Even if you have managed to decide on the type of pet, that is not all: you should choose the gender of your pet.
Male and female cats have different behavior, strengths and weaknesses.
What are the disadvantages of owning cats
If you are breeding purebred animals, you should understand that childbirth is a huge blow to the body. Provided that the cat constantly gives birth, there may be serious complications. Therefore, you need to monitor the condition of your pet more carefully.
If your cat is just a family member, "freed" from breeding, then there are some nuances here too. The sterilization operation is complicated and quite dangerous, so it should only be carried out in an institution with a good reputation and excellent statistics on this procedure.
If you do not sterilize, you will have to face all the "delights" of sexual behavior. Experts also remind about the increased risk of cancer.
But that's where the potential disadvantages end. Cats learn to use a litter box faster than tomcats, eat less food, and show a higher level of tolerance for small children.
By the way, an interesting fact is that cats are more effective in hunting, which is very important for people living in private houses.
