QUESTION: Hi
I has recently bought and Siamese (males) and also willing to buy a female cat but i don't wont Siamese female. So please tell me is it ok to buy Persian cat or hamaylian cat.Will they be alight for each other and tell me which one of two breeds are  better option so i could get better offspring . My cat is of 8 month

ANSWER: Hello
I would not recommend you buying another breed of cat to mate with your Siamese. You would end up producing moggies that are not helpful to the breeding program of either breed.
You need to ask yourself why you want to breed the Siamese male and what you are trying to achieve with this program.
I am sorry I cannot help you with this question but I do think this could be regarded as irresponsible breeding so before you do anything please do consider the main questions of why get a Siamese cat and what do you want to do with it

QUESTION: Vet told me that i will get Himalayan by crossing Persian with Siamese. will it be possible. Actually i was more interested  in long hair cats but bought Siamese accidentiallyv now i don't want to leave Siamese and wanna buy long hair cat too.wat should i do

Answer
Your vet is right, you will get a Himalayan by crossing the Persian to Siamese. These are nice cats, but both the Persian and Himalayan are high maintenance cats, they require constant grooming to prevent matting of their fur. If you want to produce the Himalayan then I would suggest you contact your local Himalayan cat club in your country and talk to breeders about pedigrees to chose to prevent any inbreeding.
