Question
One reason I want my 1 year old Persian cat to get married and have kittens is that I don't want her to feel lonely at home.
Do cats feel lonely? or it's ok with them??

Answer
Cats certainly can feel lonely.  However, the best way to fix this is to get her another kitty that is neutered rather than to breed her.  Your kitty doesn't need to be bred to form a close bond with another cat.  Cats who aren't related at all can be the best of friends.  And honestly, the cats I've had that have been bred do not remain any closer to each other than they are with other cats.
