			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>Some people think that animal shelter is place which is similar to rest place. Cats have a good care, shelter and calm. Sometimes it is truth. There are some animals shelters, where cats and dogs  are treated worthily and people who work there treat  with regard and sweetheart.<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-152" style="border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;" title="kot10" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/kot10-243x300.jpg" alt="kot10" width="243" height="300" /></p>
<p>Unfortunately, above mentioned places are not frequent. Almost animal shelters fight against shortage of money, animals redundancy and location conditions. Crowd cause stress and illnesses. Animals which are sick need to visit a vet and take drugs. But there is no money for it. Despite of good willingness of workers and  volunteers only basic things are contented.</p>
<p>What is sad there are also animal shelters where working people are indifferent to animal prejudice. Cats are not treated like living beings. Cats sleep in own excrements.  Depends on personel treatment  ill cats are asleep. Almost cats in animal shelters are left by owners. Reasons why people decide to leave cat are different : cat’s duty, owner’s allergy, child is born, cat is ill and other. If you really must give back your cat it is better to ask your friends and family. Find home for your cat. Animal shelter can be a  adjudication. Prepare advertisements and put in different places. Maybe someone is looking for a cat.</p>

Contact between child and cat is differ<img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-147" style="border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;" title="dziecko2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dziecko2-200x300.jpg" alt="dziecko2" width="200" height="300" />ent than between dog. Cats if they are in stalemate  can scratch . Child should be aware of this fact.  If someone wear cat in clothes, pull tail and scream cause that cat is afraid and can use teeth and claws.</p>
<p>Children should learn safety plays with cat. There are for example: throw artificial mouse or paper on thread.  Children learn cat’s language very fast. But we have to remember that all plays should be under parents control. If cat is not aggressive, can learn child delicacy and love. It is good known fact that  children who grow up between cats are more sensitive an full of feelings. So we can’t forbid contact child with animal.</p>
<p>When you have a baby you have to care about safety your member of family. Cat is always interested in crying parcel. First, you should show cat a content of parcel. Permit your cat on sniffing. For some time you shouldn’t leave your baby only a cat. During contact you have to observe a cat behavior.  If cat don’t show aggression it means that situation is self-possessed.</p>
<p>Friendship between child and cat can last for many years and for young person can b<br />
important experience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>Some people consider if it is necessary to bath a cat. I know answer , because I have talked about it with my vet. He said that there is no need to bath a cat, exluding below situations:<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-142" style="border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;" title="kotkapiel" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/kotkapiel-300x216.jpg" alt="kotkapiel" width="240" height="173" /></p>
<p>• Taking care about longhaired cat -  especially if you prepare your cat  on exhibitions<br />
• When fur of your cat is covered by substances, which could not be removed by your cat<br />
• Disease like tinea and parasites<br />
• Owner’s allergy<br />
• Rehabilitation in water after complex<br />
• Cald bath when your cat has burn or heatstroke</p>
<p>If bath is necessary you have to prepare: warm water (it can’t be too hot and too cold), towel, shampoo designed for cats and drier.  You can also ask for help someone with family. For many cats situation in which you start pour water on is very stressful. So it is better to put cat in bath filled water. Pour water on cat without its head  using your hand . If cat is wet use a shampoo. Avoid ears, eyes and nose. Rinse cat and dry using drier or towel.</p>
<p>First bath for cat is the worst, because cat don’t know what is happening and the owner don’t know cat reaction. Some cats like baths, so maybe your cat belongs to this group of cats. Remember that in normally situation bath is not necessary.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><strong>Seeing</strong></p>
<p>Cat is able to see in the night six times better then a human. Their range of seeing is definitely higher then human one <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-135" style="border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;" title="dwakoty" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dwakoty-300x225.jpg" alt="dwakoty" width="300" height="225" />and is equal to 285 degrees, comparing to 210 degrees in human eye. Cats are able to see very sharp even in poor light, but on the other side humans can see more details in high sun light comparing to cats.  Very interesting fact is the way that cat’s eye captures movement. It’s very sensible and if we connect that to very reliable distance estimation we have a perfect haunting machine. During night when cat is haunting it see’s everything in black and white. In fact cats don’t need to see colors as they focus on contours.</p>
