My money, why should it worry you?

I know a DNA test can rectify the situation, but your recent comments make it clear that pooling litters is something you commonly practice.
Yes, along with many other breeders. Fortunately with my breed it is usually very easy to tell the difference as there are so many colour and pattern options

I dont want to seem nasty or anything so please dont take this wrong, but I guess its because you could have seperated the mums and kittens so you wouldnt need DNA tests...as a breeder you are suppost to be organised and plan these things in detail.

Anyway, its not a dig...just explaining.
thanks for explaining that perfectly Shetlandlover - it saves me! Indeed it doesn't OFFEND me, nothing OFFENDS me.... I just hate to see such easy to avoid things going wrong, but accept they do go wrong. It's the blasé attitude that really does my head in.

(Liz... "does my head in" not to be confused with "offends me" and yes thanks I have been out twice this week, have tomorrow off, a short trip planned in a fortnights time and have an annual holiday booked for January.)

I doubt the kittens themselves are bothered, but they should be in their new homes being spoiled rotten by new owners and not adding to your numbers (apart from any you are holding back of course).

My money, why should it worry you?
It just seems such a shame to waste money. I'm a yorkshire lass - wasting money is against my genes

Absoloutly, and as i have said I do something similar (adopt kittens onto another queen) with my fosters when necessary. Only when necessary though, and Its not something i would risk with the cross infection as a general rule or with pedigree show cats.

sorry for doing it that way, my brain wont let me work out the quote by section bit tonight!

Re: So disappointed!

Good evening

This thread is going round in circles now so I'm going to close it.

Thank you, it's been an informative read before bedtime
