The Painted Kitten by Kitails To see all the Kitails Siberian Mugs at Zazzle.com click here: zazzle.com/PatriciaMcKissick* The sale of these mugs helps to pay for cat food, litter, cleaning supplies, and medical expenses. Breeding alone will never pay for all these expenses.

Life of a Breeder Breeding is not easy. It is a lot of work!!! It is expensive and you may not make much of a profit but, go into a lot of debt. Monies made will barely cover your food bills at times. People will gripe about the cost of a kitten and expect you to spend a lot of money on health care, so they can get a perfectly healthy kitten. It is frustrating at times. It is a lot of dirty work and may destroy some of your property and make your house stink. You can get scared up from scratches. It is time consuming and will tie you down every day with work. There are no days off as breeder. The animals need daily care and will sometimes keep you up all night and running to the vet for emergency and other care. You will need genetic knowledge, medical knowledge, animal care knowledge, and salesman ship skills. You will have to test people for allergies, answer tons of emails, and have your phone ring off the hook. You will work all hours of every day. Not to mention building a web site, maintaining it, keeping books for tax purposes, filling out forms, dealing with those who are trying to scam you or waste your time. There are blue papers, pedigrees, and cattery registrations to pay for. People like to buy kitten from show lines, so there more money going out to get the titles, along with the risk of bringing something home from the show. You will need a contract drawn up. Your breeding cats will need testing for various diseases and yearly check-ups. There are yearly shots due for them and sometimes they will die in labor or from some other illness. You will watch a kitten die every now and then. You will spend money trying to help any sick or injured kittens. People will expect you to be totally honest with them about the health of a kitten while some may not be so honest with you about various things. You may have kittens returned to you and monies to refund or court cases to pursue. There is grooming: brushing, teeth, and nails.  Lastly a situation with a breeder can turn bad. If you place your kitten with them and they don't take care of them you will feel horribly guilty for trusting them to begin with. What if their breeding program turns into a kitten mill? People say they value their animals but, when it comes to spending money to buy them, most want to get away with as little money as possible. The reality is that breeders do not have enough money for basic care because people want cheap pets that cost a LOT of MONEY to raise. In order for a breeder to servive and breed most work two jobs!!! They breed and work another job. One job to support themselves and the cats with, the breeding money also going to support the cats. A typical kitten should cost around $2,000. This would give a breeder enough money for medical care, food, grooming supplies, cleaning supplies, maintance of cat scratches, toys, show money, money for registration papers, ect. This would give us, breeders working one job and having more time for cat duties. It would also cut down on the amount of kitten mills and animals bought and thrown away.  In the U.S.A. right now there are 5 animals to every one man, women, and child. People don't always have a true commitment to their pets. Breeders are blamed for the FACT that owners do not keep and take care of their pets for life. If you don't breed and place kittens responsibly you will ad to throw away kittens and cats and the death of some because owners may not follow through and take care of them. They will leave their responsiblity on someone, with animal  paying the price of life in shelter- often with its life.