<p><strong>Hearing</strong></p>
<p>Cat ear is moved by thirteen muscles and is very sensible for sound, especially for high tones. Cats are able to hear the sounds with frequency up to 60 kHZ . Let’s compare this amount to 20 kHz which is cached up with human ear.  Cat is not only able to hear more sounds but perfectly localize the source of the sound.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>Have you ever considered why the cat’s eyes shines in the dark?<br />
<img class="size-medium wp-image-127 alignleft" style="border: 4px solid black; margin: 4px;" title="oczy2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/oczy2-300x164.jpg" alt="oczy2" width="300" height="164" /><br />
The cat’s eyes are like the human’s eyes. When there is a little light, apples of the cat’s eyes enlarge as the same as human’s and reduce in daily light.  Shining in the night is considered of inner covering matters on the bottom of eyes. This reflective covering may be pink, green, blue and even gold. Depending on the incident light it reflects a different color. Thanks for this cats see in the night about seven times better than people. Some cats may have two different colours of eyes shining in the dark.</p>
<p>The cats may have eyes in one of the three basic shapes:<br />
•    round<br />
•    inclined<br />
•    almand-shaped</p>
<p>Theirs colours are usually green, gold and rarely blue. They may occur in many different<br />
tones.</p>
<p>While most cats do not distinguish colours, but his eyes are adapted to the use of trace amounts of light, which allows him to hunt at night. Also has a much wider viewing angle than a man, which allows him to perceive the slightest movement of potential prey.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-130" title="oczy" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/oczy.jpg" alt="oczy" width="200" height="121" /></p>
<p>Cats view the world in the colours, at least in the green and blue and their combinations. No cells are sensitive to red indicates that the cats probably do not distinguish color, but that the objects as they appear darker than green, and blue. No cells sensitive to red indicates that the cats probably do not distinguish color, but the objects as they appear darker than green, and blue.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>LaPerm  breed is a unique combination of curly hair and  warm personality. Nobody can deny the lov<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-331" style="margin: 5px;" title="LaPerm1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/LaPerm1.jpg" alt="LaPerm1" width="240" height="256" />e and affection that LaPerm breed cats  tumble on the owners, not to ignore the curly or wavy hair that is so interesting race.<br />
Kitten who presented first signs of the original mutation which was the basis for this breed among domestic cats came from &#8220;the barn&#8221;. In 1982,  in a farm in Oregon, situated near an old fishing and hunting in Wishram Indians, six kittens were born  from a barn cat. One kitten was born completely bald-totally different from her mother and brothers. Although it had a bit of fur, the cat had huge ears and a pattern for his stature &#8220;blueprint&#8221; of the skin, which copy a classic tabby pattern. By the age of eight weeks the kitten began to grow a very soft and curly hair. Between 3 and 4 months, kitten, named Curly, has grown a full  created coat .Not being very experienced  about his  cats, the owner and does not beat too much his  head with the &#8220;mutant”.</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits.</strong></p>
<p>The hair coat that forms the maxi<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-332" style="margin: 5px;" title="LaPerm2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/LaPerm2.jpg" alt="LaPerm2" width="244" height="173" />mum degree of wrinkled cats present on the underside of the body on the neck and the ears. Long hair is completed, in general  they have a wave and bushy tail. The coat is moderately soft like texture, however,  the fur of  every cat is unique in its way. Short coat type is more textured than the long coat. LaPerm Cats of race can be in any coat color or pattern recognition. Some kittens can be born without hair, but most have a short hair and curly or right at birth. Often, the kittens can be quite keys, or your hair may fall in some regions, up to several weeks. This process begins, usually when the kittens are two weeks, they can be in various stages of the absence<strong><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-333" style="margin: 5px;" title="LaPerm3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/LaPerm3.jpg" alt="LaPerm3" width="166" height="210" /></strong> of hair. In general, the fur is always regained created if the cat was born with curly hair.</p>
<p><strong>Character and behavior</strong></p>
