In ancient times, people valued cats for their nature of catching mice. However, nowadays, more and more cats have lost their mouse-catching skills but have become beloved by their owners. It's just that the cat's fluffy paws waving in front of you cause many people to fall under the cat’s spell, willingly treating cats as their masters. However, raising cats is not all benefits; there are still disadvantages. Cats may unconsciously bring troubles to their owners' health. Before you boast about how much you love cats, after reading the following, do you still dare to raise one?

Many people have experienced allergies, with full-body redness and swelling or a stream of runny nose and tears. Studies have confirmed that cat hair shedding, dander, and untimely cleaned feces may become causes of human allergies, medically called allergens. Once allergic, it can be very serious, causing sneezes, itchy dry eyes, loss of appetite, seriously affecting life and work. Treatment is also very troublesome and medical costs are very expensive. Therefore, if you decide to raise a cat, you must maintain good living conditions and cleanliness.

Cat’s fluffy little paws look especially cute, but cats may inadvertently expose sharp claws. If children get scratched, it can lead to a common medical condition known as cat scratch disease. It can cause skin infections in children. Even adults need medical treatment if scratched severely. Therefore, a cat’s nails need to be trimmed regularly.

Many diseases can affect cats, and once infected, their lives can be endangered. Treatment requires a large sum of medical expenses, and the outcome may still not save the cat’s adorable life. Owners have to face the great test of pet loss.

Shedding hair: while it rubs against you daily to show affection, it leaves not only cat scent but also fallen hair. You end up with cat hair all over your body every day, which can't be prouder.

Sleeping postures will become strange, afraid of accidentally rolling over and pressing the cat while sleeping. If the cat falls asleep first and takes the owner’s spot, the owner usually won’t wake the little cutie, only able to sleep according to the cat’s position and contour.

Cats are undoubtedly cute and affectionate, but after seeing the above risks, do you still dare to raise a cat? The test of true love has arrived. Owners, are you willing to care for the cat for life, and not abandon it even if it suffers from serious illness?
