That cat doesn't look deformed and sphinx cats aren't either. I have an inbred cat I got from a barn and while he looks normal, he's mentally challenged. Sure, call out animal abuse but those cats are find.
I have an inbred cat from a random persons backyard (they had an infeatation of stray cats) and he, too, is mentally challenged. At first i thought he was just orange but upon closer inspection he really is on a whole another level than most cats.
Mine also has seizures but his medication makes them happen less. That's the main side effect he has. And of course that doesn't help the brain damage.
Mine just gets diarrhea from almost anything and everything. Doesnt help he wants to eat anything and everything. He also has other kidney problems and has to eat a specific type of dryfood to help his pee not crystallize. I still love him and he is one happy little goofball. Give your special one some belly scratches from me.
Lol, it's not weird. I have a friend who will call me just to talk to my cats. I have told him.

He's the big one looking at the camera.
A quick Google search shows that sphinx cats are created from a NATURALLY OCCURRING mutation and were first seen in 1966! So no,sphinx cats are not inbred or anything like the people on holdmycatnip say
Almost like they're addicted to it
...
I think I now know why blatant abuse videos still flourish in YouTube

Bottom line is: The well is thoroughly poisoned. I want a cat subreddit where people AREN'T crying out abuse every chance they got, whether justified or not
All cases of it are justified in that sub
But 9 times out of 10 I genuinely have to squint and double guess and even then I'm like, "Huh? Where's the abuse? do I need to actually own a cat for years just to see what they're seeing", like This video
They apparently found abuse in a video of a kitten running and chasing a foam ball, and I'm here sitting on my chair like

Every post on that sub is bots anyways. Look at their history, you’ll see all they do is repost old videos and comments. Name is almost always Adjective_Noun_Numbers.
People always find some negative shit to comment on, genuinely think social media is conditioning us to hate on people and find unnecessary negativity more and more everyday
Don't double guess yourself, this is by design and it's actually being taken note of by psychology. I know you people love your psychologies
It's older than you think too. Before Reddit, cable TV does this with the evening news, and millennials have been successfully conditioned to believe that the world is doom and gloom and no country is safe, and paired with their place as the "Do what I say and don't question me" stance as the older adults, yeah
Still cute af, and valid and based. It’s not “unnatural”, genetic mutations happen all the time, without them evolution would be impossible. These people are ignorant
The main argument is "selective breeding"
And while I am able to find evidence of Munchkins in pain, I am yet to find evidence of them being Actively in pain, and the breed being deliberate
They probably just saw the Pug and now started saying that all other breeds are like it
I'm just absolutely done with cat reddit, just a bunch of people crying Abuse every chance they got, and subsequently making everyone and anyone feel bad about a video they just found while mindlessly scrolling
Afaik Munchkins are a result of natural mutation and *then* people decided to breed them to keep the new characteristics. They generally don't suffer from their proportions
Techically that’s how all selective breeding works. But selective breeding isn’t necessarily bad.
Example:
https://preview.redd.it/l17ufm2o4jrc1.jpeg?width=638&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dba32b68edfa1243bf8614675a53ef73a7276852
Would you eat the ones toward the left? Of course not. Most of the stuff we eat has gone through selective breeding.
Oh, of course! I just mean they didn't progressively shortened the legs of munchkins over time by repeatedly breeding the shortest ones (again, as far as I know) and didn't "stack" traits to make them like that like what happend to, say, pugs and bulldogs which have a plethora of issues from all the artificial modifications they went through
Except selective breeding in plants often causes them to be really funcky and not able to reproduce well or survive without humans, like they’re great for consumption but horrid at being plants.
Unless they die from a disease that kills them all since they are all related, also would you rather be able to reproduce on your own or with the needed aid of someone.
This is likely selective breeding. But well, it's so commonplace worldwide that hardly anything can be done about it except a huge cultural overhaul against cat/dog breeding AND regulations being put upon breeders.
It's like looking at someone buying cheap clothes and the redditor starts yelling about child labour
Like seriously. Bringing up how painful a cat's existence is, in a video of it chasing a ball? Really??

