I'm going to ask a question that's a little controversial. [View all]

What do you think of "Munchkin" cat breeders? I think it's animal cruelty. Cats like to jump up on high counters and furniture. I think it's even worse if it's an outside cat. I recently saw a video of a fat Munchkin cat dragging its belly on the floor. I don't mean for this to be funny. It's horrible.

You misunderstood me. My comment was about breeding Munchkin cats, not the OP. I agree with the OP catbyte Jan 12 #11

I don't see any good in any for-profit animal breeding. Think. Again. Jan 12 #6

The same can be asked of many dog breeds. PoindexterOglethorpe Jan 12 #7

It's cruel, creating animals with a high propensity for health problems, all in the name of making money. LudwigPastorius Jan 12 #10
