Paris Bought a Dwarf Cat
Paris has bought herself a dwarf cat and was seen clutching the miniature grey feline as she exited her car.
Paris has been slammed for purchasing the unusual cat because the specialist breed has numerous health problems.
The cats are said not to be able to function like normal sized felines, and cannot jump properly because their bow legs are too short. They can also break the bones in their limbs when landing because their legs aren’t long enough to absorb the shock.
Hollywood gossip writer Janet Charlton wrote on her website: “She’s way off base with her mini-cat. She’s got a cat that was bred to be a tiny dwarf and like most dwarves it has short bowed legs. Breeding animals to be dwarfs or midgets is unethical and they usually have numerous health problems because of it. They’re cute, but not healthy or able to function like a regular cat.”

Hi,
Paris likes small animals as do a lot of other people. She has a collection, I believe. Cat breeders picked up on this many years ago in the 1980s. This is to be expected in a world run by business. What should be made clear is that dwarfism in cats occurred naturally, initially, and breeders simply bred from that beginning. These cats are therefore naturally occurring although rare. A good breeder will ensure that the cats bred are as healthy as possible and free of any associated health problems that go with the dwarf gene anomaly such as chest and posture problems.
So, lets not be too hard on Paris!
Regards
Michael
