Kitty pricing!

[Ehcoe Resident]

I will begin by explaining that I'm a very shy person who tends to keep to myself most of the time besides my husband.

When I discovered kittycats I fell in love. In real life I adore cats, and these little pixel cats are something special that really just always brings a smile to my face. It doesn't matter if they are all genesis traits or the most sought after traited cat around. I love them all because I think each are unique and beautiful in their own way just as human beings are. With that being said I will point out we are a diverse lot.

I can't really own to being accepted or part of the kittycat community since I stick to my kittycats, my personal goals regarding my kittycats, my small cart, and the fun I have discovering a cat I can't live without. I have done and still do a lot of reading on kittycats within these forums so I can learn as much as I can about breeding them. It is a rare occasion I will comment in the forums because as a few others have stated I haven't felt all that welcome in the community at times. I will say I have had nothing but positive experiences when dealing with the kittycat staff though! They are great!

I don't breed kittycats that have the newest or most desired traits. I breed kittycats with traits that I find appealing. My project isn't even that significant other than to myself in the fact I'm trying to get a combination of traits that I want really badly in a single kitten. I only breed one kittycat couple at a time since this is all I can afford, and besides I really like to think what my next move will be to refine my goal in pulling the traits I desire out of my cats. I'm sure my project won't be worth much to anyone else, but me. I don't mind that because I breed what makes me happy. I have a small cart I keep up with a few cats I'm selling and if others find as much joy in them as I do that is wonderful. If they don't that is alright to. I stick to a small budget so I don't get out of hand because I'm somewhat addicted to kittycats.

I put a lot of time and effort into my kittycats, but I'm not going to charge insane prices for them. I usually charge 50L per trait. I find that more than fair. Sometimes I also have a weekend sale where I do put them lower. Not because I'm trying to get them out and sold, but because I find it fun to shake things up a bit. This is my choice. I also sometimes give away kittycats as gifts to friends. I've gotten a lot of friends hooked on kittycats this way.

The point of my post is simple. Kittycats are something that are sweet and fun; and breeding, selling, and collecting them should embody that. It should be something we enjoy. It shouldn't get to the point where someone is called out for this or shamed publicly for that. Talk to the person privately, but to publicly hint by sending out little jabs at someone is petty. I'm sorry, but it is. I'm not addressing anyone in particular. I'm just sharing my thoughts on this thread.

If you see someone you feel isn't charging enough for their kittycats, don't purchase a cat from them. Same if you feel they charge too much. It really is that simple. Economy's fluctuate.

I'm not saying it is the greatest thing to be selling a kittycat for 30L, but it is the seller's choice to do so if that is what they feel they want to do. Just as it is the buyer's right to refuse to purchase from that seller.

This is supposed to be a community of people and sometimes it feels very cold to me. I find that sad since we are all unique and beautiful in our own way like the kittycats we love so much. We do have that in common. Our passion for kittycats should reflect in how we treat one another because this is a common ground we all share.

Again all of this is a very generalized use of "you" and "we" so please remember I'm not pointing any fingers or berating anyone. I just feel at times it is easy to lose sight of what really matters when tempers rise. Treating ourselves and one another with respect is the most important thing in any community. At least in my opinion it is.
