How can we distinguish between a pet cat and a feral cat? Conflict in Japan as well. 길고양이, 집고양이, 야생고양이….고양이를 분류하는 방법은 여러 가지입니다. Stray cats, house cats, feral cats... There are several ways to categorize cats. 우선 눈에 띄는 건 외모입니다. The first thing that catches the eye is their appearance. 털이 윤기 나고 깨끗한 고양이는 주인이 돌봐주는 반려묘일 가능성이 크고, Cats with shiny and clean fur are likely to be pets that are well cared for by their owners, 털이 지저분하고 더러운 고양이는 길고양이거나 야생고양이일 가능성이 높습니다. Cats with messy and dirty fur are more likely to be stray cats or feral cats. 그러나 이는 어디까지나 추정일 뿐입니다. However, this is only an assumption. 야생고양이는 사람과 접촉이 없어 온몸이 더럽고 털이 엉켜 있지만, Feral cats do not come into contact with humans, so their whole body is dirty and their fur is tangled, 주인이 돌보는 고양이도 청결하지 않을 수 있습니다. But even cats that are cared for by their owners may not be clean. 실제로 일본 후생노동성은 반려묘가 야생고양이로 오인돼 학살되는 사례가 발생하자, In reality, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has seen cases where pet cats are mistaken for feral cats and are killed, 구분 방법에 대한 지침을 마련했습니다. and has established guidelines for distinguishing between them. 일본 정부의 지침에 따르면 우선 고양이를 맨눈으로 관찰합니다. According to the Japanese government's guidelines, first, observe the cat with the naked eye. 만약 눈이 크고 둥그스름하며, 귀가 작고 털이 짧고 윤기가 나는 등 If the eyes are large and round, the ears are small, the fur is short and shiny, 길고양이에게서는 볼 수 없는 특징을 보이면 반려묘일 가능성이 큽니다. and shows characteristics that are not typically seen in stray cats, then it is likely to be a pet cat. 고양이의 몸무게를 재는 것도 하나의 방법입니다. Weighing the cat is also a way to determine its status. 야생고양이의 평균 체중은 2.5~3.5㎏이지만, The average weight of a feral cat is 2.5-3.5 kg, 반려묘는 4.5㎏ 이상인 경우가 많기 때문입니다. while pet cats often weigh 4.5 kg or more. 또 다른 방법은 고양이의 배를 살펴보는 것입니다. Another way is to examine the cat's belly. 야생고양이는 먹이를 제대로 먹지 못해 배가 홀쭉한 경우가 많습니다. Feral cats often have thin stomachs because they do not eat properly, 그러나 반려묘는 배가 나온 고양이도 있습니다. while some pet cats have protruding stomachs. 이 같은 방법을 통해서도 100% 확실하게 고양이 신분을 알 수 없습니다. Even with these methods, it is not 100% certain that you can determine the cat's status. 고양이의 상태와 행동을 보고 판단해야 합니다. You have to observe the cat's condition and behavior to make a judgment. 일본 환경성은 "고양이의 상태를 잘 관찰하고, The Japanese Ministry of Environment said, "Carefully observe the cat's condition, 야생고양이 구제 사업 등을 실시하는 지자체의 담당자는 동물의 취급에 관한 지식을 익히는 것이 중요하다"고 밝혔습니다. and it is important for local government officials who carry out feral cat control projects to acquire knowledge of animal handling."
