Actually, I think it’s okay to buy cats in a reliable farm. It’s a good idea and the right price is the key.
The cathouse will cost higher than that of the farm due to family breeding, storefront rent, etc., and taking photos, advertising, and guarantee letters for cats are all for money? This money doesn’t come from consumers, where can it come from? After all, breeding cats is just about spending money. Therefore, the price will increase accordingly and will be more expensive than industrial farms. And as far as I know, even if it is a so-called cathouse, some pet stores will go to breed and purchase goods.
Let’s talk about breeding farms. There are actually quite a few breeding farms that are serious about breeding. People can do purebreds, vaccines, cat plague testing, deworming, including cat litter training, personality training, etc., after all, they don’t make a living by relying on this. Compared with those who buy cats, farms are more afraid of cats getting sick because it is their property and no one is willing to do a loss-making business. If the cat is unhealthy and it is difficult for others to cause trouble.
Let’s talk about whether cathouses must be more noble than breeding farms? I don't think so. Admittedly, cathouses may give cats more expensive cat food, use more expensive cat litter, take beautiful photos, and emphasize that they are purebred. But as an ordinary consumer, if you don’t have a budget of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan to buy a cat or pay special attention to your bloodline, an ordinary purebred cat or an ordinary healthy cat can do it. What's more, the mutants themselves are also hybrid breeds. As for health issues, as I said above, life is still very tenacious. Not all sick cats can be raised. Those who buy in cathouses may not be sick, and those who are in breeding farms may not be difficult to raise.
The difference between cathouse cats and farm cats is like the difference between dumplings made by your own home and quick-frozen dumplings in supermarkets. The dumplings from my home are now wrapped and taste good and have a private taste, but the price is high, so it is troublesome to wrap. The dumplings in supermarkets are mass-produced with industrial assembly lines and operate according to standards. They taste good and taste average. They can eat enough, but the price is cheap. Compared with the nutritional content and hygiene level of the two, the dumplings you make at home may not be super frozen.
Putting aside this point, buying such a cat is too risky. Think about it, it only costs hundreds or thousands to sell in total, and the profit per unit is not very high. It basically wins by volume. Will people take good care of it? So there are usually problems with this kind of cat when you take it home. The cat's nose is normal. If you are not lucky, you will encounter cat plague. You will be happy to pick up a little cute girl and go home. As a result, you will spend a lot of energy and money to treat the disease
