Burmese breed requires attention from people

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Burmese1The cat “suspected” that would be ancestor of the Burma race was a little brown cat, named Wong Mau, who was brought from Burma to America in 1930. An investigation of the genetic fund showed that Wong Mau was a hybrid of Siamese  and a new breed with a dark coat, called Burmese  because  of the origin. The reproduction was possible to isolate selective gene  which caused  dark hair  and so was created  the Burmese  we know today.

Morphological traits

The  neck is of medium length in proportion to the body. Seen in profile, head slightly indented from the top of skull to the tip of the  chin . The forehead is rounded. The nose is a distinctive line and nose must be in line with the tip of chin. The ears are well apart, situated on a rounded basis , being wider at the base, with a rounded top and are slightly bent forward. The outside line of the ears are still easy to line the face, although in mature males who developed jaws it might not be very apparent. The eyes are large and bright and can be in any shade of yellow, but yellow is a favorite. However, these cats eye color is sensitive to changes in quality of light. Legs are flexible and feet are firm and oval. The tail is right, without crimping and ends in a tuft like a brush . If  the tail length is the one recommended, will reach the shoulders .

Character and behavior:

Burmese  cat is a very friendly and affectionate creature and requires more attention from people, she is happy in a domestic environment. It is very playful and can be taught to bring lumps of paper in the Burmese2same manner in which a dog  brings a bat to be  thrown,  she  gets  along very well with children, so is a  great family animal. They are very sensitive to the feelings of its master. If you have a profession that needs to be away from home all day, would be a good idea to have two Burma.  She  protests  and will follow its master all over the house begging attention. Burmese cats  are very “talkative” and therefore have no discomfort to “communicate” when they miss something or will encounter noisy when you return home. Animals are ideal for life in an  apartment, but only if they have company, because otherwise they writhe their lively temperament and affectionate that it will not show unless they have company. Burmese  owners are extremely loyal and, because of their ability to recover things were called “cat dog”. Do not like to remain on the outside of family life and often insist to participate in any activity that takes place. They are very intelligent and can easily solve problems such as the Open Door, the artists in the escape. Children are very good, but if it becomes too bothersome, just Burmese will turn back and will go until the child overblown. They are excellent companion and seems to understand every woBurmese3rd that is said, is very sensitive to the mood of the master.

Varieties

The fur is short and glossy, which is a distinctive feature of the race. The hair is fine and stays attached to the body.  We may meet ten  fur colors, but they are all lighter in the lower zone of the body.

Created by accident – Burmilla breed

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

burmilla1Burmilla breed was created by accident, when a male  of Chinchilla had a  clandestine meeting with a bat Burmese female . The resulting kittens were so attractive, that quickly won the heart of those who have seen them, some of them adopting her. Public interest was so great that the crossing was re-forming as a new breed. Kittens resemble more with the Burmese race than the Chinchilla, having  the incisive  and friendly temper , of the Burmese race and silver color and little stripes like Chinchilla.

Morphological traits

Burmilla is a medium sized cat, because  of the Burman blood that takes him from his ancestors. The female is smaller and more delicate than the male. Cape has a considerable widith between the ears and has a slightly rounded dome. Jaws are broad at the top, ending with a big snout and flattened. Seen in profile, chin and nose are located in the same vertical plane. Ears are of medium size with rounded tip.

The paws are oval and the size is medium length, thinning slightly toward the top, which is rounded.burmilla-2

Character and behavior:

Burmilla is less hectic than a Burmese , but not lazy as a Chinchilla. These cats love to be given attention and feel the need to a  family. Can be very insistent and often follow their masters around the house begging attention. If they speak, they seem to understand and answer. Asian Cats are very intelligent and can easily overcome difficulties  opened. The curiosity and sociability of the Asian Burmilla can lead to all sorts of trouble, getting into cars or vendor guests. Therefore it is better to be kept in closed houses or gardens. Usually she adapts easily to the environment they live, as long as they live in comfort. They like to play and scratch various surfaces. Can be very sensitive towards the feelings of owners and this makes them excellent pets. In addition, not very loud.
The Fur is short and the body  don’t  rburmilla3equire much care, though they  appreciate it if you pay attention in this way.

