    Considering the family health before purchasing a cat is important because some individuals may have allergies or sensitivities to cat dander or fur.

    Cats should be housed outdoors.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Cats should be housed outdoors" is incorrect. Cats can be housed both indoors and outdoors, depending on the specific circumstances and the cat's individual needs. While some cats may enjoy spending time outdoors, it is generally recommended to keep cats indoors for their safety and well-being. Indoor cats are protected from dangers such as traffic, predators, and diseases, and they also have a longer lifespan compared to outdoor cats. Additionally, indoor cats are less likely to cause harm to wildlife and the environment.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement claims that the most trouble-free breed of cat is the common long-haired breed. However, this is not necessarily true as the term "trouble-free" can vary from person to person. While some individuals may find long-haired cats to be low-maintenance and easy to care for, others may consider them to be high-maintenance due to their grooming needs. Additionally, different cat breeds have different temperaments and health issues, so it is subjective to label one breed as the most trouble-free. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

  • 6. 

    Desexing should take place before the cat reaches maturity at around ______.

    • Four to five months

    • Five to six months

    • Six to seven months

    Correct Answer
    A. Five to six months
    Explanation
    Desexing should take place before the cat reaches maturity at around five to six months. This is because cats can reach sexual maturity as early as four to five months, and it is recommended to desex them before they can reproduce. Waiting until six to seven months may increase the risk of unwanted pregnancies or behavioral issues associated with mating behaviors.
