To the cat owner
Last Updated March 19, 2019
In the past, cats used to go outside freely, but the environment surrounding cats has changed due to recent changes in housing conditions.
Isn't your cat bothering you outside?
Please keep it indoors
Complaints such as the damage of feces urine and the damage of cars by cats that have been taken out are increasing, and it often leads to troubles between residents.
There are also dangers such as traffic accidents and injuries and illnesses caused by fights between cats.
Therefore, please keep them indoors for domestic cats.
Please indicate the owner
Cats that are originally kept outside or can walk freely can go far away unexpectedly due to estrus or being surprised by loud noises, and may not be able to return home . At that time, even if you are protected somewhere, you will not be able to contact unless you specify the owner.
If you have a collar or lost tag, you can contact the owner.
In addition, if a microchip is attached, it will be embedded in the body, so even if the collar falls off, the owner can be identified with a reader (a machine that reads the microchip number).
Be sure to clearly indicate the owner for your precious cat.
About the implementation of sterilization
Cats have estrus in about six months and can give birth.
Cats have a very high probability of becoming pregnant due to ovulation when mating, and can give birth two or three times a year, so the number will increase sharply without sterilization.
If you do not plan to give birth to prevent troubles that can no longer be kept (cannot be bred) or reduce collection, perform sterile castration surgery.
