I got into kittycats almost a year ago. I've started out just as having a few as pets and that escalated into having many as pets. I went a bit overboard and am now actually having to sale many of them because my husband and I just don't have the room. I didn't know much about them besides that they were cute and sweet and I loved to interact with them. I even started where I buy older cats, turn them into perma pets, and give them away as gifts to friends. I have gotten many friends hooked on these lovable furballs that way.

It has been a very slow learning process for me. I've just barely opened up a small cart of my own cats about a week ago. I charge according to how many traits I count and I make sure it is accurate to the best of my knowledge. My biggest issue is I'm shy and this is just a small hobby I want to have fun with. I haven't pinpointed any particular combination of traits I want to work with. I have three favorite breeds and those are what I breed and sale. Simple as that.

I'm still very unsure about myself when it comes to breeding and selling kittycats. I've read everything in this forum and all the note cards I've been passed over the past months comparing and trying to learn as much as I can. I finally just jumped in and got my feet wet because the only way I'm going to learn the rest is by actually doing it and I know that. Before I was just so scared to even try because I didn't want to botch things up. Here is my point...in order to learn we must actually take action, we must make mistakes, and we must learn from them as we go along. Of course it is important to do homework and read to get an idea of what the whole concept of kittycats is, but until actual action is taken than what is read is just speculation we have to mull over in our brains.

I've always found that actual experience is what makes the best teacher. We all have to begin somewhere and sometimes we are bound to make mistakes. It takes time to build experience and actual knowledge from doing. It takes time to build a name from something that began as nothing. In the process kindness, help, and understanding is what can push new comers in the right direction.

I can understand the frustrations, but I can also understand we all begin with nothing in which we make something. It is a learning process.

I have to agree with Crepe Myrtle. Everything she expressed was well said.
