Devon Rex breed comes  from a cat with  curly  fur , found in 1960 by Beryl Cox, in Devon, England. He  observed that a  street cat  gave birth to a kitten with a weird look and wavy fur, whose father apparently was a cat with the same kind of coat that made his century in the area. The kitten became  the ancestor of  Devon Rex breed. Being a relatively new breed, Devon Rex is carefully crossed  with copies of American and British Shorthair, to strengthen existing genetic background. In the U.S., the first copies of Devon Rex arrived in 1968 and was recognized in 1983.

Morphological traits

The first impression  that  a Devon Rex cat leave  is a mischievous  face with curly fur . Cheekbones are grade, large eyes and ears and bigger and located quite low on the skull. The face of the cats have a distinctive line. Viewed from the front, the skull is limited by a series of 3 distinct convex curves that gradually narrows: the outer edge of ear lobes, cheekbones and the clamping line of whiskers. The head is preferably flat, but its length must be greater than the width. It is recommended that face to be good shape, with prominent cheekbones and a junction area of the whiskers clearly delineated. Seen in profile, the nose presents a prominent stop. The forehead is slightly curved, and the skull is flat. The muzzle is short and well-defined and  the chin is strong and developed. Eyes are  large, oval and elongated to the outside, are placed at a considerable distance from one to  another. There is a standard color for the eyes of this breed.  The ears are a hallmark of this breed, with unusually large and placed low down. Are very wide at the base and the peaks are rounded. Ears are covered with very soft fur and, sometimes, may have tufts of hair.
The body is medium length, strong and muscular, but slender at the same time. Limbs are long and slender, and the previous are slightly shorter than previous ones, featuring small and oval paws. The front has five fingers and the rear four. The tail is long, thin and rounded on top, covered with short fur.

Character and behavior

Devon Rex has been described as a cross between a terrorist and a small monkey. Cats are extremely lively and extrovert and seem to be born to entertain. Have some quality “dog”, and excessive love for toys funny, and can be trained to do all sorts of tricks. Cats are very loving and gentle, and do not like monotony and loneliness. Guests may be surprised to find that a Devon Rex cat is curious yet carefully investigate them before they get to sit down. He loves to relax next to you at night and wake up in the morning with kisses on the forehead, snoring with affection. Devon cats are loyal, dedicated and intelligent, to mention only some of the qualities that they own. Powerful jumpers , they explore any place that  can  be accessed . She  is  very curious and always interested in contact with people, most of these cats are inviting themselves in any activity involving them.  They eat anything and have a penchant for food that is normally not for them . They are very noisy.

Birman have a very robust attitude and they are very endurable. That a lot has to do with the myth that has been associated with it that a lot has to do with the place it originates from Burma; Birman cats are tagged as sacred companion of the Kittah priests the temple of Lao-Tsun. One day, when the temple was attacked and Mun-Ha was killed, Sinh placed his feet on his master and faced the goddess. While the white fur got a golden tint to it, his eyes turned blue, as the goddess and the legs and tail that were touching the ground turned into the shade of the earthy color. However, the paws that were on top of the priest remained white. It is astonishing to notice that still Birman cats have fingers and toes that are in pure white color regardless of what other color they have for the rest of the body. Birman is a large, strongly built, elongated and stocky cat, they are a natural breed. In comparison to the other cat types, Birman have long, silky hair with a semi-cobby body. All Birman Cats are born white its color starts developing only after a week or two weeks. While in the first week, Birman Cats have dark color, it is only after two weeks that they have clearer color. They have beautiful deep blue eyes which is also associated with the myth of Lao-Tsun temple; where the goddess in that temple said to have had blue eyes and presided over the journey of the souls.

Birman Cats are known for their companion ship and loyalty towards their owner. They have many dog like features as they like to follow you around the house, they like a little taming and when they need attention they try to communicate it and when their appetite for this is fulfilled it will go back to some other place and let you do your work. They are very timid once either discouraged or encouraged while doing anything they surely grab that instance and would act accordingly then. Another very intriguing aspect to this cat breed is the voice; as it has a very sweet tone and soft vocals, which they often use when acquiring peoples attention.

