People who would like to become pet owners have two options - to contact a professional breeder for a pedigree kitten or to take a stray cat, of which there are so many on the streets and in shelters.

Today we'll talk about what it's like to be the owner of a mongrel cat.

Secondly, an important advantage of yard pets is their independence. Unlike purebred animals, yard cats and dogs can easily endure loneliness. Their stable psyche copes with difficulties and lack of communication, while purebred animals often suffer from loneliness and stress.

Thirdly, a noticeable advantage in keeping them is the unpretentiousness of the "noblemen" in matters of nutrition. The eating habits formed in street conditions make it easier for owners to prepare a diet for their pet.
