They will want to know if you have children - and if so, how old are the kids and what is their experience with animals so far? Do you have other pets? How did you lose your last cat? Are any of the cats in your home allowed outdoors? Do you have a veterinarian? Don't be surprised if some of the questions seem personal - these kittens are not commodities to the reputable breeder. They are little lives that we have planned, assisted in their births, raised with love, and probably have slept on our heads for the past three months. We want to make sure they are going to great new homes, or we would prefer to keep them ourselves. Beware the breeder who asks you no questions - because it is obvious that they are more concerned with the money than in giving a kitten a fabulous new home, and the parents a fabulous new fur child.

I strong supporting you on this matter... Perhaps I would like to say that all the reputable breeder that I wrote to and talk to will have TONS of question to forward to me before they even tell you how much is the cat.. I still remember there was a breeder who ask me 37 Question before she decided answer my question... But overall she is a very nice person and a very good breeder...
