It seems that certain cats (projects) will only always give one gender. It took me 2 months of breeding before I ever got a female snowshoe red so as you can imagine it takes the joy out of breeding for your dream cat because you will never be able to breed in those traits without getting a male & female kitten pair. Along with not knowing the gender before unboxing, and the 30 minutes wait time, it certainly makes you want to quit sometimes out of pure frustration and anger at all the useless boxes, wasted breeding time and money down the drain. Tongue

PS. I know I am not an isolated case as Ive also heard other breeders saying the same thing about certain lines only producing one gender.

This is exactly the type of problem I experience, Khea, at least in part. My tawny line produces boy after boy after boy after boy. I've resorted to buying girls and to breeding in some of my Black Russians (which tends heavily toward girls, tho not as badly as it used to) and then crossing them back in and pulling the tawny back out. It makes it incredibly frustrating at times.

I've given up on my Aby Lilacs. I love this coat, but no matter what I tried, even using some of my black females to produce more via hoping to get the aby lilac over the black, every box that would further my line was a boy. I'm sending all my remaining lilacs to kitty playground this week. It didn't matter whether I was on my old months-long boy streak or my current month-or-more girl streak, this has pretty much always held true in those lines since I started trying to establish them.
