My first 'moment' was when I looked at pics of a brand new litter of F1s that I knew I wanted a kitten out of. I had waited almost a year for this litter to be born. At the time, I was expecting to get a boy because i only wanted a pet. The kittens were only a few days old in the pictures, so nothing special about any of them but my eye was immediately drawn to one of the little girls. I tried refocusing my attention on the boys but kept coming back to her. Finally I asked my (then 12 year old) son to look at the pics and tell me which one he liked. He picked the same girl I liked. That was the beginning of my breeding career...
