some jurisdictions restrict breeding of cats with heritable defects. <em>O que fazer:<\/em> choose ethical sources, ask about gait\/mobility history, provide ramps\/steps, and avoid encouraging high jumps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclus\u00e3o:<\/strong> This isn\u2019t about shaming owners\u2014it&#8217;s about making a fully informed, welfare-first choice.
