How do you find your kitty?

[Malayaa Resident]

Hi,
Most of the kitties I buy are at auctions, or off the love tables when I realize I don't have a good mate or "trait poker" for a kitty that is special and ready to kitten. I have had fairly good success in using the area search to find specific traits by name. There are also several awesome breeders that I know always have interesting kitties or use line breeding, and I will go to their stores to window shop and sometimes buy. My notices are all turned off due to spam and IM overload, but I do like checking out the kitties posted in the forum for sale. I don't buy off the bid boards too often, mostly because of the time constraints conflicting with real life work...but I look at the new traited cats there and try to get an idea of how dominant the new stuff is (research lol).

It seems to me (as a seller) that a small selection of well displayed live cats in the very front of a shop sell better than items in the back or when there is a lot of visual clutter (like a gazillion boxes with a lot of text), but have not figured out how to offer kitty buyers lots of choices without.....lots of boxes lol. The central kitties for sale -search database concept would be awesome if it ever came to fruition with the right business model but there are so many complications I can see why we don't have one...