<p>LaPerm cats are gentile and affectionate, but very active. Unlike  of many active breeds, LaPerm is quite satisfied with his sedentary cat. LaPerm will always prefer to settle near the master if it does not feel like playing. These cats look human company and start spinning as soon as I feel their presence. By their nature, are intrusive and cats will always know what is happening around them. They like to touch the front master with his paws and rub the head of the master, neck or face. Very cute cats LaPerm nature captivates all those who meet. LaPerm starts spinning as soon as he sees his master and loves to sit in your lap and be caressed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-391" style="margin: 5px;" title="Kurilian Bobtail1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Kurilian-Bobtail1.jpg" alt="Kurilian Bobtail1" width="326" height="215" />Top representatives of the breed Kurilian Bobtail appeared in exhibitions for the first time in 1990. At that time many experts believed that  the curious cats are  just an imitation of the famous Japanese Bobtail. Nothing  its not known  today  if the two races have something in common genetically, in addition to short and bushy tail. It is assumed that even Kurilian Bobtail cats were  the first breed &#8220;endowed&#8221; with a separate queue, after which  it would be developed breed Japanese Bobtail. While  the cats were high-ranking Japanese aristocrat breed, elegant Kurilian Island cats were kept in their natural state: more wild.<br />
The cats  of race in the Karelian  Bobtail (though the names are similar, there are 2 different races), they are the result of a mutation in the Manx breed or Kurilian. Karelian cats originate from St. Petersburg, in the western part of Russia. Recessive gene present in Kurilian tail is dominant in the Karelian cats. They are closer, after issue,  to the the Norwegian Forest Cat, while  the  Kurilian  is closer to the Siberian breed.</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits</strong></p>
<p>Bobtail cats Kurilian are medium to large. It is characterized by a muscular body, compact design.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-326" style="margin: 5px;" title="Ocicat1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Ocicat11.jpg" alt="Ocicat1" width="230" height="195" />Ocicat cat breeder is the result of the work of  an American  who crossed an Abyssinian female with a half breed Siamese  chocolate stained cat  and he obtained  ocelot kittens (Mexican wild cat). This male was then paired with American cat with short hair and the products were the basis for this breed. Ocicat is a relatively new breed of cats, which resulted from an accidental cross of conjoined twins Seal Point cat breeds and Abyssinian in the 60&#8242;s. One of the kittens had resulted chocolate color, with golden spots, strikingly resembling the wild cat Ocelot, hence the name Ocicat. Later in cross program was introduced and American Shorthair.  The race won champion status in 1987 in America. In 1988, the first cat breed Ocicat arrived in Britain, where their popularity is even higher than in U.S.</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits.</strong></p>
<p>Animal imposing a weight of 5-7 kg, from a morphologically resemble with the wild cat Ocelot and  South American<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-327" style="margin: 5px;" title="Ocicat2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Ocicat21.jpg" alt="Ocicat2" width="277" height="225" /> cat. Ocicat cat  has a triangular head, nice looking, well proportioned, with fine nose, slightly concave , red-brownish .The ears  are well apart, relatively long, and with the peaks  sharpened .The eyes are well developed, open, lively, bright and yellow .The trunk  is harmoniously developed, dressed in muscles strong and firm, without  being to big. The members are  normally developed but are long and powerful, the  designs presented in the form of stripes are  arranged in a circular pattern .The tail is long, fitted with circular rings. The body is covered with short hair, and bright, as we place &#8220;tight&#8221; on the body of the animal. The robe  presents a characteristic design , represented by the closed brown spots, evenly distributed all over the body.</p>
<p><strong>Character and behavior.</strong></p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-328 alignleft" style="margin: 5px;" title="Ocicat3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Ocicat3.jpg" alt="Ocicat3" width="203" height="203" />Cat breed in fast growing field because of its attributes, is shown to be increased still under conditions that ensure a large enough space considering her body weight . She is sociable, strongly attached to his master but is still reserved towards foreigners, whom he treats  them with caution. When  foreign persons appear, she usually gets angry and withdraw at her sleeping place, she listen carefully and do not appear until the guests have gone .If she is raised in an apartment or more than one villa, is indicated to allow her access to the terrace, which suits them and is sometimes necessary because of the air. She is a bit  demanding at food, is shown to be used , early in life with  fresh vegetables and rice, along with canned meat and fish, which  they accept with great pleasure. Despite their appearance of wild cat,  the temperament  of Ocicat cats doesn’t  reflect this.<br />
