This time I want to tell you that many real breeders in Hong Kong are working hard on promoting the pedigree cats and helping the new comers ceaselessly.

I were one of the new comers. Personally, I believe most of the real breeders in Hong Kong are helpful. They helped me very much and they allowed me keeping away from mistakes. It is very very important! Yes! If you want to be doing well and in the right ways, you must get the ability to distinguish  right or wrong!

How a person can behave rightly? The best way is to learning from the right persons. Fortunately I have learnt many valuable experience from the professors in the university when I was studying  and also now I am being able to learn many from many reputable local and foreign breeders. But, it always makes me worry that  there are some people who do not acquire such ability and start to keep or even breed the cats rashly.

Some local breeders are really so helpful and kind enough to remind others to be cogitative. They are experienced and well educated. Why don't hear them? I have been one of the listeners. It is wonderful and meaningful. It is because you can do more successfully with the valuable experience from others.

Besides, I believe it is very important to have the ability to tell the truth. Recently a lady called me and asked me some questions about keeping cats. She asked me if it is OK to bring the cats out for a walk. I told her it would be not a good choice in Hong Kong and it is not worth for the cat to taking the risk from the unknowable dangers. She doubted as her mind was rooted that cat and dog should live freely. I explained to her that cats can also live very happily indoor and told her that there are many ways to allow her cats exercising more. The key was that I never wanted to change her mind or force her to do that way. Meanwhile I told the truth. I have never pulled down the benefit of outdoor activities to the cats. She was the one to be able to distinguish right and wrong, so I believed she can find out the best ways for herself.

However, some people are too stubborn and always act against the ways suggested by some experienced people. They also try to pull down the right ideas and insist something she or he believe. It would be the influence from the traditional mind of Chinese. I feel it because I always have the same problem. But I am glad I can act much better than others as I can fix it more easily with the sufficient education. My friends and  colleagues help me too as they always give me good advices.

I don't mean someone should be right in everything or someone should be 'worshipped'. But, listening patiently is the first thing you must do before you hope to be respected, I believe. The next you should do is telling the truth. Please never try to hide yourself. Once you try to hide, there will be rapidly many people hiding behind you. The ones behind will do the same things as you!

Recently a message was posted in the newsgroup which stated that a new comer was being attacked by someone. Come on! The so called new comer has used to hide.  She had put a photo of someone disliked and put some bad comments beside. I really do not know why this time she felt unhappy with the guy she played tricks on. I really hope she will act more mature.

Every time I tell the truth, she or he loves to do something. Who is she or he? They are the senseless persons in our Chinese community!

It is being more and more clear that who are the people always gave false comments on us and other local breeders in the past few years. We are so sad to see it. Of course it is not easy to stop them doing.

I just hope more people can act more mature and concentrate their breeding program. What we need are the best pedigree cats and good 'intercommunion' with each others. I understand it would be a normal behavior to struggle to be famous. However, promoting right ideas and the culture of pedigree cats are much more important in this moment.

Good luck!
