I'm also EXTREMELY disappointed in the fact that they showed a munchkin cat - which are really not one of the healthier breeds.. they couldn't find a black kitten at the local shelter - knowing one of the hosts doing the segment was afraid of cats?? seriously? <br /><br />I tend to be more of a GMA girl myself because they tend to be a bit more pro-cat.. Having Dan Harris on the staff kinda helps with that.Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127077337743262149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182681216854437149.post-65554499576617699672015-03-16T00:04:06.913-04:002015-03-16T00:04:06.913-04:00They did keep saying that the bad luck was a myth....They did keep saying that the bad luck was a myth. I didn't put too much stock in the lady because she seemed to be uncomfortable around the tortoise....and I'm not sure what she thought it was going to do. What bothered me more is that they brought out a munchkin cat, which might make people curious about them and promote their breeding.
