I just wanted to tell you guys that I will be getting a kitten on the active list some time in the next few months. I am in the process of applying for my prefix with the GCCF as a cat club secretary has to sign off on the form. I have applied to join the Balinese Cat Society and will be accepted (the club secretary called and told me this) after their next meeting in the second weekend of this month. I will mail my application to the Balinese and Siamese Club tomorrow morning.
Mica's breeder has agreed to be my mentor and she can provide me with a kitten. This could be from her current litter but will probably be from another one as their is only one female on this litter and the breeder who provided the stud may want her. Her other cat is also pregnant and if she has a girl I am first on the list if she has showing potential. Otherwise, the commitee chair also has a litter due in October and she said she would give me a kitten!
I have been researching breeding for about a year and half now, reading many books written by breeders and feline genetics books and threads in this forum. I'm so glad I got to know the Balinese breed so well (thanks Mica!) before I considered breeding. I also am just about to move into a house with a lot more space than my flat right now. So it seems like everything is falling into place!
