I disagree. As stated, the impact of purebred cats on the ovepopulation problem
is insignificant.

and the unnecessary death of even one cat because of
displacement by a "purebred" is one too many.

Sure, and every person that adopts a dog instead of cat is contributing to the
needless death of cats. In fact, everyone who doesn't have any cats at all
right now is contributing to the death of cats by not adopting as many as their
house will hold. Sheesh, that's ridiculous.

I don't care if all the
so-called breeds disappeared tomorrow if it meant that less cats were
killed. The life of a cat is inherently important to me. How the cat
looks is not.

If all breeds disappeared, it wouldn't mean fewer cats would be killed however,
and that's why focusing on an aspect of the problem that is insignificant seems
silly to me.


These specious arguments about temperament and knowing the lineage, etc.
is nothing more than pretentious bull****.

Sure, because you know better than an individual him or herself which cat is
the right one to adopt.
