Re: split thread , kitten prices


Hi Nat, You did not offend me at all...Regarding Clooney, I did pay more for him than his non grey littermates (Not an extortionate amount though)but I did not agree that it was correct. If I produced blue cats myself I would charge no more for them than any other colour that I had to sell as at the end of the day they would have cost me no more to produce than any of the other littermates if you get my drift. I do not have a problem with the breeding of these cats, just the ridiculous amounts of money they are sold for. If I bred my two blue cats, the difference between me and these breeders would be that I would charge no more for my blue kittens than I will for Maud's current litter - I hope this clarifies what I was trying to say

Re: split thread , kitten prices


hi PK i get what your saying as there is a big thing right now about blue staffies costing £800-£1000 where there brindle litter mates are £400 or less but what i am saying is that they cost more to start with. how can you say to a breeder that they have to spend over a £1000 for there queen but only sell there kittens for £200 or what every you think is the right price. its the same when it coes to bulldogs.

can i be cheeky and ask you how much you will be selling your new kittens for?

if i get kitten i will be selling mine for about £350 for pets and at first i will not be selling for showing or breeding until i have been in the breed for a little longer



hi belladiablo
1 of my girls is at stud now (she missed last time) and i cant wait just to see them little bolls of fur
and there will be lots of pic

To be honest Nat, I haven't really decided....maybe £40 or £50 ? What do you think?? I have seen moggies advertised free - £300 I would say £45 - £75 is a sort of average

At the end of the day NO ONE forces our kitten customers to pay our prices

You would be very SURPRISED,it isnt only the higher economic class that buy Bengals

The lower econimic class make better pet owners because they save hard for their pet Bengal

I also give a discount to anyone who takes more than one kitten

Re: split thread , kitten prices


We would rather our babies go the the
, in your words "lower economic classes"

because they treat their baby as a very much loved and cherished member of the family.

The , again in your words , "higher economic classes",
tend to treat Bengals as a fashion accesory.

We make no division of class by their financial status, the home and family they are going to are far more important than who has a higher income.

That could be said for all sorts of things. I guess at the end of the day everything has a 'value' and a price, and most of the time the price is dictated by consumer demand and willingness to pay (or competition).

I guess this topic is something we all will have to agree to disagree on, and just drop it because it's not going to resolve anything and isn't really going anywhere..

Now let's get back to some real cat talk
