The views expressed are opinion and commentary based on personal experience and professional ethics, and are sharedfor the purpose of education, transparency, and constructive discussion.

Something happened in the cat world that raised serious questions — not about personalities or drama, but about ethics, consent, power, and who really gets to decide what happens to a breed.
