Re: Breeding from moggies..intentional or oops litters


My behavourist at my vets, has always said 13 weeks is too old to get as kitten, she advises to get any kitten Moggy or pedigree earlier than that...

but it does seam to be jac is having a go at another member for breeding moggy kittens just cos that member said she had her kitten to young. and that person is right and that breeder could get a fine off the GCCF it they were reported for selling kittens so young and with out vac.

i know people shouldnt throw stones when they live in glass houses and i really know that as i have done plenty of things wrong in my life and have learned from them, but it does not make it OK to start a thread that has been done lots and lots of times and 1 not so long ago just to have go at some1 cos of wot she said.

Jac should of know that getting her kitten at 7 weeks would course upset with some people
Possibly you should take time to read before posting then. Actually there were circumstances to getting Ola. there again you wouldn't have read that either would you? As for breeding moggie kittens, that's what this thread is about. You only have to look in the free ads or P&H.
Dont sit in judment of me again. You obviously dont know what your talking about.

Really? That's interesting, Pat. I would think it all depends on how well socialised the kitten is though?

But GCCF rules do say 13 weeks - so for a pedigree that should be that

Re: Breeding from moggies..intentional or oops litters


hi Yola
yes i know, and as Jac i did it for the right reasons, but i found mine new forever homes jac fostered her's out and cos i dont read every post i didnt know that it was best for the cats for them to stay where they were, like i said i am sorry

and it may of been Abi (sorry i cant remember names) but was it not C-Fur (or what every his names was) that was going to be the dad?

i just think its wrong to start a whole thread that is done again and again to have a go at 1 person cos you didnt like what was said (thats the way it looks from here)

and just to let people know my windows are now cat proof so i no longer have the problem i had when i found new homes for my MCs

Re: Breeding from moggies..intentional or oops litters


There is absolutely NO difference between a pedigree kitten and a moggie kitten, except the price. And if it is alright for people to rehome their moggy kittens at that age (and I bet the majority of people on here have had kittens of that age), then what is the problem with a pedigree?

There are enough unwanted litters out there every year, that imo , NO breeding should take place except under very strict guidlines and better controlled as to who is allowed to do it. Our CP branch is full to bursting again, we have dozens of kittens that we cant rehome, I have 4 and their mum in my pen, plus 2 adult females in my dining room (yet again lol) but no one wants them, yet people will go out and pay hundreds of ££ for a fancier cat. Why? What is the difference? A cat is a cat, and they all do the same thing. Sleep and puur and eat!! I would never pay that sort of money for an animal. All mine have come to me through circumstance and that is the way to go imo, or rescue!

Purely because it's against the GCCF rules, Alex !!

See you have it wrong again. I was going to take Abi to a breeder. Infact Sarah had sent me a list of them.

Totally off topic and will I probably be deleting it later but as far as I'm awear Nat when Jac had to get rid of her cats no money changed hands which is how it should be when you rehome, didn't all your pets end up on the findit free adds site for sale?

Re-homing is re-homing whether money exchanges hands or not. Infact, I am of the opinion that people who are prepared to pay some money for a cat are often more serious about re-homing than those who want one for free. Of course Jac would not of charged anything for her cats because she wasn't selling or re-homing them was she? she was supposed to be having them back, they were only being fostered out
