Spay/Neuter rant

That sounds more like the breeder was not spending the necessary time with them. I don't believe F1s NEED to be bottlefed, unless maybe if the mom was Serval not the dad. After all, if momma cat is a domestic cat, why would they not do as well being with her until weaning like other domestic kittens? They should learn from their mama that humans are good things! As long as the breeder spends good amounts of time with a litter when being nursed and when weaned, they should be fine. Only one of the F1s I have had was bottlefed and the others raised on mama, and the bottled F1 is not more cuddly than the others.

I would question the sociability of the mother of that F1 AND the amount of human socialization that kitten got before he came to you. I think the main use of bottle-feeding in that scenario is that it at least means the breeder is in contact with the kittens at least twice a day for bottle feeding I guess...

Hi Brigitte...I don't think any of these breeders cats had any socialization! Other clients had the same problem as me! Hopefully my next one will be alright...

I agree with B. If we produced F1s, I'd only bottle if necessary for the babies health.

That's horriblethat you received an unsocial baby though :-(

It's also something I am very proud of as I got a point on the scoreboard of who outsmarted who.

Uh huh. Believing your own bullsh*t are you?

I agree with Brigitte, in fact I am adamantly against bottle feeding unless it is necessary for the survival of the kitten(s), otherwise there is just no good reason to take kittens away from their momma, who is going to teach them how to socialize with humans, use the litter box, and eat solid food, just to name a few vital milestones in a kitten's development.
