RE: What makes a cat pricey?
I was advised by many people to breed what you like - it was ultimately more rewarding. This does not always transfer into sales though as "what you like" varies from person to person. I totally agree with Kay on the hidden traits - I've managed to get a few very recessive furs by laboriously breeding offspring until I finally get the desired result. Traits are of course the same... then the pasting of the traits onto all the furs..then the getting multiple traits together.. it IS time (and kibble) consuming. So if someone has a cat for sale that can save you weeks of breeding it will be more expensive as they have (most likely) already done the work for you. I gotta say though that it is VERY rewarding to open that box and FINALLY have what you have been aiming for!
