I’ve just read an article about Bully Cats. I’ll put my hand up and say I’m not overly fond of cats, but these cats, I found frightening. The article suggested the breeding of these cats was approaching a fad atm. Breeding which shouldn’t be happening due to serious health problems and shortened life expectancies. It’s been happening with certain breeds of dogs as well, but these cats….words fail.

keeping quiet - there have been many discussions on gransnet and other sites focussed on the problems associated with over breeding, breeding for profit from any dog- no health or temperament checks, putting any dog with some poor poodle bitch/dog to produce cute puppies. No matter that you don’t always get the best of either breed, no bother that your stud or bitch live in kennels with little human contact and their puppies are poor specimens.
Look at the daily press coverage around dangerous dogs, xl bullies

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

Quite a few eye-lids have been batted about dog breeding over the years. Kennel Club rules have been revised and several new laws passed.

All animals deserve protection from unscrupulous breeders, cats included.

Mmm most if not all dogs these days are a result of breeding. People make a living from it, I don't see any of this coming to an end. Just look at the number of cat breeds to dog breeds. It's an industry from which the animal takes no profit.
