Veterinarian Galkin called the advantages of garden cats over thoroughbreds

Purebred cats are more susceptible to genetic diseases than barnyard animals. According to veterinarian Bogdan Galkin, this is due to the “origin” of four-legged animals.Street animals, unlike “purebreds”, did not arise as a result of artificial crossbreeding, which means that they have a lower risk of hereditary diseases than purebreds. This is due to the lack of “intentional mutation”.“All the qualities of the breed are fixed artificially, they are in fact mutations. Because of them, cats have contracted many genetic diseases, ”explained the veterinarian in an interview with NEWS.ru .Street animals, according to the expert, require less care, as they are more adapted to life. Galkin notes that they are less likely to suffer from otitis media and joint problems.
