The babies look cuter than cute! Especially the black smoke… almost what our Monty would look like with a perm.

But I’m curious … what exactly does this lady find cruel about the way you bred this litter? Because of the cross-breeding?
Dutch MC breeders frown upon cross-breeding. Something to do with keeping the breed intact. Seems fair enough to me. But I can’t imagine how cross-breeding could be cruel.

Hi Thanks they are so cute, it was not a Dutch person it was an English Breeder... who actually has no room to talk my girl was 4 and having her first litter her girls are 2 and 3 and on their third...


I know about the cross breeding and how it upsets people... but I did everything for these kittens I would one of my others... and at the end of the day they are both pedigree cats just not the same LOL And to be honest I would not be concerned if it happened again... they are not going in to the MC breed pool so who is it hurting!! ??

I get your point, there’s nothing wrong with mixing as long as it doesn’t adversely affect the cats’ health or the gene pool. (Besides, you create new varieties which can be very exciting.)
Thanks for the explanation.
