Before you buy or receive a cat in your home is a few things you should consider.
The lifetime
A cat lives an average of about 14 years, maybe even up to 20 years, and you must be prepared to take care of your cat for so many years. It's easy to make an impulse buy when you see a cute kitten. Look 5-10 years, what does your life look like? Does that still have the cat if you eg have children? Or if you move?
Working long each day?
Are you often at home? Then you should have two cats who then have the company of each other during the time of day when you're working, then you need them oxå course. The more time you spend with your cat, the more cozier and tillgivnare becomes.
Indoor or outdoor cat?
I do not sell my cats to outdoor cats, however, it is wise to learn the cats to go in harness. You can also have a cat farm, or power in his balcony if you have access to this. Many ritingar on the internet. The reason I do not want my cats running loose out there is to it easily happens accidents or can they easily get sick than if they are inside. There is no one who can say: aaa what fun, my neighbor's cat, cow yesterday and peed down our hammocks, or our neighbor's cat climbs up and sleeps on our car and make paw prints, which we think is cute. No, rather it is, fucking bastard cat and then throws you something for it. What other pets can see ensamna out and run loose? Like, no, why should your cat need to be alone out there? Unattended.
What one must consider, however, is to always have good capitalization and climbing / scratching opportunities inside. Otherwise, scratching them on your furniture.
How do you do on holiday?
Ensure that you in good time before the holiday fixes so that the cat has it good. Ask a friend or like to live in your apartment or house during the time, or find out a good cattery that the cat can stay in. All cats are unable to stay so while others do it excellent, you can see for yourself to determine what you think that just your cat can handle. Might be good to try a weekend when you should be home just to know. You may not legally leave the cat alone then go away. No, it's not enough if you add up food and water.
Allergy Risk
If there is an allergy in the family? Then you should really think about! Please check with a physician before there are different tests to do. Some people can handle certain breeds and some do not, some can handle adult cats but not kittens. It is very different, as if there's an increased risk you should do what you can before you get the cat. I sell no cat to the test. Please come and visit several times before you decide and feel well.
Housecat or pedigree?
Domestic cat is the same as farm cat - a cat without a pedigree. Unregistered pedigree cats is also known housecat. Just as much loved father of course but not the domestic cat, there are already so very many, 100,000-century are homeless already. That man of course is not the increase. We know neither the existence of disease back in line, and you're supposed to only breed healthy animals.
I sell my cats as pets. Then, if the buyer want to start with the show is of course a lot of fun and I are on hand to help, but you should not feel like a must. When it comes to buying for breeding in a forthright komunikation. I want to obviously sell the "best" in the litter from them conditions you have for the day. Talk about your concerns, honesty, I very strongly.
But I will always be available for you / you and the cat.
Male or Female?
It is a matter of taste. Neutered male cats are said to be extra cozy.
My dog was wonderful cuddly as a neuter, (he was also before).
Others like females better. A fertile female can run every 10-14 days a fertile male crying out for females and if you can be unlucky start to sprinkle. It is far from all but one can never know if it will be done with just your sweetheart.
If the cat will not go as planned and reputable breeders (male and female) TO the castrated the cat's own sake as soon as possible when the vet sees fit. (Some see it as an advantage to neuter as early as possible, while others think it is better to wait a bit. But around 6 months is good so the cat has time to become sensitive mature anyway, a female does not need to run or have a litter before she neutered.)
A female that runs and runs often go down himself in the weight and feel then very bad.
The risk is also much higher that they suffer from uterine infections, etc.
a female pill year in and year out are also at very high risk of mammary tumors and other diseases.
Therefore, she is spayed if she is not included in the planned breeding.
A fertile male who never mate feel very bad, lose weight and become slim. Becomes very stressed out by calling for females all the time (also becomes difficult for you) he can sprinkle (spray the drawing) and or pee everywhere. (Couch, bed, etc.) Which is not fun and it can get quite annoyed at his once beloved little baby.
Therefore it is better for a dog that will not go into breeding be neutered. Or even if you notice that he has a hard time even though they had other plans for him, cat's well-being must always take precedence over their own hobbeys.
Included he planned and reputable breeders have made that choice and therefore can not be mad at him if he wets the house down.
What is the cost? Why is it so expensive to buy pedigree?
A Norwegian Forest Cat (without S in the middle), you should buy from a reputable breeder. Then it must be because vaccinated ie 2 times the cat plague and cat flu, identification mark and veterinary inspected then, opinion is divided in terms of deworming or not, but here in our cattery, we choose to deworm our little ones.
You should also get a pedigree that shows that the cat is registered and where one can deduce its provenance.
It costs a lot to raise animals and it is not something you make a profit of, you do it because you want to highlight a race according to its standards and that it has a strong interest in breeding and rearing. Learn how to genetics, etc. But if you start because you think you can earn easy money do you learn to walk on a nut.
Some examples of what we breeders pay and which therefore makes the cat is not free. Many people say, but how on earth can heeeeela to pay so much for a CAT? One might as well just pay 500: - on the block. Yes, absolutely, but do we know that the cat is healthy and fit and without mass inbreeding? Is your cat vaccinated and genomgådd by a vet? Are parents the animals healthy?
Do you even know who my father is the cat?
I have absolutely nothing against domestic cats, but I am strongly against domestic cat breed.
- See below what it costs to raise a cat in a serious way.
- Mating fee to stud owner, about 1000: - pairing charge + ca 1000-1500: - / kitten bit depending on the breed of cat, some will have to pay far more to borrow a male. (If you do not have your own dog).
- Self male is in itself do NOT särskillt cheap, they can sprinkle and pee down an entire home in a very short time if you are unlucky. What does a cleanup?
- Various tests (eg, HCM, GSD IV, FIV / Felv), deworming of the female before mating.
(Even the male if you have your own male)
- Exhibition Costs to see strengths and weaknesses in their cat's appearance and then knowing what to pair with to get the best possible offspring
(One hopes the on).
(By that I mean that you should NOT set out to get a lot of titles that you can then use himself off to
increasing the price of kittens or lending of tomcat ..
Then you are more than a hobby, not a breeding inside her to do. (I think))
Kitten fee to stud owner for any live kitten is born. - Decreasing 3 times / kitten and the other cats in the home.
- Identification marking of kittens.
- Vaccinations 2ggr / kitten to cat plague and cat flu.
- Veterinarian kittens.
- Registration fee PEDIGREE to kittens.
- Cats I'ma Fuse latent defects insurance
- Advertisement of kittens.
- Last but not least all the cat litter and food that is spent. Toys that wear out and need to be replaced several times in 12 weeks. Cat Furniture that has to be replaced approximately after every batch depending on how many cats there are in the litter. They wear extremely small baby claws.
It is what it ALWAYS costs to breed cats if you do it on a serious bacis.
Then you can suffer from bad luck, which is not uncommon, but it's nothing you can increase the price of the kittens too but it costs us as breeders if it happens.
