Limited Purchases for Special Colletion Kitties

[anna Acanthus]

It's extremely… "near sighted" shall we say, to think that dumping prices is doing the market, the product or anyone any good.

People who try to maintain a decent price for their breeding efforts are viewed by some as being greedy when in fact for the great majority of these breeders the object is to strive to maintain the market, and not deprive buyers from having well treated cats. In fact many of us will willingly and discreetly offer cats for free if we spot someone who truly loves breeding but just can't afford to buy the latest and greatest.

I just don't know whats going on really, in the last year or less, the KC community has changed and seems to slowly be taken over by a mentality that we've seen in certain other breedables and always done our best to avoid.

The community in general used to be about respecting each other and not undercutting and self seeking, times have changed and for many of us it's saddening.

Maybe some will realize when prices have crashed so much that no one can even hope to cover kibble anymore? I doubt it but hope springs eternal.

Lets just hope that this situation resolves itself, that the breeding community returns to a healthy size and that we can work to recover the market from this onslaught.
