Isogo Ward Cat Breeding Guidelines

1 Purpose
With the change in the human living environment, cats who have lived together are also being forced to respond to an environment where it is difficult to live. In addition, cats are very difficult to restrict and manage their freedom due to their habits, and they have a great impact on surrounding areas such as environmental pollution due to manure and garbage clams, harm to the human body due to fleas, damage to the human body due to fleas, damage to equipment, etc. It is the source of complaints.

Therefore, as a minimum rule to be observed for coexistence between humans and cats, by clarifying the correct way to keep, contact, compliance items, etc., we will spread understanding of appropriate breeding and animal welfare. The purpose is to promote the creation of a town where cats and cats can coexist comfortably.

While ensuring that cats currently being bred do not become stray cats, local residents will properly breed and manage cats without owners who are currently living in the area and receive food from people. We will shift to cats whose responsibilities are clear, and as a result, we will reduce the number of stray cats (cats without owners).

Since the handling and contact methods differ greatly depending on the method of raising cats, they are classified into the following three types.

Cats whose owners and places of residence are clear, and are mainly receiving food from specific people.

Cats that do not have a specific owner and live in the area and receive food from people.

Cats that are properly bred and managed in the area according to the “Owner's Compliance Matters (for Outside Cats)” indicated in these guidelines.

※Noneco: Cats that have separated their owners and become wild, and always prey on wild birds and beasts in Yamano.

1. Observe the obligations of the owner stipulated in the Act on the Protection and Management of Animals, the ordinance on the protection and management of animals in Yokohama City, and local breeding regulations.
2. To fully understand the habits, menstruation, etc. of cats, be aware of their responsibilities as owners, and breed cats with affection for life and properly.

4. Cat complaints can also affect human relationships, so be sure to analyze the content of the complaint calmly and try to take a better response without claiming your own convenience or statement.
   ・Understand that some people dislike cats and avoid contacting them due to allergies.

He often sleeps during the day, and night activities become more active.

Female estrus is repeated several times at almost fixed time. Males do not have their own estrus cycles. (I will be invited by a female estrus)

Males have a strong sense of ropes, especially during female estrus period, male activity expands and fights increase.

I prefer soft soil and sandy soil. In the case of males, urinary marking (spray) is often performed.

It is an instinctive habit that can be seen when the cat feels relaxed or uplifting, or when nails are metabolized or marking.

Cats are self-esteem, self-reliant, and are whimsical to their owners because of their whims. I hate sudden changes in the environment, sudden loud noises and noisy environments.
