Here's a post from (and I detest this term ) from Twisty Ban (a Yahoo group). Apparently there's a new 'breeder' of these cats in Fulton, N.Y. and I'm trying to find out info on this latest psycho so called breeder. Ughhh. And it baffles me that anyone would even perpetuate this obvious cruelty by purchasing one from a breeder! Copied, and pasted...

Subject: Re: Vicki Speirs-=--CONTINUES HER EVIL PRODUCTION OF TWISTY CATS

I have a twisty female that I got from a breeder in Fulton, NY. Vickie is not the only insane person breeding these "thalidomide" cats. This breeder states "these cats are unique, different and cute". As far as the vets comments in Vickies report, he needs some "help" also. Enough said!!!!!!!!! My little girl had 4 other siblings that died at birth or shortly after. She was very immune compromised at birth with upper respiratory and herpes which she battles on a regular basis. She also has arthritis (legs, back, etc.) and she is only 1.5 yrs. old. L-Lysine (at flaire-up times) glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM plus colostrum, probiotics, enzymes, and natural foods are daily routine in our household. Those of you that have experience with these babies know the problems they experience on a daily basis. Yes, of course, they adopt because they know no difference, but ????????????????? She is my baby and I try to do the best by her.

Thank you for listening. The bad part of this whole scenario is we have no control over this practice, no laws against it!!!!!!!!!
