Author Topic: Getting a purebred siamese kitten  (Read 1143 times)

Really excited about this, I was supposed to get it on thursday for my birthday but I'm getting it now.
Ill post pictures when I get her

Are you adopting her? Also I don't like cats, but I do like Persians.

you shouldn't buy purebred animals
well, not dogs, anyway
I have no idea whether or not people have ruined cats

I have two siberian huskies

;)

Why not?

Aw! I love Huskies! Did you get them from a breeder?

Why not?
first of all, adopting is morally better anyway, regardless of what kind of animal you're getting, because then that's one less animal in a shelter

I know, but I'd much rather get a purebred. The feeling of taking in an animal who didn't get to experience life positively is rewarding, but many of these animals require so much more extra care and they become very costly with medical bills. They are more likely to get sick rather than a purebred.

show me your sources of this information please
purebred animals are the ones known for health issues. it's from inbreeding
pugs for example. they have issues such as trouble breathing and skin problems. because of inbreeding

Yeah, and adopting an animal does not mean they will become costly with medical bills. If you do it properly, all you have to do is get their shots and get them neutered, after that they won't ever need to go to the vet, except for any incidents that a purebred cat would just as likely encounter.

why are you taking advice with animals from a possible zoophiliac is beyond me

i'm sure the fourms would love to see some pics of it once you get it

I used to have a siamese cat. Tho it was the opposite of purebred lol

I used to work at a veterinary clinic and those cats came in with extreme respiratory issues all the time.

Its 1:00 AM, I'll get pictures tomorrow, she is 6 weeks old
