Backyard cats refer to cats that have not undergone rigorous breeding and management, and are typically bred and kept in homes or small commercial settings. These cats may not have undergone genetic testing or health checks, nor have received proper nutrition and care, and therefore may have health and genetic problems.
Backyard cats are often kept by people with no cat-owning experience who may not realize how much effort and money it takes, or how to properly care for a cat. These cats may live in unsanitary and unsafe environments, lacking proper nutrition and healthcare, which can lead to various health problems and even shorten their lifespan.
