Bully Cats

Babs03

We have no right to treat animals like products, to be redesigned and tweaked, is despicable. All living things should be treated with respect and recognised as important a species as we are.
Quite frankly I sometimes think that if human beings became extinct they would be doing this planet and all other living things a favour.

Absolutely agree, this sort of “tweaking” is despicable as are those responsible and those who buy them.

Oh bum.
Spelt wrong.

Same here - should have been Spynx, not Sphinx.

Sphynx

That's it, I think.

Horrible cruelty. Very upsetting. Poor little cats.

Oh Lord I wouldn’t have one of those if you paid me, imagine waking up and seeing that sitting on the bed!!!

That's right MissA.

I got there in the end!!

Sphynx

That's it, I think.

Oh, I give up . My spelling part of brain has gone on strike!

Mine too.

In fact, my body has cried "One out, all out!" I reckon.

I love the Sphinx cat …. Ha ha …. I often go to our local cat cafe where there is a family of them ….. they make a bee line for me as soon as I go in …. I THINK it’s because they think’ah mum is home ‘ as I have MORE wrinkles than them … they are so friendly and feel like velvet… I do worry about them in the cold though !!!

They have more health problems overall, I think.

Love spynnx spelt wrong but I’m afraid these poor pussycats look gross. And the health probs they will endure poor things. The world’s gone mad designer this designer that. These breeders aren’t thinking about their health probs and the welfare of these cats. All they interested in is the big money they will get from selling them. And there’s enough silly people want to buy them. Makes me really cross

The Sphynx no more so than any other breed MissA but I worry that isn't the case for the Bully Cats.

This world will always have certain people that enjoy ways to exploit defenceless animals. There must be ways of stopping these breeders and complete shame on those who will buy the poor cats. A disgrace.

Never seen one.

Those poor animals will need extra care and attention, and protection from the sun too. But the kind of vile specimens who buy them will not look after them properly. I hope they are banned immediately before this gets out of hand.

Agree totally

You cannot possibly know that Chestnut.

I have rehomed a female Maine coon cat. She spent the first 4 months being extremely timid and retreated into her igloo house at the slightest noise. I started to let her out into the back shared terrace area and she has suddenly become the terrace bully. None of the other 3 cats in the terrace dare come out when she is around. Inside my house butter wouldn’t melt.

I love Maine Coon cats - if I ever reach the no dog stage I believe a Maine Coon might save me

I’m unhappy about intensive breeding practices needed to develop this kind of cat. Your comment chestnut expresses your feelings but isn’t based in any kind of research, I accept it’s probabkt too early for research but i can’t accept that only ‘vile specimens who won’t look after them ‘ Will be the only people buying them. What legislation could possibly result in banning the breeding of these animals. The dangerous dogs act is essential to safeguard humans -look at the difficulties there are in enforcing this legislation

Good grief. Don't do this to cats! Cats are beautiful!

Absolutely, surely this must be classed as animal abuse. I've always had cats, beautiful creatures, this is awful!

There are already breeds of cat with in-built health problems, like Scottish fold and Persians. While people want to buy them others will produce them.
Thank goodness most cats have not been deliberately bred with exaggerated features, like so many dog breeds.

They look bloody awful, why would you want one?

People have been breeding dogs for years and no one batted an eye-lid... why are cats different?

Then I see it's Mail Online...

Judging by the comments I think everyone agrees it's cruel to breed and keep these poor creatures, so the owners are not going to be animal lovers.
