I think why I have such an addiction to older kittycats is because of my old sweet girl who passed and the fact that my husband and I never adopt young kittens in real life. It is always an older cat because they need loving homes too and we prefer them. They are awesome!
I bought and immediately permapetted my little teacup Tigre Le Blanc, Nala (see my profile pic), when she was over 250 days old, and she's turning 1 year old today. Yay!! That was the first time I bought an older kitty, and I absolutely love her!
Since then, I have found that while I like breeding non-costumed cats, I prefer buying older collectibles, and then permapetting them rather than buying the newest ones and spending all the time and resources to pull out their hidden traits, etc. This is especially true for sick cats that need a new home as I also feel good about healing them. I'm having to cut back, budget-wise, on making new permas, but one of the nice things about already having several already is that you know you will always be able to afford them without having to worry about them ever getting sick (again).
