#and cheza came from a breeder and aster came from a barn

[zooophagous]

I'm in a lot of fancy bastard cat groups on Facebook and every now and then I see someone asking for help because their new kitten is terrified and hissing and acting feral and I see a lot of "oh just give them time to decompress" and while yes these kittens will eventually come out of it, nobody ever seems to point out that this is sort of a really bad sign about the breeder?

I mean shit, feral barn kittens from a shelter come out cheerful and purring and happy to see you and you're telling me it's normal for a baby kitten, who hasn't grown up feral, that came from a breeders home to act like it's never been touched before?

Like this is a kitten someone raised??? What the fuck did they do to it???
