Bengals are at the prime age for carrying, delivering and nursing kittens when they are around 1 to 2 years old. Although cats can become pregnant from as young as 6-8 months, these cats are still very much kittens and still developing mentally and physically. It is likey the kittens will be weak or unhealthy, and the litter size small, also it's not very healthy for your cat. The health risks are high. It is advised the Queen is at least 12 months before you mate her.
