The cat that is widely distributed in my country has attracted the attention of countless cat lovers because of its unique patterns and low maintenance costs. But before you decide to raise a tabby cat, be sure to understand the 7 major disadvantages it may bring to prevent you from feeling broken during future maintenance.
1. Lively and active, strong destructive power
tabby cat is energetic, lively and active, and likes to climb, jump and chase. They sometimes run around at home, and may even overturn vases, knock over trash cans, etc., making the owner feel broken. Therefore, raising tabby cats requires sufficient time and energy to accompany and guide.
Tabby cats' active personality makes them very suitable for families with children because they can play with their children and grow up together. At the same time, this also means that the owner needs to provide the tabby cat with enough sports space and toys to meet their sports needs.
2. The noise disturbs the cats' meows more loudly, especially during the estrus period, and may frequently make sharp screams, affecting the rest of the surrounding neighbors. This has troubled many families living in apartments or communities. To reduce noise disturbances, owners can consider spaying tabby cats to reduce the frequency of their estrus and the volume of their screams. The owner can also try to soothe the tabby cats and calm them down when they are louder.
3. Severe hair loss
Tabby cats lose severe hair loss during the season, especially in late spring, early summer and late autumn and early winter. Their hair will fall off with the seasons, and the owner needs to regularly comb the hair to prevent cat hair from floating around in the home. Owners can also provide tabby cats with food rich in Omega-3 fatty acids to help reduce hair loss. Regular bathing of tabby cats can also keep their hair healthy and reduce hair loss.
4. Highly regional
tabby cats have strong regional
and have a strong sense of protection for their territory. If strangers or other animals invade, they may show aggressiveness. This makes it difficult for tabby cats to get along with other animals to a certain extent. In order to alleviate the regionality of tabby cats, owners can let them contact different people and animals from an early age and cultivate their social abilities. When raising other animals in the family, you also need to pay attention to gradually introducing them to adapt to each other.
5. If you don’t have a pet cat, you can compare it with a pet cat. The cat has a very independent personality. In addition, it likes to be alone and has a strong survival skills. If you don’t have you, you can live a good life. Why do you have to rely on you? Pet cats are different. Pet cats have clingy personalities and are even more whispering when facing their owners. Everyone should not think too much about who they choose.
6. Strong curiosity
When it comes to naughty people, the reason is more because they are particularly curious. When other cats are strong, they will dismantle furniture to relieve boredom. However, the tabby cat is unique. It likes to run out. Whether it is you sealing windows and doors, it will use its intelligence to find a hole for itself, which leads to the fact that some cats are too smart and not a good thing.
7. The lifespan of cats is relatively shorter than that of other breeds of cats, tabby cats usually have a relatively short lifespan, usually around 10-15 years. This means that the owner may face more frequent separations and has greater psychological pressure. If you want to extend the lifespan of tabby cats, you need to pay attention to their health, take them to the hospital for physical examinations regularly, pay attention to diet and exercise, and prevent the occurrence of diseases. Cherish every moment you spend with the tabby cat, giving them full care and companionship is also an extension of their lifespan.
Although tabby cats have a certain charm, their maintenance process is also full of challenges. Before deciding to raise a tabby cat, be sure to fully understand these shortcomings and be mentally prepared accordingly.
