200,000 people are traded a year, and the pet cat becomes a lucky cat
Raising a cat can earn 20,000 yuan a year. Some citizens can't help but raise two cats to sell for money. The market for pet cats this year is very good, with trading volume increasing by 30% to 40% compared with last year. It is expected to reach 200,000 this year, and the profit is as high as 200%, attracting many professional and non-professional gold hunting. Pet cats suddenly become lucky cats.
Last Sunday, the first cat exhibition exchange meeting of Anshan Pet Association Pet Cat Branch Anshan opened in Anshan Antique City, Tiexi. At the exhibition, a total of 80 exhibitors brought more than 50 breeds of pet cats to attend, among which the most expensive pet cat is worth up to 100,000 yuan, which also attracted tens of thousands of visitors to visit the exhibition.
President Huang of the Pet Cat Association said that he was not surprised at all with such high popularity, because in the past year, the market for pet cats has been bullish, with trading volume of 30 to 40% year-on-year. Based on the daily trading volume of about 50, it will be close to 200,000 per year. Among them, 80%-90% of male cats are sold to other places, while female cats are mostly produced and sold locally for breeding.
Insiders in the industry have done a calculation. Taking the current raising an ordinary female cat as an example, the purchase price is 5,000 yuan. There are three litters a year, with an average of 4 cats per litter, two males and two females. Each male cat can be sold for 1,500 yuan, and the female cat can be sold for 3,000 yuan. Excluding the monthly breeding cost of 200 yuan, the profit of a female cat "manufacturing" is about 20,000 yuan per year. "If it is a precious cat, it will make more money than this. It is hard to find a 'English Short' in our Anshan market. The next litter of cubs will be booked within two or three days!"
In contrast, the pet dog market has become much lonely. A farmer who has been engaged in pet breeding for many years revealed that the current price of ordinary small dogs is around 500 yuan. If you buy one, you can raise two litters of dogs for a year, and each male and female is also sold at a price of five or six hundred yuan per person. In addition to the breeding cost, the annual profit of each small dog is about 4,000 yuan. The difference in the cat and dog market is very obvious. The price of ordinary pet dogs is only 3000 yuan, while the cheap pet cats cost two or three thousand yuan. Therefore, I used to raise dogs, and I have started raising cats in the past year. "Just because of the bad dog market, 20 to 30% of farmers have changed to raising cats."
In addition to farmers, the increase in cat lovers in our city has also increased the popularity of pet cats. According to reports, most of the fans of pet cats are born in the 1980s and 1990s. They believe that cats have cleaner and more independent living habits than dogs. Some people even think that cats have a more "cute" appearance than dogs. The "cat economy" derived from this is also heating up. At present, some pet stores in our city have launched pet cat service projects, such as taking a bath. The single consumption is about 50 yuan, which is 20 yuan more expensive than taking a pet dog's bath. Industry insiders said that Cat is worth a lot of money and supporting projects will definitely not be cheap.
However, there are some problems behind the hot market for pet cats. According to President Huang, about 10% of the transactions are "cat tricks", such as using inferior products as good products. However, once citizens encounter such situations, they can complain to the association.