They are very smart and playful, curious and friendly and not aggressive. Like all active cats,  they prefer to have company and are so happy around people, but if they are gone all day at work, another Ocicat cat will become their favorite playing partner. Ocicat adapts easily and live well both indoors and outdoors.</p>
<p><strong>Varieties </strong></p>
<p>In the race we can meet cats  in which the tone color  can be variable, but are not allowed other than the standard colors or classic designs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-224" style="margin: 5px;" title="Somali1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Somali1.jpg" alt="Somali1" width="180" height="149" />Originated from a cross breed between Abyssinian and long hair Persian or Angora but there are certain other contradictory claims about its origination either which says that it occurred due to the natural mutation but having said that if the attitude, nature, physique, temperament and the Somali’s susceptibility to certain diseases is analyzed it is ascertained that it is a cross between Abyssinian and some long hair cat breed because the presence of numerous traits that are similar to Abyssinian. Therefore the former theory of Somali being a cross breed seems to be authentic. Somali has almost he same traits as those are present in its ancestor. Somalis are very active, hyper, vocal, playful and energetic they want human companionship all the time. Somalis have physical feature same as that of Abyssinian but the other cross of long hair d<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-225" style="margin: 5px;" title="Somali2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Somali2.jpg" alt="Somali2" width="296" height="222" />oes gives it something if not all that includes the fluffy coat of long hair and the bushy tail which is as long as in Abyssinian but they are short hair and Somalis have long hair. Somalis also inherit the “M” mark between the eyes from the Abyssinian known as frown lines. The also have the same color as that of Abyssinian yellow, brown, beige base with blue ticking, light-cream base color with darker cream ticking and Ruddy. They have eye color gold, green or hazel.</p>
<p>Somalis are always in search of human companionship and they are so keen for that they would even get into the cushion with you to sleep with you; they also like water unlike other cats they have the tendency to be in the shower with you. They are very talkative they communicate their discontent or pleasure over thing that they feel <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-226" style="margin: 5px;" title="Somali3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Somali3.jpg" alt="Somali3" width="245" height="184" />or even when they want attention of other for one reason or the other. They don’t just create noise but they talk back when some one is talking to them. They like to run around the house and wants their share in any activity that is going around; they act like dogs, they follow you from room to room and if you open a door first they would like to enter it and even when you open a bad they would like to see that what’s in they always like to climb to your lap and jump over you. They have long hair but that require very little grooming and they shed very little hair once or twice a year and the combing once a week is enough. They are very expensive they cost $800 to $1200. They do have long hair but they don’t keep on shedding all the time and they are very active and talkative a trait that is missing in most of the long hair cats therefore with less hassle of grooming and the availability of the best traits of one of the best breeds of cats make it the favorite breed in town.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>As the name suggests, Singapura is from Singapore, place where ancestors of this breed had a reputation for cats <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-366" style="margin: 5px;" title="Singapura1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Singapura1.jpg" alt="Singapura1" width="270" height="194" />&#8220;channel&#8221;, diverting much of their life especially through channels. Singapura is, officially, the smallest breed of cat in the world, although some males can reach and the size of a Burma. Singapura cats are believed to exist about three hundred years and are descendants of cats brought in from around the world in Singapore, which were crossed with local breeds. Singapura modern draws its origins from four cats brought  to the U.S. from Singapore in 1975, by Tommy Meadow.</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits:</strong></p>
<p>Although very much  she resembles  with the Abyssinian cat , Singapura cat is a much smaller sized cat. The head is round, presenting an easy stop positioned slightly below eye level. The nose is broad, moderately short and ends with a blunt top. On the nose there must be a strong signal with dark pigmentation. Ears seem too large for his stature, broad, sales at the base, the flag deep. The eyes are large, located at a distance not exceeding the length of the eye wide open. When closed, partially or totally, draw slash. It is desirable the presence of a dark outline around the eyes. Can be green, yellow or <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-367" style="margin: 5px;" title="Singapura2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Singapura2.jpg" alt="Singapura2" width="250" height="230" />amber, but cannot predict what color will the eyes kitten when it will reach maturity. On the forehead is painted sign &#8220;M&#8221;, characteristic tabby cat. The tail is medium length, feet are very small and small-sized body has moderate length, but is very muscular. The Singapura cat is developing very slowly and does not reach the final body size only after the age of 15 to 24 months. There is much difference between the appearance of male and female animals.</p>
