Crazy flippin emails about wanting a kitten? WHY cant I just get nice normal people who want a kitten??

After the F3 email, the crazy person calling me, I recieved this one today:

hello...how much are your kittens as pets & breeding?
Replied with a very long email wont paste it!
this was her reply:

I am not a breeder & I have 1 cat at the moment, which is just a pet & he lives inside...I am not lokin for a cat on active just a pet
I replied pasting her first email as Im now on 'alert!'
her reply?

I want a pet girl but not have her spayed

WELL you can imagine my reply!! For god sake! Ive now turned down 3 people by phone, and 4 people by email.
Where are the normal nice people looking for a loving family pet?

Please tell me its not just me getting these types of emails?

Oh shame. I'm sorry. You must be fuming!

Every breeder I know gets weird ones. I hope you get nice, normal kitten enquiries soon.

No you're not alone- I had plenty with my litter of BSH

One crazy women who really couldn't take no for an answer for a while - it got ridiculous and then one who wanted a kitten who could roam freely, despite the fact her last two cats had died in road accidents - and she told me this and seemed bemused when I said no to her?? Then another who wanted to take the kitten to Spain on holiday as soon as she collected it - yeah right....!

However, amongst all the 'no-no's' I managed to find lovely new mum's and dad's in the end.

It sure does make you wonder what planet some people are on
I hope you get some regular people looking to be a loving slave to one of your gorgeous babies soon.
They are out there, don't lose faith

I no longer breed but did for about 10 years -
i had phone calls asking if my Siamese were lilac despite advertising otherwise -why ? because it would match the newly decorated room better
i had one call -'I have antique furniture -they won't scratch it will they ?'
Another -2 of my cats have died of FELV I need 2 more kittens and no end of people living on main roads letting kittens wander
i gave up breeding because i couldn't tolerate the idiots out there --but i did make some true friends and had some lovely homes for my kittens

I'm afraid I would never make a breeder because I wouldn't be able to part with the kittens in case they went to a poor home. Our rescue Siamese was not in a good way when we got her because of her first owner.

It must be a terrible situation, deciding what the potential owners are going to be like with your precious kittens.

I had a lady on my last litter, called up asked about the Siamese kittens etc, sounded very knowledgeable on the phone already had a neutered Siamese one year old wanted a friend for him etc,after a very normal lengthy conversation I made an appointment for her to view.

She arrived that weekend with a very normal family a daughter of ten,and a husband, we had coffee,and a chat for about an hour and they seemed perfect they picked a kitten,and she said she never had the full deposit,they seemed so nice so I agreed she could pay a smaller deposit.

Everything seemed ok and a couple of days passed,on the tuesday evening, I had a family gathering around at my house as it was the night before my fathers funeral,and we were discussing who was going to carry the casket etc,and having a general chin wag about our fathers life and loves etc. It was approx 11.00pm,and the phone rang, I answered and it was this lady, and she was extremely drunk,slurring her words etc.

I remained cival and asked how could I help her,she asked if she could come around and see the kitten, I asked when and she said now,I said it was not convient one because I had family around due to my fathers funeral arrangements,and two because it was incrediably late, she then said well what you hiding, I said nothing and repeated myself,she said I must be hiding something,I tried to reassure her that it just was not an appropriate time but she was having none of it,she was extremely rude and abusive in her drunken state.

The next day she emailed an apology saying it was totally out of character,I informed her that the damage was done and that we would be returning her deposit and we no longer wanted to sell one of our kittens to her.She then phoned pleading for us to reconsider,and that she would bring around the full deposit,but I informed her my wife and I had made our minds up.

So it defianately is not just you,life is full of very interesting characters,and some of them seem intent on buying kittens
