I agree that the "trait tsunami" is a huge discouragement. I'd argue that it might be even more stressful on those of us in the lowly "non-top breeder" category, because we are facing a mountain of knowledge to climb in the first place, a long slog to a decent breeding base, and then to have the rug regularly yanked out from under us .... it's .... disconcerting.
Personally, I've kind of given up hope. I didn't even buy any Christmas cats. I haven't unboxed my pretty starry cat.

But I have to say my eyebrow did go up a bit here. Who do you think is buying the amazing cats the "elites" are turning out?
