So it's bothering me lately. Why Persians and Siamese? DH thinks that it's because they are seen as "the rich people cats" and therefore BYBs see them as more likely to sell at a higher price, but how true is this?
I'm bothered by the number of Persians and Siamese (and Himmies) that I'm seeing showing up in pet stores lately, and it's truly saddening me as somebody who particularly loves the Persian breed.
Part of me is still debating taking on Persians (if/when I start to breed) instead of Ragdolls, in particular because I've owned Persians before. But how over-bred are they right now? And *why?*
