I don't know about this - it's going to be disorienting for some cats to get switched around between so many different environments. What will the firm do about a cat that starts acting out - running away, clawing, or more commonly, spraying to make territorial markings? Cats prize stability and even a cat that hasn't been in the habit can suddenly take up such behaviors.

Source: many years of experience of up to 10 cats at once. I wouldn't mind if this service also offered to pick up excess cats (I have too many due to a neighbor abandoning hers on me) but I would feel guilty about not setting them up with a more permanent environment.

Not to mention, what happens to these kittens when they grow up? Are they put down? Maybe ground up and fed to the next batch of cuteness to be shipped out? So many questions!

Note: I took the parent as being tongue-in-cheek. I apologize if I misinterpreted.
