In CryptoKitties, you can breed to produce a new cat that is the genetic combination of its parents. If you have plans to breed a cat you want to buy, be sure to look at its pedigree. Anticipating the outcome is unknown, and the possibilities for unique and rare genetic makeups of a CryptoKitty are endless. Each cat has unique Cattributes that are visible, but certain traits can be unlocked by way of breeding. Knowing the breeding cats’ Cattributes can help you determine the likely outcomes of breeding.

One cat acts as the sire in each breeding pair and will have a recovery period before breeding again. The second cat, the dame, incubates the kitten, during which time it cannot engage in another pairing. You can breed your Kitties in two ways:

 Breed two of your own cats.

 Breed one of your cats with a public sire or dame. If your cat is the sire, you’re paid a fee by the dame’s owner.

Fees are involved with breeding, even if you’re breeding two of your own cats: 0.015 ETH at the time of writing but this changes with market conditions.

Though a CryptoKitty can breed any number of times, the recovery and gestational periods increase the more they mate, so pay attention to the breed time (next to the Clock icon underneath your Kitty’s picture). The more times your prospective cat has been used to breed, the slower it is to produce offspring.

Breed two kitties of the same generation. The kitten they produce is given a generation number that’s the highest generation of both parents plus one. For example, if you breed a Gen 4 Kitty with a Gen 5 Kitty, you get a Gen 6 cat. If you breed two Gen 10s, on the other hand, you get a Gen 11.
