I admit I lurk in the forums, but this thread has prompted me to put in my two cents.
I used to breed Fennux, these little foxies are at 100% heat by the end of their first week of life; breeding them was fun because I got dens fast, but so did everyone else. The market was dynamic to say the least, things moved fast, auctions were packed and those with luck made a lot of money selling their prized dens. But a year on after, the market took a tumble, the easy breeding that lure many in soon saw many giving up and fire sales were everywhere.
I'm not saying the same thing might happen to the KittyCats market should they shorten the 14 days initial wait. I feel that this longer wait has a more psychological purpose (whether it was intentional or not), it forces you to plan your breedings better, it also filters the recreational breeders from the committed ones. Imagine new entrants to KittyCats everyday plus a dynamic market where new furs and traits move fast, it becomes - in my opinion - stressful. Perhaps some of us relish this challenge, and it does not hurt KittyCats having more kibble/milk sales due to the appealing shorter initial breeding period.
All I'm saying is that the market stability that KittyCats enjoy might change, for better or worse I do not know. Most breeding programs are designed to challenge the breeder to work with their rules and KittyCats have already remove the many restrictions that plague most breedables like allowing in-breeding. For having the freedom to mate 2 cats regardless of parentage, I think its a small price to pay for that first 14 days wait, it made me appreciate the cats (and my breeding effort) instead of treating them as a commodity.
Just my two cents
