Due to their reputation for being rather independent and, hence, requiring less care and companionship from their owners, cats are a popular choice for many pet owners. While this may be the case for some cats, it is most definitely not the case for all.

In fact, there is a great deal of variation in the temperaments, activity levels, and personalities of cats throughout breeds and types as well as amongst people. When one discovers the price tags on purebred kittens, eyebrows frequently shoot up in surprise.

Many people believe that raising these gorgeous cats is a fast path to financial success and a gold mine. But nothing could be further from reality than this.

There are many people in the cat breeding industry who have a strong affection for these magnificent animals. For them, breeding is about more than just creating kittens to sell; it's also about maintaining and improving breed-specific traits, making sure every cat is healthy and happy, and giving back to the greater feline community.

It's a journey that calls for commitment, ongoing education, and a considerable financial outlay. Every kitten's price tag conceals a tale of many hours of work, never-ending research, and sleepless nights spent making sure every cat gets the greatest care possible.



Here's the post

In the realm of purebred cats, breeding aims to maintain and improve particular traits unique to the breed. It's important to produce high-quality kittens that meet the standards of the breed, not just as many as possible.

Let's see what other Redditors have to say

Upon first appearance, one may assume that breeding consists of nothing more complicated than letting two cats mate and then selling their kittens. But the core of professional breeding is not captured by this oversimplified perspective.

This person needs to understand that these type of cats cannot be free and they certainly cannot come cheap. More comments lies below so you can keep scrolling to check them out.

Understanding the love and passion breeders have for their profession is crucial before delving into the expenses and labor involved. They are custodians of the breed, making sure that every generation is healthier, happier, and more in line with the breed standard.

They are not just sellers, so you can't walk in and expect them to offer you a purebred for free. Nope, it definitely doesn't work that way.