<p><strong>Character and behavior:</strong></p>
<p>Singapura is a friendly cat who loves people very much, begging , literally,  for attention. They enjoy watching television with his master, sitting in his  lap or on his shoulder. Singapura cat like watching the world from somewhere above, so all the time are on the top of the furniture. Not like the cold and damp, as appropriate for indoor cats. Her voice is warm, delicate and usually express great appreciation of her feline face of company owners. Attention to details,   Singapura  manages to quickly identify habits or hobbies of the  people to whom lives, indeed, and they  make fun  at their expense imitating them. Movement which performs a cat while playing help develop a  their physical characteristics. A big advantage of the breed i<strong><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-368" style="margin: 5px;" title="Singapura3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Singapura3.jpg" alt="Singapura3" width="230" height="307" /></strong>s that breeding males of childbearing and don’t  mark their  territory  not in the house or around it. Another big advantage is that, although Singapura cat is a perennial, it is not at all noisy. Thus, during the heat, the female does not &#8220;yell&#8221; like her  Asian sister , but rather stuttering, allowing the owner to sleep peacefully at night. &#8220;Vocabulary&#8221; of the cats is based more on gestures and less talk, it is expressed through glances or feet movement. Sometimes they tap master as a token of consolation, even biting him gently, which is not always painless.</p>
<p><strong>Varieties</strong></p>
<p>Race does not know color varieties, Singapura  cats fur have  a single color: sepia . In fact, it is an intense shade of brown, an ivory-colored background. Each hair of the coat with at least two bands of sepia brown color, separate color bands of light color, top hair is dark, while his base is lighter. The fur on the muzzle, chest, stomach and ventral side of limbs  don’t  show bands, but is colored in one color &#8211; creamy white, and ivory.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>It is a result of the mutation that occurred when a hairless cat was discovered in the litter of normal kittens.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-218" style="margin: 5px;" title="Sphynx1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Sphynx1.jpg" alt="Sphynx1" width="311" height="208" /> Sphynx are hairless and they don’t literally are hair less they do have soft hair called peach fuzz, because of the lack of hair just like Cornish Rex in order to stay warmer they cuddle with people or animals and in their quest to stay warm and cozy you would even find them in the bed with you. They have wedge shaped heads and they have heavy bodies where they often develop pot bellies which are very commonly witnessed in this breed of cat. They are very warm, compassionate, caring, loving and cuddly creatures they love companionship. They are very curious and inquisitive about every thing, they always wants to participate in activities that are going around them and would effec<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-219" style="margin: 5px;" title="Sphynx2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Sphynx2.jpg" alt="Sphynx2" width="205" height="281" />tively try to get their share of work or try to find area where they can lend some help.</p>
<p>They have eye colors such as gold, green, amber, blue and aqua. If they don’t have hair or coat that doesn’t means that they either have one color or no patterns; their skin is the color of their fur would be and all the usual cat marking patterns (Solid, Pointed, Tabby, Mitted, etc) are present in Sphynx too. Though it should be made sure that there is a limited exposure to the sunlight because due the lack of hair the sun rays comes into direct contact with the skin which can cause severe sun burn. They tend to explore any place that they find warmer therefore while outdoors it should be made sure that they are properly looked after because that need of theirs can get them into deep trouble. The Sphynx are very compassionate, loving, caring and demanding breed of cats. They like to have some activity going around them and they are very playful, they form bonds with people very quickly and easily they are very inviting and welcoming to even strangers, as they can go along very well with literally every one, which makes them vulnerable to ma<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-220" title="Sphynx3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Sphynx3.jpg" alt="Sphynx3" width="230" height="230" />ny