After reading all of the post so far, I know I am in the right place. I feel I belong here and feel very welcomed. I have known bad breeders and have seen what they can produce. My cattery is my home. My cats are part of my family, not just breeding stock. Yes I have fur everywhere, but with all the cats I have, and most are spayed or neutered, there will be fur. My litters are kept in a bedroom, yes with cages which are at least 5' wide by4' deep by 4' high. because I have had kittens moved and when old enough to move around they have wiggled in some strange places. But when they are 4 weeks old they are allowed to roam around during the day and back in at night with mom. Then at around six weeks they have free roam of the room. And at 8 weeks after their first booster shots the screen door goes up and they can meet the rest with the screen door in place. I handle the kittens from they day they are born and everyday after that. Some like it some doin't oh well I am the mom. By the time they are 4 weeks old they are use to being handled and they don't mind being held, I hold them laying on their backs rubbing their tummies. right side up everyway that is possible. I am always in the kitten room taking pictures, just laying on the floor watching them in their play and development. That is how I see if everything is going good. I can also see if there is a problem. Medically or what. Well that is enough for now. I have 2 litters due one mid Dec and mic Jan. Will keep you posted if you would like to hear about the progress.
