Default mini-Catt repotting in moss?

Hi Joanna,

I had very good luck growing mini-Catts in moss. Where I had a hard time
was in the repotting. When the moss goes bad and needs to be replaced, I
found the roots to be a matted mess with no easy way to remove the old moss
without lots of root damage. As much as I love moss, I grow mini-Catts in a
bark mix where repotting requires you simply to 'shake out' the old bark.

I was wondering if it is a really bad idea to repot a mini-Catt into moss?
I don't think I have ever seen a mini-Catt grown in moss and thus I wonder.

Thanks,
Joanna
