I love that idea!!!
Like many here, I'm getting to the point where I have to make decisions. I have 18 cats at the moment - far more than I ever imagined I would keep - and 6 of them are nearing the 120 days... now I've put a few cats to the menagerie before, but I have to admit that I'm extremely sqeamish about that. I think that's just another evidence of how extremely well made these kitties are, and how attached one can get to them! I wouldn't want that to be otherwise - but I also want to open new boxes and breed - so I will have kill a few off soon to make space - if I want to keep a group, there's no way I can afford to perma-pet 6 now, let alone those I would like to keep who are now about 60 days old... and so on... and so forth....
If they'd automatically went perma - maybe perma and no transfer - when 120 days old, as a friend suggested when I talked to her about it, I would keep them in inventory and get a few out in turns, as well as breeding and buying new ones.
