Chapter 53: The Fate of the Folded Ear Cat
Liu Chang nodded after hearing this, he had read a lot of information about folded ears cats before he came, and he understood it somewhat.
Chocolate, lavender, Himalayan coat spots, or a combination of these coat colors are not recognized by certification associations, and certainly not purebred cats.
This kind of cat is almost all bred by the family, but it does not belong to the real sense of the folded ear cat.
There are also unscrupulous cat dealers, in order to produce more folded cats, let two folded cats breed, and breed in the wrong way, which greatly increases the probability of disability of folded cats.
This happens not only in the ears, but also in many bred cats, with disabilities in the tail and limbs.
Those who are cultivated except for the ears are not disabled and sold at a high price in the market, while those who have tails or limbs are cruelly disposed of.
Under the bright and cute appearance of the kitten, how many people know that it is a genetically mutated disabled species?
The folded-eared cats saw that strangers were coming, and many of them who were awake came to the edge of the barbed wire, looking at Liu Chang and the others curiously through the barbed wire.
Wang Jing glanced at it first, and then said to the girl.
"Can I go in and touch them?"
The girl smiled and nodded.
"Of course, I'll open the door for you. ”
"Thank you. ”
Wang Jing thanked the girl, pointed to three of them, and said to the purebred folded cat in the girl's mouth.
"Help me open these three, I'll take a look at these three. ”
The girl nodded, and opened the leftmost one first, and inside was a pure gray chubby folded ear cat, looking at Wang Jing with a curious expression.
The door was opened, Wang Jing squatted at the door, and the gray folded ear cat slowly stepped forward and made up, not looking very afraid of people.
The girl stood next to her and said with a smile.
"The folded ear cat is a cat breed that is not aggressive but not afraid of the living, and you can pet it. ”
"The cat's certificates are all complete, right?"
"Well, it's complete, the purebred certificate, the health certificate, the vaccine certificate are all there, and if you need to see the certificate of its parents, it's also okay. ”
After hearing this, Wang Jing nodded and said.
"Parents' words... Do you need it, Brother Chang?"
Liu Chang, who was looking at a gray-and-white striped cat with folded ears, thought for a while and said.
"I don't think it's needed, I haven't heard that the customers from the store have asked to see the certificate of the pet parent. ”
The girl smiled and said.
"Okay, anyway, you decide, if you need it, I can give you that copy, and it won't bother. ”
Wang Jing nodded, and gently touched the pure gray folded ear cat with his hand, first gently brushing its back with his hand, and then slowly and gently brushing its tail.
The whole process of the folded ear cat did not have any discomfort, Wang Jing nodded without a trace, and then put his hand on the limbs of the folded ear cat, gently pinched, the folded ear cat also has no special symptoms.
"Okay, I'll take a look at the other two. ”
The girl opened the other two doors in turn, and Wang Jing touched them one by one in a similar way.
Until the third folded ear cat, Wang Jing frowned, but didn't say anything.
Wang Jing stood up and said to the girl again.
"Can you give me two pieces of cat food? I want to feed these two cats. ”
The girl thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, you can wait a minute. ”
With that, the girl walked out of the small area.
Seeing the girl leaving, Wang Jing said to Liu Chang.
"Choose one of the gray and this gray and white striped cat, and I'll see their bite force later, and if it's okay, it's a premium cat. The third leg is somewhat stiff and the limbs may not be very flexible, and it may be the offspring of a folded ear cat and a folded ear cat. Of course, this is not a certainty, but this cat is born with a deficiency. In this case, the incidence of hidden diseases in folded ears cats will increase. ”
Liu Chang looked around and asked Wang Jing in a low voice.
"Folded ears cats still have hidden diseases?"
"Yes, because of the disability gene problem of folded ear cats, basically all folded ear cats are born with hereditary bone diseases, that is, chondrosis dysplasia, of course, not every one will develop the disease, but they all have this risk. The incidence of cats born to folded ears and folded ears cats will increase, most of these cats are born with weak constitution, respiratory problems, and congenital myocardial hypertrophy, that is, heart disease. But this disease is difficult to detect, once the disease occurs, the cat's life will be in danger, at that time, it is necessary to control the diet and take medication for life. ”
Liu Chang frowned after hearing this, and then pointed to the other two folded ears cats and said.
"Is there something wrong with these two little ones? Could they have this condition?"
"Strictly speaking, there is also this probability, but as long as you feed it well and pay more attention to the health of the cat, you can still raise it. These two are strictly purebred folded cats, and they should both be descendants of British short and folded cats. The length of the tail is about two-thirds of the length of the body, it bends freely, the limbs are flexible and not stiff, the face is rounded, the bridge of the nose is medium-length, and the neck is moderately long, and the muscles are strong. However, the first one is a little fat, and it is recommended that you choose the second gray and white striped cat. The teeth are also very healthy, they have completely passed the tooth replacement period, and they are seven months old, which is also more suitable for training, and the overall aspect is relatively good. ”
Liu Chang nodded, looking at the gray-and-white striped cat that had looked at him before.
The little guy is very beautiful, with gray and white stripes all over his body, two blue eyes, and black almond pupils, which looks bright.
The body size is on the small side, smaller than the Mei Short and Siamese in the store, and the overall body looks round, with short back hair and full beard, which looks very charming.
Liu Chang looked at the third folded ear cat again, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Each of these little ones is so cute, but they have hidden diseases that no one knows about.
Looking at the folded ear cat with congenital problems that Wang Jing said, it was sticking to the edge of the barbed wire, looking at the two of them, as if they were full of curiosity about the world.
In fact, Liu Chang wanted to take it away, but he still restrained himself, after all, he was not a pet hospital here, if the little guy really got sick, he had no way at all, and at that time...
Liu Chang sighed, came to the little one, and gently touched the cat's little head through the barbed wire.
"Little one, I hope you can be healthy in the future, if you can, I really don't want you to come to this world..."
The cat couldn't understand what Liu Chang was saying, but it was very comfortable to be touched by Liu Chang, and the two eyes looked at Liu Chang so straight.
