Are Ragdoll cats destructive?

PoC avatarPosted on April 29, 2020 by Michael BroadApril 30, 2020

You can’t ask if Ragdoll cats are destructive as it is unwise to generalise too much particularly as this character trait is unusual. The question presupposes that all the cats of a single cat breed have exactly the same character … Continue reading →

What is a punch face cat?

PoC avatarPosted on March 12, 2020 by Michael BroadMarch 13, 2020

‘Punch face’ is an unfortunate term to describe the modern Persian cat. The term is based on violence which makes it innapropriate. This is a punch face cat: Below is an alternative image. The Persian cat in the image below … Continue reading →

Do male cats recognise their own kittens?

PoC avatarPosted on February 13, 2019 by Michael BroadNovember 7, 2020

Do male cats recognise their own kittens? I am referring to domestic cats because I’m sure the question is about domestic cats. It’s impossible to find a clean and direct answer to the question and therefore it is a good … Continue reading →

Why are domestic cats all the same size but dog size varies a lot?

PoC avatarPosted on July 27, 2018 by Michael BroadJuly 27, 2018

Domestic dogs vary in size much more that cats because they have been selectively breed for a much longer time. With a head start of thousands of years the relentless selective breeding of dogs has forced their sizes to new … Continue reading →

Are humans bonkers? Bad breeding creates ugliest dog and then we give the owner an award!

PoC avatarPosted on June 25, 2018 by Michael BroadMarch 12, 2020

There is so much that is crappy about this example of human behaviour in relation to pets. Bad breeding of both cats and dogs can produce some pretty distressing anatomical distortions. For cats Persians get the accolade: overshot jaws and … Continue reading →

Why Do People Let Their Cats Breed?

Is “responsible breeder” an oxymoron?

PoC avatarPosted on September 18, 2017 by Michael BroadSeptember 18, 2017

For me “responsible breeder” is an oxymoron. To PETA it is also an oxymoron. To many other people it is not. An oxymoron, as you might know, is when two words are used together which are contradictory. The point that … Continue reading →

Outing Bad Breeders or Online Bullying?

PoC avatarPosted on August 24, 2017 by Michael BroadAugust 24, 2017

By Sarah Hartwell On the face of it, social networking forums for outing bad breeders are a good idea, right? They identify backyard breeders, breeders who sell sickly kittens, and cat hoarders. I’ve found that it’s not that straightforward because … Continue reading →

What are britches on a cat?

PoC avatarPosted on January 20, 2017 by Michael BroadJanuary 20, 2017

People ask about britches on a cat. The use of language concerned with Western clothes and applying it to the appearance of cats is quite common amongst cat breeders. Personally I don’t like it. The ‘ruff’ is another term. I … Continue reading →
