Going back to the very 1st post...

In my mind the seller wasn't crazy at all! Why charge more for a colour!

It really pi$$es me off when breeders charge more for a certain colour, or sex when it's essentially the same species, grrr!!

The most important thing to remember when re-homing any animal is to choose the most suitable home, the home you most believe will be the most loving, and most likely to be forever.

Price has to come after this...

IMHO i really believe they should all be priced the same from any one breeder, there's no need for charging more for a certain colour etc, ridiculous!!

Uh, no.

I'm calling people like the folks we know who just want a "rare" or "unusual" or
"offbeat" cat just for the rareness of it, but don't bother to find out anything else, stupid. It's pretty stupid to say "oooh, I want a munchkin next because it's so tiny and nobody else has one so people will think I'm cool".

when i first heard of scottish folds and munchkins, i thought awww i want one! but then i looked them up and saw all of the problems and thought no way am i paying money for a cat that has so many health problems coz it will encourage the breeder to breed more of them. really aint fair on the cat.

I first heard about Scottish folds when I read the "Cat Who Went to Paris" series and was really impressed by this cat's personality. Apparently as a breed they are super sweet and affectionate and I would love to have one for that reason. But I did the same thing and found out they are prone to all sorts of problems, so I wouldn't want to encourage their breeding by buying one.

Incidentally, the author of the series didn't know either--he received his kitten, at 7 weeks old, as a gift from his gf. He had never liked cats and so it is a lovely tale of how someone could go from knowing absolutely nothing and having everything done wrong from the start and turning it into a beautiful relationship. The final book makes me sob like a baby every time I read it and it's brought me a lot of comfort when I've lost one of my own. Sorry for the sidetrack
