half-legged cats

[proetida]

Does this disturb anyone else?

They are simply breeding cats specifically with the gene that causes dwarfs. Not sure if I would call it disturbing- not any more disturbing than breeding any other animal to cultivate a certain characteristic.

They do look odd though.

[proetida]

Yeah, but cats should have whole legs...not half-legs.

[proetida]

This is true, however, I still find it disturbing.

[chickbrarian]

Newton seems slightly bothered by it.

[proetida]

Heh, that's because he's a normal cat, and normal cats have dignity.

Yeah, but if I had to pick between this breed and some Persian/Sphinx cross with no hair who can't breathe, I might go with this.

[proetida]

I have to agree with you on that one.

I have read that the munchkin biddies can run normally and are healthy cats.

I have also read that attempts to breed dwarf cats can result in the ill-fated two-headed kittens, and probably other genetic fuck-ups.

That's breeding for ya!

So it goes.
