The whole “purebred” thing always seems weird to me, “purebred” royal families aren’t pretty but full of genetic defects, why should it be an better with cats or dogs.
Honestly it’s always something magical when a cat decides ah yes you are my human. It’s like the dark souls version of getting a dog. And thusly cats in a way are the peak of loyalty because no one else can win a cats favor.
I was at cat lounge/rescue/adoption place in my area recently (not to adopt, just to pet the cats) and one of the cats, a maybe ~7mo female tabby with a slightly fucked up ear named Maggie, after spending most of the time I was there hiding in a corner, decided she liked me, came up to me, sat down on my lap, and refused to budge. One of the staff members came up to say “hey man you’re at your time limit, but I can see you’re in a situation here so just… whenever is chill”
The court ruled that the breeding of brachycephalic (flat-faced) dogs is cruel and results in man-made health problems, and is in violation of Norway’s Animal Welfare Act.
Every one acts like every purebreed is a medical oddity when really it’s just an increased likelihood of defects for certain breeds. I can tell you right now any animal can hurt your pocket the second they decide your gold plated anal beads look like a tasty treat.
People dont have $50 a month. What ever what ever, no one should have a pet unless they can afford it and all the animals that can’t find homes should be put down.
You can get it as cheaply as $17 a month. And the person I was replying to said your pet would “hurt your pocket” when they eat something they’re not supposed to, implying that they would be paying for the expensive surgery. Most veterinary surgeries are $2K-$5k. Mid range health insurance is $50 per month or $600 per year, saving $1400- $4400 for a person who would be paying out of pocket otherwise.

Nearly every cat I ever had was once a stray and I wouldn’t trade that for the world.
You don’t to have a pet cat
The cat chooses you as their pet

I love this
This just reminded me of a good scene in the book The House in the Cerulean Sea. Minor spoiler, the character has a cat that chooses him.
Perchance these competitions should have a points deducted by the animals quality of life. Of the poor thing has a hard time breathing -10 points idk
The animal would get a medal for doing its best and the human would get a cone of shame so they know what it’s like.
Norway is doing something about it:

Nature despises purity.

Counterpoint: The pug.
Which “pocket” are we talking about here? Also, get health insurance for your pets people.
That seems sort of cruel when some people can’t afford health insurance for their people.