Varieties

Background color is always a very white silver clean-tipping can be silver, chocolate, lilac and other colors, red or cream. This color comes from a particular gene that inhibits pigmentation hair on a portion of its length. Tapping’s intensity is less   important than its homogeneity. A tipping that  is considered too open, that does not create a net contrast. The cats often have a tabby drawing on their head, legs and the tail, derived from selected lines of wives Clarke.  The drawings should not be tabby and body, but only on the extremities.

American Bobtail breed with small tail.

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

AmericanBobtail1American Bobtail a cat that can be robust and timid than any other breed of cat as it is found in the chilling weather of Alaska and can afford to live in places with mild climates. It has been often witnessed in many cases that human often look for things in places where they are likely not going to find them but if you are looking for a cat with traits that are similar to dogs then American Bobtail is the right choice; it has been termed affectionately by many as dogs in cats clothing. Because if trained properly then they behave exactly like dogs; though they go also well along with dogs but they can be thought to fetch things and can play throw fetch either. They have been reported to be very good companions while traveling as if trained properly since childhood. They also greet you up on your entrance to the house just like dogs do. They are also not afraid of water.AmericanBobtail2

As the name indicates the most fascinating feature of this breed of cat is the thick “bobbed” tail which is about one-third or one-half the length of a normal cat’s tail and if this is ever found shorter; then it should be made sure that if the cat has short spine, then it may become a problem later. American Bobtail was developed with the cross between domestic Tabby cat and a Bobcat though its thick and short tail comes from the Tabby cat. Bobtail’s unusual tail is the result of a random spontaneous genetic mutation within the domestic cat population. Unlike other cat breeds it takes more time to grow. But once it grows into its full bloom with its long body, broad chest and the posture that it has with the shorter fore legs, large round feet and toe tuft make it a sight to behold. The longhair American Bobtail has a coat that is slight shaggy and medium to long in length. The body is long with a full broad chest with wide hips that are slightly higher with defined shoulder blades which highlights its muscular look. Another very interesting feature of this cat is that it comes in any AmericanBobtail3color and it eyes too but mainly yellow, green, gold and copper, blue in bi-color/van or odd-eyed in white.

It is very social and get along very well with any member of the family and especially with kids as they like handling and are very fond of being getting hold in lap. They are very lively and can stay active for hours, though they may take some time in getting used to the new environment and the knowing the people around them but once that button is pressed it unleashes its intelligent side and take away hearts with a drop of a hat. But one thing that is very important to know is that they are very prone to diseases because of the constant genetic experimentation and the cross breeding that ultimately led to the creation of this breed; leas and ticks can cause skin problems in these cats, other problems reported in American Bobtail are hip dysphasia, dry skin or dermatitis. But over all they are very adorable.

Himalayan- cross of Siamese breed and Persian breed

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

You see them in the movies in the plays. They are very popular breed and they are very expensive though Himalayan1but still they are the ones largely sort after; those who own one consider themselves the luckiest on earth, that is non other than the Himalayan. They are the cross breed of Siamese and Persian; from the Persian it gets the long hair, the round body shape and the very odd looking face structure which apart from looking very odd make the breed prone to breathing difficulties, skin and eye problems and birthing difficulties. From the Siamese it gets the active attitude, the talkative nature and the extra energy.

Himalayans have round cobby body with short legs; which is a typical Persian trait which makes them unable to jump and roam around higher places but some times they do tend to have even body shape like Siamese then they do get to enjoy the feast of roaming and exploring places at higher altitudes. Himalayan’s comes in white or cream color as for full one color but the points come in many different Himalayan3colors: seal (or black), blue, lilac, chocolate, red and cream. The color of their eyes is mostly deep vivid blue which make them look completely exotic.

