Question
So I brought a tom to my house to breed my Siamese. At first neither of them liked eachother especially my cat, so i waited a while for them to get used to eachother. its been a few days now and my cat has been very aggressive with the tom the whole time. Now ive out them in a room alone together and used a mirror to make sure they dont kill eachother. And now all of the sudden my cat loves the tom, she is purring at him and laying down so he can mount her, and all the tom was doing was trying to find a way out. so i went in and put him on my cat to give him the idea of what hes suposed to do and he didnt like that at all. so i left and he still just ignored my cat. is it possible he has no instict? is there anything i can do the give him a hint?

Answer
If he is a proven stud, he may just be put off by her previous nastiness. He needs more time to accept her than she needed to accept him. Leave them together alone for as long as it takes for him to relax and feel at home with her. You should also go in and cuddle him occasionally to make him feel more at home.
Most times the female is sent to the male as he needs to feel comfortable in his surroundings to mate. But time will fix all the problems. Just relax and let nature take its course.
Good luck,
