    mick ...so sorry to hear your sad tale ....some people can be so mean minded , it is obvious from your posts on here how much you care about your brood ...focus on the positives , i have the most amazing boy who was the only survivor of an early litter, he is now a healthy 18 month old happy loving ( unless im trying to groom his undercarriage) fur baby. Good luck with your tortie baby.

    How charming someone can be so mean when you have had the devastating loss of a litter. They must feel great and so much superior as a breeder. Forget them. move on with your grief and in time have many happy, healthy litters.

    Once upon a time, not so long ago, there was a breeder on here who quite frankly was so superior as to be vile to other breeders and novice MC owners alike. Thankfully she is gone.

    There will always be mean spirited people. As long as you know you are doing the best, forget the rest excepting professional advice.

    Mick,
    Your post is incredibly sad. So sorry for the loss of your kittens - and lets just hope that tortie girl continues to win through and provides comfort for her mum. I'm sure what happened to you could so easily have happened to any breeder. I can only imagine how you must be feeling. Hopefully forum members can provide at least some words of comfort during this time. Victoria x

    That's a horrible thing to happen. This in no way sounds like you're a "bad breeder", it sounds like this other breeder jumped to a conclusion without thinking or having all the facts. If the litter just didn't develop properly due to whatever medical reason, then there's nothing that could have been done to prevent their demise. That's how things work with genetics, no one can predict what's going to happen.

    The adage: "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" was made before the internet and it's demons known as trollers and flamers.

    I have felt your internet pain, Mick.

    When people are anonymous, they often feel enabled to be very nasty and dastardly at sporting events, on the freeways, and the internet. In person, they probably would be too gutless to say what they said to you.

    The last part of this article might be helpful > http://digitallife.today.com/_news/2012/10/13/14421580-top-10-ways-to-deal-with-the-internets-biggest-morons

    I can totally understand if you delay announcements on future litters on your site or contact interest people privately.


    Sort of related is this video of a teen that was cyber-bullied to the point she took her life last week. Yes, she made some foolish decisions, but does it merit her being run out of town?

    I'm sorry to hear of your loss, it's so devastating to lose a kitten and must have been terrible seeing them all fade. Sometimes nature just isn't on our side.

    I hope little tortie fights on through, they are known to be feisty!!

    So sorry to read this Mick,for your sadness in loosing babes but so angry on your behalf that another breeder could be so nasty,I bet whoever it is couldn't "stand in a glass greenhouse"....
    The main reason I wouldn't take up the chance of breeding from my last girl was because I have seen the tragic consequences that come from it,loosing a well loved pet {because to the good breeders that's what they are} from complications to also loosing babes both in the same situation as yours & suddenly a few days on for no apparent reason.
    I admire the good breeders who give & do so much to provide us with our favourite breed,only wish everyone would be more careful where the furry came from but I know from just what you have put on here I am right behind you Mick & I am sure your reward this time is going to be a very feisty tortie girl,now that one will be a very special bundle for someone....xxx
