I've had the same issues... and I'm not collecting or playing any more kitties... RIP Kitties.. Whatever you do in the game - whether it be buy new kitties, sale your kitties or put an offer to breed your kitties... you had to pay txn fees... and whenever your txn failed your fees are lost... my txn failed so many times... and some txn never went through and got stuck so in order to unstuck the txn to recover your eth... you had to send another txn and pay another fee.... ridiculous.... and every txn fee was almost 10-15dollars... because of huge gas.... come on .... i can't believe i wasted 1whole eth in this f***king game.....
