So, what's the difference between a regular cat house, a backyard cat house and a cat dealer? Let's make an analysis and interpretation on how to choose the right purchase channel.
What's the difference between a regular cat house and a traditional backyard cat house or cat dealer?
Ordinary cat house
Features:
Cat breeds are all cats registered by the regular breed cat association;
Kittens can be traced back within at least 3 generations, commonly known as hemogram or hemogram, and it is necessary to clarify their parents' branches;
A regular cat house must be a registered cat house, registered with the relevant cat association, and supervised by the internal system of the association. In China, it is generally CFA, WCF and TICA.
Kittens bought from cat houses have certificates issued by CFA Institute.
Most of the cats sold in the cat house are booked in advance. Buyers need to choose the breed and the parents of the kitten and wait for the kitten to be born.
Kittens will not be taken away immediately after birth. They need to grow up with them and make sure they are free from diseases before they can be taken home by buyers. During this period, the cat house will shape the character of the kitten, so most of the characters bought in the cat house are gentle and clingy, and the after-sales service is more secure.
The cats sold in the cat house are basically sterilized. If you want to buy a cat house, don't sell it. Even if it is sold, it is still an old cat.
The control of genetic diseases is also strict, and there are genetic test reports of cats in the cat house. Generally speaking, as long as both parents are n/n negative, that is, they do not carry the pathogenic genes, they will not be passed on to future generations.
The cat house will take part in various cat competitions. Before buying a cat, you can check what outstanding achievements the cat house has made. It is also the key factor to judge the authenticity of the selected cat house.
Backyard cat house
Features:
There are relatively many kinds of cats and more choices.
Kittens can also trace their parents' pedigree, but without a certificate, they can't completely guarantee the purity of their pedigree.
The kittens sold are basically kittens that have not been sterilized for two or three months, and the cultivation of kittens' character can not meet the standards of cat houses.
Without the condition of genetic disease detection, the immunity of cats can not be guaranteed, which may lead to the risk of recessive genetic diseases.
Personality can't be cultivated directionally, and most backyard cats will be sold when kittens are about 2 months old to maximize profits.
Cat dealer
Features:
Most weeks, cats are basically bought from cat dealers, and they can't live for a week.
The living environment is too bad. Most of the cats in the shops in the pet market are basically cats bought by cat dealers from other homes, bought at ultra-low prices and then sold below the market price, which led to some shovel officials with insufficient funds being deceived.
Buy a cheap cat from a cat dealer, and finally either buy a cat for a week or go to the hospital for physical examination to find out some diseases, and the treatment will cost a lot of money. Therefore, everyone who wants to be promoted to a shovel officer must keep his eyes open. Even if he buys a cat with a price of 1000 yuan, he should choose a healthy cat, otherwise the treatment cost will be more than 1000 yuan.
The cats in the hands of cat dealers don't do genetic disease tests, and even the most basic cat health can't be done.
The variety is highly impure, so it is impossible to trace the parent-child relationship and there is no certificate.
Common sense after raising a kitten.
After receiving the kitten, go to the pet hospital for a comprehensive physical examination as soon as possible to ensure that the kitten is free from disease. If it has a disease, return it immediately.
Prepare cat litter, cat litter basin, cat food, cat food bowl and other necessary supplies for cats in advance.
Don't be too affectionate. When a kitten arrives in a new environment, it will be particularly alert and even stressed, so let it adapt for 2-3 days first, and then it will naturally get close to you.
Finally, I hope all friends who want to be shovel officers can adopt a lovely and healthy kitten through a regular cat house or a friend's cat house with good reputation and high familiarity, and treat it well after adoption.
It is better to let more friends adopt alternative management and give homeless stray cats a warm home.
