Munchkin katt I Norge?

[AnonymBruker]

Vil du virkelig støtte avl av slike katter? Utrolig trist. De har større risiko for artrose og et liv med smerter. Om du vil ha en rasekatt finnes det også andre som ikke er avlet opp på misdannelser.

"Due to a deleterious genetic mutation, the limb bones of Munchkin cats fail to grow normally. Because of their resulting short legs, the behaviour of these cats is affected and they may be predisposed to painful osteoarthritis. A proportion of kittens born to Munchkin parents dies prior to birth because of this serious genetic mutation. Many breed clubs refuse to recognise this breed. We suggest that, because of risks to quality of life, cats with this abnormality should not be used for breeding"
