That is the shocking claim from Angus woman Claire Lindsay (42), who has hit out at pet owners allowing their cats to indulge in uncontrolled mating in a bid to make a 'quick buck'. Claire has been breeding Siamese and ragdoll cats as a hobby for 12 years and has run her own pet services business in Carnoustie for the past eight years.
She said the last few years had seen a 'flood' in the marketplace for both pedigree and common cats, while animals charities struggle to cope with the rate the felines are being abandoned.'The problem is that these days anybody can breed cats it's just horrific, ' said Claire, who only sells cats that have been neutered, inoculated and fully health checked.
