Stop breeding designer cats

[SanFranBear]

Interesting but very short piece on the Scottish fold cats which seem to be the sleb 'cat of choice' at the moment.

I personally think there are enough cats in the world without breeding more but is the breeder right when she says other breeds have just as many problems...

I must admit I know nothing about this side of things as my cats have been rescues.

I was suprised that the rescue I got mine from allowed me to have them, she didn't know me and I had no vets references and had never had Persians before. But I wasn't put off by driving 100 miles to pick them up and was happy to pay the hefty adoption fee, so she took a chance. And I'm glad she did! She said I'd never want another breed of cat after having Persians. Didn't believe her but she was so right!!

My moggie seems to be a combination of Siamese personality, Maine coon size and Persian fluffiness, as well as being a handsome fellow ( I may be biased, but I think he's gorgeous looking). That was more luck than judgement though as I'd only seen his eyes at the back if an igloo bed before collecting him from the rescue!
