Doubt that BM, if they managed to see them for £100 pounds each, they will just breed her again...Money making, no regard for the poor cat!

Re: Kitten prices


Poor little cat! But in truth, would you pay £100 for a little moggie? Perhaps I'm really behind the times and I can't speak, as I've never paid any money for either of my cats. Merlin was passed on to me and it was either that or he would have been "disposed of" and Smudge chose me to be her carer.

Re: Kitten prices


I paid £100 for Clooney and was pefectly happy to do so. He was just what I was looking for, lots of time and effort had gone into socialising the litter who were healthy, happy and curious. He has never given me a minutes worry and is the loveliest, healthiest cat you could wish to meet. Porsha on the other hand, was £350 pedigree Siamese and has a vets bill as long as my arm, has lifelong cronic conditions, is not show nor breeding quality as she was supposed to be and has given me endless sleepless nights with worry over her. I think that speaks volumes really

Re: Kitten prices


Oh, that so so sad! Poor little mum cat. But do you really think people will pay that inflated price for a little moggy kitten? Hopefully, if they do they'll take good care of him/her.....protect the investment ..

Re: Kitten prices


Yes, I think you are right there Eileen. If you are going to pay a fairly large sum for a cat, HOPEFULLY you would look after it very well. Shows commitment I suppose. But I have to say I have never loved my cats any less for not having paid anything for them.
