My goal is to bring traits together I love and think work well together and most of the time my buyers like these combinations as well.
Why high end to me is completely subjective and highly depends on the taste of the buyer.
It is the same as finding a definition for a pretty cat, one the whole community loves and desires I just think that is not possible.
A high end cat for me is a well-traited cat with a newer trait(s) that many people would want and is willing to pay for it. Like having a high end car in RL, say a Ferrari, the desirablity of owning one, the rarity, and the performance drives the price up for that car.
Newer traits are always in demand and desirable, atleast in the world of competitive breeding, and performance would be the actual breeding value of the cat.
Personal preference plays a lesser part when it comes to high end cats in my opinion, because to make a high end cat with both value in itself (high price) and with high breeding value (good to get into your breeding program) you are somewhat constricted to having newer traits, especially fur and eye.
Getting "pissy" about the left out older breeds of kitties
