With the continuous improvement of living standards, more and more people choose pets as their companions in life. Among them, cats are deeply loved for their elegance, independence, gentleness and cuteness. When choosing to keep pets, people often face a choice: should they choose a breed of cat with pure blood and outstanding appearance, or should they choose a local cat with strong adaptability and different personalities? This article will discuss in detail the different experiences of breeding cats and local cats, revealing the difference between the two from multiple perspectives.
1. Basic characteristics of breed cats and local cats. Breed cats are cats that have been artificially bred and reproduced for a long time and have specific appearance and personality traits. They usually have unique fur color, body shape and facial features, such as the round face and long hair of Persian cats, the short hair and slender figure of Siamese cats. The personality of breed cats is also relatively stable. Most breed cats have gentle personalities and relatives, making them suitable as family pets.
The local cat, also known as the Chinese pastoral cat, is a native naturally breeding cat. They do not have fixed appearance characteristics, vary in color and body shape, but they usually have strong adaptability and survival ability. The personality of the earth cat also varies from individual to individual. Some are lively and active, while others are quiet and restrained. But overall, the earth cats are usually more independent and more adaptable to the environment.
2. Daily experience of breeding cats and local cats
Diet and care
Breed cats usually require more refined diet and care due to their special physiological structure and genetic background. For example, some breeds of cats are prone to hair problems and need to be combed regularly, while some breeds of cats are prone to specific genetic diseases and require regular examinations and special care. In addition, breed cats usually have high food requirements and need to choose suitable cat food to ensure that their nutritional needs are met.
The earth cats are relatively "solid" and are more adaptable to food and the environment. They usually do not require overly fine care, but they also require the owner to provide enough food and clean water, as well as regular sanitation cleaning.
Personality and interaction
breed cats have relatively stable personalities. Most breed cats are gentle with relatives and like to interact with their owners. They are usually well adapted to the family environment and build deep feelings with family members. Breed cats are also easier to train and can learn some simple instructions and movements.
The local cats have more diverse personalities. Some local cats are lively and active, like to play, while others are quieter and like to be alone. The way they interact with their owners also varies by personality, but overall, native cats are usually more independent and do not rely too much on their owners’ company.
Health and Disease
Bird cats are more likely to suffer from specific genetic diseases due to their special genetic background. These diseases may involve multiple aspects such as the respiratory system, digestive system, urinary system, etc., and the owner needs to understand in advance and take corresponding preventive measures. At the same time, breed cats have relatively weak adaptability to the environment and are more susceptible to stress, and their owners need to provide a more stable and comfortable living environment.
The earth cat has strong adaptability and survivability, and is more adaptable to the environment. They are usually not prone to severe genetic diseases, but they also require owners to pay attention to their health, conduct regular physical examinations and deworming preventive measures.
3. Choose a breed cat or a local cat?
When choosing a breed cat or a local cat, we need to consider multiple factors in a comprehensive way. First of all, personal preferences and needs are very important factors. If you prefer cats with specific appearance or personality traits, then a breed of cat may be more suitable for you. If you pay more attention to cats’ adaptability and independence, then a local cat may be more suitable.
Secondly, we also need to consider the cost and energy investment of raising pets. Breed cats usually require higher purchase costs, care costs and medical costs, and also require owners to invest more time and energy in caring and training. The local cat is relatively more economical and has relatively low requirements for the owner's time and energy.
Finally, we also need to consider the origin and welfare of the cat. Whether choosing a breed cat or a local cat, we should choose a regular pet store or adoption agency to avoid buying or adopting cats of unknown origin. At the same time, we should also pay attention to cat welfare issues and provide them with a healthy and comfortable living environment.
4. Summary: The experiences of breeding cats and local cats have their own advantages, and there is no absolute difference between good and bad. Breed cats have won the love of many people with their unique appearance and stable personality, while local cats have attracted more and more people with their strong adaptability and diverse personality charm. When choosing to keep pets, we should make choices based on our actual situation and needs, and pay attention to the welfare of cats to provide them with a healthy and happy living environment.
