i was just fascinated by the part about cats, as a species, imprinting on
food and non-food when very young. makes so much sense in terms of
those who will kill for human food while others couldn't care less, and how
difficult it is to change their diets. i'm hoping that one of the books

All domestic cat breeds were a creation of humans. Humans find a quality they
like in
a cat, and find other cats that have that quality, and breed those cat

Ditto my dear. I love some of the purebred dogs, but I love ALL dogs

People desiring a pure-bred cat, dog can do "searches" on Petfinder/similar

It's amazing how many ofthese pure-breds also suffer the same fate as
the "others".
Shelters are way over crowded, more animals are being "dumped" than
adopted, so the cycle continues.
my comment about there always being enough persians came from this reality--i, too, cannot sanction breeding, yetlove the specific characteristics of persians so i feel sort of guilty that i can have the best of both worlds yet, if people were to stop taking in rescued persians, would that
