Cats (Queens) can contract pyometra. See the link for an explanation. This is an excellent reason to spay if the cat isn't going to be used in your breeding program. If you choose to keep her as a breeder then consider getting another siamese male that has been neutered. When she comes into heat then put her in with the male and let them breed. This will stimulate the female to go back out of heat. We breed ragdolls and they are definitely prone to pyometra. I have no information on your preferred breed. Best of luck! And please do find a good mentor. Consider joining a local cat club, I am sure you can meet someone there that has more breeding experience. Here is another factor to consider.

Get her a Tom ! :-) BTW: Doc Emily(Kittie Doc Superior) tells me that cats are opportunists and will go into heat when for some reason best known only to cats, they want to go in to heat. I am a big believer that unless this is a show quality example of a breed and you are going to breed, get them fixed. A good time to fix is at or around the first heat. There are far to many kitties and not enough people to care for them. There is an old myth that a Queen should have one litter of kittens before neutering. Horse Feathers!. I have a couple of neutered Queens who have never experienced matrimonial bliss and they have turned out fine. My kids send Purrrrrs and headbumps to your kids. Ed, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, Piesack, and Fur Face. Well, there is the obvious. Get her a Tom ! :-)
