Really? I thought that there are fewer studs around because the studs have to be the dogs.. sorry.. cat's boll*x to be good enough to be a stud - after all they are responsible for new generations of kittens in massive amounts.

I don't agree that studs have a plop life. Perhaps a human wouldn't want to live on his own in a luxury apartment with totty arriving every few weeks, but our cats don't seem to mind it. I love watching Thriller come out of his house every morning and stretch prior to getting on his tree and watching the birdies go past.

Exactly. My girl has been sold to me on the active register. At the end of the day as the Breeder of her says but there is no way I can tell if she'll be able to have kittens or not, no one can say for sure

I couldn't keep a stud, just me personally as I'd feel TOO guilty! But I admire those who do

I can tell you now stud boys do not have a plop lifeYou must have seen some awfully kept studs Vicki,to make a statement like this, Our lad has the very best life and it shows when you meet him, let me tell you he gets the absolute best of everything and all the play, love and affection he could ever have asked for and then some and any future boys we have will have it the same-so i really do disagree with this remark VickiAlso why would you feel guilty? For what exactly?

I totally disagree that studs have a "plop" breeding life,as stated before,a luxury penthouse with all mod cons,sole use(sometimes)of anything between 1 -6 girls,a life im sure most males would love!also just because they may be kept outside doesnt mean they dont get plenty of love and attention!after all the stud is the core of the whole operation!

I didn't leave the remark they had plop lifes I just said I wouldn't keep one. I have seen Studs kept in loving outdoor pads etc... I'm just saying it's something I'd feel guilty about because I'd prefer for him to be inside with the family.

I don't think there is anything wrong with that at all. I'm not sure why you are getting on the defensive.

If You go back and look Maxwell made this comment.

I'm responding to this remark whomever made this comment-still think it's an untrue and unfair comment to make-so yes i am disagreeing and explaining why i know this to be a lie-in our case at least- i don't do defending Fluff-our cats/kitts don't need it

It was a comment that was made by someone who hasnt even bred yet,would be interesting to know the reasons behind the statement!maybe they have seen some very poor standards of stud care?
