Nowadays, many green places have stray cats and stray dogs living in them. Some owners even prefer to let their cats roam free, thinking that they can live more freely in this way. But do you know what harm this does to the cats?

1. Free-range cats will bring back parasites and germs

Cats that live outdoors can easily bring back fleas, lice and other external parasites from grass and sand. These parasites carry tapeworms, roundworms and other parasites in their bodies and can be transmitted to humans through cats. Free-range cats will inevitably catch mice, birds and other small animals, and will also bring back germs.

2. Free-range cats are prone to infectious diseases

Cats roaming freely will come into contact with nearby stray cats, and they can easily be infected with feline distemper, feline AIDS, peritonitis and other malignant infectious diseases during the period of high incidence of infectious diseases. Not only does it cost money and manpower to treat the disease, but it may also cost the cat's life. In addition, if free-range cats eat unclean things outside, they can also cause gastrointestinal diseases such as vomiting and diarrhea.

3. Cat freeing will lead to an increase in the number of stray cats

Families that raise cats generally do not have the awareness to raise cats scientifically and will not neuter the cats. In this case, the cats will definitely mate with stray cats outside during their heat period, and the resulting kittens will become stray cats if they are not adopted. Slowly, the number of stray cats will increase exponentially, putting pressure on the ecological balance.

4. Cats roaming freely are prone to car accidents

There are a lot of cars outside now, especially at night, and drivers drive faster. It is easy for cats to be blinded by the headlights and not be able to dodge in time and get hit by cars. In some cases, they may suffer fractures, but most cats will be crushed and their flesh and blood will fly everywhere.

5. Cats tend to get lost if left alone

Nowadays, the buildings in the community are all built in the same way, especially the finely decorated houses. Even the security doors look the same. With more and more high-rise buildings, once the cats are loose, it is easy to get lost in this steel jungle and cannot be found. On the way home.

6. Cats will be taken away if they are left free

Nowadays, cat dealers are becoming more and more rampant. There is a group of cat dealers who catch stray cats and illegally let loose cats in the community. Once they catch the cats, they will sell the cats to roadside vendors selling mutton skewers and use the cat meat as mutton. Sell ​​to consumers; or sell cats to Guangdong and other places where cat meat is eaten.
