I LOVE that you are doing cat episodes now! I love cats so much! I can't wait until you do more cats!!!!

[@mikef3300]

Until a little over a year ago I had never shared my home with a cat. We had dogs growing up. One day I was about to walk Jester my Great Dane/American Bulldog mix and there was a tiny kitten on the porch. Jester is 140lbs and stands 33” at his shoulder yet this little kitten walked fearlessly up to him. Jester looked confused but gave the kitten a lick of approval so instead of a walk we went for a car ride to the pet store. Once there a nice lady helped us find everything we needed to keep the kitten alive. Now she’s grown into a beautiful long haired tuxedo cat named Lilith and the two of them have become great friends. I never thought I’d have a cat but now I can’t imagine her not being here. She keeps Jester company while I’m at work, makes me laugh with her crazy antics and since she showed up I haven’t seen a mouse in the house. That was an unforeseen bonus.

I love that you are doing the cat breeds as well!

If you haven't seen Anneka's Wolf-Cat episode, it is definitely worth a watch. I've had and loved many dogs but I'm mostly a cat person as I received cat-mojo from my mother's tomcat while in bassinet.

[@mmfitter6731]

The kitten is so cute!

[@traceyg2703]

The femur of a cat, ( or any 4 legged animal ), is not in the front leg. So if you're describing the shortened front legs, you're talking about the radius and ulna bones.

[@rughuggers]

Omg you a right, and I stand corrected on that! My vet said it was the femur! 🤷‍♀️

[@SoraiaLMotta]

Can you do british and scotish cat breeds ? May not be very unussual but being closed to the source May give very indeep information.

its gotta be the good old british short hair.... I haVe one, and of all the breeds i have had in the past....there by far my number 1

[@herrtrigger7220]

Why the continuous introductions? Well past the halfway mark she's still saying "I decided to sit down with Helen and find out about them". First scene asks many questions, next scene repeats all those questions again to extend the video's run time, too much 'fluff'.

This is so cruel.....so horrible..... This goes 100% against the cats instincts. They LOVE jumping, climbing, lying in high places...imagine having all those natural instincts but not being able to do anything at all....and destroying all the gracefulness and elegance of the cat...i hate this...poor animals 😢

[@awesomesaucefr]

I dont get it.

[@chainamarie03]

How freaking cruel. Why must ppl breed any animal that looks disabled. There must be a lot of stress on these cats' spine. 😡

How ignorant! Are meercats, squirrels, and ferrets cruel too then? You can clearly see how happy and healthy these cats are! They do not have back problems like dachshunds.

[@reloadpsi]

Somebody I know rescued one of these. Her game was Brambles and we nicknamed her the Rug Slug. She was super cute and friendly, and did indeed look like a very fast, very fuzzy slug when she walked.

[@HebuTheLoneWolf]

im more of a canine person my self, mainly due to their size. i like hugging and cuddling them puppers :)

[@Finnthetherianbork]

Me to I have my own dog the reason I like dogs pretty much more is because cats won’t let me hug em 😭

[@swansonganimalcommunicatio4207]

Simease please Erika xxx

[@Amauna1]

These cats always get me upset. They’re genetically artificial and no one knows how people’s preferences impact their health..

[@rughuggers]

I do know because I've had over 10 year experience, and not one bad experience or health issues

[@bruzzaab]

These cats don't have a agility of a regular cat it's cruel they can't defend themselves or jump gruel breeding

[@AgentRafa]

They should be strictly indoor cats imo, and I'm sure they are.

[@rughuggers]

Trust me they defend their selves just like any other cat..They stand up on their hind legs and would swipe their opponent out! Nothing they can't do, not disabled in any way, which the video clearly shows.

[@rughuggers]

This is simply not true, I have short and normal leg cats and they all hold their own, they are just as feisty as a normal leg cat

[@rughuggers]

They are just as agile, they jump and climb like any other cat, I have never had any back issues, cats are more lythe in the body than a dog, u can't compare the 2.. My experience has been very possitive, so unless I'm just very lucky, there's the proof...No domestic cat would survive well on the wild of course because they have bred to be domestic?

[@pennyfullerton3529]

this lady who's been 'breeding this cat for 10 years' clearly doesn't know much about it, the femur is only in the back legs and definitely not the front legs, which have 2 bones called the radius and ulna... I don't agree with this at all, it seems like they are only being bred to look cute which shouldn't be a reason to breed an animal... 😠

[@HighOnScience]

As long as us humans keeps setting the bar for life by doing a Cesar esk shaped thumbs up or down, I guess they are "absolutely lovable and so amaziiiiing", if that turns bad at any point...someone buying this cat when they have a good paying job but then gets fired. Imagine a normally built cat that gets thrown out,...then imagine THIS cats fate when it happens....

[@rughuggers]

Id like to think they would rehome it!

[@Lila_282]

First!

[@itsicandy]

Rug hugger? I thought they were called munchkin cats lol. Must be a North American name for them.

[@jkwild4491]

Didn't you hear them say it's a mix of munchkin and persian

[@rughuggers]

Rughugger is just another name the Americans came up with, I thought it was rather cute! However TICA names them Minuets also originally known as Napoleons 😊
