Reply to comment by misskittysquirrel in (OC) What do you suspect they want? by evilbunny101

I read the articles. I take mine to the vet regularly. They’re spayed and neutered, vaccines up to date. My oldest boy has a heart defect that I give him vet prescribed pills for, daily. They, and the other 3 not pictured, are well cared for. I always wanted one after taking care of rescues for so long. Happenstance lead me to have 4. My eldest cats are rescues and will be 13 this year.

Also you commented elsewhere that you got 4 scottish folds from the same breeder. That's not "happenstance". Scottish folds tend to get hypertrophic cardiomyopathy too, so enjoy! I'm actually not knocking for for wanting to get a specific breed instead of a random dumpster cat, but for getting THAT breed heck yeah.

I got them from the same breeder that has veterinary training and her daughter is a veterinarian. I paid for one. I ended up with 4. I used "happenstance" the correct way. I understand arthritis and joint pain. I felt that getting them from a breeder was the same notion as getting my Labrador from a breeder. I made myself aware of their health issues.

Except a Labrador doesn't have a life long of pain because of his breeding. I'm glad my government banned them altogether (Netherlands).
