Ugh...

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Oh yes.

Which is why the bathroom where I do my hair is closed and off limits to kittahs.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Ragdoll?

They are beautiful and have very nice personalities I have heard.

Wonder if they throw up?

Probably.

[Tax-chick]

I don’t know what kind it is, but all long-haired cats get hairballs and throw up.

[Tax-chick]

It seems to be bred to live in the snow.

[MayflowerMadam]

I had a Maine Coon cat. Loved water. A beautiful animal.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

That is true.

And so do the short haired ones.

I wonder about the Sphynx cats. Poor hairless things.

[Tax-chick]

I think intentionally perpetuating the hairless cats was immoral.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yep.

I feel the same way about the curly coated cats. Sure they look cute but their whiskers are brittle and break off. Which is painful and reduces one of the necessary things cats need to get around in the world.

And don't even get me started on the flat faced cats and dogs. Why would you breed an animal for ill health?

So, today we have “fire weather”; it’s clear, unseasonably warm, it’s been foggy, but no rain, so it’s dry, and there’s a blustery wind knocking down the lingering dead leaves in the trees. It’s just the sort of weather that will well sustain a wildfire if one were to get started.

Yeah, I needed the previously used words for that one.

[Tax-chick]

And they look ugly, too.

Breeding bad traits into dogs is killing some breeds.

Lily the Dog is a Doberman which means that we will probably lose her this year. She is 14 and that is generally as long as they live. The European Working Line, which should be the best one, has become so inbred that they have the shortest life span. American Pet line is the longest living.

It should be the other way around. The carefully curated and bred dogs should be the healthiest.

Instead it is the back yard breeders who "I have a Doberman female, you have a Doberman male, let's breed them and sell the pups" that are where the hope of keeping the breed alive is.

Close inbreeding is not healthy in animals either.
