The impact of this social media craze on the real-world

Cat breeders and those who own cat homes are a bit concerned about the fact that people have started opting for cats by their looks and not their behavior or personality. It could lead to some real-world implications.

Rob Young who is head of catteries at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home said:

“We do have concerns that people are choosing cats solely for the way they look, rather than for their temperament or personality.”

He added:

“We also think it’s leading to more impulse buying, people bringing in cats for rehoming are increasingly saying they bought them online. Meanwhile, black cats in particular are harder to rehome — and we think one reason is that they don’t show up so well in photographs.”
