Why can’t you keep a native cat? Should I raise it? Local cats cannot be raised like pet cats. It is not recommended that everyone keeps them because they are more accustomed to life in the wild and prefer to live in a wild environment. In addition, it is difficult for local cats to be domesticated, and it is difficult to get them used to human lifestyles, and may even hurt them.
The local cat is our Chinese cat, called the Chinese pastoral cat. In the past, every household would basically raise a local cat and a local dog in the countryside. At the beginning, everyone raised mice to catch mice. The skill of catching mice by local cats is indeed first-class. Especially like a tabby cat.
Because, raising a cat is basically a free-range way. Let the cat roam everywhere, as long as it can catch mice, you can do whatever you like. Therefore, the interaction between cats and humans is much less. Unlike those pet cats, they are locked up at home every day, often play with the cats, hugging and kissing them.
And the local cats are more independent and sometimes they can't see them for a day. As long as they are given food, they catch mice and eat them by themselves.
