Oh I love Christmas with all my white snow flake fluff balls!! Hills of snow!!
*stolen and edited* My purchase of a well bred purebred did not sentence another cat to death. My purchase of a well bred purebred did not cause an increase in the number of cats in shelters. Me wanting a cat with a predictable temperament from healthy lineage did not cause another cat to not get adopted. My meticulous research and support of only the most responsible of breeders is not the problem. It is not what you should be mad at. It is not what you should be pushing the... blame onto. I am not the one who brought these cats into the world irresponsibly and left them in a shelter. Responsible breeders are not the ones who put cats into shelters either. It is my home, my life, and my choice of what kind of cat to bring into it. Maybe I needed a show cat, a hypoallergenic cat, or simply a companion kitten to raise of a breed I enjoy. No matter the reason, my choice to support a reputable breeder did not send a shelter cat to its death. A breeder who health tests, temperament tests, studies pedigrees, proves a cat worthy of being bred, and only breeds when doing so is of benefit to the breed is not contributing to the number of homeless cats. The number of homeless cats in the world is a problem, but it is not a problem exacerbated by reputable breeders and those who purchase from them. Your neighbor down the street who refuses to contain his unaltered cats IS contributing to the problem. Your friend who impulse bought a kitten at a pet store IS contributing to the problem. Your relative who just HAS to let their cat have one litter so she can experience motherhood or because she’s just so sweet IS contributing to the problem. Your old high school classmate who bought a high energy breed without taking the time to research its needs and realize it was not a good fit for their household ahead of time IS contributing to the problem. A reputable breeder offers their lifelong support. A reputable breeder would never allow their cats to end up in a shelter to begin with. A reputable breeder makes it a contractual obligation to return cats they have produced back to them should you find yourself unable of keeping it. It is understandable to be angry about the number of homeless cats in the world, but if you take a deeper look, you will find your anger is misplaced. If you take a deeper look, you will find reputable breeders and those of us who purchase from them are just as angry, we are just pointing fingers at the right causes. *Shared* See more
