That's actually not why. Both my cats are rescues. My point was that kneejerk "ban this one breed" takes aren't helpful and don't address the core issues.

Requiring by law genetic tests on pedigree cats and veterinary sign-off that the lines are healthy would go a long way to solving these issues.
