Mumbai cats
Nowadays, young people like us are becoming more and more keen on raising pets, especially cats, because they are relatively For clingy dogs, cats are more troublesome to raise, and purebred cats with noble bloodlines, gentle temperaments, and sweet looks are even more popular among us. So how do you adopt a thriving purebred cat? The editor below will answer for you.
First of all, before the text begins, we must first understand a concept, that is, what is a purebred cat? The original so-called purebred cat, the correct name should be Pedigree cat, is a selective breed that people use to distinguish different types of cats based on the genetic characteristics of different cats and people's preferences. Cat breeds that are bred to have individual personalities. Therefore, many of the "purebred cats" we see rarely are not "purebred" but "hybrid", such as Scottish fold cats, foreign short-haired cats, Canadian hairless cats, etc. Therefore, purebred cats should be called purebred cats. Zuo is a "kind of cat". When you are ready to raise a purebred cat and have the ability and confidence to control it for life, how should you choose a purebred cat?
1. Good selection of cat breeds
Before buying a cat, you must first choose a cat breed based on your own personal conditions. Regarding this point, I gave you a detailed introduction in the article "Purebred Cats Suitable for Young White-Collars", please refer to it.
2. Good source of cats
When buying a cat, you must buy it from a regular cattery or a reputable family breeder. If you buy a cat from an unscrupulous cat market, the cat you take home is likely to be a sick cat or an impure cat. I have a cat friend in Tangshan who is planning to buy a purebred cat. He inquired about a cattery in Tangshan. The owner of the cattery teased the cat friend and wanted to sell her a "Smiling British Shorthair Cat (confirmed introduction)" ( Suspected to be Siamese crossbreeds), cat friends also went to the cattery to look at the cats and found that nearly 20 cats of different species lived together in a small house of less than 10 square meters. Shen was malnourished, and the "Shen-colored British Shorthair" the cat friend wanted to buy died of an infectious disease before he even looked at the moon, so the cat friend would not be fooled. This kind of unscrupulous cat market defrauds people by using unfamiliar purebred cats, and sells cross-bred cats or even sick cats to people at high prices. If you want to buy a cat from a formal cattery, the price of the cat will be relatively high. This is because the breeding cats in formal catteries are often imported from overseas, and in order to prove the cat’s pedigree, the cattery owner will let the cat participate in the breeding process.With various competitions and cat shows, and in order to keep the cats in good shape and strong body, the food and accommodation of cats are often of the highest quality. In this way, the cost of raising cats will naturally be very high. The kittens sold by catteries The price will also be high. However, catteries generally provide pedigree certificates, and kittens will thrive due to good nutrition. If you can't charge a high price, try using a reputable home breeder. Honorable home breeders breed cats not just to make money. They are first of all lovers of purebred cats and like a certain breed, so they devote themselves to the promotion of this breed. Therefore, the characteristics of outstanding home breeders The price of cats is not expensive. It is enough to earn the money for the cat’s milk powder. The cat owners are even more controlling than the cattery, because every kitten sold is a cat for which they have paid their hard work. Cat buyers will have more stringent selection conditions. Instead of selling it to you for a lot of money, the cat owner will consider the character and family of the cat buyer. If it is a trustworthy buyer, the cat owner may even agree to a low price. Sell the cat at a high price so that the cat can live a happy and worry-free life. If you can meet such a cat owner, then congratulations, you will not only win a happy cat, but also win the friendship and help of a cat owner with rich cat raising experience.
3. Choose the best cat size
Purebred cats are not as thick-skinned as domestic cats. Purebred cats are more delicate and more prone to genetic defects, especially Cat breeds that are caused by genetic mutations, such as Scottish Fold cats, are prone to genetic diseases during their growth and die. Therefore, when buying a purebred cat, be sure not to be greedy for the cuteness of a milk cat and buy a baby that has just looked at the moon. Cats should be purchased when they are more than three months old (whether cats that are too young are sold is also a criterion for judging the quality of catteries and home breeders. Selling cats under three months old is a sign of dissatisfaction between the cat and the buyer. Responsible display). In addition to genetic diseases, the appearance of purebred cats is also uncertain and can only be seen when they are older. Some cats are very beautiful when they are young, but they become crooked when they grow up, or they may be young. They are very ugly but become very beautiful as they grow up. For example, folded-eared cats can only see the true nature of their ears after a certain month. < p > , the hair is smooth and does not fall out in large areas. In addition, the cat has good bone development, a stable body and well-proportioned hands and feet, is caring, lively and active, and can respond quickly when toys are used to amuse the cat. Cats that meet the above conditions The cat is a prosperous cat, so you can buy it with confidence.
5. Visit the cattery to gain more
If conditions permit, it is best to go to the cattery or the place where family breeders raise cats to watch them in person. Understand the cat's situation from many aspects. When you arrive at the cattery, you need to take a look first.The appearance of the cat is inherited from the father, and the temperament is inherited from the mother. Therefore, knowing the circumstances of the cat’s parents will give you a more detailed understanding of the cat’s talents. In addition, you should also observe the appearance of the cat's brothers and sisters, so that you can have a more intuitive understanding of the cat's appearance. We should also pay attention to the development of the cats in the litter. If the cats in the litter are all prosperous, it means that the female cat has received good care during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The cats born in this way have good immunity and a lower chance of developing genetic diseases. After going to the cattery, you should also check the hygienic conditions of the cattery and the density of cats, so that you can judge whether the cats will get infectious diseases. If the hygienic conditions are poor and there are many cats living together, the cats will be prone to feline distemper and cat viruses. Infectious diseases such as rhinotracheitis. It is best to quietly observe the cat's eating situation. The cattery owner provides the cat with good cat food. The cat's nutritional ability is good and its body can thrive. If the cattery owner feeds the cat low-end cat food, it is best not to buy such a cat, which proves that the cattery owner puts profit first and does not care about the well-being of the cat. < p > The quality of the cat breed, international standards of appearance, the experience and breeding history of the cat breed, the approximate prices of cats of different appearances, whether the cat breed can be introduced overseas, and whether there are mature breeding institutions in your city; It is also necessary to have a more systematic understanding and study of the basic knowledge of the scientific care of cats.
It should be noted that many cat species are not introduced into China, such as Egyptian cats and Turkish Van cats (especially Turkish Van cats, which look very similar to Chinese domestic cats, and some unscrupulous cats Domestic cats are passed off as Van cats and sold to consumers at high prices. Cat breeds like Turkish Van cats are extremely rare and are not allowed to be brought overseas. Therefore, if there are Van cats sold overseas, they must be scammers and consumers must take advantage of them. bright eyes). If you have considered buying a certain kind of cat, you can go to a single-breed cattery for that kind of cat to buy. Catteries with single-breed growth are more professional and more protective. If your city has more than one type of cattery, when you go to a multi-type cattery to buy cats, you must not listen to the seller's deception and change your original intention. The seller does this to avoid the cat breeds you know and the cats you don't know. Plant to earn your money. Also, when buying a cat, don’t show a clear fondness for a certain cat or a certain coat color of that type of cat, in case a clever seller can guess your mood and easily raise the price to make you happy. Spend more than the actual price. Or you can deliberately express your favorable impression of cats with other coat colors, mislead the merchants, and finally get the cat you like at a relatively reasonable price.
That’s all the knowledge about buying purebred cats and the things you need to pay attention to. I hope you can buy a purebred cat that you like. Again, raising a cat may be just a part of your life for you, but for a cat, you are the whole of their life, so,Once you have it, you must control it for life and treat your cat well, and it will repay you with its lifelong love.
