Smokey was a total lap cat/people cat. Get out a hand vacuum and he'd be right there to get vacuumed. He loved stuff like that. I was lucky to have a good persian. I've seen some that are total stuck up snobbykitties.
I've done the breeder thing too, but only one litter back about 10 years ago. To get my female Pixie Bob I had to agree have a litter with the male of the breeder's choice and give her the best female kitten back. Luckily the whole thing with smoothly and momma cat knew by instinct what to do. She has 6 and we were prepared to end up losing a couple, but they all survived. I wasn't meant to be a breeder though... I kept 4 of the 6 babies who are all 10 years old now.

That's how I am and why I have so many, I couldn't part with them when I got them. I didn't even let Jordis have a little until she was nearly 2, and all of them went to family and good friends I KNEW would take care of them. I didn't have the heart to sell them to god knows who or send them to god knows what. just couldn't do it. This was Jordis' last litter anyway. The last one was supposed to be the last, she had a rough time with that one too and it passed away, so we were on our way to get her fixed when she got pregnant.
I am just not cut out for this, if something happens to them, I am too heartbroken to handle it, and I can't bear to give or sell them to someone, like I said, that I don't know. SO..... THAT experiment died right in the water.... none of that for me. And after today, ALL of them are taking their turns at the Vet to get fixed, i cannot put any of them or my family thru anymore of this, it just hurt and was too damn scarey.
I want a Dominant Calico Persian so bad, I'll just have to go out and BUY one.......
