Breed fraud or backyard breeder?
How about this for a breed fraud or backyard breeder:
http://www.americanmysterycat.com/ If you look at the gallery, some of the "foundation" photos are very obviously leopards/leopard cubs with cats' eyes drawn onto them. It's not even a subtle hoax. The supposed breed cats are just large black domestic cats. Duping the public or what?! |

The sad thing is that someone out there will be stupid enough to fall for it. |

The sad thing is that someone out there will be stupid enough to fall for it. On a previous version of his page he had a photo called "A TRUE Mystery Cat photographed in the wild" but this was recognized as a melanistic Geoffroy Cat named "Nico" from the Big Cat Rescue Website at http://www.bigcatrescue.org/geoffroy_cat_photos.htm . In other words a total lie and no mystery at all! After being contacted about those images, it seems that many of the photos on his site got removed and replaced by doctored ones. None of his story adds up either. All the initial cats either died or vanished. How convenient if someone challenges the story. But the 3 original females all left behind 8 week old kittens. All at the same time. And if all the cats come from those kittens, the inbreeding is at a dangerous level, because they are all closely related. It's a backyard breeder trying to make money out of large black cats and inventing a story as a marketing gimmick. |
