Taylor Swift's cats are in constant pain


Recommended Posts

...animal welfare experts have urged her fans not to copy Swift's cats, saying the same characteristics that make the breed cute also condemn them to a life of constant pain.

Quote

Swift has three cats, two of which, Olivia Benson and Meredith Grey, are Scottish folds, a breed distinguished by a genetic mutation that makes their ears fold flat and gives them an "owl-like" appearance. But the same gene that causes floppy cartilage in their ears also causes osteochondrodysplasia, which leads to abnormal bone growth, arthritis and severe pain.

 

Ironically, in Scotland, where the breed originated and where Swift plays her first UK date in Edinburgh on 7 June, the breeding of Scottish folds is in effect banned, while other countries, including the Netherlands, Australia and Norway, have also placed restrictions on them on animal welfare grounds.

They go to the studio with her? 

well at least their folded ears will partially block the sound of TTPD, so they won't be in too much pain

she can use red as an antibiotic though:gaycatina1:

I heard she takes them on her jet to unblock those ears, that's the main reason for her frequent flights

With that owner... how wouldn't they?

Posted

pain because of genetic mutation, torture because of her voice at home, trauma from the jet noise, depression from being left at home while she's touring.

I expect in 24 hours for a swiftie to compile a list of top 10 celebs that also own Scottish folds.

Best believe one of them will be Billie's fourth cousin three times removed
