Hi everyone!
It's time (well, actually, it's past time, but RL hasn't been co-operating lol) for me to welcome you all to the newest Instructional Breeding Project! This will be the third one (the first was done by Wendi, with a bit of support from Sanura and myself, back in May of 2013 (
http://kittycats.biz/forum/showthread.php?tid=9122), while the second started last September
http://kittycats.biz/forum/showthread.php?tid=18240). The project has been our attempt to help de-mystify working with a starter, as well as maybe hitting on a few other aspects of KittyCatS! breeding along the way.
This will follow a similar format to the previous 2 projects. I already have a starter (Meridel) and a partner for her (Lin) ready to go (in fact, Meridel should drop her first box in a couple of days). In the next post (which should be Saturday), I will give you my take on these two cats, and talk a bit about working with starters. After that, I will post the results of each breeding, along with a detailed explanation of what I think happened and where to go from here, as well as talking about things like choosing a partner for a starter, breeding techniques, etc. It will give you a bit of insight into how one breeder thinks when working with a starter. Feel free to make comments or ask questions as we once again embark on this journey of virtual feline trait discovery!
So, get out that bag of popcorn (or kibble, or whatever), and enjoy the ride!
