Five Cat Breeds You Shouldn't Raise

If you are a novice or a busy parent, it is generally not recommended to raise the following five cat breeds: Scottish Fold, Milky Cat, Ragdoll, Garfield Cat, and Hairless Cat. This is because these cats require more time and attention from their owners, and cats like Ragdolls and Hairless Cats have fragile digestions, prone to vomiting and diarrhea if not cared for properly. Therefore, for novices, choosing breeds like Orange Cats, British Shorthairs, and American Shorthairs may be more suitable.

1. Scottish Fold

Scottish Folds have a genetic defect that makes them prone to bone diseases, resulting in stiff joints, walking instability, rigid tails, and thickened paw pads, causing the cats a great deal of pain. There is no cure for this condition, and pain relief is the only option. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to raise Scottish Folds.

1. Milky Cat

Also known as the "cat version of a Husky," Milky Cats are very active and mischievous. If their owners are not at home, they may cause chaos similar to that of a Husky. Moreover, Milky Cats hold grudges, and they may retaliate by defecating everywhere and causing chaos when their owners do something they don't like. Therefore, it is advised not to raise Milky Cats if it's your first time owning a cat.

1. Ragdoll

Ragdolls are expensive, and their digestions are very fragile. Improper diet can easily lead to soft stools and diarrhea. Additionally, Ragdolls have long hair that requires regular grooming to prevent matting. During shedding season, they will shed a lot of hair, making them high-maintenance. Therefore, it's not recommended for novices to raise Ragdolls.

1. Garfield Cat

Garfield Cats have short nasal passages and flat faces, which often result in tear stains. Their owners need to clean their eyes daily with wet wipes, making their care more complicated. Moreover, Garfield Cats have a higher risk of respiratory diseases than other cats. If they contract a respiratory infection, timely treatment is essential, or it could lead to the cat's death. Therefore, it's not recommended to raise Garfield Cats if you don't have much time.

1. Hairless Cat

Hairless Cats are artificial breeds, so their physical strength is relatively weak compared to other cats. They easily catch pneumonia or rheumatic arthritis when they get cold. Moreover, their digestions are fragile, prone to vomiting and diarrhea. They require a lot of time and effort to care for, so it's not recommended to raise Hairless Cats if you are a busy office worker with little time to spend with your cat.
