Thanks for the excellent posting.
I vaguely remember seeing either a doc or reading an article about a headless chicken. The owner fed it through the hole in the neck... Lived a long time after the incident.
exactly! you beat me to it
Thanks for the "heads up" on this, Mhking! LOL
Have you seen the Kandoo ads? My 4 year old calls the Kandoo wipes the "frog wiping his butt" wipes. The logo even depicts a frog wiping his butt.
And some dumb lady who was also there said, "Oh, is that a special breed?"
Yeah, lady, they breed em like that.
Actually some people do breed cats for deformities - Google "munchkin cats" or "twisty cats". Example:
http://www.munchkins.com/Kittens_for_sale.html
Munchkins I'm undecided on, but breeding twisty cats seems reprehensible.
As far as the munchkins go, I cannot believe they allowed that to become a breed. You are just asking for health problems when you start to deform an animal through breeding.
And munchkins look wrong, too. It is not cute, IMO.
As always, you're welcome.
Grrr-OSSSSS! No, haven't seen them, hope I don't!
Well of course not, silly.
But when the desired characteristic is a physical deformity, something other than things like a spotted coat or a sweet temperament, and generally here I am talking about defects in bone structure such as Dachshunds and Persians, people need to understand that there will be problems.
And with those additional problems come additional expenses, which most people never consider when buying a Pug or a Himalayan or any other animal that has been bred with specific physical traits that you would not find in nature.
And then those animals suffer because people aren't willing to spend the money that it takes to maintain the health of those creatures. And that makes me mad.
My understanding is that munchkins can be expected to develop hip/joint problems later in life.
So does that cat have 18 lives?
Serious mental illness.
Oh, how neat,a cat with two faces to give you the "go F___ A Rock" when you want something from them.
didn't say whether the second face actually eats anything - but I would love to put a big rib bone down and watch the action....must have 2 brains, the mouths look intact...what a wonder!
I am all for SAVING all of God's creatures even if they have deformities, but I hate the idea of CREATING and experimenting with these poor animals - they never really told us how many sheep were born in such bizarre configurations as they cloned the clone sheep...ugh...I am not even going to look that up......
People are so stupid. They are conjoined twins.
Video of conjoined twin kittens:

These are darling babies. Plural. Apparently they can't latch, and they are crying because they are HUNGRY. HELLO! Get a tiny bottle of milk replacement for these hungry cats you people!
And the mother (human) is just sitting there in the background.
Ah yes...Vicki Speirs....Frankenstein woman. Another good reason for beheadings.
That's an obvious hoax, but that won't stop me from threatening my own cats with it ;)