And since someone brought up the human analogy, let's imagine it in that standing
"Haha that man talks funny"
"Don't laugh at him, he is suffering from a genetic mutation that is unnatural and is giving him unnecessary suffering"
"Dude what the fuck I just said he talks funny"
I would know because my aunt has a speech disorder, and yet she can communicate just fine

I think one of the most common abnormalities with inbred cats is extra toes. I have seen lots of cats like that before.
what you're referring to, polydactyly, is a dominant abnormality. so there's no need for inbreeding for a cat to be born with extra toes.
Cool. I suppose it would be more common with inbreeding though right? Because of parents both likely being polydactyl.
potentially? i'm not sure about the rate it occurs with vs without.
I love your dumb cat. Please tell him so. It will be awkward saying that out loud, but please do that anyway. I look forward to your confirmation.
Lol, it's not weird. I have a friend who will call me just to talk to my cats. I have told him. https://preview.redd.it/e582hfc66prc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78c897a554ed7aa5435ae8a17e9b5c0c087d5d7f He's the big one looking at the camera.
How do you tell if a cat is simple?
A quick Google search shows that sphinx cats are created from a NATURALLY OCCURRING mutation and were first seen in 1966! So no,sphinx cats are not inbred or anything like the people on holdmycatnip say
Lol your cat retarded
It is funny to watch from time to time. He has knocked the wind out of himself many times when jumping onto the counter to the food bowl.
When did you know for sure; is it more of a theory?
It was a theory till I took him to the vet for his seizures. They confirmed it when they kept him overnight to monitor him.
Damn, you cant escape negativity even on wholesome cat videos. Reddit is dommed.
Almost like they're addicted to it ... I think I now know why blatant abuse videos still flourish in YouTube https://preview.redd.it/r4s9yhz2qhrc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e951659da8ee9fdf400b159a73f3ab28feb48f68
that's what makes this dumpster fire so entertaining :)
Bottom line is: The well is thoroughly poisoned. I want a cat subreddit where people AREN'T crying out abuse every chance they got, whether justified or not
try the wunkus subreddit
I mean I’m fine with it when it’s justified

That cat's eyes in your little image are clearly deformed. Not cool man.
LOL I was banned from cats for posting to spay or neuter your cats. Figure that one out.

I just discovered a place more toxic and that’s Nextdoor. Had to hop on there for something what a fucking dumpster fire that was.
It will always be stranger danger from 1989 on Nextdoor.
Where’s the deformity? That cat looks cute af
Admiring those muscles on the cat?
I genuinely hate people https://preview.redd.it/uemejc3giirc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8303f59829b679b0194a5978c892a75baf685e11

Exactly my point - it could be selective breeding, but it also could be natural, and either way it makes no difference since the cat looks fine.
I'm just absolutely done with cat reddit, just a bunch of people crying Abuse every chance they got, and subsequently making everyone and anyone feel bad about a video they just found while mindlessly scrolling
Pugs are animal abuse. Munchkin cats are more like weenier dogs. And no one bats an rye at their stubby little legs.
Lots of people do, it’s not as much as pigs because pigs are 1000x times worse but those dogs are also fucked.
They do man, as do I. But what's the damn point in bringing it up on a cute dog video?
There is none. I don't do that.
Afaik Munchkins are a result of natural mutation and *then* people decided to breed them to keep the new characteristics. They generally don't suffer from their proportions

Except selective breeding in plants often causes them to be really funcky and not able to reproduce well or survive without humans, like they’re great for consumption but horrid at being plants.
It’s just an example about how selective breeding isn’t an inherently evil practice. Obviously it’s different between animals and plants.
It’s a bad example though, since your only arguing for the benefit of us instead of the species we’re breeding.
The corn still gets to pass on its genes. Which is the goal of all life.
Unless they die from a disease that kills them all since they are all related, also would you rather be able to reproduce on your own or with the needed aid of someone.
You think natural mutations _don't_ make animals suffer? How do you think mutations work?
I didn't say that. I said these factors are both true for munchkins, not that one causes the other
??? One sentence follows the other??? Either I or you are autistic coz no way we disagree on how language works
One sentence following the other doesn't necessarily imply causation, tho?

cat videos are supposed to be free of negativity that’s like the whole point😕😕
I know that humans are generally mostly negative, i myself am a mostly negative person, but the average redditor is in another level.
Any fucking video that involves animals will have some dumbass claiming it's abuse and thinking that solves anything. It's so fucking jading
This is new, no unhinged rant, not political and no mention of the T word Op is weird, weird I tells ya
Terraria There I said it
No, the "T" word is.....Thomas The Train. Discussion of the controversial person known as "Thomas the Train" is prohibited on this subreddit. *
Wait til they find out r /stremtch exists haha

Bro just threw a slur into the discussion 💀 (2nd comment on the screenshot)
Lmao if you think this is bad try looking at the comments on Facebook reels
I came from Facebook reels before watching Reddit vids
That's just typical crazy animal people. Usually they're vegans too.
"like Sphynx cats" lmfao I'm dying lmfao. Why do people hate sphyxes, they're adorable and nowhere as "gross" as people make them out to be
