Many people like to keep cats, but some cat species are often abandoned by their owners for various reasons. The abandonment rate of the six cats listed below remains high.
Tabby cats
Life expectancy: 15-20 years
Reason for abandonment:
1. Tabby cats are extremely loyal to their owners, but they are not easy to get close to others. Some owners have spent five or six years but still cannot feel the intimacy of the tabby cats, so they choose to give up.
2. This kind of cat likes to go out for adventures and seems to be unwilling to stay at home for a long time. Because he is born with freedom and often tries to escape from the house, some hard-hearted owners choose to abandon the cat when they find that it doesn't return.
3. Tabby cats sometimes show aggressiveness. Some cat owners report that their tabby cats love to bite people and are unbearable, so they have to abandon them.
Folding cats
Life expectancy: 10-13 years
Reasons for abandonment:
1. Folding cats are popular for their unique "deformal beauty", but due to genetic defects, this cat is born with cartilage diseases and is expensive to treat, so it is often abandoned.
2. Folding cats are in poor physical condition, frequently get sick, and need continuous care. Many people cannot bear it and choose to give up.
3. Due to bone problems, folded cats cannot perform strenuous exercise and need careful care, which concerns some cat owners.
Siamese cats
Life expectancy: 12-15 years
Reasons for abandonment:
1. Siamese cats are very talkative and may be liked in the early stages, but they will feel noisy over time.
2. This cat is curious, likes to explore, and often messes up housework, which many people can't bear.
3. Siamese cats are particularly clingy and always follow their owners to ask for attention, but they don’t cherish them when playing, which makes the owners very troubled.
Orange cats
Life-life expectation: 22-18 years
Reasons for abandonment:
1. Orange cats have huge appetites and seem to never be full. Although their appetite looks cute, they have a heavy financial burden to raise.
2. This kind of cat is lazy and spends most of the time eating and sleeping, and lacks interest in interaction.
3. Orange cats are friendly to everyone as long as they have food and are not loyal to their owners, so they can easily follow the people who give food.
Blue cats
Life expectancy: 12-15 years
Reasons for abandonment:
1. Blue cats are not valuable. Once they are tired of raising them, they are easily abandoned. People often do not cherish cheap things enough.
2. People who have raised blue cats say that they are petty and easy to hold grudges and dare not get angry easily, as if they are raising an ancestor who is difficult to serve.
3. Blue cats may also suffer from some hereditary diseases such as myocardial hypertrophy and polycystic kidney disease, which are expensive to treat, causing some owners to choose to give up.
Persian cats
Life expectancy: 10-15 years
Reasons for abandonment:
1. Persian cats are emotionally changeable, irritable, and occasionally aggressive, which is difficult to tame.
2. Persian cats have thick and difficult to care for, easy to tie knots, and require frequent and expensive beauty care.
