I bought only a few permapets at first. But I fell in love with the tigers as soon as I saw them. I bought the most inexpensive boxes I could find--often costing only L$50--and manageried them. I was able to buy a tiger in no time. She was the first kitten box I birthed. I permapetted her too when she reached 120 days old, and little (tiger) Lily still stalks my flower garden. It was only later that I bought cats to breed, and partly because I enjoyed Lily's kittenhood.
So managerie cats are not available only to breeders.
5000KB worth of menagerie cats is most likely breeders. The average cat owner in a year doesn't come near 5000KB. But breeders do.

As KittyCatS 'players' it is in everyone's interest that surplus boxes should be destroyed (sent to the menagerie) in order to maintain a healthy secondary market. If it were not the fact that these Confetti kittens were so adorable, very few major breeders would be inclined to destroy huge numbers of their stock of boxes in order to get them, the secondary market would then be flooded with stock and we would all suffer.
So how does the non breeder get the Confetti cats? Yes destroy tons of surplus cats to get the Confetti, you get them breed them and sell to non breeders for profit. And the non breeders, the people who do not have tons to destroy, get what? They get to buy them from people who had excess cats to eliminate. They do not get the chance to buy them from kittycats, they are now at the whim of sellers who may charge exorbitant prices. Or in other words...unfair!