The Himalayan’s they have inherited some of the traits from its ancestor Persian; due to which they are very docile, independent and have a lap cat attitude which makes them a perfect apartment cat. They are not that active they just love to lie around and lay back and relax, enjoy the petting on the back or just sitting in the lap. Himalayan do talk unlike Persian which some have said that they are just simply mute and Himalayan have inherited this trait from Siamese who are very vocal but this had only a very little effect not much but even that is something; making a completely mute creature able to speak, Himalayan have a very chirpy voice it is not very sharp and they often get themselves heard when they feel they need to. Since they don’t even like much activity because Himalayan2there body structure is not like that, as they have very short legs and a round cobby body so the mechanics of this breed makes it unable to follow that course and be active and jumping around all the time therefore they are only recommended for elderly people and the results have been miraculous as they need so much petting and grooming that it is not possible to some body with a lot of work at hand to be able to take out time to look after this pet. Therefore Himalayan’s have been only recommended for those who have a lot of time so that they can properly groom their Himalayan as it needs a lot of grooming because of the long hair that it has and it sheds a lot of hair therefore they will start shedding in clumps so to avoid such situation it is recommended to brush 2-3 times a day in order to keep the coat not only looking good but to keep healthy. They are very expensive and they cost $600 to $1500. Himalayan life span can stretch from 18-22 years as it depends on how they are being look after.

Cornish Rex breed with copper or gold eyes

Monday, September 14th, 2009

CornishRex1The Cornish Rex is the result of the mutation that occurred from a litter of kittens where one of the kittens, a male had an extremely unusual fine and curly coat; he was the first Cornish Rex. The owner soon realized that it is occurred due to mutation and soon the male grew up and was able to mate it was cross breed with the mother and hence produced two more such kittens. Later it was bred with the Siamese and this where they got the long tails and ears from.

Cornish rex only has undercoat they have fur that is curled CornishRex2the more it is rubbed the tighter the curl gets. They have no hair except for the down hair; the undercoat which means that they are best suited for indoor living in warm and dry conditions. Its body temperature is slightly higher than the other cats (102 F), and these cats tend to hang around places that are warmer such as the light bulbs, the tops of computer monitors and other warm places including laps and shoulders. The Cornish Rex is lean from torso to tail and they every thing they have Legs, Ears are Tail its long. They come in different colors white, black, chocolate, orange and diluted blue, lilac and cream also mackerel and ticked tabbies in bicolor. Their eyes colors are usually copper or gold.

The Cornish Rex are very delightful, fun, active and fascinating creatures they form bonds with every one and very quickly they have no favorites as every one who comes in front of it becomes their favorite. So if the owner has to go for some time and have to leave their cat back they really don’t have to bother about it that much. They also can go along very well with CornishRex3other pets or animals either new one or regular, be it either dog, cats, parrots, birds or rabbits it has no problem with any one in fact they would actively like to play with them. If they are provided an option they will choose to play and spend time with the humans; at the time of their sleep you are likely going to find them in the bed primary reason is to get to a warmer place but there are certain other places to go to but the human bonding has a lot to do with it. Be it kitten or full grown up their interest in playing and remaining active never fades out. Their maintenance is also very easy as they don’t have hair; only under coat, no guard hair or the outer fur so there is no hassle of brushing just the little rubbing with the hands is the only care that is required and they don’t shed hair excessively just like other breeds of cats do. They cost $650 to $700 and they can live up to 13-15 years of age.

They are very less demanding though when they need the attention they communicate it and after the fulfillment of their appetite for their attention they go back to what they were doing and let you alone to complete the task you were working on. British Shorthair is very quite, laidback and affectionate creature they often like to help and they love to participate in activities that people around them are working on, they might even at times jump into bed with you. They are equally inclined towards people belonging to the adult age group or children they are at par with the teddy bBritishShorthair3ear though they don’t mind cuddling but they would love it a little petting on the back with the just resting on the ground.

They make very little noise but they do talk when required; they don’t brag around all the time. They have a very unique distinction of recognizing voice of people and they try to literally talk to them and reply back in their distinctive manner. They go along very well with cats, dogs or birds. As British Shorthair enjoys company of other animals who share the same temperament as they have. They are not demanding at all doesn’t matter if you are a person or a family that sits around and watch TV or have less activity going around they only need affection and they will just come and sit around where you are or watch any activity that is going on from a distant place and contend it self with that. The maintenance is something where one has to be very careful because they shed twice a year in spring and fall, while shedding winter coat and getting summer coat but the routine care involves just hand grooming and soft brush. They cost around $600 to $700.
