Ah the trials of summer. I’m sad stuck inside working all day even though it’s beautiful out. Dave is sad stuck inside all day because I’m stuck inside all day. Nobody here is winning.

We got a cat! She likes perching above my desk and watching bird TV in the back yard. The cone is off now, thankfully.

This may be rather specific, but is there any breed that is bred for... Health? I know good breeders will do their best to screen for diseases and try to retire any cat that is prone to them, but is there any breed where the entire point is trying to make the healthiest, most functional animal out there?
Yeah, natural selection has given us the domestic shorthair.
Snarkiness aside, most cat breeds are really solid. Most cat breeds aren't bred to the same extreme body modification that dogs are. Outcrossing between breeds is pretty normal and encouraged in most breeds. Fédération Internationale Féline (FIFe) has actually banned several breeds, including Munchkins and Scottish folds. This is major because FIFe is part of the World Cat Congress, which is a sort of federation of the largest cat fancies with a focus on improving cat health in general. By banning these breeds, FIFe is effectively making a stand and hopefully other clubs will follow their example. They will, if their members make enough of a fuss.
There are absolutely outliers in cat breeds. Scottish folds, munchkins, extremely brachy persians and other short-faced breeds are all inherently unhealthy animals that should not be bred.
But, in general, cat breeds aren't as prone to fancy bastard diseases as dog breeds are.

dave contributes only the highest-quality commentary
This is the oldest ask in my inbox and I've saved it because I think of it every time Dave sits on my keyboard, however I am doing a Purge and deleting all 67 asks in my inbox so it is time to release this to the world.... Dave DOES contribute only the highest quality commentary.

Dave sleeps on my bed every night and Kepler sleeps closed in the cat room. Somehow they’ve switched tonight and I am unsure how or why

I am a friend to all cats. Yes even the mean ones. They have their reasons.
