Right Chuck, that probably is the ONLY advantage of having a purebred (or so called purebred). I'm convinced that the purbreds have a whole lot of health problems than I'd ever want to contend with again. All future kitties will be the who knows what's in it cat - my 2 tabbies of unknown origins are the best - not that I don't love my Siameseeses cause I do, but I hope I never have another one like Spencer (the throwup Master of the Universe)
