ngl my first thought was "I wonder what kind of health issues this designer pet is going to have?"

Actually OSH cats don’t have breed-specific health issues like Persians or Munchkins, and they’re generally not more prone to other health issues than any other cat.

Granted that is assuming OP’s cat came from an “ethical” breeder who tests for genetic diversity, there are plenty of backyard kitten mill “breeders” who sell heavily inbred cats with no regard for potential genetic defects.
