I just want a rottweiler!!! Also a Ragdoll cat :D
Actually my mom had one growing up, someone got them by accident :o I have seen a picture or two of it in old albums, it had short front legs and sat up like a bunny.Quote:

As far as the "cabbits" subject goes maybe I'm loony but there is NO WAY it is possible to breed a rabbit with a cat. They are completely different species.
I have heard of "twisty cats" or something like that...cats bred with tiny front legs and larger back legs so they have to hop to get around. Poor cats!
Uh, yeah there's so way possible to breed a rabbit and a cat seeing they are two different species.

I think you are thinking of twisty cats because a cabbit is not genetically possible.
I've always thought it would be fun to have a monkey.
I had a Manx once, and people often asked me if she was part rabbit because of how she hopped all the time!:)
What is a twisty cat??
I would like to have ... another dog!!! LOL
I can't think of anyother animal I would want!!!
I LOVE DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!
"Twisty cats are caused by a genetic mutation called radial hypoplasia, in which all or no part of the long bone from elbow to wrist, is missing, leaving either no front paws or only vestigial paws. "Quote:

What are twisty cats?
It's really sad that people will breed an animal with a genetic deformity because it's "cute".
I saw a red-front parrot at Petco the other day, and ever since then, I've been dying to have that bird!!! It was SO cute and sweet. Other than that, I would love to have an African Grey or Cockatoo.
After birds, my first pet choice would be a cat. I ***love*** cats, and really hope I have one in my life someday.
A horse
I really want a tarantula. :eek: I'm not sure why, but I'm fascinated by them. All other spiders terrify me.

I've already had parakeets, rats, ferrets, fish, cats, and of course dogs. I'll have many of these again some day. (after the terriers are at the RB)
I'd like to have horses and a snake also.
It's physically IMPOSSIBLE for tow totally different specis to mate like a cat and a rabbit! Here's a great website that may clear the myth from your head!Quote:

But I would love to have a pygmy goat or two! :)
Uabassoon Thank you for using the proper medical name for these cats. Radial Hypoplasia or Radial Adenesis!!;) ;) The term "Twisty Kat" was coined by Vicki Speir in Texas who bred, and maybe still does breed these genetic mutations of the polydactyl genes. I posted about several of my rescued RA/RH kitties during my time here. I'll add the link about him in a moment, just don't have a clue how to pause here, and find the post! Calling them 'Twisty Kats' only glorifies what I spent over a year petitoning against..the deliberate breeding of grossly deformed cats! :( Jan P.S The term TWISTY KAT really makes me think of wringing out a wet towel or something! UGHHH!:rolleyes:

Kirby has the more severe form of this birth defect radial agenesis, which translates to absence of bone in the radial bone (main leg bone). I've rescued several of these kitties off the streets now, and my dearest, and badly missed Willy is at the R.B. :(
Sorry about that, I didn't realize that I was glorifing them. From now on I will call them by their proper name.Quote:
Uabassoon etc. PLEASE, I beg you...use the proper medical name for these cats.
