Trigger warning: This episode is not for the fragile.
In today’s hot-button podcast episode, we’re talking about the accusation every serious pedigree cat breeder has heard at least once:
“Your cats live in cages.”
Let’s unpack that.
We’re diving deep into:
Cattery setups and housing standards
Queen management
Kitten safety protocols
Why non-breeders misunderstand professional catteries
If you breed Maine Coons, Persians, Bengals, Ragdolls — or any pedigree cat — you know the internet loves drama. But what does responsible cattery management actually look like?
We’re breaking down:
When and why cats may be safely confined
How professional breeders prevent injury, stress, and accidental litters
What enrichment looks like inside a well-run breeding program
Why “cage” doesn’t mean what people think it means
This episode is real talk for serious breeders who treat their cattery like a business — not a hobby. We’re done apologizing for doing things correctly.
If you’re tired of online breeder shaming…
If you’re building a structured, ethical, profitable breeding program…
If you want mentorship from people who actually DO this at a high level…
