One thing I see happen when a piece of media with a specific animal becomes popular, is that the specific animal becomes more popular with buyers. I feel an inkling as an animal lover to do a PSA about some of the health issues a Persian cat has to try to curb people buying the breed. I say this with no judgement but Persian cats are a brachycephalic breed which comes with similar breathing problems you would see in a pug. I know Princess Donut the Queen Anne Chonk would hate to be compared to a dog but it’s true and it’s something as a society we should all be aware of and make educated choices on how we selectively breed our animals.
Sorry to make an attempt at an educational post on a fun plateform but I hope others agree this information should be spread. Here is a website that has more information on the topic.
