Well of course inbreeding is still a problem for cats, dogs and everything else. Inbreeding leads to a lot of fluctuations in genetic traits, which is usually bad (though also the source of evolution, if culling is performed, this is why most breads of dog are heavily inbred, and also heavily culled)

The question really is "why is this a problem?" So if the kitties are dumb, how does this really effect the role they are to play? A modern house cat does something between jack and shit. Once upon a time they were pest control, but thats rarely what people use them for anymore.

Really the only major problem with stupid kitties I can think of is not getting the whole "litterbox thing" You could always call the SPCA, and ask them what they think, I'm sure they are rife with useful opinions.
