Question Okay - what's wrong with this ad?!

Think I really do need to get a life! Been trawling through the ads this morning and came to this one..... Obviously I don't need to pay hundreds of pounds in stud fees; I should just let my girl out to mate with local tom and can introduce a new colour at the same time! Have reported the ad as at best should say Ragdoll X's.

Re: Okay - what's wrong with this ad?!

Oh they are everywhere and not just with ragdolls, the sad thing is soo many people fall for them thinking they are a pedigree and paying silly money for them. I ahve had a few that want to re home what they are sure is a pedigree cat of a such and such breed and when they send a picture its just a moggie, I guess if people are too dumb to do their home work before buying them then there sadly is going to be a gap in the market for them and sadly many people will keep falling for these types of adds.
I don't know about you but another thing I have noticed is a lot of x breeds are going for higher prices and I do think that before long they are all going to have fancy new names for these x breeds like dogs and they too will start to be much highly thought after and then the prices of them will go up and then there will be an increase in rescue of them sad but very true

Gosh - that is so OBVIOUSLY a stunning NEWW colour patten in the Ragdoll (and face shape, conformation etc) - I wonder why the GCCF forgot to tell us all that this was now the new ragdoll shape and colour! I may need to email the seller and ask?

I know - it is frightening now how many unregistered "pedigree" kits there are around and as you say the prices they charge....

Hi Viv - I am fine. I have been around but sometimes I just lurk

Yes, the kit is mega cute but the ad is misleading.

Very much so it is a shame there is no one to show up this ad for what it is someone trying to scam unsuspecting new owners

Set up costs would be cheap! However, the ad seems to have gone for the moment - so I might have missed my chance!

Well I did report it and suggest they change the wording to Ragdoll crosses so will see if it reappears. And to think you could have been at the forefront of the new colour and style of Ragdoll
