3000 L$ : 2 permapets (all I can really justify at this price) and I have to menagerie kitties that I love
3000 L$ : 10 breeder kitties at 120 days if they costed 300L to permapet
With the second option, KittyCats gets the same amount of money. Actually, over time, they'd probably get more because it's easier to justify 300L than 1500. In exchange, the customer is happier and these non-breeding pets don't affect the market at all. We could afford to keep lots of kitties as a record of our breeding life and can show off kitties (free advertising), and I think it would be hard to justify menagerieing ANY kitty that we've kept to 120 days at that price.
Oh, it's only 300L so the kitty doesn't DIE. 
In the long run, I think it'd make more financial sense because it would get breeders, notorious collectors that we are, into the habit of spending that last 300L or whatever on the kitty rather than losing it forever.
I understand your point. But I have to say that most breeders sell their kitties offspring as well. If you're gonna do math, also take into consideration the lindens one can make by breeding.
Two kitties cost L$320 a month to feed. They make 4 boxes a month. So if you sell each offspring for L$80, you already have your food out

To Permapet or not to Perma pet.
