"The hair is very long and difficult to take care of"
The puppet cat is a long-haired cat, although it looks fairy, but its hair is neglected, then it is easy to appear rough, knotted, fairy temperament disappeared instantly. Usually grooming the puppet cat is also a physical work, not only time-consuming, but also energy-consuming, if you are usually busy with work, then it is not suitable for raising a puppet cat.
"Poop is easy to get on the hair"
The puppet cat can only look at its front, and when you look at the back, it is miserable, not fairy at all.

Raising a puppet cat should interact with it more, and you can also reward it with some small snacks.
"Has a glass stomach"
