So Much for That...

     I won't be meeting my future kitten today.  The breeder has...issues.  To Wit, "I just dont (sic) feel comfortable selling a kitten to someone who cant give me a decent reference and has no other way of verifying who they are."  Now, apparently, this woman has 2 criteria, one of which must be met for a reference to be "decent:" a)it be from a veterinarian or b)it be on Facebook.  Well, those of you who know my opinion on Facebook will know that if that is a "decent" reference, that I am happy being positively indecent.
     My response was "I have lived and worked in the country for 6 years, with multiple co-workers and employers as references. In addition,  and more importantly, I have a member of the Clerk of the Courts from Edinburgh Chambers who was my reference for my citizenship.  I will take her reference over ANY vet.  It's your time and baby, and off course your choice. I just hope that you open your mind before you keep any more animals from a good home. "
     She DID recommend a kitten from an ad online.  The recommendation also tells something about her.  You see, I was trying to reserve her pedigree kitten.  She recommended a moggy.  Back-handed way of saying that I am not good enough for a pureblood?  I have nothing against Moggies.  ALL of my preveious cats have been moggies.  I was just going to see how the purebred Norweigian Forest Cat side of the fence was.  I guess not today...
