Stray cats have freedom and no food, domestic cats have food and clothing without freedom, what kind of cat is happy?
As a super cat slave, I have raised a lot of cats, and now the two neutered cow cats in the family have been more than five years old, and these two brothers have been raised white and fat like two little pigs for five years, but this life is destined to be locked in a small space, without the cat's joy of chasing butterflies, climbing trees and catching birds, and there is no animal mating, it is inevitable to feel that their cat life is incomplete. However, many domestic cats spend their lives in this way, which is also their happy life relative to stray cats. So, what kind of cat is the real happiness?

These two cow cats were previously raised by a large white cat, and before that was a yellow-backed and white-bellied female cat (about this cat, please read my "These behaviors of cats whose intelligence is not inferior to human cats, do you have any cats?"). 》）。 The Great White Cat is a male cat who will run downstairs to play by himself after estrus, and he will wait for someone to open the locked unit door. We often saw him downstairs and told him to come home and he didn't come back with him, and he had to play hungry before running home. In this way, he often came back with a dirty body, but he came and went freely, went home when he was hungry and thirsty, stayed at home for a few days and ran out to play, usually going home on the same day. All the master had to do was get dirty on him and give him a bath. But after about seven years, he ran out and never came back.

Countless times of experience with cats, I have concluded that in fact, living in a building is not very suitable for cats, and smart people will wait for others to open the locked unit door like my big white cat. But now there are so many high-rise elevator rooms, no matter how smart the cats are, they will not take the elevator up and down by themselves and wait for people to open the stairway doors, and they will only stay in the room for a lifetime. And estrus is a kind of torment for them, the owner has to take them for neutering, so that they lose the most basic mating instinct of animals, which has to be said to be a major flaw in cat life.

Therefore, the most suitable for cat ownership is still rural areas. They can play everywhere, get close to nature, climb trees happily, run, catch mice and birds, and happily "fall in love". But I don't know if you have found a problem, rural people treat cats as much as urban people, so although the countryside is most suitable for raising cats, there are not as many people in rural areas as there are in cities.
Secondly, it is the first floor of the city, especially the people who live in the villa are suitable for cats. The reason is very clear, they can easily run out to play, and now the community has grass and trees, do not worry about where they do not have to play. Even if the villas do not go out, the space in the home is large enough, and they have plenty of range of activities.
Therefore, the happiest cat is to become a cat with a small farm yard or a villa or a first floor (preferably a small yard or a small balcony), so that they can go around freely without worrying about food and clothing, and the owner does not have to worry about the mournful cry of their home when they are in heat. Shovelers with extensive experience in cat ownership agree with the above, right?
Then again, most people still live in buildings, there is no small yard for cats to play in and out of the house safely and freely, and what about raising cats? They are lucky to be adopted by you, but they have also lost the joy of running and climbing trees in the wild, lost the basic function of mating, and spent their lives in a small room.
Are the stray cats I've fed sitting a bit like a leopard?
