It strange because both cats have the same lines popping up. The cheaper one, is in England, I had hoped that this way I would find it easier to find a stud in Scotland and their lines note to closely related but the one in Scotland has much the same lines.

You need to check out the pedigree/lines too and see if the breeder may know or arrange somewhere for you can take the girl to stud when she is ready.
If you are still keen on the new breeder's cat - ask her if she can get her mentor or a more experienced breeder to look at the kitten in question and assess it if it is practicable.
Do make sure that whatever kitten you get is registered as "Active".  |
Hi Karen,
The lady with the cheaper one (blue mitted) has had some help from her Mentor in picking this kitten. We are due to visit in the 2nd week in July when she is around 9/10 weeks.
It is the studding I am a wee bit worried about. As I said before they all seem to have the same grandparents, both cats have very similar lines.
I would love a tortie but £650 I think is just a wee bit too much. I think I may stick with the mitted girl and perhaps this time next year I will be in a better position to buy a Tortie, possibly. I do love the torties but the price is putting me off to be honest, that and the fact that it wasn't advertised as active, yet when I enquired they added an extra £300.
I could save.....
I have been looking at my mitted girl again today and then looking at the pictures of the other mitted girl and they do look very alike.
Whichever one I get I will
ENSURE!!! it is on the active list.
I hope your Poppy and kitts are well
