A type of
cat who, through several generations of inbreeding, have
abnormally short front
legs. Since their
creation by Karma Farms in Texas there has been a huge backlash by
animal rights groups calling the practice of breeding these cats with
useless front legs
inhumane.
Karma Farms latest project is creating cats with no front legs.
Update 11/11/02: CamTarn informed me that Karma Farms no longer breeds Twisty Cats and will not seek to create further deformations. Perhaps their karma caught up with them (ahh bad joke, sorry).
I usually don't like to put
weblinks on e2, but you need to see what these cats look like to understand why so many people are
polarized on the issue of twisty cats. Here is a pro-TC page
