A breeder of XL dog-style ‘Bullycats’ has hit back at criticism, insisting they are as ‘happy and healthy’ as any other family pets despite their controversial appearance.
Bella Jones, who runs breeding firm BullyCats UK, says people should be better educated – insisting her animals are ‘health tested and completely functional’.
She spoke out after warnings were issued this week about hairless ‘Bullycats’ with ‘exaggerated’ features being bred in Britain and gaining what has been dubbed a ‘disturbing following’ on social media.
The ‘unnatural’ sphynx-like breed has short bowed legs and heavily wrinkled skin – much like an XL Bully dog.
And experts raised concerns about the ‘horrifying’ growing designer fad which could involve the animals going on to suffer serious health issues – with cat lovers urged to not buy them and instead boycott the breed.

Ms Jones responded to the backlash against Bullycats and promising to share more positive endorsements of the breed to help convince people otherwise.
Potential buyers are assured cats gets ‘extensive’ health checks for conditions such as heart disease Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Bully Girl Magazine has reported.
And Ms Jones today posted on Facebook: ‘All of our cats are happy, health tested and completely functional.’
