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.
The benefits of "yard creatures"
Firstly, it is worth noting that mongrel cats are considered smarter than their "noble" counterparts. The proof is the Kuklachev Theatre and similar ones, where most of the "artists" do not belong to any breed.
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.
In addition, one of the advantages of mongrel animals is their problem-free socialization - as a rule, such animals are very sociable and easily make contact.
What are the disadvantages of non-pedigree cats?
The disadvantages of such animals are one, two, and that's it: their appearance, or rather, the lack of confidence in how the pet will look in the future, and the lack of prestige, which means that the owner of the animal is unlikely to be able to boast of its breed or pedigree.
