Four types of cats with shorter lifespans are recognized as having to cherish them if they are raised.
Cats of various breeds have different lifespans. Here are 4 cats that are generally considered to have the shortest lifespan. If you raise them, please cherish them!
1. Scottish Folding Cats usually have a short lifespan, usually between 8 and 12 years. If they are abandoned outdoors, they rarely live for two months. So once you decide to raise them, you must cherish them. Once the cartilage genetic disease of the folded cat will suffer tremendous pain, and some may even die. In addition to cartilage genetic diseases, they may also suffer from heart disease, respiratory diseases, etc., which are weak in physique and are extremely challenging to care. The financial burden of raising fold cats is also heavy, because they require lifelong medicine and treatment to sustain life, which is not something that ordinary families can afford. It is not recommended to raise fold-eared cats easily due to impulse.
2. Sphinx cat
Sphinx cat, which we often call hairless cats, is a cat breed that is artificially bred, with an average lifespan of 9 to 12 years. Since they have lived and grown up in indoor environments since childhood, their physique is relatively weak and their ability to resist cold is not strong. In the cold winter, they need to wear clothes to keep warm, otherwise they are very prone to illness and may even be frozen to death if left in the winter.
Sphinx cats have no hair protection, so their skin is easily damaged, becomes dirty, and is prone to oil accumulation, which may cause them to emit a bad odor. Moreover, sphinx cats have a relatively fragile constitution and are more prone to illness. For example, catching a cold is a common disease for them, and their stomachs are relatively fragile, which makes it relatively difficult for them to raise.
3. Persian cat
Persian cat is loved by many cat owners because of its smooth long hair and elegant appearance. However, Persian cats usually have a shorter lifespan than other cat species, about 12 to 16 years. This may be related to the care needs that their hair brings.
The long hair of Persian cats needs to be taken care of frequently to prevent knots and skin problems. This tedious care may have a certain impact on their lifespan. The owner of a Persian cat needs to invest more time and energy in daily life to ensure that their hair is healthy and neat, thereby prolonging its life. Every care is a careful care for the life of Persian cats, which is worth our deep consideration.
IV. The dwarf cats are very popular for their charming appearance, but their average lifespan is short, about 9 to 12 years. This cat is often prone to heart problems, and rapid bone growth leads to spinal and joint problems, making them early into the elderly and relatively difficult to care for. Because of its short limbs, short-legged cats are more likely to be injured in daily life and need more care and care from their owners.
Every type of cat has its own unique charm and specific needs. Although their lifespan is short, it allows us to more deeply understand the impermanence and preciousness of life. Raising cats is not just to provide their basic survival needs, but it is also a serious commitment to life. During the time we spent together, we learned patience, love and care, and these excellent qualities can also be reflected in our daily lives. We have learned to respect and cherish life, and we have a more colorful life experience because of this process. The shortness of life does not mean its poverty. On the contrary, it is precisely because of its limitation that life appears more precious.
