英国猫慈善机构警告说，年轻的城市主人使用安全带的使用率不断上升，绝育率和微芯片植入率较低。 UK cat charity warns rising harness use, low neutering and microchipping rates among young urban owners.

英国的一个猫慈善组织警告说,15%的猫主现在使用绳子把猫带到户外,比去年的10%有所增加,这说明有压力限制猫的自然本能逃离。 A UK cat charity warns that 15% of cat owners now use harnesses to take cats outdoors, up from 10% last year, citing stress from restricting cats’ natural instinct to flee. 这一趋势是由较年轻、较富裕的城市所有者驱动的,他们中许多人宁愿购买小猫而不是养猫。 The trend is driven by younger, more affluent urban owners, many of whom prefer purchasing pedigree cats over adopting. 自 2024 年 6 月以来，绝育率已降至 82%，年轻的主人不太可能遵守英格兰的强制性微芯片法。 Neutering rates have dropped to 82%, and younger owners are less likely to comply with England’s mandatory microchipping law since June 2024. 虽然全球定位系统追踪器很受欢迎,但它们不是可靠的替代品。 While GPS trackers are popular, they are not reliable substitutes. 慈善组织推荐安全的运输载体,并告诫人们不要在户外行走,强调猫在安全、熟悉的室内环境中蓬勃发展。 The charity recommends secure carriers for transport and cautions against outdoor walking, emphasizing cats thrive in safe, familiar indoor environments.
