Inbreeding is a serious topic and one must understand genetics. Inbreeding maximizes the advantages, but it also maximizes the disadvantages. If you don’t even understand at least what a good cat is, it is recommended not to misbreed.

The premise of inbreeding is that you have top-quality cats, retain the bloodline, and you understand the strengths and weaknesses of your cat. If it is just to save costs and have more kittens, it is recommended not to inbreed. It is recommended to breed for five generations, but do not breed more than three times. Generally, cats with more than three generations will have a higher chance of sudden death, and there will be genetic problems associated with mental retardation and infertility.

The current pet market is a mixed bag; there are professional pet breeding institutions and private catteries that screen and breed cats privately; some businessmen even let cats inbreed for profit.

Purebred cats are sad. How sad are they? They cannot choose their own cat life. The cattery owner or the cat owner determines the cat’s life.

If cats are allowed to have children, they must be bred with cats of the same purebred species in order to produce purebred cat offspring.

For this reason, many people do not hesitate to inbreed cats just to create more pure breed cats.

But in fact, is this really the case?

Among people who keep pet cats, some cat owners really love cats and are willing to give them the best they can. conditions; but there are also some cat owners who raise cats purely for eyeballs, face, and attention from others.

Therefore, those ugly pet cats are despised and live at the bottom of the pet contempt chain.

Those cats that are not purebreds, even Chinese garden cats, are despised by some people. The chain of contempt for pet ownership will always exist.

For example, aren’t those competitions for competitive pet cats the top of the chain of contempt? It seems that a competitive cat is the highest honor for pet cats.

What harm will inbreeding do to cats?

Inbreeding in cats is prone to some genetic diseases, and may even lead to physical defects in cats, or intellectual defects in cats. .

Look at the stray cats outside. Many of them are caused by inbreeding, resulting in physical deformities and congenital disabilities. There are also some stray cats that look completely different from the cats in everyone’s impression. You can use "Extremely ugly" to describe it.

In the final analysis, it is all caused by inbreeding of cats.

If the cat’s parents have physical defects, and the cats’ siblings also have defects, then the defects will be magnified even more in inbreeding cats.

Physical deformity is very painful, and the cat’s mental retardation is another kind of torture to the cat.

Some time ago, I took some of my cats to the pet hospital for a bath, and then I saw 2 kittens. They were deformed, physically disabled, andLow IQ.

When chatting with the pet doctor, I learned that these two cats were the only two remaining cats among the five cats born to their mother. Because they were inbred, the cats were newly born. Only 3 of them are gone.

The remaining two barely grew to a few months, but their physical defects became more and more obvious, and their IQs were also very low, and they needed to be fed by the poop shoveler before they could eat them.

Isn’t this a kind of torture for cats?

For a person who really loves cats, what they love is never the breed of cat, but the cat. itself.

If you love cats, you will tolerate everything about cats; they don’t care about the breed of the cat, let alone face.

I hope every cat owner can put an end to the phenomenon of inbreeding among cats. Raising cats healthily and scientifically is what cat owners should learn.
