My parents always get purebred cats and I always get shelter cats. Without fail, my cats have been smarter, healthier, and more active than theirs. You can’t beat nature's evolutionary hand.

My cat is a shelter cat, but she's as dumb as a post. But I love my little idiot.

At least posts don't take to sniffing bleach, unlike my own shelter cat idiot. Seriously, I actually have to keep the bathroom door closed after I clean if for hours so she doesn't go in and roll around in the stuff