threats therefore it is an indoor cat and even while outdoor they should be supervised. Sphynx travel very well they don’t bother that much which other cats do and they just simply sleep while traveling. They are hardly vocal though they do communicate in their own distinctive way when they want food or attention for some other purpose. They have a dog like attitude they hang around people, loves socializing, follow the owner from room to room and they are always fond of tipping over people. Sphynx are a family oriented cat they form bonds with every one they are also very friendly with other animals such as dogs. Having no hair doesn’t means that there is no hassle of maintenance their skin not always but sometimes gets oily therefore they should be frequently bathed. The Sphynx have an average life span of about 15-20 years but there have been instances where they have lived longer. They are very expensive because they are very rare they cost around $800 to $1500.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-336" style="margin: 5px;" title="Persian1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Persian1.jpg" alt="Persian1" width="308" height="233" />From the beginning, Persian cat breed is undeniable the favorite race of breeders and also the most represented in the exhibition. His name is not only an indirect indication of the origin of the breed. Indeed, alludes to one of her ancestors, Turkish Angora, which transmitted the gene responsible for his famous long hair. If we know that angora comes from the border area between Turkey and Iran, we  would better understand the &#8220;Persian&#8221;  name chosen to promote the breed that is  originated here.</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits.</strong></p>
<p>Persian cat is a medium-sized to large cat, which should facilitate  a perfect type cat. Thus, it is find a massive body, a broad chest, short limbs, with strong bones, feet round and pretty flat. The tail is proportional to body length, and mostly not thin. Cape is a cornerstone of what breeders call  it type. It is massive. The standard requires are a  round face, a wide jaw and a well developed chin. Numerous Persian today have more than one rectangular face round.<br />
The ears are in line with the body, meaning small, rounded, placed quite low and very far apart. The eyes are big, round <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-337" style="margin: 5px;" title="Persian2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Persian2.jpg" alt="Persian2" width="347" height="260" />and away.<br />
The nose is the detail that has caused most controversy lately. All standards require a short and wide nose, and a well marked stop. However, in the interpretation, American breeders have adopted an extreme attitude, some going to say that a pure  Persian breed cat should not have noses. Extreme version is, as it is noted, the variety of cat Pekingese over which the nose is almost nonexistent and there is so high concave area between the two eyes and nostrils situated on both sides of the snout.<br />
Besides typology, fur is a second important feature of Persian. It should be thick and long on the surface of the entire body: 10-20 cm on average, especially in the collar which covers the neck and chest. The hair on the tail should be very thick. Texture should be silky and very fine.</p>
<p><strong>Character and behavior.</strong></p>
<p>Persian cat is calm, very discreet. He likes physical inactivity and is well suited to apartment life. However the usual small Persian appreciate outdoor life, which behaves like any other cat of European type. In terms of reproduction is different from oriental Persian. Thus, later female puberty: on average 12 months. Pregnancy, generally of 3-4 kittens. It is important to note that t<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-338" style="margin: 5px;" title="Persian3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Persian3.jpg" alt="Persian3" width="300" height="264" />he breed is prone to difficulties during parturition, because of round, thick head of newborn kittens. Thus, death at birth is higher in Persian than in other races. It requires close supervision of exhibition parturition. Unlike other races  semi long hair and angora, Persian is a down longer, dense and fine. This feature is an important element of the aesthetics of the breed, but is also a big problem. Persian adult  should be brushed daily .</p>
<p><strong>Varieties </strong><br />
Persian belongs as British and oriental short hair, in those races that are found in the entire range of possible varieties. Recognition of new varieties, slow until 1970, has picked up more. International Federation of cats, which recognizes only 13 varieties in 1938 and about 23 in 1980, recognizes 150 ten years later .This evolution is rampant because the number of these variations result from the simple combination of  already known variations</p>

You are sad but it is very important to don’t panic.  Panic don’t help you in finding your pet.</p>
<p>First, you should go over surrounding neighbourhood and look for cat among bushes, in basements  and under cars. You can also ask for help children with neighbourhood. They are good observers. Great idea is  giving children chites with your address and promising small prizes.</p>
