Do sibling cats have more chances to have deficient kittens if they mate?
Definitely. I would never recommend doing that. It would be cruel to the kittens. If you have a litter of kittens and keep all the boys and girls, neuter the boys or something. --- Breeding sibling cats increases the chance of recessive genetic defects. Not all cats carry them, and this is why breeders are able to inbreed cats without defects through careful breeding.
How do you breed a Dutch frill canary?
For a start Frills are difficult to breed and are not recommended for beginners. It would be better to start with an easier breed like Fifes. If you are determined to proceed with North Dutch or South Dutch Frills read on.
First call your nearest canary club and ask if they have any Frill breeders. If they do join the club. I recommend this because there are a lot of rogues out there trying to sell poor quality Frills at inflated prices. Club members have their reputation to protect and look after new members.
You want young club rung stock no more than two years old. The year of a birds hatch is given on the birds ring. Tell the breeder what colour you want and ask them to pick out a pair for you.
Ask the breeder which bird is frosted and which is non-frosted so you can learn to tell the difference. It is usual to pair frosted to non-frosted but there can be exceptions if one of the birds is white or blue.
Ask him/her whether the vents should be trimmed for good fertility and if so could he show you how to do this. Most importantly ask the breeder if you can swap back either of the birds if they turn out to be the wrong sex.
Considering the Frilled breeds are relatively expensive, moving Frill eggs out to foster pairs is recommended. The ideal foster pairs are proven breeders of a less expensive variety that you bred the previous season. A foster's eggs are discarded and replaced with the Frill eggs allowing the Frills to lay another clutch. Having six pairs of fosters for each pair of Frills increases your chances of having fosters available at the right time.
If you really want to breed Frills I encourage you to start with an easier variety first and only buy your Frilled breeding stock after you have one season of experience. Part of the reason these birds are expensive is because they are so difficult to breed.

Will an unfixed male cat mate with his sister?
no, because its not possible. males can tell if a cat is a male or female. Best thing to do with 2 males who don't know each other: get them away from each other because they will fight over territory. To do this, splash water on them. If the do know each other, just let them be.
What is the difference between estrus and estrous cycle?
The estrous cycle is the cycle of a non-pregnant female mammal that goes through a luteal phase and a follicular phase. Estrus is the period in which an animal will stand to be bred, and is part of the follicular phase of the estrous cycle.
An easy way to remember it is that estrous is an adjective and estrus is a noun. Thus, estrous refers to the entire cycle, whereas estrus just refers to the phase in which the animal can get pregnant.
Usage:
The female chimpanzee can get pregnant because she is in estrus.
The female chimpanzee can get pregnant in this phase of her estrous cycle.
What does it mean when your cat eats a kitten?
It sounds like domination or battle for the fittest. If the cat is not the kittens mother this is natural. If the kitten is not protected by its mother the kitten is at risk to being killed until it grows older to protect itself. Obviously, the genetics of the mother wasn't fit enough to stay with and protect its offspring. Psychologically, your cat may see the kitten as a threat to its own existence when it grows older. Or maybe your cat was just hungry XD
Addendum to above answer:
It could also be that the kitten was sickly and posed a threat to the rest of the kittens. Sometimes mother cats will eat a sickly kitten who has died in order to protect the rest of the kittens from dying of the same illness.
What if it a female white cat with orange on it called?

Why is sterilization better than killing cats to control their population?
When feral cats in a colony are removed from their habitats and destroyer (Trap and Kill), their food source remains available, yet no longer protected. This causes cats from surrounding areas to move in and claim the food source, and thus, the number of feral cats in the colony remains the same. In a managed colony (Trap, Neuter, Release), sterilized cats remain to protect their food source, but don't reproduce. Thus, the colony will become smaller over time, versus Trap and Kill.
How do you get used to having an outdoor cat after only having had indoor cats?
Don't try. Keep it inside. If you have an attached garage put a screendoor on it so the cat can observe the outside during the day. Peta won't like this but if you must to keep it from destroying your furniture, have it's front toenails removed. We have 6 very happy cats and our daughter has 9. They all have had their front toenails removed. On the 4th day after the operation they will be having a ball.
What should be done during the mating time of a female cat?
Once a cat matures enough to go into heat it can get pregnant anytime after that. Cats are not like dogs that are only fertile for short periods a couple of times a year. Cats are ready all the time. After giving birth they behave until the kittens are done nursing but are extremely eager at that point. Having them spade before they have a chance to breed is the best thing to do.
