Default Does the vitamin E speed up the cat's heat?

My husband said that they give at farms extra vitamin E for cows and
pigs so they'll get in heat earlier than they normally would. He said
that it could be happen to cats as well. I'm breeding my cat soon and
waiting her to get in heat. She's in heat 4 times a year. I have male
cat already here waiting and he's under the castration threat. Does
anyone has knowledge about this e-vitamin? If it works with cats, how
much can I safely give to my female cat?
Husband said that cows came in heat in a week when they got vitamin E.
Any other hints how my cat gets in heat earlier than she normally
does?

asking a question like that proves you should not be breeding the cats!
please just get them both neutered!

If you were a professional, responsible breeder looking to produce
wonderfully healthy, sound, standard kittens, you would have a whole
breed club and several vets to ask this question of.

Since you do not seem to have that, skip breeding her and get her
spayed. There are enough unwanted cats in this world. You might want to
castrate the tom, too.

Yes, too much Vitamin E can be dangerous, just like anything else. We
eat cows and pigs. I doubt birth defects are an issue for livestock
animals. They are an issue for professional breeders who care about
their breed.

To be more specific, Vitamins A, D and E are fat-soluble, and thus will
accumulate in the body, even up to toxic levels. It's much harder to
overdose on Vitamins B and C, which are water-soluble and thus get
flushed out regularly (and by the same token, can also get depleted and
need to be supplemented.)

Professional = in it for the money?

Not in my opinion. In my opinion,

professional=spends more than earns, shows their animal, belongs to
breed clubs, and strives to improve the breed (including selective
breeding, screening for genetic disorders, neuter contracts on pet
quality animals, etc). They don't breed their females more than is
healthy, about once a year at most. They don't breed their female during
her first heat or while she's too immature to properly bear and nourish
young. They don't wean the young too early and they socialize them and
rear them in a home environment. They breed for both conformation and
temperament, as well as for the absence of genetic disorders.

A professional breeder spends more than they earn, between taking care
of all the animals, having them tested, vaccinated, fed quality food,
groomed, exercised, etc. They spend even more if they do the show
circuit frequently.

Backyard breeder or miller=in it for the money.

Idiot=I let my pet have a litter so my kid could see the miracle of
birth.

Dumbass=Neuter? What's that?

I have no problems with professional breeders. They are few and far
between compared to all the people who let their pets breed (see your
local newspaper), the BB, and the millers who sell to pet stores, etc.
