What are the dangers of free-range cats
Now, many places with better greening will have stray cats and stray dogs to survive, and some owners even hope that their cats will be freely raised outside, thinking that cats will live more freely. But do you know what harm this will cause to cats?
1. Cats who are free to stock will bring back parasites and bacteria
Cats who are active outdoors can easily bring fleas, lice and other ectoparasitics from grass and sand. These parasites carry tapeworms, roundworms and other parasites in their bodies, which can be transmitted to people through cats. Free-range cats will inevitably catch mice, birds and other small animals, and will also bring back bacteria.
2. Cats are free to grow and are easily contagious. Cats are free to grow and will come into contact with nearby stray cats. They are easily infected with cat plague, cat AIDS, peritonitis and other malignant infectious diseases during the high incidence of infectious diseases. Not only does it cost money and manpower to treat the disease, but it is also likely to take the life of the cat. In addition, if a free-range cat eats unclean things outside, it can also cause gastrointestinal diseases such as vomiting and diarrhea.
3. Free-range cats will increase the number of stray cats
Families that free-range cats generally do not have the awareness of scientifically raising cats and will not sterilize cats. In this way, the cats will definitely mate with stray cats outside during estrus. If the kittens are not adopted, they will become stray cats, which will gradually cause the number of stray cats to increase exponentially, bringing pressure to ecological balance.
4. Cats are free from stocking and are prone to car accidents
There are many vehicles outside now, especially at night, drivers drive faster. Cats are easily knocked by glasses by glowing their headlights and dodging and not being hit by the car in time. In the mild case, they will be broken, but most cats will be crushed and flesh and blood will fly.
5. Cats are easily lost when they are stocked
Now the buildings in the community are built similarly, especially those with finely decorated houses, and even the security doors are the same. In addition, there are more and more high-rise buildings, once cats are stocked, they are easily lost in this steel jungle and cannot find their way home.
6. Cats will also be caught by people when they are free from stockings
Nowadays, cat dealers are becoming more and more rampant. A group of cat dealers are specifically catching stray cats and secretly stocked cats in the community. Once they catch the cat, they will sell the cats to vendors selling lamb skewers on the roadside, and use cat meat to skewers to sell them to consumers; or sell cats to places such as Guangdong where cat meat is eaten.
