I am a breeder and feel that there has been enough man made breeds like the Ocicat, the snowshoe, and the himalayan for a few. What happens with the kittens that may not turn out right or deformed. Do you create a new breed from that like the munchkins. The persains went to the extreme with the flat face. siamese with the fine boning, sphynx with no fur. I remember when the persians had a beautiful face and a muzzle, Siamese had an apple head and they were not long lean and with very fine boning. You can try to take all the traits for the best of cats and end up with a frankinkitty. I would like to have a sound and healthy kitten where I know it back ground that it parents and grands are alive and healthy. That there are no major health issues. But what I would love to see is that all kitties have homes that they can live in and not the outside. That disease will be a thing of the past and it will be old age that our cats pass away from. Not by dogs, cars, foxes, and ect. I test and test and test my breeding stock yearly and check up before and when the kittens are ready to leave for the females and males in my house. Who ever said breeding makes money can come is wrong unless you are a back yard breeder. Well that is more than my $.02 worth.
