Cats are pet choices for many families. They are petite and cute and can add a lot of fun to our lives.
But not all cats are suitable for domestic maintenance, and some breeds may bring some unexpected "surprises".
Today, I want to talk about those cat breeds that may catch you off guard, help you bypass the "pits" of raising cats and make your cat raising journey smoother.
The health risks behind cuteness
"Look at those small and cute fold ears, how charming!" Many people have a special liking for the unique ears of fold ear cats.
However, the cuteness behind this may hide serious health problems.
Folding cats fold their ears forward due to gene mutations, but this mutation can also cause bone and joint problems in cats.
These cute kittens may suffer from pain, and the cost of treatment can also put a lot of stress on your wallet.
Special needs like alien visitors
Sphinx cat, a unique breed with no hair on its body, gives people a strange feeling like an alien creature.
Although their appearance is eye-catching, these cats are relatively less adaptable to the environment.
Due to the lack of hair protection, Sphinx cats are very sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, which can easily cause skin problems.
In addition, they require regular bathing and care to keep the skin healthy.
Clini friends also have troubles
Siamese cats are loved by many people for their elegant figure and relatives' personality. They like to interact with people very much, and can even be said to be overly dependent on their master's company.
However, this clingy personality may also bring some problems.
If you are unable to accompany them for a long time, Siamese cats may feel lonely and anxious, and in turn exhibit destructive behavior or excessive shouting.
So, before choosing a Siamese cat, make sure you have enough time and energy to meet their social needs. The tedious care behind beauty
Persian cats are famous for their long, fluffy fur and round faces. They are indeed very charming, but this beauty comes at a corresponding price.
Persian cats need to be combed and trimmed regularly, otherwise it will be prone to knots and fall off.
In addition, Persian cats' eyes and nose are also prone to dirt accumulation and need to be cleaned regularly to avoid infection.
If you are unwilling to spend a lot of time and energy on cat care, choosing a Persian cat may make you feel overwhelmed.
Big Cat Challenge
Maine Cat is a huge breed with thick coat and a strong body.
Although they look very majestic, they are not easy to maintain. Maine cats eat relatively large amounts of food and need more food to maintain good health.
At the same time, due to their huge size, they also require greater living space and more exercise.
If you don't have enough space and resources to meet the needs of Maine cats, choosing this big cat may put you in a considerable burden.
Conclusion:
Holding a cat is indeed a pleasant thing, but choosing the right cat breed is equally important.
Different cats have different personalities and needs. Only by truly understanding their characteristics and habits can we take better care of them.
Be sure to be fully prepared and understand before deciding to raise a cat. Remember, raising a cat is not just a responsibility but a promise of love.
