stubby kitties --> miniwank
Cute Overload, in addition to being full of cute animals, is often also full of wank. Most posts contain at least one accusation of animal cruelty, and this one, about a Scottish Fold cat with exceptionally stubby legs, is no exception.

Comments about animal breeding begin on the very first comment and only continue down the thread.

Adopt a shelter cat!

This sucks. Animal-cruelty is what it is.

CAPSLOCK OF EMPHASIS!

None of us would advocate breaking puppies' legs just because they can look really cute in casts.

I don't know about you, but I plan to go break some puppy legs later this afternoon!

I'd gotten the icon from someone else, I forget who -- personally, I don't mind, just giving the heads-up.

Savannahs can be very smart, but can sometimes be a little leery of strangers (CallipygosConsort's gotten him back for a few visits, and he's always hissed at me when he sees me; although, to be fair, that may not be a breed thing, but may be more a feline version of the little kid meeting Dad's new girlfriend and saying "You're not my mommy.")

Our savannah is a little on the skittish side, but IMO it all really depends on how close your particular savannah is to the original serval and individual temperament.

Both savannahs and bengals are gorgeous, athletic, and so smart it's scary. And if you're in the right place at the right time, you can still get a rescue cat. Alot of people will get a savannah/bengal, expecting them to be a pretty decoration that you have to feed from time to time, not realizing that they need attention and stimulus, and when the cat acts out they get rid of the poor thing. Sad, but that's how we ended up getting both of our bengals. Our savannah was the only one we actually got from the breeder.

	Eeee, Ocicats!! They're gorgeous. They're definitely on the list of breeds I might buy if I ever bought a cat (we've had six in my lifetime and they've all been strays or shelter cats, but one of them is a clear Ragdoll mix, and the tabby we used to have was probably part Siamese. Interestingly, those two are the least intelligent of the cats we've had). (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Aren't they wondrous? Also, I get all gooey and useless when people mention "ocikittens." purrs (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I have a friend with a half-Siamese cat. She (the cat, not my friend) ran across a hotplate while it was on. TWICE. The same cat also doesn't use the catflap, instead preferring to squeeze out of a window, no matter how far the window isn't open or how she'll have to jump down seven feet from an awkward position. She's as thick as pig shit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I used to have a neighbor who had a Siamese (apple-head, which are less inbred, but still) that she had rescued from an alleyway in Cairo. Her name was skittles, and she liked to roll around in the gutter. Even when cars were coming (luckily we did not get a lot of cars on that street and then usually went slowly, as it was a blind curve). (Reply to this)(Parent)
