Experts Warn Against Trend of 'Bully Cats' Due to Health Risks

The hybrid breed, resembling XL bully dogs, faces criticism for potential severe health issues and ethical concerns.

‘Bully cats’ are a new breed created by mixing hairless Sphynx cats with short-legged Munchkin cats, mirroring the controversial XL bully dogs.
Experts warn that these cats could have a significantly shorter lifespan due to health problems such as respiratory infections, arthritis, and skin cancer.
Animal welfare advocates criticize breeders for prioritizing aesthetics over the health and welfare of the animals, urging consumers to avoid purchasing these breeds.
The breed's popularity is rising on social media despite concerns, with breeders claiming the cats are health-tested and functional.
Calls for ethical breeding practices are growing to ensure future cats can enjoy natural behaviors without suffering from extreme physical traits.
