For a showable, working-capable, purebred of an endangered breed with no genetic health problems. In context, it's not only reasonable, it's a damn good deal. Compare that to those assholes asking like $600 for 'Cockapoos' and that kind of shit. Plus, I get some rebates on proof spay/neuter and training classes, guaranteed refund/replacement in case of hip dysplasia, guaranteed return if for some reason (Gaia forbid) I can't keep it ... I did my research for six years. I'm getting a *fuck* of a lot for my money here ( ... )

There will be once s/he gets here. :) One of my regular idle-moment/going-to-sleep thoughts is now picturing the sire, the dam, and the damsire, and imagining all the possible ways its phenotype could turn out, and whether it'll like the cats or be scared of them, all the other stuff. I feel bizarrely like a man expecting a child. I'm not the one who has to do the work but part of me is completely invested in the process anyway, you know?

Heh--there's a very good reason pet "owners" often refer to critters as "furkids".
