XL Bully Cats

[ParliamentofBadgers]

Anyone seen these in the news?

I think I prefer the dogs, on balance. And I hate the dogs.

Poor things. 😔

Can you share a link??

I had to Google several sources because I didn't actually believe it was true. Why, why, why?

Holy shit… they look angry wrinkled scrotums

Jeez, those poor cats. It's bad enough with some of the horrors that are bred legitimately to existing breed standards, but this is awful.

Say what now?

Imagine a very wrinkly Siamese cat that’s been down the gym and done a lot of steroids.

It looks like a bag of genetic defects wrapped in a scrotum.

How is that pet? It would be like hugging a chicken skin stuffed with rocks.

Just why?

I despair of the human race. Just because something can be done, doesn't mean it should.

Awful! (Sorry for the daily mail link, was the only source!)

This type of thing makes me worry about what's being bred in secret, behind closed doors, that we never get to hear about.

What a stupid thing to do. Sphynx cats have short lifespans anyway, and these must be even worse.

Poor little souls. I really despise breeders of hairless cats or those who buy them (as opposed to adopting them). Their lack of fur makes them vulnerable to skin cancer as well as being unable to regulate temperature and use the functions that whiskers have. Why do such a thing?

Cats are amazing as they are. We don't need strange varieties. Those with unexpected mutations leading to baldness should be cared for with love, not bred as a novelty.

Like the dog thing from Ghost Busters...

I know two Sphynxes and they are sweet, friendly and very nice cats. Not like these though. It's so unfair. These breeders need to be banned. I'd like to see what the GCCF is doing about it.

Yeah but it's a cat, so there's no way it would follow any commands...

Oh dear God! Why!

What the fuck is wrong with people. Why would anyone think that they need inbreeding even more!?

OMG @Pogggle! It reminds me of those beasts in the first Ghostbusters film

Daily Mirror also covering it ☹️ https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/inside-terrifying-rise-new-xl-33748946

Not exactly cute.

I don't really understand the purpose.

I understand why people have created dogs like the xl bully because they think it makes them look tough and not to be messed with. I mean I wouldn't want to mess with one so great for dodgy dealers who want to keep their stash safe.

A cat though? What exactly is it going to do? Not like it can savage a person trying to steal your drugs or stab you! One swift kick and it goes flying, you're left with no drugs, a stab wound and an injured cat who is already in pretty poor health because no responsible breeder would even consider this crossing.

They aren't even cute and I quite like a standard spyhx/Devon rex which looks similar. Bizarre.

That’s absolutely horrifying. Those poor creatures!

That should be considered animal cruelty / abuse.

And the bowed legs and all those skin folds... Hairless cats have oily skin anyway that needs lots of care. I can just imagine the gunge collecting in those folds.
