Well, I finally have time to tell about that last kitten in the litter left unsold…

Years ago I talked to fellow breeder of dogs, and she told me “Never to tell that this is last kitten in the litter left unsold” and I wondered WHY? Well, now I know.

Somehow people are often under impression that the kitten left unsold, this is the last remaining kitten in the litter, has something wrong with it. After all, there IS a reason to be unsold, right?

I tell you otherwise, that often people try to “book” in advance, based on their beliefs, sex decisions, pattern and color, and not personality, when they did not even SEE the kitten yet. Some want personality, but some want boy or girl or particular pattern. Add to that that we often want to keep a kitty for the cattery and hence we need time to decide which one is better, and so we do not even put them on the web site for adoption.

More often than not, the last remaining kitten is actually the best quality, which we kept for us, however for one reason or another decided to let it go, especially when we keep one or two for observation.

For instance, the kitten I have remaining now was probably the best in the whole litter. We kept HER as breeder, but on vet check up we found out that SHE is actually a HE. As at the moment we have 4 breeding males – WOW, we can not possibly keep another male, plus he is lynx, meaning half of his offpsring will be lynx, plus we already have Chaos as the male with the same pattern and color. So little boy is for sale!

Hope that helps…
