    Remember the jogging stroller for the cat? That was a classic.

    Was probably nuked though.

    That doesn't change the fact that saying they only exist because people breed them is irrelevant. That's pretty much true of all domesticated animals as well as many animals that are forced to live in zoos.

    Except that it IS irrelevant because I never used that as a reason for why they shouldn't exist. I provided legitimate reasons as to why I don't believe people should be breeding them.
    I only pointed out that they only exist by human intervention because the person asked how they would exist if humans did not breed them. I'm sorry that you confused my answer to the OP's question with me providing a reason. They are two separate things.

    I used to love dogs but after owning the world's stupidest beagle and working in a dog grooming place with a lunatic boss, I don't care for dogs at all anymore. Cats are awesome and fit way better into my lifestyle. I'd be lost without by freaky 6-toed cat.

    Don't make this a dog-shaming thread. You should be ashamed.

    Regarding cat breeds that would not exist in nature: most of what we see in the domestic house cat breeds DO exist in nature, just not in the quantity that we see. People see a trait that they like (short hair, long hair, no hair, etc) and combine similar looking cats to maintain that trait. Even the rumpy and stumpy Manx cats are a naturally occurring trait. Same with the ears of the Scottish Fold and the American Curl. What I don't like is perpetuating things that would not allow the cat to survive in the wild, like super short legs. I also do not like interbreeding species that would not breed together on their own (like the housecat/Asian Leopard cat combo that produced the Bengal and the Serval/housecat combo that produces the Savannah). Tinkering with nature like that is wrong.

    My favorite is still the "who knows what" shelter cat like my Mr. Hector:

    Although I love Coonies too, like Miss Mika:

    Kitties! I love any type of cat! But long haired orange tabbies are the sweetest... They always seem exceptionally friendly.

    Dead.... Is that a breed?

    These guys have the right idea. I'm not a proper cat owner. The only one I ever had did back flips across the living room (on the couch of course) when I was about 10. ALWAYS landed on her feet.




    I may get another one, that's bringing back so many memories :trollface:
