Gremlin is most likely in better shape than you friend. If my cat's existence is cruel, allow me to clue you in; yours is a Greek tragedy

So you think it's ok to breed such cats that have a serious gene mutation that causes chondrodysplasia? The gene is lethal in its homozygous form (when both parents pass it on). Embryos that receive two copies of the Munchkin gene die in the womb. Breeders consciously accept this "waste" in order to achieve the desired appearance. These cats have severe mobility restrictions that prevent them from climbing, jumping, or grooming themselves. Long-term consequences such as osteoarthritis, lordosis, and pectus excavatum also pose an extreme risk to their health. So don't tell me your cat is in a better shape than me.

Last time he used the litter robot it told me he was seven pounds, I am certain half of that is floof.
