Alright, I know that as kitten buyers, we are told to visit the cattery and try to see as much of the home as possible. We're told that we need to see the entire house to make sure that the cats are kept in good living conditions. We're told to be wary of the cattery that keeps you in one part of the house, or even refuses to let you inside.
Now that I'm preparing to enter the breeding side of things, I wonder how much of this advice is something breeders should be following. We don't live in a safe world anymore. As a lone female on my own, I don't want to let strangers into my home and give them full access to my house. I also don't want to find that I've let someone into my home that might try to use my cattery conditions against me, no matter how good or bad they might be. I also don't want people bringing in unwanted diseases that could hurt my cats
How do we let kitten buyers know that they are getting a healthy well-socialized cat without risking the safety of ourselves and our cats?
Just a thought. . .
