It is said that more than ten years ago, cat breeds were still distinguished by color. Breed cats were considered rare species. Whoever could raise one would be the talk of the neighbors after dinner. Nowadays, breed cats have footprints all over the world, and breed cats can be seen in both rural and urban areas.
As the saying goes, rare things are more valuable. As more people raise breed cats, abandonment becomes more common. I don’t know since when, breed cats have officially joined the army of stray cats.
The average life span of stray cats is only three years. They lack experience in surviving in the wild. Once the domesticated cats live on the streets and become stray cats, they not only don’t know where to find food, but they can’t compete with farm cats for food. The end will only be more miserable. What will happen to
cats after straying? Let us find the answer from this real example!
Encountering a Stray Breed Cat
The first time I met that cat was on the road near my home. The cat looked so thin that it was just bones, and its figure was shaky, as if a gust of wind could blow it over.
As the distance between the cat and the cat became closer and closer, the cat’s heart suddenly tightened. One of the cat’s eyes was injured! The originally bright and clear right eye became dull, leaving only a bright blood hole. Although the blood had dried, the scene was still shocking.
This cat is actually still a breed cat, British short blue and white. It should be held in the hands of its owner like a treasure and loved by its owner. But now it is skinny, unkempt, and living on the streets with great difficulty.
No one knows how the cat's eyes were injured. Perhaps it was scratched while competing with other stray cats for food, or it may have been injured by someone with ulterior motives. No matter who the culprit is, the top priority is to take it to a pet hospital for treatment.
I thought that cats who have been wandering for many days would be somewhat wary of strangers, but unexpectedly this cat has a particularly soft and cute personality. At first, cats were a little timid and did not dare to approach the poop scraper.
When the scavenger took out the delicious food, the cat immediately ran over and ate it with big mouthfuls. The food was swept away in an instant. It looked like it was really hungry.
After successfully gaining the little guy's trust, the cat was sent to the pet hospital. In addition to eye problems, the cat was severely malnourished and anemic. Because of the recent hot weather, its paws were also burned by the ground.
The doctor judged based on the teeth that the cat must be at least six years old. Even though he has reached middle age, he still has a lot of time to enjoy being a cat.
The cat's right eye is severely damaged and cannot be saved. Fortunately, it still has one eye and can continue to appreciate this beautiful world.
The stray cat was adopted and then driven away by domestic cats.
Due to some reasons, the cat was unable to be adopted. In the end, a kind-hearted local elder sister adopted the cat and named it "Odin." The elder sister fell in love with Odin at the first sight.
In the words of the eldest sister, this cat is good at everything. It is good-looking and has a gentle personality. Although it only has one eye, that is its unique symbol!
The cat also likes its new owner very much. It sticks to her like a little tail and snores comfortably when the owner touches her head.
What worries the eldest sister the most is whether the aborigines in the family will accept this new member. The aborigine was once a stray cat. He was adopted by the eldest sister a few years ago. He has a cold personality and usually likes to be alone. Suddenly there is a cat in the house. I don’t know if it will reject it.
Sure enough, when the two cats met for the first time, there was a big fight. It was the aborigine who made the first move, and Odin had no choice but to fight. Fortunately, his owner pulled him away in time, without causing any harm to both parties.
In order to stay, the stray cat tried its best to please the domestic cat.
If the two cats wanted to live in peace, one of them had to make concessions. In the end, Odin compromised. He seemed to understand that this home was hard-won. From then on, Odin became the aboriginal's little follower. As long as the aboriginals did not get angry, he would quietly stay by their side, allowing the aboriginals to gradually become familiar with his existence.
That day, the owner got up in the morning and saw an amazing scene when he passed by the living room. Odin was helping the aborigines clean their fur. Although the aboriginals looked unhappy, they did not refuse!
After Odin tried hard to please him again and again, the aborigines finally accepted him. The two cats now have a close relationship, making even their owners envious!
Now Odin lives a happy life. He has a loving owner and friends who play with him. His only regret may be that eye.
I would like to say that compared to other stray cats, Odin is really lucky. He has relied on his strong will to support himself until now. If he had not met the poop scraper, Odin might have passed away silently in an unknown corner. This is also the fate of most pet cats after they become stray cats.
No matter what breed of pet cat, it will be difficult for them to survive after being maliciously abandoned, because they have long been accustomed to a life of being cared for by humans. Therefore, if you have already raised a pet, please be responsible for them to the end and do not abandon them midway. If you cannot continue to raise them for some reason, please find a reliable home for the furry child.
