Summer...

[JC Aferdita]

I don't close my shop or menagerie my cats in the summer, why would I? If you choose to do that, that is up to you. But I know I don't, because people do buy cats during the summer too. If you just close up and menagerie all your cats you are the one quitting summer. Not the people that keep on going.

It's not a 'accept things as they are' it's more that we are trying to explain to you why things are like this. A pair of cats can breed for 4 months, if you are a small-sized breeder you might not have a lot of pairs out. Then you either do one of two things, you breed your pairs for those 4 months and then open up the babies to breed them. Slowly work on your breedingline. Or you will breed a pair until you get two cats you like of opposite genders, menagerie the parents and go for the babies. This can take up to 4 months (this also applies to backbreeding when breeding against a parent, it can take up to 4 months to get the baby of right gender and traits). As a small breeder you might only go through 2 generation, possibly 3. Unless you have very kind cats giving you exactly what you want on their two first breeds. So to smaller sized breeders, 6 months, it's nothing. Kittycats isn't all about the breeders that have 400 pairs breeding and can open up every box right away to breed.
