        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.

              Apparently so cause he is infinitly smarter than all of his children combined. Mind you three of the living ones are Siamese, and one of them probably has brain damage due to almost dying as a kitten but still.
