As modern society attaches great importance to spiritual life, more and more people choose to introduce pets, especially cats, into their lives to bring them companionship and fun. However, with the spread and update of pet care concepts, some controversial views have gradually entered the public eye. Among them, the statement "cats should not be kept for more than 7 years" has aroused widespread discussion. We will not directly investigate and criticize who put forward this view, but we must correct some of the "negative cat raising" remarks. The rumors prevent many newbies from being fooled.

First of all, this view is likely to come from a misunderstanding of the cat’s menstrual cycle. The average lifespan of a cat is about 12 to 15 years, and some cats can even live to be over 20 years old. Seven years is only the middle period of a cat's adult life. At this time, they are still full of energy and need the love and care of their owners. Therefore, from a biological perspective, the statement "cats should not be kept for more than 7 years" does not have sufficient scientific basis to support it.

Second, we should be concerned about the potential harm of this perspective. Assuming that some people, after listening to this statement, actually give up their pets in the seventh year of keeping cats, this will not only cause emotional harm to the cats, but also violate the moral responsibility of pet owners. Once a pet is adopted, the owner is responsible for their well-being throughout their life. Pet care is not a responsibility that can be given up easily, but it is a long-term commitment.

However, it is essential to explore the reasons for the popularity of this view. In some cases, people may have to rethink their decision to own a cat when they face life changes, such as moving, changing jobs, or changing family members. But in the face of these practical problems, we should proactively find solutions, such as seeking help from family or friends, contacting animal adoption agencies, etc., instead of simply setting a time limit to avoid responsibilities.

Next, we should also consider that the emotional bond between people and pets strengthens over time. Years of companionship have created a deep relationship and trust between pets and their owners. From both an emotional and moral perspective, the idea that cats should not be kept for longer than seven years seems out of place. For an owner who truly cares about their pets, proposing such restrictions is unfair and fails to take into account the importance of the cat’s emotional well-being.

Pet care also faces many practical problems, such as medical expenses and housing restrictions. Especially when cats enter old age, they may face more health problems, requiring owners to invest more time, energy and financial resources. These realities may indeed affect the breeder's ability and willingness to continue breeding. Therefore, a more reasonable point of view is: before getting a cat, future pet owners should have a thorough understanding and estimate of their pet maintenance responsibilities. Only by fully considering your own time, financial conditions and psychological preparation can you make wise decisions and try your best to ensure that you can accompany your pets throughout their lives.

Before adopting a pet, it is expected that pet owners should also be aware of their pet's potential health problems. Disease prevention, regular physical exams, and emergency response strategies are key to keeping your pet healthy. At the same time, pet care should be carried out in a planned and responsible manner, such as vaccinating pets regularly, and deworming and physical examinations on time.

Finally, for those owners who can no longer afford the responsibilities of raising their pet, finding a suitable next home is a responsible choice. Seek help from a professional animal rescue organization when necessary to ensure your pet is properly cared for and loved. Following this practice respects the well-being of pets and upholds the value of harmonious coexistence between humans and animals.

So, family members, the view that "cats should not be kept for more than 7 years" ignores the love and care involved in pet raising. Responsibility and a lack of adequate consideration for the pet's needs and feelings. As a pet owner, you should take this long-term commitment seriously, provide a stable and loving living environment for your pet, and give up the decision to raise a cat when faced with danger. Developing a deep bond with your pet takes time and patience, and the relationship should not be constrained by time constraints. Let us become more responsible pet parents, give our pets a happy and healthy family, and enjoy every moment of each other's company together.
