I had emailed the breeder early this week to see if I could come and pick the kitten up this weekend, since I found out my cousin would be available and figured out that there's a train that goes to the town where my cousin lives so I could take the train there and then he could drive me up to Indiana to get the kitten. I thought this would be acceptable to the breeder since she had mentioned before about picking up the kitten 2 weeks ago, so I assumed this meant it was ok if *I* picked up the kitten, that she just did not want to have my cousin who she has never spoken to pick him up. I assumed this because she was talking about how I could pick him up that weekend in Jan. when she knew that my brother was not available at all in January, so I thought this meant it was ok for me to pick him up, and I figured the breeder maybe could email a copy of the contract for my brother to sign and then I could bring that along with the rest of the purchase price when I picked up the kitten, and she could explain the paperwork to me and/or over the phone to my brother...
The reason I had not emailed her for a while is I was trying to get ahold of my cousin first to find out if he was free this weekend and if he would be willing to have me stay with him overnight after I took the train down, and then drive back up with me...so I was waiting for his reply before emailing the breeder... I was kinda annoyed about her the tone of the email she sent, the part about not hearing from me, when I had several times before where I did not recieve replies to questions I asked her for quite a while, including never recieving updated photos of the kitten after she said she would send them...
Here's the message I got from the breeder--
I havenâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t heard from you in almost 2 weeks and I have already made plans for the weekend. Can you please clarify who the kitten will be living with? If it is your brother, he really needs to pick up the kitten in person so that I may go over paperwork and he may sign the sales agreement. I have February 3-4 open, so please let me know if he can come down for the kitten at that time, if not I will return his deposit on this kitten, because I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t feel like this is going to work out.