<p>If those ways don’t bring results it is necessary to use other methods. Print a lot of advertisements. Remember about  adding photo of your cat, annotation about prize, address and way to contact. It is better to put your telephone number and take your telephone everywhere.</p>
<p>What is important you should put advertisements everywhere:<br />
-    in surrounding staircases and advertisement posts<br />
-    in vegetable shops, groceries and zoological shops<br />
-    in animal hospitals<br />
-    on bus stations  (but it is illegal)</p>
<p>Chance of finding your cat increase with amount of advertisements. You should also visit shelters . You have to talk with vets. Maybe they know something. Remind children about your cat. Look for your cat in the evening, because is quiet. Look in basements, call and hear. Don’t resign. Most of histories have happy end.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-302" style="margin: 5px;" title="Manx3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Manx3.jpg" alt="Manx3" width="310" height="206" />The absence of  tail at Manx cats is a feature known for centuries and many stories circulate about their exact origin. Probably the oldest is the legend  of Noah, when the Ark door closed, the rush, took the cats  tail, leaving only a stump instead of a tail. Another legend tells of a cat with no tail which  stroll along the  boats of the Spanish Army  on the  Beach  of Isle of Man. In 1588.  There was no doubt that the island was very isolated to permit the perpetuation of the breed Manx cats. Manx cats with stumps instead of a tail is the result of genetic mutation suffered from breeding with the breed British Shorthair cats. This gene could be responsible for skeletal defects of these cats.</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits: </strong></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-305" title="Manx2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Manx21.jpg" alt="Manx2" width="281" height="220" /><br />
Manx cats resembles those of the British Shorthair breed, except the tail. The head is large, round and has prominent cheekbones. The muzzle and chin are firm and strong. The ears are located above the head and are slightly bent outwards. Are wider at the base and rounded on top. The eyes are large and round, and color is in tone to that of the coat. The body is compact and solid, with a broad chest and short back. The seat is rounded and should be higher than the shoulders. Limbs are short and strong ,back legs slightly longer than the front. Cats for exhibition must not have tails at all, and the seat should be fully rounded. At pet cats are allowed stubs of different lengths.</p>
<p><strong>Character and temperament: </strong><br />
<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-306" style="margin: 5px;" title="Manx1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Manx1.jpg" alt="Manx1" width="253" height="253" />Manx has a good nature and affectionate, loving to be affectionate. She is getting along very well with children and other animals, seemed to get along very well even with dogs. They are ideal pets, adapting easily to  the family life. Leading a very happy life like animals inside and make very little noise.<br />
Short fur  of  the breed Manx cats do not require excessive care, able to maintain his coat even single. Manx cat fur is a double acting, featuring two layers, one thick and short and one slightly longer than the other. The double coat is far more important than color or symbol on it. It is allowed any combination of colors and markings, except the Siamese pattern. Cats for exhibition are more than appreciated for the  coat texture , color or markings.<br />
<strong>Varieties.</strong></p>
<p>Today, in Europe  me meet two varieties: Rumpy Manx without tail and Stumpy Manx, who has a remnant of the tail, and  also in America me  meet three varieties: Riser, who owns several caudal vertebrae, Longy, which has a short tail and ailed with an almost norma tail.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-213" style="margin: 5px;" title="Ragdoll1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Ragdoll1.jpg" alt="Ragdoll1" width="235" height="242" />Passive, docile, laid back, chilled, relax and melts when handled you got it right that is the one and only Rag doll. Originating from California; very timid and low energy cat that goes well with literally every one, if it has been to be even a threatening stranger, due to their excessive friendly attitude. This is what breeders are working as how to make it able to stimulate the tendency to fight back where there is some sort of danger, that is why it is strictly recommended to be an indoor cat as they don’t actually know how to survive in an outdoor environment. Rag doll has a very chilled out attitude it just like sit back, rest and relax though they get active occasionally but most the time they just like to hang around their own space. They have no tendency to climb from one place to another they are more like floor dweller though it has a lot to do with their body structure where they have a large frame and proportionate legs on which a male carry around weight that it about 12-20 pounds and female around 8-15 pounds. They come in different colors mostly in 4 colors Chocolate, Seal, Blue and Lilac and 3 patterns Mitted, Color Spot, Bi-Color and 4 colors, when born they have pure <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-214" title="Ragdoll2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Ragdoll2.jpg" alt="Ragdoll2" width="261" height="194" />white hair and it takes almost 2 years for the final color to fully develop. One of the fascinating factor of Rag doll are their eyes they have a striking and heartening blue color that is simply breathtaking; it multiplies the charm of this breed of cat by 1000 times because of the sheer mesmerizing effect that it has.</p>
