(I believe a cat doesn't have to have a high number of traits to be beautiful and intentionally breed Domino IV's & Coco IV's for this reason, but also breed some lines of 9Ts.)
I thought of the group, but also wasn't sure if the chat that we are talking about would fit. If it does, that would save some of us a group slot, but we'd be talking about how many traits a cats has all the time.
Here's a real and perfect example of why it may not fit Affordable Kitties:
I breed Genesis Coco IVs to sell in the L$99 range for people who are just looking for a cute and cuddly pet (like me when I started) and I don't try to trait them up. But I've discovered Double Plush whiskers hidden in that line... on low T Coco IVs. Now I don't feel right selling them for L$99, but I've had to slash prices on other special whiskers which were on very low T kitties, and I don't know if people are still paying any more for them if them are on a low T cat, etc.
Is that conversation that would be okay on Affordable Kitties? Ditto for talking about how much a particular new trait or uber special kitty went for at auction, etc
MsMagick, I am a co-founder of "Affordable Kitties" and actually it's okay to chat in this group about absolute everything related to KittyCats. We welcome all opinions and ideas and hoped that members would use the group for non-restricted talk about prices, breeding, searching for a cat, asking questions or even just tell how much they are in love with their fur sweeties. So all you mentioned above would be ok to talk about in "Affordable Kitties" chat.
We called the group "Affordable Kitties" because we wanted to give beginners, kitty hoarders, small breeders and sellers a portal that we felt was missing in the secondary market. We felt that people who sold and bought low priced kittes were not very welcomed by some breeders/sellers who had strong rules about for how much lindens you should sell a kitty with so and so much traits. That is why we say that we don't count traits and that everybody should be allowed to sell their kitties at whatever price they find fit.
Only when it comes to advertising in the chat or via notecards we ask our members not to advertise for high priced kitties. There are so many other groups where they can do that. Apart from that - everything is allowed.
Kitty Groups - What do we have and do we need a new one?
