How does breeding happen? Well, when a tom loves a ladyfriend, or...not. Really, honestly - the first thing you need to know is that breeding will NOT be described on this site. We have young'uns on here. Before things get explicit, please fade to black. If you REALLY want to roleplay the deed, take it to PMs.
Breeding requires having a non neutered/spayed male and female character. When the female becomes pregnant, she will notify staff, and they will make a note of what exact calendar date she became pregnant on her character profile. Down to the Hour.
Example: Mistwind became pregnant on 01/01/01!
Gestation lasts seven in-game hours (1 week), but can take up to 8 hours if desired. When you give birth, do not roleplay being ill, hungry or exhausted or else you may have complications and your kits WILL suffer for it!
Upon giving birth, or becoming pregnant if you wish, staff will role a die. You can be gifted anywhere between 1-5 kits. The larger the litter, however, the more likely that one will be born unhealthy, or with complications.
A second die will be rolled to determine the kit's genders. 1=male and 2=female. The dice rolled will be between numbers 1-3 however. If a 3 is rolled, that kit is stillborn.
What the kits look like is decided by the mother. She can choose to decided with the father or leave everything up to the adopters of her kits. The only restriction is, they should genetically take after parents (or grandparents).
You can have more than one sire per litter, but only if the queen mates with two or more toms within a 3 in-roleplay hour period (3 days). Pregnancy begins, in this case, at the final mating's time, not the first.
As we are starting fresh, you might have rolled for a big litter, but have no one to play them. In this case, if you wish to give up some of your kits for the sake of increasing you're clan's size, this is perfectly alright. We only want there to be as many characters as can be roleplayed on site, after all. In this case, it will simply seem that, while you might have rolled a high number, that only the kits whom you have roleplayers for will have been born.
Well - while it might be frowned upon to have your apprentice get knocked up, it CAN happen - cats who are six months old are technically able to have/sire kits. However, in this case the kits will most likely have something wrong with them; not to mention the largest number, 5 will be halved; so technically, you may be able to have three kits as an apprentice; but if that is the case the third kit will most definitely be ill in some way.

Do I Have to Have My Full Litter?
