      Why not both? We rescued an abandoned Scottish fold, and now we spend plenty of money on her. She’s a sweetie!

        Sure, if they’re abandoned.

        The issue is that we have so, so many stray cats. So, so many cats left in shelters. We do not need people to breed more cats just so people can have their very expensive and very specifically bred designer furbaby. We need people to take care of the ones that already exist and are already struggling.

          breeding should be outlawed until all cats have a home. same with human children

        Creating designer pets is immoral. Creating a side channel market for abandoned designer pets is immoral because it increases demand for designer pets (people can abandon their pets knowing they will be cared for).
