There are really many kinds of cats now. Today I want to talk to you about short-legged cats, but we found that there are very few people who raise short-legged cats. Many people say that short-legged cats cannot be raised. So what are the four reasons why not raise short-legged cats?

The main reason why you don't raise short-foot cats is because they are prone to gain weight, have severe hair loss, are easily dirty on the abdomen, and have poor bounce ability. Therefore, when raising short-foot cats, you need to pay special attention to the diet of short-foot cats. If short-foot cats are too obese, it will increase the chance of bone and joint diseases. In addition, short-footed cats need to be bathed regularly and indoor hygiene is needed. If the relevant requirements are not made, it will affect the health of short-legged cats.

1. It is easy to gain weight

Short-legged cats love to eat very much. If they are not careful in their diet, they will easily gain weight. Moreover, short-legged cats have short legs and long bodies, and are born to like to bounce everywhere. Once they are overly obese, it will put a greater burden on their joints, affect their health, and have a shorter lifespan.

2. Severe hair loss

Short-legged cats are also very serious. When the hair changes season comes, they will lose hair everywhere, causing hair to be everywhere in the house. This can easily lead to nose sensitivity of the owner and often gets cat hair on his body.

3. The abdomen hair is easy to be dirty. The chassis of short-legged cats is low, and it feels like they are walking on the ground, which makes the hair on their abdomen easily dirty. Especially long-legged cats, they think they are walking mops, sweeping away all the garbage and dust. Therefore, the owner needs to clean the hair on his abdomen every day, which is also the reason why many people do not raise short-legged cats.

4. Poor bounce ability

The short-legged cat is born with four legs shorter than other cats, which is also its biggest disadvantage. Although it is still very sensitive to move, it has poor bounce ability. If you want to jump to a high place, it will be more difficult.
