It is not recommended to buy a short-legged cat because the short-legged gene will inhibit their bone growth and cause their bones to age quickly. Short-legged cats for breeding will have a certain stillbirth rate. If you raise a short-legged cat, you need to regularly Take it for a chest and internal examination.

Why is it not recommended to buy short-legged cats

The shortfoot gene inhibits the bone growth of cats from the fetus until the cat grows into an adult cat. At the same time, short-footed cats' chest and spine are prone to diseases caused by this gene.

Rapid bone aging is also a common problem in bantam cats. If two bantam cats are bred, the kittens will die during the embryonic period. Even if bantam cats are crossed with other cats, there will be a certain stillbirth rate.

Therefore, it is not recommended to raise a short-legged cat. If you already have one, pay attention to controlling the cat's weight, avoid strenuous exercise, add more nutrients to its bones, and take it for regular chest and internal examinations to ensure its health.
