Alfie's actually wee'd on my bed with me in it!!! Would never send him back... love him to bits!

About the weeing on the bed.....

The male Maine Coon decided to poo in our en-suite bath. As we don't use it and easy to rinse out anyway (better than poo-ing on the carpet) I decided that I would put a second litter in the bath - has worked a treat.

My old MC used to poo in the bedroom sometimes - bit of a nuisance but easily cleaned up. Didn't think then of putting a second litter in the bath...

HA HA he sounds a right little monkey!

People dont realise that these things can happen and they can be rectified with time and some patience

We have it in our contracts that in all instances if the owners can no longer keep the kittens/cats they must tell us immediately and we will take them back and it will be our responsibility to find them a new home.

A pair of cats from our first litter came back to us for homing as unfortunately the couple's relationship had broken up and the guy had moved back into his parents house with the cats. His mother was allergic and told him he had to give up the cats and bless him - he did contact us. He was obviously heartbroken and the day we went to collect them he was in tears; his mother then pulled me aside and asked if I could just keep them for a week as she hadn't realised how upset he would be and she would go to the doctors and get some tablets to help etc. I said that that wasn't really a solution (as the guy would be there at his mother's for some time) and also I had a wonderful home lined up for the cats. I felt awful for the guy as he had obviously taken good care of the cats and they were well fed and groomed and he was really distressed.

However the cats are now settled in their new home and are very much loved and pampered. The original owner gets occasional updates from the couple who have the cats now (at his request) and he is happy that they are settled.

I've not had a kitten returned yet.

But we do have a clause in our contract that states that the cat cannot be resold, and if the cat has to be rehomed for any reason then we have to be notified so that we can find a suitable home for the cat or take the cat in ourselves.

I had a case years ago where I homed two rather distinctive kittens together - one had been shown. So I knew immediately when I saw them advertised in the local petshop some months later, the advertisement mentioning rosettes, that they were the ones I sold. I swallowed my annoyance, bought them back and rehomed them again. I always make it clear that I will take a kitten back but I guess the buyers thought they would get more money back by advertising them

Pathetic isn't. In my opinion when you take on an animal its for life but it seems some folk forget that.

hello Janee - glad you could provide a home for a lovely Maine Coonie - they are such characters aren't they.

I have either not been breeding for long enough yet or perhaps have been very lucky in that none of my kitten families have returned a kitten yet. I do stipulate that any kitten or cat bred by one of my queens who needs to be found a new home for whatever reason, MUST come back to me first so that I can assess whether they can be rehomed or stay with me. If I am responsible for bringing a cat into the world, then I must be responsible for its lifelong welfare so that he/she never needs to worry about where the next meal is coming from.

This is one of the things a breeder needs to take into account when considering breeding.

There are many reasons people may give and I believe others have given plenty above this post.

I wish you well with your fur-kid.

Best purrs
