Cruel !!! PERIOD!!!

It is cruel to breed a cat, an animal that loves to jump and run, with such short legs.

This should be illegal and those who breed them must not have a heart. Why would you create an animal that could have such potential health problems and that is so deformed that it can not do the things a normal cat can do.

Breeding all together is something that too often cause the animal to suffer. People are too greedy, they can care less about the animal.

you people have no idea what you are talking about unless you have a dwarf cat you have no idea what they are like. they are just like anyother cat they play they hunt my cat can actually run faster than most cats because of her bigger back legs as well as jump higher so dont be coming on here and saying things that you dont even have a clue about.

by: Zebear

I have a dwarf cat that was born out of a litter of four, the other three cats are normal with just Zebear being dwarf. While her front legs are shorter and she has rabbit like back legs she is in no way disabled. She is able to do everything the other cats do and is actually faster than them. She is also able to hunt better than the other cats, as she can get into smaller places. I have no intention on breeding her and like I said she was born out of a normal litter, the vet has said that she is fine and has no other disability than having shorter front legs. She is very loving and affectionate and holds her own just fine with the other cats, so what would be cruel to have had her put down because she has shorter legs in the front, or perhaps because she might have a back problem, later in life? You should perhaps think before you write things, unless you yourself are in the position. Our dwarf cat, while not planned, is very much loved, very healthy, and quite capable of functioning like any other cat. Perhaps you also think that dwarf people are cruel???

My little girl was free off of craigslist. Her momma was a stray. I had now idea that i was getting a little dwarf kitty. And I will not breed her, but she is too small and does not weigh enough to get fixed.

Is horrible what people can do for money... They don't think that a cat want and need their normal front legs, to really live as a feline.

I hate people that using animals to make fame or money!

People can use their wisdom and time, to make more necessary scientific research.

You, people, obviously have no clew what you are talking about! Adopt yourself a Munchkin or another shortlegged kitty and then you will know that in no way the cat is suffering. Munchkins can run faster than normal cats and they manoeuvre way better around corners and tight spaces. They can jump and climb just fine and have no problem getting wherever they want to get. They are happy friendly healthy cats.

There are no known health defects in them (compare that to a severely inbred Persian cats if you want to feel sorry for someone). The very rare cases of protruding back disorder is not proven to be linked to the dwarf genetics of Munchkins and can occur in other breeds as well. But like I said it is extremely rare. The dwarf gen is a naturally occuring mutation so again it was nature that created that cat, not people.

There are plenty of shortlegged dog breeds and no one is complaining about them suffering or it being cruel! Breeding is a labor of love and it is pretty much impossible to make money on that, so most breeders do it purely for the love of animals and pleasure of having little babies (kittens or puppies) around.

i strongly despise dwarf cats because they will have internal problems later in their life. they are cute but it is unnatural for cats to have a big body and small legs. that is just mean to the cats. they can't jump well or run well.

i agree with you. all cats are natural born runners and jumpers. they deserve to have long legs.
