    Used to work at an animal shelter, and I can count on one hand the number of cats we’d ever had that were anything other than “D(S/L)H (color and pattern)” or “(pattern) Siamese”

      At the shelter I volunteered at, they’d occasionally get a purebred, but they’d still advertise them as DLH (or whatever) because they didn’t want to attract the type of adopter who cares about the breed.

      Good! That means not too many breeders are interested in fucking up their health for the sake of some stupid feature.

        Enough are though. Those poor munchkins are supper popular. And rag doll cats are bred to be almost idiots because some assholes thought it was cutentonhave a breed whose most distinct behave is flooping stupidly on the floor
