I haven't been able to sleep properly with the "stolen add" saga. The plot certainly thickened. Early this morning after much Googling I discovered that the same people had stolen 25 genuine breeder adverts and were passing the ads off as their own. I was horrified with the thought of someone selling 25 different breeds of kittens all in one go and the only thing I could think of was a kitten farm. I did become very distressed at the thought of what terrible conditions these cats and kittens must be in.
I did email all the genuine breeders involved to let them know what was happening so they could request Friday-ad removed the fake adverts. After some more digging however I discovered that it isn't a kitten farm, which is a relief but it is a scam. The dodgy people offer to deliver the kittens and ask for money upfront, obviously they never turn up with kittens.  People are still being scammed out of money and the public are relating these scams to mine and other breeders pictures but at least kittens aren't actually being farmed.
I just had to post a picture though of sweet William asleep on his head in the sun. How can I stay worked up about things when I have the most chilled cats on the planet...thank heaven for Russian's.
