RE: Cats dont breed...
You set the cat's group, as well as docks, magic bottles, food or milk, the same as any other object.
When you rez, it's given the group tag you have on. (Firefox has an option to use the land group, if you're a member.) Most places, you'll need to have the tag on (or the Firefox option enabled) to rez things. If you can rez (create) a new object (say, a box), do so to test before you pull out the cat, dock, etc.
Otherwise, to check and/or change the group, Edit the object (cat, dock, etc) and set the group on the General tab by clicking the icon to the far right of the panel next to the group name (or no name if they are not in a group at all).
Kittens rules, above, miss two CRITICAL checks:
FIRST, check that one is MALE and the other FEMALE.
THEN, check that, if mated, they are mated TO EACH OTHER!!!
Cats regularly 'talk' to the mother ship. To produce an offspring, they need to do so.
Cats talk using HTTP, the same as when you check your Pedigree or Cattery. So you can check the database and web server are up and responding by checking after you're run through the in-world checks, above. If your Pedigree page is slow (it is often slow, so I mean slower than normal), the cat may give up before the servers can respond. If you Pedigree or Cattery won't come up at all, the servers may be down; if so, NO cats will produce offspring, for anyone, until they are back online.
The best check that the servers are up is to retrieve a cat from the Cattery. If the page comes up, and the cat appears on your dock, all is well.
You can FORCE the cats to speak to the mothership.
Any rez does so. This includes rezing from inventory and changing prim mode.
Changing to a new parcel does NOT do so. Changing to a new region (simulator) does. So teleporting, or even walking (over 30 meters in) to a new region will force the cat to obtain a new web client connection from the simulator and check in using this new connection.
