If you find yourself doubting your breeding practices, feeling guilty, or reluctant to make decisions, you might be experiencing gaslighting. Gaslighting means manipulating someone into doubting their own experiences and perceptions. This can mean questioning your methods or beliefs because of what others say is the “right” way. It’s more common in the pedigree cat breeding community than you would think.
In this podcast episode, we’ll talk about the top things that breeders tend to gas light each other about. It’s important to remember that your breeding practices are your own, and not even a mentor has the right to tell you how you should run your cattery.
For a supportive community free from negativity, join our Facebook group, “No Judgement Zone: Pedigree Cat Breeder Community.” Here, you can ask questions and share experiences without fear of judgment.
Thank you for posting this!! The gaslighting in Facebook groups is intense! I love your no judgment group SO much!
