Bullycats: The Controversial New Breed Gaining Popularity

A new controversial trend in pet breeding originating in the UK is raising a lot of alarm among animal advocates and cat fans. Named Bullycats, the new ‘designer’ breed resembles the hairless Sphynx cat, featuring exaggerated physical characteristic typical of bully dog breeds – a short low body and bowed legs, as well as an incredibly wrinkled skin. While having been bred in the US, Bullycats are gaining popularity on various social media platforms, including Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram, where the exceptional appearance of these carriers of new innovative breeding ideas is their main advantage. Animal welfare organizations, such as the Naturewatch Foundation, as well as experts, warn that this exaggerated physical conformity might have severe implications for the health of the cats in the future.

The appeal to the audience in the case of the new breeding trend is evident: however, potential cat owners should resist and avoid acquiring a cat with such unnatural physical characteristics since the possibility of them having health problems due to the breeding methods is highly likely. The public should take a stance against the new breeding trend and act to ensure the health of the cats and the animal welfare in general, helping to prevent the extended suffering of the new designer pets.
