If you are thinking about getting a four-legged friend in the form of a cat, you are probably faced with the question of whether to take an animal with an excellent pedigree or pick up a kitten from the street?
It will be easier to solve this problem once you learn about the main differences that exist between purebred and non-pedigree cats.
First of all, it is worth noting that pedigree cats are bred artificially, which means that sometimes even relatives can "crossbreed". This cannot but affect the health of the whiskered-striped ones.
In addition, some breeds are prone to specific diseases: for example, due to the unusual structure of the nose, Persians are prone to eye diseases that cause watery and purulent eyes.
Ordinary cats, on the contrary, can boast of good health and excellent immunity, which means that it is much easier for them to cope with diseases.
Due to this, mongrel pets live longer than their purebred counterparts.
Finally, let's dispel a common myth associated with the character of animals - supposedly cats that cannot boast of belonging to any breed are aggressive, while purebred Murkas are gentle and docile.
The behavior of a pet depends solely on how it is treated. Of course, cats that are offended and beaten will be forced to defend themselves with all available methods, while animals that are cared for have a wonderful character.
