If you are currently wondering whether you should get a pet, this article is definitely for you.
In it, we will talk about 5 rather non-obvious reasons why it is simply contraindicated for a person to have a pet.
We will not talk about toys for a kitten - you can make them yourself, or about expensive beds - sometimes they are not needed at all. But spending money on high-quality food for the animal is your sacred necessity, just like on medicine in case of a sudden illness of your pet.
You shouldn't get a cat if you're expecting a baby - the child may develop an allergy, the animal is prone to jealousy, etc. If you don't have any fears about this, think about whether you can devote as much time to your pet as you did before the baby was born.
Forced business trips or a passion for travel are all contraindications to becoming a pet owner.
Firstly, cats don't like being in the company of family members who are hostile to animals in the house. Secondly, the pet may go past the litter box a couple of times or knock over a vase that is loved by the household, which will certainly lead to quarrels and scandals.
Before bringing a kitten home, install screens on windows, hide wires, and eliminate other possible hazards. If you are not ready for change, just don't get a cat.
We previously explained why cats hunt insects.
