    Charging Different Rates for the Same Kitten

    Just want to air one of my great pet-peeves. . . I completely fail to understand the logic of those breeders who advertise different rates for the same kitten depending on if they are purchased as a pet or for show. I just don't get it!! I can understand selling a kitten as show quality for a...

    Soliciting Opinions on Grand Photos

    I did a re-shoot with my Egyptian Mau, PB, on the day he granded in anticipation of getting a decent shot of him to be published in the CFA Yearbook for the 2009-2010 season. Grand photos are important in that they provide a visual historical record of the growth and development of a breed. PB...

    Ethical vs. Reputable

    The last thread was closed before I could post my thoughts on this subject, but I feel strongly that it is something worth discussing. I think that we tend to conflate the ideas of what makes an ethical breeder versus what makes a reputable breeder. They are not the same concepts, however, a...

    Consequences of Lecturing Potential BYB's

    Okay, I'll admit that I am amongst the guilty in trying to "educate" future breeders in the right methods of breeding. However, one thing I think we might want to keep in mind is that everytime we lecture someone on breeding, we might be giving them the right answers to give to the next breeder...

    Selling Cats as Breeders

    If you breed cats, one point or another, you're going to be asked to sell a cat as a breeder. Hopefully we all know who is who in our respective breeds and we already have an idea of who we would work with one day and who we would not. I know I do I won't sell a cat as a breeder to a new...

    Paper Problems. . .

    I recently brought two cats into my program. I've had the cats since mid-September. As of today, I've still not seen the contract or the registration papers for these cats. One of the cats was a female in heat, and their breeder (who was in contact with me at the time) advised I breed her...
