big beauties! and HOW MUCH?? £12,000?!! woah - balls pet indeed. I guess you can walk them on a lead like a dog ... to save buying an ENORMOUS cat litter tray!

You're echoing my thoughts. On the one hand - kitties! On the other - these are supposed to be pets! For $22000, they'd want to be one heck of a cat. And what's with the gene monitoring? What does that mean for a cat that fails the test? Are they discarded like slow greyhounds to scientific experiments?
And you'd never be able to let a cat like that roam around in the backyard, let alone be free to wander the neighbourhood as it pleases. The financial loss if it was stolen would be devastating.

Oh the mandatory spay is pretty standard amongst reputable breeders here. It prevents you using their bloodlines for your own profit - and also ensure you don't turn any of their females into kitten factories. If you want to buy a cat to breed, the price is a LOT higher than if you want one for a pet.

But yeah, cuddling up to one would be nice, as long as it was a cuddly cat. :)

Dude. I'm with you on that one. Gorgeous!
