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!

Here's where I'm going to come across like a wanking ass, but I can't help myself. I think Savannahs are some of the most beautiful cats in the world, but in some ways, I wish they were never invented.

Not because they aren't awesome, they are, but because everyone around here who owns one is a total yuppie, who can't *stand* the idea of having something that isn't expensive, that they can't show off and say, "Yes, this is my multi-thousand dollar pet, very rare you know."

Your friend sounds like he's got the right idea and loves the breed whether it's a million dollars or six cents, which is terrific, but oh, I get tired of people who just can't get a pet, purely for the sake of the animal itself, but must get some exotic creature, mostly for the bragging rights.

Er, sorry. Again, I hope this doesn't come across like I'm slamming your friend, he sounds like one of the few people who should have a Savannah cat.

No, I hear you, and I'd have thought the same thing if he had a different attitude about it. But fortunately his attitude about Savannahs wasn't about "oh, must have a purebred because they are speshul and unique", it's about, "awwww, Rupert was just such a great cat!"

Kind of like how my family's dog when I was a kid was arguably one of those poodle-mixed-breed designer things that are so big now (I think they call them "Spoodles" now, but the cocker spaniel/poodle mixes used to be "cockapoos" and poeple've been doing that for a while), and honestly, our dog was awesome. So I get just as sick of hearing of labradoodles and goldendoodles and whatever-oodles as the next person, but....they all look a little like K.C., so whenever I see a picture of them, a part of me does go "....awwwwww!"
