Cat Breeding Practices – “Caging” Compromises Cats’ Health

Any cat husbandry practice that places pedigree felines in cages 24/7 dramatically interferes with the health of that kitten. It is not natural or normal for a cat to be caged all day. A cat needs to exercise and act like a cat.

Imagine spending your entire life caged in a space so small you couldn’t move your arms or turn around. That is the sad life of all our pedigree cats that are used for breeding all over the world. Pedigree cats are often confined to such small spaces that they cannot live their natural way of life by walking on all 4 legs. These unnatural practices compromise their immune systems, so in order to keep the cat looking healthy, they are pumped full of antibiotics, which damages the integrity of the feline’s health.

These unnatural pedigree feline caging practices are promoted by the cat-loving community that is involved in pedigree cat breeding. Cat husbandry practices promote feline illnesses that would not otherwise occur if the feline was free to roam the owner’s home all day.

To prove what I’m saying, let’s put a cat breeder in a cage with enough room to sit, walk a few steps, defecate, and eat. If it’s not healthy for a human cat breeder, it’s certainly not healthy for a feline cat.

Wondering why you read so many complaints from pedigree cat buyers who always complain that they “bought a sick cat”? When the consumer goes to the cat breeder’s home to buy the cat or kitten, the cat looks good. The reason is that the cat breeder has the feline on high doses of antibiotics. The problems come after the kitten arrives at its new home. Within 24 hours or less, the cat will show signs of disease that were suppressed by the large doses of antibiotics administered by the cat breeder. The kitten was sick before the consumer purchased this cat. The antibiotics simply manipulated it to trick the buyer into making the sale.

Very famous breeders keep their queens on antibiotics throughout their pregnancy. So you wonder why kittens are so sickly. If a woman took any kind of medication during pregnancy, it is very dangerous. Not so with these cat breeders. They have totally destroyed the integrity of the pedigree cats’ immune systems with all the medication they give them, because they don’t know what natural foods to feed and they don’t know how to care for cats in general. Cat breeders have completely destroyed our pedigree cats. How sad is that? It’s very sad actually.

CFA and all other cat registries affirm that they care about the welfare of felines everywhere. That’s a trick. These cat registries and the entire cat breeder community have absolutely no interest in the welfare of cats. Their only interest and passion is lining their pockets with the money they earn from the sale of their cats. And continuing to attend cat shows to win those coveted ribbons to feed their insatiable egos that their cats are the “best.” To show off and say: “my cat is better than yours”. It’s just a gossip and cat fighting game for adults who are addicted to felines and then become cat hoarders.

And for those cat exhibitors who say they don’t make any money selling kittens. They will say that they go out even because of all the expenses just for running a hatchery. They insist on spending all that money to have that hatchery. Because everyone has to outdo each other. Not everyone thinks they don’t make money. They make a lot of cash. But they make most of their money once their cat/kitten gets their coveted title of Champion or Grand Champion etc. They can then sell the kittens at outrageous prices in the thousands to other cat breeders and novices who want to become breeders.
