"Nekomusubi" Releases Breeder Evaluation Scoring Feature: Quantifying Breeding Environments and Health Management

Mycat Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo) is pleased to announce the release of a breeder evaluation scoring feature for its AI cat breeder matching service, "Nekomusubi" (https://nekomusubi.xyz).

Challenges in Choosing a Breeder

According to a survey by the Japan Pet Food Association, the number of cats kept in Japan has reached 9.155 million (Source: Japan Pet Food Association, 2023 National Dog and Cat Ownership Survey). Furthermore, according to Yano Research Institute, the pet-related market has expanded to a scale of 1.9 trillion yen (Source: Yano Research Institute).

When welcoming a cat from a breeder, owners often face the challenge of "not knowing which breeder to choose." There are many items to verify, such as the cleanliness of the breeding environment, health management systems, socialization efforts, and the availability of after-sales support, making it difficult for first-time cat owners to evaluate these factors appropriately.

Overview of the Breeder Evaluation Scoring Feature

The newly released feature scores breeders based on the following five evaluation axes:

1. Breeding Environment Score: Evaluates the quality of the environment where the cats live, including the size of the breeding space, cleaning frequency, and temperature/humidity management systems.

2. Health Management Score: Evaluates the status of vaccinations, regular veterinary check-ups, and testing for hereditary diseases.

3. Socialization Score: Evaluates the timing of kitten handover (whether it is after 56 days of age), opportunities for contact with humans and other cats, and the provision of play and stimulation.

4. Information Disclosure Score: Evaluates the disclosure of pedigree information, the publication of photos and videos of parent cats, and the sharing of growth records of past kittens.

5. After-Sales Support Score: Evaluates consultation availability after handover, the existence of health guarantees, and acceptance systems in case of emergencies.

Score Calculation Method

Each evaluation axis is calculated by an AI that integrates information registered by the breeder and feedback from past users. Scores are displayed out of 100 points, and the breakdown of each item can also be viewed.

For those considering welcoming a cat, please use the "Nekomusubi" scoring feature as a reference for choosing a breeder.
