no. they can have deformities of any sort. and extra toes which can lead to walking problems as the cat gets older. my cat has 24 toes, which we got from a house that had like 20 cats. there was a few deformed ones too. so no it is not safe to inbreed cats, or any animal for that matter.

∙ 15y agoIt's not advisable for the same reason inbreeding in humans and other animals is not advisable. There is a greater risk of the resultant kittens inheriting two copies of a harmful recessive allele than if they bred with unrelated cats and thus a greater risk of them suffering from a genetic disorder.
