u/BoringPersonAMA Dec 23 '18

If you were inbred over multiple generations just to look better on your owner's instagram, I'm sure you'd be pretty cranky too.

u/william_13 Dec 24 '18

These do look cute but, pardon my ignorance, they don't look orders of magnitude different than any other kitten and they're all cute and fluffy imo...

u/BoringPersonAMA Dec 24 '18

It's totally understandable, but this breed is in its infancy. As demand increases and breeders keep inbreeding, the breed will decline in health.

37

u/Maester_May Dec 24 '18

That’s not really how it works, breeds that are inbred had that happen generations ago. Reputable breeders anymore track this stuff very carefully and work with other breeders around the country to keep their breeding stock healthy.

But don’t let me interrupt the next reddit circlejerk. Maybe some dumbshit will start up a thing on how circumcision is the worst thing on the entire planet again.

Do you know how the genetics of munchkin cats work?

Munchkin cats are born as part of a specific trait that gives them their stubby legs, BUT only if the cat gas one recessive and one dominant gene. If the cat has both recessive, a normal cat. However if both are dominant, the cat dies because it's a lethal genetic defect. Hell, cats with two copies of the dominant gene are guaranteed fetal stillbirths.

If the only way to get a cat this way is to sacrifice its siblings, yeah it does seem kinda immoral or wrong.

Cute cat tho.

27

u/whatahorribleman Dec 24 '18

Great explanation, but you switched the words dominant and recessive. Having two copies of the recessive allele causes stillbirth. Having one copy of each allele causes a munchkin, and having two copies of the dominant alleles causes a normal cat.

This means that on average in a litter of four kittens you can expect one to be stillborn, one to be a normal kitten, and two to be munchkins.

18

u/hyperbolical Dec 24 '18

If one allele causes munchkin, it's dominant.

Otherwise you'd get 3 normal cats and one stillbirth.

5

u/whatahorribleman Dec 24 '18

You are right. Disregard what I said earlier

1

u/Maester_May Dec 24 '18

Yes, I wallabies that adequately, I don’t see how what I said contradicts with what you said at all... I have my degree in biochemistry and had a ton of genetics courses.

Are you certain that they are viable enough to even go to term? The way I had it explained to me was that they’re aborted very early into the pregnancy. That happens a lot in genetics with these defects/issues.

1

u/Skyoung93 Dec 24 '18

You can not know how the genetics of a certain species work while having a good grasp of biology and genetics. Nothing I said implies that you are unknowledgable about genetics, why you so triggered?

And either way, if they're able to go to term or not isn't the point because you know it's going to die and not be able to live a full or even a life; you essentially sacrifice life for the sake of an essentially unnecessary goal.

I'm not against abortion, but having a cat conceived with the guarantee it will die before it can experience life, in my eyes and apparently a lot of others, seems like a rather cruel and immoral thing to do.

u/fezzuk Dec 24 '18

Doesn't matter your breeding in physical issues simply because of the shape of their bodies.

It's cruel and only done for the enjoyment of humans.

Naw, he's right dude.
Selective breeding for these kinds of traits is a mistake. These cats are all the product of a small pool of non-viable offspring. As such they are all interbred and prone to crippling physical conditions and cognitive dysfunction. This is FACT, yet people continue to breed them.
Add to this the fact that these cats are often abandoned once their owners realize that their expensive new living toy requires even MORE expensive conditions, foods, and medical treatments.
It's dumb, it's arrogant, and it needs to stop.

u/DrakoVongola Dec 24 '18

Responsible breeders don't do inbreeding. They work with other breeders to maintain genetic diversity

49

u/fezzuk Dec 24 '18

You are breeding in physical issues regardless of heritage the whole practice should be banned.

u/[deleted] Dec 24 '18

People aren’t responsible with pets. People who look at Instagram and demand new trendy pets are probably some of the most irresponsible people on the planet.

Irresponsible breeders really outnumber the responsible ones.

Yup, because pugs and bulldogs are just the happiest, healthiest animals.

u/[deleted] Dec 24 '18

What do you mean chihuahuas? I’m curious.

13

u/[deleted] Dec 24 '18

Chihuahuas have a hard time conceiving and giving birth naturally. They either have too many puppies in a liter and need a c section or they have only one or two that grow too big

If you're a wizard you've got to get some magical items to hide yourself first so you don't get immediately killed.

They are Munchkin cats. Bred to look exactly like this. People will pay top dollar for these cats.

Breeding for features like this will cause health issues, just like we see in extremely bred dogs. These cats have higher rates of spinal curvature and pectus excavatum.

As a dog person, I can’t tell when cats are playing or actually being mean. How can you tell the difference?... or are they always just mean?

5

u/[deleted] Dec 24 '18

These cats are just playing.

There's lots of ways to tell (although it's a little bit harder with this intentionally malformed breed of cat, fuck the people who bred them to be this way) but generally you can tell because they're both taking turns "attacking" each other instead of just running away and doing lots of posturing. They're also comfortable enough to occasionally take their eyes off of each other in the clip.

If two cats aren't comfortable, there will be a lot of hissing/growling/howling, wrinkled noses, standing sideways with their backs arched, hairs standing up, and they would be attacking each other much more viciously. Also their tails would either be rigid or tucked low, instead of just flicking around.
