I often find that I am defending myself when it come to the way I keep my cats. In breeding circles I hear wow, they are so well kept and spoiled. Outside of the hobby I get asked do they ever get to go outside?, do they live their life in a cage?, do these ones get to come in the house? And its a struggle because my heart wants the very best life for my cats and the judgements really bring out th...

I am really hoping this one will get some discussions going so feel free to comm...

We judge cats by Phenotype and not by Genotype. What does that even mean. I know if you go to enough shows you will hear these words. Let me explain them in a super basic way for you.

Breeding cats is all about timing. You need to wait for certain things to line up at the right time in order to have a successful mating and then a successful litter.

Have a listen to this episode of the podcast to find out!
