Late reply, but i was on a sort of short vacation for a few days.
I sometimes botice pwople have blocked me, tho i never interacted with them as far as i know. No trades and i cant remember PMing with them (i rarely PM anyone anyways).
I think they blocked me because i hoard all cats. By now i have over 283.000.
Most of them are commons and under, tho there are some rares in there. I use the older rares tot trade for bulk cats.
My trade rules also state that i can unlock my hoard if anyone want to swap cats.
If you trade with others, you can find all those cats pretty easy. Imagine those 283.000 back in circulation... there are so many in trade folders and free adoption centers already! The market would be overflowing. Hoard some low demand species (rats, horses, ponies etc) and you could have 1000 of them in a week if you advertise and visit the free adoption board.
A lot of people trade their cats with me. Sometimes i receive a small gift, but most i trade for. Also a lot of offsite trades.
Some people may jot like it, but i do. I even stopped focussing on collecting pets to focus on hoarding. For now my collection is frozen, i am not going to trade any pet away that i only have 1 of.
But i am thinking of ending my item collection to get more hoard pets.

Long story short...
I pay fairly for the cats, if not overpay. I dont care much about the dates of commons when trading. Its a game and games are for fun. So why shouldnt i do what i like? I love collecting and hoarding cats, it makes me happy. It might not make others happy, but that is their game.
This is mine and i play the way i like it and within the rules of CS.
Do whatever you like and what makes you happy ♡
