Disadvantages and Pitfalls of Online Cat Shopping
Disadvantages:

2. The purchasing area is limited - the collection is unlimited, but this is because buying cats has certain special characteristics There are many inconvenient factors in its long-distance transportation, so it is more stable between cities.
Trap:
There is false information about the fitness level of cat parents, and some breeders are trying to make money Allowing cats to give birth many times a year will directly have a very negative effect on the health, purebred level, and genetic optimization of the kittens.
An incident involving online cats being deceived recently occurred in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province. Ms. Wang is a senior citizen As a cat lover, I have been looking forward to owning a white Garfield cat for nearly a year. A month ago, after searching local pet stores but failing to find a suitable cat, she decided to look for a cat online.Just get lucky. Ms. Wang chose a seller who claimed to be in Shanghai. After a brief communication, the seller proposed a deal, and Ms. Wang agreed.
After looking at the circle of friends, Ms. Wang really believed in the identity of this seller. However, out of security considerations, she still requested the other party to provide the video and transaction license of the white Garfield cat. The lively kittens and transaction licenses in the video made Ms. Wang put aside her doubts. Not only did she transfer the cat purchase fee of 5,500 yuan at the request of the other party, but she also transferred 530 yuan for quarantine fees at the request of the other party the next two days. However, Ms. Wang soon discovered that she had been deceived: the cat sent to her by the seller was not transported by air as agreed, but by truck. The kitten in the cage is not the agreed-upon white Garfield cat, but a Chinese native cat that has just been weaned. What is even more distressing is that due to the premature separation of the female cat, this pitiful kitten died in the truck without food or water for two dawns. Regarding this kind of incident, the police said, "This method is really difficult to classify as fraud." If these sellers do not send cats to buyers after receiving money, it can be said to be blackmail. However, the current situation is that they sent the cat, but the cat they sent was a different breed of cat, which makes the nature of the matter closer to a civil dispute: the buyer thinks that he bought a local cat at a high price, but the seller can say that his cat is worth the money. Such a high price. Because the breeds and prices of cats are inconsistent, buyers and sellers have different vocabulary. The police instructed that pets should be purchased through local sales as much as possible. This can not only prevent pets from finding compensation for health problems, but also avoid loss of money due to online fraud.
Things to note when shopping for cats online:
1. Be careful when purchasing kittens under 3 months old
The behavior of kittens that are too young is not very clear when they are young. They may become ugly when they grow up, and it will be too late to regret it. They say college girls have changed at 18, and so have some cats. Some cats are ugly when they are young, but turn out to be beautiful when they grow up. Therefore, do not buy purebred cats under 3 months old. In addition, purebred cats are more delicate than domestic cats. For the sake of their health, it is better to let them eat breast milk for a longer period of time, so that their resistance will be stronger. At the same time, some genetic diseases of purebred cats will not show up until 3 months. If you buy a larger cat, the health of the cat will be better protected.
2. It looks like a domestic cat and is easy to be fooled
Many overseas Purebred cats, such as Turkish Van cats, Ankara cats, Norwegian jungle cats, Maine Coon cats, etc., all look very much like Chinese domestic cats. When distinguishing, it is difficult for professionals to distinguish if they do not see the cat directly. If you buy such a cat on Taobao, it is easy to be fooled.
3. Make video confirmation with the seller multiple times before purchasing
After you’ve spotted the cat you like on Taobao, don’t be impulsive and snap it right away. It’s best to video chat with the seller multiple times to see the quality of the kitten. When considering the appearance and appearance of the breeding cat, more attention should be paid to the appearance of the breeding male. The appearance of the cat is mainly inherited from the father. Purebred cats focus on bloodline. It is best to ask whether the cat is a direct descendant. Such descendants may have genetic defects. In addition, you can ask the merchant for a pedigree statement, so as to ensure that the cat is purebred. You should check the cat you purchased in order to avoid that the cat on the video and the actual one delivered have been stolen.
4. Pay attention to the glory of the business
When buying a purebred cat, you must check the reputation of the seller, and it is best to choose a seller with a good reputation. Some may offer discounts, but they may not be worthy of the name. Also take a look at the reviews of other netizens. Read more and summarize them for selection. If you decide to buy it, it will usually be shipped by air on China Unicom flights.Only cats over 3 months old are allowed to be transported. In addition, the seller needs to inoculate the cat with triple cat and rabies vaccines, and obtain an immunity certificate from the relevant unit, so as to allow transportation. Therefore, there may be a certain amount of time from when the witness is purchased to when it is shipped. If you are lucky enough to arrive in the city just now, you should also make sure that the cat has been vaccinated! In addition, buyers should contact the cargo department of the local airport in advance and bring their ID card to pick up the cat.
