RE: About Kittycats and their prices.
You guys aren't accounting for that the Balinese is the most recessive known fur as of now - having that kind of trait makes it a premium breed no matter what the cost. I am offended that you think it'll be worth 500L a month from now, when reality it'll probably be like Aby B&S when the market price for that cat went from like 50k to 5k since November. That's a 4-5 month decline. I think you'll see roughly a 15% depreciation per month on this breed considering it's placeholder on the recessive scale.
The issue with the market is frankly unless you have the most recessive of traits on your kitties, your cats won't be valued as much. A shorty tail, ody ear no. 1, ilume shade, rounded ear cat would be much more valued than a cat that's 9T myst/curious. The most "rare" or "unobtainable" objects in life are always considered the most premium, that's just how the market mechanics for kittycats works and there doesn't seem to be a change happening any time soon.
My only gripe with traits is the over-saturation of eyes, there's so many different recessive eye traits now that unless the eyes are on a recessive fur, especially with the release of the fruit/valentines eyes, it's hard to label what's considered valuable versus mediocre. But aesthetically eyes obviously give KittyCats plenty of character which is valued among collectors.
It's a tough game, trying to play the secondary market - however if you love KittyCats and you enjoy this game, you'll find a way to keep costs even.
