When choosing a companion cat, the differences in breeds significantly affect the days they live with. Not all cats are suitable for every cat lover.
Authentic, some breeds of cats are quite challenging to maintain due to their special personality and physical condition.
This is why I want to tell you honestly that the following breeds of cats may not be suitable for first-time cat raising or limited resources. Their maintenance can be said to be a challenge to the limit, and sometimes it may even make people feel as if serving their noble ancestors!
First, let's take a look at these so-called "terrible" cat breeds:
【Scottish Folding Cats】
House Difficulty: Six-star
This type of cat has an innate cartilage problem, usually not limited to their iconic folded ears, but this hereditary disease affects the bones throughout the body.
Once the disease occurs, they may suffer from bone pain, which can sometimes be fatal.
To treat these poor little lives requires a lot of money, and their lives often rely on continuous drug treatment and care, which undoubtedly brings a heavy psychological and financial burden to the owner.
【Maine Cat】
Difficulty of raising: Four-star Maine Cats are known for their huge body and long and thick coats. Careing such hair is a difficult task, and their hair loss will make cat hair everywhere in the home.
These large cats require a large living space and require the owner to invest a lot of time and energy in daily care.
Moreover, their appetite is huge, like an insatiable black hole, often causing great pressure on their owner's wallet.
【Canadian Hairless Cat】
Difficulty of raising: Five-star
Their price is like a small vault, which is definitely not something ordinary people can easily bear. The cost of maintenance in the later stage is equally astonishing, and these cats seem to be prone to illness and often visit pet hospitals.
Their skin is not protected by hair and is very easy to get skin diseases. It requires careful care from the owner and often uses various skin care products. It is tantamount to sacrificing to worship noble ancestors.
【Cow Cat】
Housing Difficulty: Two-star rating
Daow Cat is famous for its vitality and independent nature.
They have high IQ, arrogant personality, and sometimes even treat their masters contemptuously.
And their abundant energy sometimes causes them to destroy themselves at home, causing a lot of trouble and losses.
【Persian Cat】
Difficulty of raising: The difficulty of raising a five-star
Persian Cat is so difficult that many people are afraid of it. They carry a variety of genetic diseases, such as polycystic kidney disease, respiratory system diseases and lacrimal diseases.
Their bodies seem to be extremely fragile and are even more difficult for novices to control.
Moreover, Persian cats have a lot of time and effort to take care of their long hair, and their excrement is extremely easy to stick to the hair, which is particularly unpleasant.
Faced with these challenges, we also have some recommended cat breeds, which are more suitable for most people's breeding conditions:
【British Shorthair Cat】
Advantages: Strong adaptability, rich fur color, high appearance, gentle personality, excellent touch
Average life span: 13 to 15 years
The short English personality is pleasant, friendly to humans, and easy to get along with. Their appearance has a wide range of appeal, a well-rounded face and plump body, as well as the features of cute cheeks, ensuring that they become a favorite among cat petting enthusiasts.
【Orange Cat】
Advantages: easy-going personality, not picky about food, excellent touch, affordable price, easy to raise, strong hunting skills
Average life span: 2014 to 2017
Orange Cat is also one of the popular cats. They are gentle and get along happily. The physical fitness is strong and the price is moderate, making it easy for novices to raise. The most important thing is that orange cats are not restricted in their diet and are simple and worry-free to maintain.
