More Cancellations .... what's going on breeders ??

[Lana Mathilde]

I've been breeding for 8 months and going wayyy over budget on food and all, and I still don't feel confident enough to put my kitties into auction because I very rarely have a 9T cat. I have only a handful of 8T cats, but most of my cats are 6T or less including my fun sized. I accidently sold a 9+1 scotty for 500 at my store the other day. That would have been a good auction cat, and i think the buyer has already left to the bahamas.

I agree about the autions being elitist, but I use the term in a different way. I have never felt unwelcomed at an auction, nor has anyone been unkind, but there is a certain air of guitar shapes wait at the door.

So I encourage autioneers and event managers to mix it up with different themes, you can be creative. for example, auction a cat with the best hiding traits, all history included (more than the website pedigree) or auction only retired traits, or auction only genesis furs but all other traits allowed etc. you never know what someone is looking for, you can get rid of more cats and people can find cats they never could buy before.
