And in that case what is deemed "fair"??

Just trying to prepare myself for it incase I comes up against it when i sell my kittens

I know people have to ask the price, but I am put off if that's the first question they ask.

I haven't ever discounted when people have had more than one kitten, but then I have never had anyone ask either. At the end of the day, the cost of the kitten has very little, if any, profit in it. Certainly siamese and orientals, the price you charge for them just covers the cost of bringing them up. You are lucky if you break even. Some litters you may make a small profit, but the next litter could see you make a huge loss. But you get pleasure by the bucket load
