fenderfour Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I noticed a posting in the coffe area that someone is selling purebred kittens for $300 each. I just don't get it. Don't get me wrong, I like a well-mannered pussy as much as the next person, but what is it with purebred cats? I understand purebred dogs. You get something for the breeding. For instance: Golden Retriever - Loyal, active, great with kids Bloodhound - great hunter, looks funny Doberman Pinser - active, good guard dog. Even shitty little dogs like Yorkshire Terriers are better at eliminating rodents than cats. All of these dogs have personality traits that make them more than leash candy. Purebred cats however: Abyssinian - won't care if you are around, -might- use a litter box, licks it's own @$$hole. Ragdoll - won't care if you are around, -might- use a litter box, licks it's own @$$hole. Persian - won't care if you are around, -might- use a litter box, licks it's own @$$hole. Can anyone shed some light on why people would buy a cat for $300? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelawgoddess Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 like dogs, different breeds of cats have different looks, personalities and mannerisms. sometimes the differences are "big" and sometimes ... well, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
