When choosing a pet, it is important to consider not only the breed or lack thereof, but also the gender.

Cats and female cats differ greatly not only in character, but also in the specifics of their care.

What are the disadvantages of a cat?

First of all, it is worth noting that the lack of castration can lead to a serious deterioration in the smell in the house. Cats often leave specific marks, making it clear that this territory belongs to them. For this reason, housewives have to spend a significant amount of time on high-quality cleaning.

Cats may not be as affectionate as we would like them to be. Sometimes they can even be somewhat aggressive and unpredictable.

It would seem that the castration procedure should solve all problems. However, many people are accustomed to using purebred animals for mating, making it their additional source of income.

Also, cats are more prone to kidney and genitourinary diseases, which is extremely important to take into account.

However, experts note that male cats are larger in size. And purebred animals grow up more textured and interesting. It is also worth considering that, if necessary, castration is cheaper than sterilization.

Therefore, try to choose an animal taking into account all its pros and cons.
