Is it better to keep cats at home or free-range?

In the traditional concept of keeping a cat, it is the duty of a good cat to release it, sleep at home during the day and catch mice at night. In today's society, cats not only appear in people's lives as working animals, but also as companion animals. We should keep pace with the times, change old ideas and keep cats at home. So why not have a cat? Let's take a look at the dangers of cat stocking.

1, cats will bring back parasites and germs.

Cats outdoors can easily bring back fleas, lice and other ectoparasites from grass and sand. These parasites carry tapeworms, roundworms and other parasites, which can be transmitted to people through cats. Cats in captivity will inevitably catch small animals such as mice and birds, and will also bring back germs.

2. Cats are prone to infectious diseases.

Cats will come into contact with stray cats nearby, and they will be easily infected with malignant infectious diseases such as feline plague, feline AIDS, peritonitis, etc., which will not only cost money and manpower to treat diseases, but also kill cats. In addition, if the stocked cats eat unclean things outside, it will also cause gastrointestinal diseases such as vomiting and diarrhea.

3. The number of stray cats will increase due to the disorderly reproduction of cats.

Families with cats generally have no awareness of scientific cat raising and will not sterilize cats. In this case, cats will certainly mate with stray cats outside during estrus, and kittens born will become stray cats if they are not adopted. Slowly, the number of stray cats will multiply, putting pressure on the ecological balance.

4. Cats are prone to car accidents.

There is a lot of traffic outside now, especially at night, and drivers drive faster. Cats are easily blinded by the headlights and not hit by cars in time, or even broken, but most cats will be crushed to pieces.

5. Cats get lost easily.

Now the buildings in the community are built in this way, especially the finely decorated houses, even the security doors are the same, and there are more and more high-rise buildings. Once cats are released, it is easy to get lost in this steel jungle and find their way home.

6. Cats will also be taken away when they are stocked.

Nowadays, cat dealers are more and more rampant, especially in recent years, the cat meat market is hot. A group of cat dealers catch stray cats and secretly raise cats in the community. Once they catch the cat, they will sell it to vendors selling kebabs on the roadside and sell it to consumers as mutton. Or sell cats to places like Guangdong where they eat cat meat. This kind of thing happens all the time now. Volunteers who rescue stray cats have rescued stray cats several times and sent them to restaurants. Friends can also read my article "Protecting stray cats, starting with refusing street kebabs". In a word, keeping a cat is harmful and useless. It is suggested that families with cats should try their best to be good parents and let cats stay at home safely and healthily.
