Ok guys....im getting way to attached to these guys-especially Cash. He's only 3 weeks old but these pictures show how friendly he is. As soon as he hears my voice he stops whatever he's doing and comes over to me. The photo's show me sitting in his play area. The pink fabric is my pants and im taking pictures of my lap.
Cash comes over to me and sits by my leg


Then he starts licking my hand


then he climbs up


next he takes a look around


and finally he's all comfy and asleep in my lap!

What a cutie-pie! You had better be careful, or you'll have a new family member!

Yes I am on cloud 9-untill I have to sell them that will be a sad ,sad day! I thought I would be able to handle this but im starting to think otherwise. What the heck did I get myself into????? I have to handle them in order to get them social with people so it's not like I can just avoid them untill they are 12 weeks and ready for a new home.
I think it is not a stretch to say that I will be pretty picky about who i'll let purchase these guys.

Good for you we want them to have the best home possible because they are gorgeous! I couldn't be a breeder for that reason I would keep them all! LOL

Yes I am planning on keeping one but I really can't keep a boy I don't have any girls to breed him with. And if I keep a boy it would probably be Sirabi because he really is an exceptional looking boy-maybe show quality. Uggh it's so hard to decide. Maybe no one will buy him and then i'll have to keep him

Thanks! Yes he does have really nice markings! Nice big donut rosettes (well starting to rosette). My first litter and oh so proud (especially of momma cat for being such a good momma).

so very cute . It must be hard to say goodbye to your kittens. But did you say that that there is a female that you will be keeping out of this litter. If so she will make it easyier for you.

Yes most likely i'll be keeping Cookie but im really attached to Cash-I'll probably have to try and hold her more often so I can get more attached to her.

If you love Cash and find it hard to sell him, why not keep him as a pet? I mean you can neuter him and keep him in the house and he won't spray nor will he try to get a female pregnant. I mean if you sell him, I'm sure you'll want the buyer to neuter him, so why not you keep him as a loving pet, that way you can still keep another kitten for your breeding program.

I just can't do that-if I start doing that my house will turn into a zoo I just can't keep all the cats I fall in love with. In a perfect world that would be great but it just won't work (not to mention my husband would kill me). Also, I need to recoup some of my monetary losses, it is expensive to be a breeder, I won't even break even having 2 litters per year of 4 cats each even if im selling 3 from each litter that's only 6 cats per year. And to add to that if I keep a girl im going to have to wait at least a year for her to get old enough and purchase another boy for her to mate with so that's going to be expensive too. I breed because I love the breed and love having the finest cats but I just can't let meyself get so attached that im neutering and keeping them. I apprecieate your suggestion though. I just am finding myself in a dilemma that I know i'd better get a grip on now.
