Thread: Waiting is so hard!

Hi Joy,

Whilst I’m not waiting any longer I can totally relate! When I was waiting for my baba I could hardly sleep with excitement.

2 weeks will fly by, not long now! x

I'm not waiting but I know 4 people who are

I try to make the wait easier by sending them photos every week and occasional videos. I really feel for a couple of them as they've been waiting for a kitten since last July :/

Mine were born 27th Jan so only 3 and a bit more weeks wait \o/

Yes, photos definitely help!! I think part of the reason why I am really struggling at the moment is because there have been no new photos for 3 weeks now. I really want to see some updated pics but also don't want to pester the breeder as I know she is really busy - so trying hard to be patient!

ps. had a look at your kitten page on your webite - it should come with an adorable-ness warning!! Particularly love 'Mr Sneaky'!! lol

They are all absolutely gorgeous! I do adore cream tho Waiting is awful ... but when he comes home the fun will start

I'm probably not going to win any friends amongst the breeders for this but...... I assume you are paying good money for your kitten so in my book it's not out of order to ask for updated pics as they change so much in 3 weeks it's unreal.

I know most people waiting for kittens aren't after "studio quality" pictures, they are usually just desperate to see how their kitty is developing which is totally understandable.

Sorry, I just have my stroppy head on today

Yes, I am paying very good money for my kitten!! Interesting to get a breeder's perspective on this - thanks.

What is the name of that lovely little bundle that you are waiting for...? I agree with a "stroppy head on " breeder that it wouldn't be wrong of you to ask for more frequent updates especially at this age as you wouldn't believe how much they change weekly,I still look back at my last babes pictures that the breeder did send through every week & I can't believe how much my girl has grown & now at 6 months she is already looking like a miniture adult so enjoy the anticipation of the next two weeks & have fun when he finally arrives,looking forward to seeing lots more photos....x

In this age of digital photography there no reason the breeder can't send you weekly pictures.
Just grab the camera and start taking pictures of the little imps.
Once they're uploaded to the computer sort them out and send off to the waiting new parents.
Should be considered part of the job, once the new parent has his furry bundle of joy he'll want another and will return to the breeder who was responsive to his needs.

Stormie, I think - not totally sure yet!

And yes, there will be lots of photos once he comes home!!

Thanks for all the lovely comments.