Birman Cats are very popular for their disciplinary temperament and companionship as they form a great affinity with not just the owner but with their entire family and as often at times it has been witnessed that children has the tendency to man handle or roughly handle the cats they don’t mind that in fact they love that rough play. One thing common amongst many breeds of cats is that they all are very intelligent but Birman Cats are highly intelligent creatures they keenly watch all the activities that are going on around and love to take part in them too, they are not afraid of any house hold activity and actively wants their share in any thing that is happening around. They live about for 15-18 years and they cost around $450. The maintenance is quite much as 2-3 brushes a week and bath at end of every season but the deep blue eyes and the divine factor to this cat makes all this worth it.

Do you know some superstitions about cats? We have prepared the most popular for  you. Some of them probably you have heard, some of them we have to treat with smile, but some of them can be harmful for our cat.

Black cats  bring bad luck or good lack

It is the most popular superstition associated with cats. Facts show that black colour brought bad luck only cats, but not people. In the Middle Ages dark cats were burned at the stake with women who were witches. In Poland people believe that black cats bring bad luck, but in United Kingdom people say that cats in this colour bring good luck. Like we see everything depends on interpretation.

Cats like milk and have to drink it

Superstition that  cats  go together with  milk is not truth. Cats like milk, but only young cats have to drink milk. Later some of cats don’t tolerate milk. Milk can cause vomiting, allergy and trophic disturbances. Remember that if you notice symptoms, it means that your cat shouldn’t drink milk.

American Curl breed is famous especially for his bent ears , which are the result of spontaneous mutations. Ears are straight and open, bending through the back, in a graceful curve, opposite to the  Scottish Fold cats, which are bowed and bent toward the front. The ears give the breed an alert and cheerful look.
American Curl breed history begins in a sunny day of June 1981, in Lakewood, California. A black female with long hair and silky, with some unusual ears, appeared at the door of Joe and Grace Ruga. Joe Grace encouraged her not to feed the cat, but the woman, listening to her heart, left a bowl of cat food next to the doorway.  The black and affectionate cat  quickly made its way into the heart of the family, who called  it Shulamith, which means “black but pleasant”.
In December 1981, Shulamith gave birth to her first offspring. Of four kittens, two had their ears bent. He was contacted a geneticist to study this phenomenon, confirming that this unusual ear is the result of genetic mutations, most likely inherited, caused by a dominant gene, and strains without attachments. Referring to it as a spontaneous mutation, the gene that caused the bending ear seemed to follow a single dominant pattern.
Inbreeding began in 1983. The standard of this breed is a medium-sized cat, alert, with an elegant aspect and a sweet expression, open, filled his ears remarkable. Because of his domestic ancestors, American Curl therapy is available both in the long hair, and in one with short hair, both varieties with a soft fur, silky, shiny and attached to the body. breed with long hair is different because of the very bushy tail. The  care of this breed is easily done. An occasional bath and brushing is all that one needs for these cats to maintain coat in good condition.

Morphological traits

The distinctive feature of this breed it  is the unique ear shape. The ears are quite stiff to the touch, high and open, bending the light in an arch. American Curl breed ears were compared with those of Lynx’s, with long tufts of hair accentuating the appearance of bending the ears. Great care must be taken handling the ears to avoid breaking  the cartilage.
When they are born, their ears are straight, but within 3-4 days after birth, the ears start to bend back. In the first  4 months of life, kittens ears gradually bend in different degrees, ranging up when determining the final shape at the age of 4 months. Around this age, professional can determine the quality cat breeder, based on the degree of bending of the ears, correlated with body type.

Character and behavior

In terms of personality, American Curl breed is very people oriented, loyal and affectionate. Being a nosy and curious temperament,  they assist their human companions in any action that those are  planning to do.
American Curl loves human company and adapt very quickly to any other animals, children or new situations. Although cats are considered to be smart, they keep the kitten behavior even on adulthood.

