bravo!….had a barn cat for 23 years and she was never sick a day in her life….not quite the same thing, but still

There’s also the robust mongrel effect. Overbreed any creature, dog, horse, or man (the Hapsburgs and the British royal family are prime examples of the latter) and you get degeneration and inherited diseases like hip dysplasia in German Shepherds. In the case of Germans (of the Nazi variety), the brain is the first thing to go. Google “Nueva Germania” + Paraguay to see what I mean.
