Don’t act like there aren’t cat breeders selling Persians and Sphinxes for thousands.
My dog showed up on our doorstep like, hi I’m your dog. So we were like, OK cool.
This is my actual real life human daughter. I adopted her from the RSPCA. She has a condition called felineitis, so please dont bully her. Also she’s nonverbal and extremely sensitive to stimulus, so be patient with her.
Cat 1: adopted from someone on Reddit who had taken in a preggo stray.
Cat 2: adopted from a shelter, was found in a hoarder house.
Cat 3: adopted from a shelter, was found in a Penske truck.
Foster cat: appeared on our window ledge, theory is she was dumped with her litter outside the pet shop nearby.I’m anticipating more rescues in our future because people are selfish assholes who think spaying is cruel, but are totally ok with overpopulating the world with cats that don’t receive adequate care and often die lonely.
High as balls cat 3 (Fran) after her gabapentin fueled vet day.
who made this meme trying to imply there aren’t equally dumb cat people spending multiple thousands on a “purebred” cat?
if anything should be banned it’s the AKC and whatever the cat version is
I don’t endorse these websites, but an example of some really expensive cat breeds.
Regardless of pet, don’t buy designer pets unless they are rescues.
don’t buy designer pets
All my cats are designer pets. They redesigned the couch, the stair carpet, the back of my chair. Very good designers.
As someone who wants a cat but is really allergic, I’m not looking forward to shelling out for a Bengal or sphynx when the temptation gets too high…
I watch shelters around here constantly, and only one of them has ever come through.
It was adopted in about 10 seconds
Had a friend who had two bengal kittens. They could leap up an entire flight of stairs in two bounds. Even ignoring all the issues with breeders, don’t fuck with bengal kittens. You’ll need to turn your whole house into a jungle gym.
I unironically feel superior having adopted wounded and hungry animal
I don’t know why I did it as I am not really the best person in my mind. It almost ended up badly anyway but like it all straightened out in the end after some… conflicts
It is still a wild animal though compared to all the other pets I seen. Like a small lion in 100 sq m apartment. I have no power or control over him.
I may give in one day and turn him into a pie
