I totally agree MoosMum but Good Breeders (and yes there are some - Bastet's breeder was wonderful - when Bastet got the calici virus - she helped me pay the vet bills) keep some genetic qualities in cats alive.

I beleive personally that there should be strict policies regarding pet ownership and breeding of animals but usually when I state this I get howled down over the rights of people. Sorry but I am sure that if they tested people as potential pet owners first there would be no such thing as abuse to the extent we have now.

People have the right to choose, pets don't. We should protect them all.
