An Exotic Shorthair, known to Potterheads as a Crookshanks. I love them
Their every living moment is agony. Imagine your nose is always plugged and your mouth hurts when it's dry. And you never get a good night's sleep.
I've no doubt their temperament is amazing, but you shouldn't pay money to get animals with breathing issues. We shouldn't reward breeders for torturing animals.
This includes Scottish Folds(shitty cartilage), Munchkins(shitty bones), and anything with a squashed face like this
Don't know if they are better or worse than my cat who has tank controls. He is a mutant with no neck and thusly has tank controls, his kids are fine though if a bit utterly stupid.
The brain is stored in the neck
Basically the pug of cats though
The utility and temperament of dogs has been a contributing factor is the decisions to geneticly modify them. Cats, on the other hand are already physically perfect for their roles in human society so all the genetic mutations are purely aesthetic
This is why if I get a pet dog, I would like a breed close enough to their original wolf lineage. I always ask people, what if aliens arrived and made humans pet and breed us to have certain features? That's just messed up.
Ever read All Tomorrows that's basically just what the Qu did to humanity.
That's on my bucket list of books to read!
cannot breath
help
People still trying to make cat breeds a thing even though all you need is some razors in a ragged bundle of hair and you’re set.
Cat in a Time Machine
I sure hope this one will not lick itself clean.
Do NOT ever let cats go into washers and dryers!
I know someone who had a cat die in a running one and it fucked them up bad finding them dead later
"what the fuck is that" is a perfect summary of this meme
This is how my Newfie acts every time some tiny dog like a Yorkie or a Chihuahua tries to interact with her.
Pug so out of breath it dropped the e from breathe
George Floyd ass breed
We've been breeding dogs for 20,000 more years than cats. Give it time.
