Welcome to Jasmine's
Confessions of a Cat Breeder

I was at once struck with the title, but after reading only a few pages, it became apparent that the book's subtitle was what it was all about: A Practical and Spiritual Guide to Living in Harmony with a Compatible Feline in Smaller Spaces.

Author Jasmine Kinnear, with more than 20 years as a professional cat breeder of Himalayans and Persians makes a most astute observer of feline personality types. By studying and handling kittens from birth to placement with their human families, Ms. Kinnear developed her Felines by Design theory and is able to match a cat to its owner's lifestyle, needs and living space.

How to Hide Your Cat from the Landlord addresses the how-to's of living with cats in smaller spaces. First of all, the right cat must be chosen and here Ms. Kinnear excels in describing a dozen or so 'perfect condo kitties', felines whose personality types make them the ideal pets for smaller spaces. In exquisite detail, the 'condo kitty' is rated for affection, loyalty, playfulness and such characteristics as getting along with children or with other cats and accepting a new spouse into the household.

In the final chapters, the spiritual side of choosing a name for one's feline companion is touched on and there is some helpful advice for recognizing and dealing with a cat's stress and grief.

Confessions of a Cat Breeder (CCB) is an organization dedicated to assisting
both the responsible kitten buyer and the registered breeder. Our aim is to improve
the standards of owning and raising both pedigreed and domestic kittens. We also
want to encourage everyone to provide the love and respect for cats that they need
and deserve.

CCB will assist both cat owners and breeders from repeating the costly errors we
made when first entering the complex Cat Fancy World.

Jasmine Kinnear shares a strong desire to protect the interests of cat owners.
Additionally, breeders wishing to honestly and ethically increase their cattery profits
will benefit from her 20 years of experience.

Our ultimate goals are for all kittens to be bred and nurtured in a wholesome and
healthy environment. We want to prevent the selling of sick kittens by unscrupulous
breeders and to educate cat owners to recognize ethical and responsible catteries.