Varieties

Besides the fact that they are available with short fur  and the long fur varieties, the cats of breed American Curl can be any color or coat pattern. The eyes can have a whole range of colors.

What does luxury life mean? People, who are rich, spend money on new cars, new               homes, new yachts, traveling and … painting their cats. Probably you have  heard about tattooing and piercing dogs, but painting cats is a new trend.  It is popular among rich people. Single painting costs about about $15,000. What is important it must be repeated at every two or three months, what means that cat owner have to assign about $60,000 for colorful cat. It is too high price for normal  people.

What do you think about it ? Do you want to have a colorful cat? Look for pictures and think about it.  In my opinion, people who treat animals in this way, don’t have the heart. Painting cats should be forbidden and penalty should be high. People can paint picture, but why animals? I couldn’t understand it.   Cats are not a things, but  living being.

In USA another way to prettify cats is buying wigs. Some people say that wings are beautiful, but in my opinion it is redundant addition for cat’s fur. Animals with wings look strangely. I am sure that it is uncomfortable to have something like that on head. Think about your cat and don’t do it. Cats are beauty and don’t need it.

American Short-Hair Cat or American with short hair that descended from European cats were brought to the New World by immigrants, after the conquest of the  “saint” earth  and selected  in the new conditions to obtain the current form. The beauty and loving nature of these cats came to be widely appreciated, as well as their ability to catch rats.
A cat belonging to this breed came to be offered for sale at the second annual exhibition at Madison Square Garden, in 1896, for fabulous sum of 2,500 dollars!

In the early twentieth century, the U.S. imported foreign breeds (breeds with long hair),which were crossed with native cats with short hair, producing kittens with different types of fur, colors and temperaments. Those who wanted to keep North American cats with short hair have acquired the best examples of the breed, which they began to selectively mate them, to keep their conformation, temperament and expressive figure, American Shorthair, as we know it today. FCA recognized the breed in 1906, being one of the first five races recorded in this Association. Known originally as “short-haired domestic cat, the breed was renamed in 1966, receiving the name of American Shorthair, that suggests more than its specific character and which distinguish American from all other breeds with short hair. This name emphasizes, at the same time, the idea that North American cat with short hair is clearly different from specimens that are found on the street.

Of pure chance, a cat with short hair and no pedigree may resemble an American Shorthair, as other breeds may have similar characteristics with Siamese cats, Persians or other cats. The difference, however, is that a cat with pedigree can consistently produce kittens with the same physical conformation, the same as the coat and the same temper, this thing doesn’t happen  common  cats. Years of inbreeding and careful recording of many generations of cats guarantees that each set of kittens will have certain qualities.

These beautiful cats have not only a great look , they are also healthy, tough and full of affection. Males have a waist larger than females, weighing between 5 and 7 kilograms at maturity. Female adults  weighing between 3.5 and 5.5 kilograms.

Morphological traits.

American Short-Hair looks at the  first sight with its  ancestor of which is distinguished primarily by a more robust format.
The breed is characterized by proportioned developed  triangular head, large enough, with good ears forward and their rounded shape tips .The width is equal to the  base . The eyes are  well developed, large and expressive, in harmony with the color of the coat.
Body, medium-sized, well dressed in muscles, supported on the limbs relatively long, but strong. The chest is broad, well-dressed in muscle, long neck and well supported .The tail a bit long, thins at the base. The hair covering the body is short, thick and often with fine medium, but bright and slightly away from the body .The colors are many and of which we can mention: white, black, gray-blue, beige, red, tabby, cameo etc..

Character and behavior.

Short-Hair breed is characterized by the same temperament and the same traits as those encountered in European cats.Very  intelligent and human attached, it ask for much movement,  so you have to provide an open space..
Resistant and less pretentious, very easy to accommodate with the conditions on which we offer, but at the same time, we should  respect her independence, which sometimes need .Its good to be left outside very often because otherwise with the first chance can escape.

Varieties .

Like the European cats, we can meet many varieties, which differ mainly in color and other morphological traits. Depending on color, we can meet  one color cats , bi-and tricolor, with different designs or spots.
