*hugs* Anna and Kay! Thank you for your kind words
We still love doing the auctions and having fun. We get so excited seeing new traits even still!
What I've always done when I got stressed out or upset about what people say or do in the community is to just look into those cute little kitty faces and remember that's what we're doing it for. They're little works of art that we get to interact with and customize. Sometimes we can make a little money, sometimes not. But I've definitely made a lot of friends and adorable kitties along the way.
It's also fun to me to see new people come along and discover the magic for themselves. I remember the rush of getting out recessive traits for the first time. Heck, I still get a thrill when I get a new trait out of a starter, or a line I've had forever suddenly busts out with something I didn't expect!
It's good to have new people with the energy and drive to carry the torch to tell even newer breeders how it works.
