I have an announcement

CJK · 13-03-2006, 03:19 PM

Well, i wasnt going to make this public jsut yet, due to recent events but....

.........I have been talking to Kay a lot over the past few days and....

I am going into cat breeding....

NOT PF and MD before you all get in an uproar, though they are both pedigrees thier true registration status isnt known.

I am going to get a GCCF prfix and breed pedigrees registered as active, most liekly colour point persians, thanks to Kay showing us piccie sof her adorable kittens.

I ahve, as you may remmber, already joined the exotic shorthair cat society, whom with it will take 2 years to get a GCCF prefix.

I am NOT going to rush into this, I have given it thought for a few months now.

As I say< i will carefully plan everything, and test my cats and register kittens etc.

so there....soemthing else to talk about!!! (hopefully on a happier note)

Hi CJ,

Does it cost a lot to set up as a breeder? vets bills must be a lot? how do you feel about people coming to your house to view litters etc?

Good luck with it and I hope it all goes well

hi emm,
yes it is going to cost a lot to set up. But I dont plan to start breeding right away, want to reserach and prepare thourughly for it, so i dont go into it with my eyes closed. want to know as much info as i can etc.

I dont mind people coming into my home to see the cats, the hardest bit is going to be letting them go off to thier new homes.

there will be lots of vets bills, but It is something I am genuinely interested in.
There'll be testing the cats for various things, vaccinating them, fela, worm treatments etc etc, but I am sure it will be very rewarding

Oh I know what I would be like CJ I would keep all of the kittens lol

Well as you are not going to start straight away I guess you can start saving now

When me and my OH built computers and sold them from our home (many moons ago) one thing that was a bit of a downer was time wasters that kept turning up.

You are right it should be very rewarding, good luck

Ooh, how exciting CJ!

Kay · 13-03-2006, 06:50 PM

Good luck Cj. It isn't all a bed of Roses, and there are many tears shed, but any advice I can give I gladly will. You know where I am.

It is very rewarding but it also has its fair share of heartbreak and that is something I hope I never get hardened too, as some breeders. If I ever did then that would be the time to give up in my opinion.

Good Luck CJ
