Regretfully photos can be misleading as is the case here and i apologise for any expense you have incurred concerning Rasputin's registration, however with reference to your latest post, i actually said "I think he is a blue silver", i then asked you to take a look at his father on my site to compare the colour, to which you agreed his colouring was the same (his father being blue silver tabby). When you emailed to say you would have registered him as a silver classic tabby you were refering to what he was recorded as on his pedigree and contract, not that you were in disagreement with what we were both at the time agreeing to. As i have already mentioned in my first post, your statement is misleading and unfair as to the actual events leading up to Rasputin being registered as a blue silver tabby. I do not wish to continue this pointless discussion, however i hope you will carry on to keep me updated on Rasputin's health, development and any future concerns you may have.

Having read all this could I suggest a bit of mediation and that perhaps an agreement could be reached with regards to costs as a gesture of goodwill? As the breeder I believe that you should really have known the colour of you own kitten and registered as such; colour of parents is not really a good indicator so this should have been checked properly.

This is just my opinion but given the previous great comments before this incident I think it would help x

Thanks catslave

Sueragdandy, thank you for your apology. I appreciate that you do not wish to continue this discussion however I do have to add that when I asked you the difference between silver and blue silver you said, "The markings will be black, he is like his dad, take a look at his dad."

I really don't think that particularly as a first time owner, the onus should've been on me to actively disagree with an experienced breeder.

I very much appreciate that the difference between blue silver and silver can be difficult to tell, particularly from photos however I would not have had an issue with the registration being the wrong colour had I not then been put in a position where I had to pay for the correction.

As I said in my earlier post, in all other ways you've been great however I think it may be beneficial to avoid future issues that you make it clearer on your site that you don't register the cats with any approved body, just provide the pedigree and signed certificate of mating so that a new owner car register if they choose and that you will not be held responsible for any registration errors should the new owner choose to register their cat, either under your prefix or not.
