Are the cats almost permanently pregnant?

This person is not interested in keeping a bloodline going. Keeping her greed going,yes.

Cats . Obviously not sheep or that would be a small holding or farm.

Multiple holidays.

Yes, absolutely disgusting. They are living creatures not a commodity. If that person is breeding cats or dogs in particular then they are a disgrace, there are far too many in rescues now. Hopefully HMRC have been receiving payments from them. Incidentally, most breeders are not registered. You’ve only got to visit the likes of Scumtree and Freeads to see that.

Very unpleasant, unless they have only had one holiday.

A bit more information needed.
Cats/dogs? Regularly, or just a one off?
Although most owners would say they breed to keep the bloodline going - there is a financial element involved. Very few (in my experience) only do it to cover their costs.

Um?

Dogs? Cats? Rabbits? Guinea pigs?
Licensed breeder?

Sheep? Cows?
Farmer?

It seems quite normal to me.

Without information we cannot comment.

An acquaintance does this to pay for holidays. Quite unpleasant in my opinion.
Any thoughts?
