Kitty pricing!

[Oselkhandro Resident]

I started breeding KittyCatS just a few months ago, when I got a Firestorm cat and an Advent cat. I was hooked instantly (I grew up in a home with 5 cats). In RL I am a marketing professor, so I knew from the start that breeding kitties to sell would not be a sustainable business since the supply of new kitten boxes FAR outstrips the demand. However, I very much admire the creativity of the KC people, who have incorporated principles of Gamification into their business to create a habituating, fun and engaging hobby for so many of us (in fact, I have been using KittyCatS as an example in my Consumer Behavior classes). Unfortunately, the price for a kitten box will be determined by demand; 100L 9Ts are the result. I wonder, though, if there might be other ways to create a market for "desirable" cats. In RL, people breed for beauty and perfection of the breed. I would LOVE it if we had "cat shows" with qualified judges who might look at kitties based upon the aesthetics of the trait combinations and the purity of the line (rather than just looking for the newest traits). I would be willing to pay more for a truly beautiful combination than I would for an unattractive kitty with new traits. This might open up a range of possibilities with older traits and forgotten traits.
