Since the beginning of their wandering life, cats and dogs face the threats of hunger, disease, and traffic flow every day, and they must also prevent people from hunting and abuse. Except for a few lucky ones who are adopted by individuals or rescue organizations, others are in harsh environments every day and struggling to survive. The harsh living environment has greatly reduced the life span of animals. According to surveys, the life span of stray animals is generally about three years, while the life span of pet cats and dogs kept at home is often more than ten years.
