Breeding and Showing Cats/Deworming

Question
Hi!  I would like to know when it is the best time to deworm my Queen Ragdoll before I breed her.

Answer
HI Wanda

It will be OK to worm your cat anytime up to 48 hours before she goes off to stud.  If however you have been worming on a regular basis and she doesn't go out to roam and you don't have fleas, her normal worming regime will be perfectly OK and there will be no need to do her specially just before going to stud.

Genetics however is not my strong point.
