Any cat with the folding ear gene will have congenital bone disease. Once the disease occurs, it will be painful and uncomfortable. There is no cure. It can only rely on medicine to relieve the pain.
The Folding cat is a medicine jar and a regular customer of the hospital. If you raise a Folding cat, you may either be in the hospital or on the way to the hospital. Every time you go to the hospital, your wallet will lose weight. You really can't afford to raise it in poverty.

In the heart of the Ragdoll Cat, its owner is its whole world. But ragdoll cats are not that easy to keep, and it is not recommended for poor people to buy them.
People who have raised ruffian cats know that their stomachs are very weak and often experience diarrhea after disagreement. It is no exaggeration to say that ruffian cats are in a soft stool for 10 months a year. Every time after it finishes its poop, its owner will chase it and wipe its butt, which is really a little tired.

5. Teacup cat
Price: 5,000-10,000 yuan
Lifespan: about 1 year
Teacup cats are miniature cats, and their size is usually only 1/3 to 1/2 of the size of ordinary cats. Teacup cats have genetic defects and have a short lifespan. If they cannot be raised well, they can only live for about one year.
And because they are too small and their heart and lungs are small, they need to work overload to maintain blood circulation and normal life activities, so they are also particularly prone to illness. In addition, their bones are slender and are particularly prone to fracture. Although the teacup cat is small and cute, the breeding process is really cruel, so it is not recommended to buy it, as there will be no harm without buying and selling.
Maintenance Note: Teacup cats have a weak constitution and are more sensitive to temperature. They should also keep warm. In addition, they should also be careful not to let them climb high and low to avoid fractures.
These cats have relatively weak constitutions. If they are raised, in addition to taking good care of them, they should also pay special attention to their diet. After all, this is the main source of nutrition for cats. If cats eat well and consume enough nutrition, their physical condition will gradually improve.
It is recommended that pet owners choose a nutritionally balanced cat food for their cats as their staple food. For example, this cat food has been created after three years of actual feeding observation. It has determined that the ratio of white meat to red meat in cat food is 9:1. White meat is high in protein and low in fat, which is more conducive to the digestion and absorption of cats in the gastrointestinal region. It is richer in protein and can increase cat muscles and cheer for the immune system.
Long-term use of white meat can reduce the chance of pancreatitis and cardiovascular disease in cats, and is better for cats' health! If you use some goat milk powder as complementary food, it will be more nutritious.