<p>They have a very elegant look to them and they look very fluffy and soft but they actually are like small teddy bears. Their tendency to go limp when handled is a very adoring factor as it simply submit itself when picked up and shows no temperame<img class="size-full wp-image-215 alignleft" style="margin: 5px;" title="Ragdoll3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Ragdoll3.jpg" alt="Ragdoll3" width="147" height="196" />nt at all, which makes it very suitable for children who tend to be gentle as it won’t even react incase if manhandled or mauled roughly which often happens when children handle any animal. They are very good travelers if they are trained or made used to the routine since the small age they are going to love the traveling then and can be very good companions. They are usually very quite and most of the time they like to rest and lay back and relax but occasionally they do get vocal so it makes them not completely mute but they are not that vocal either. They are get accustomed to other animals very well in fact they really like the company of other animals or another Rag doll though  it is not mandatory but they don’t mind it either, they have a special liking for dogs they go along so well with dogs. Rag dolls have semi long over coat and no under coat, only minimal shedding is witnessed and they don’t knot. Therefore very little grooming is required and occasional brushing, Rag dolls have an average life span of about 12-15 years and they cost about $700 to $1200.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-359" style="margin: 5px;" title="Burmese1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Burmese1.jpg" alt="Burmese1" width="265" height="237" />The cat &#8220;suspected&#8221; 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.</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits</strong></p>
<p>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 .</p>
<p><strong>Character and behavior:</strong></p>
<p>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 <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-360" style="margin: 5px;" title="Burmese2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Burmese2.jpg" alt="Burmese2" width="270" height="224" />same 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 &#8220;talkative&#8221; and therefore have no discomfort to &#8220;communicate&#8221; 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 &#8220;cat dog&#8221;. 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 wo<img class="size-full wp-image-361 alignleft" style="margin: 5px;" title="Burmese3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Burmese3.jpg" alt="Burmese3" width="277" height="208" />rd that is said, is very sensitive to the mood of the master.</p>
<p><strong>Varieties</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-274" style="margin: 5px;" title="burmilla1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/burmilla1.jpg" alt="burmilla1" width="252" height="261" />Burmilla 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.</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits</strong></p>
<p>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. Are arranged  in a manner that continues the angle of the face  and lean forward slightly. The eyes are well apart, full and expressive. Can be any color, from gold to green. The body is strong and muscular, with a strong back and straight. Members are of medium length and  at the back  they are slightly longer than the front. The paws are oval and the size is medium length, thinning slightly toward the top, which is rounded.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-275" style="margin: 5px;" title="burmilla-2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/burmilla-2.jpg" alt="burmilla-2" width="249" height="192" /></p>
<p><strong>Character and behavior: </strong></p>
<p>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.<br />
The Fur is short and the body  don’t  r<strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-276" style="margin: 5px;" title="burmilla3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/burmilla3.jpg" alt="burmilla3" width="216" height="194" /></strong>equire much care, though they  appreciate it if you pay attention in this way.</p>
<p><strong>Varieties</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><strong>History about cat in washing-machine</strong></p>
<p>It is  history with cat in a main role. Cat thought that opening washing-machine is a good place to sleep. Cat slept all night in the washing-machine, despite of fact that owner threw  dirty clothes there. In the morning owner’s son t<img class="size-medium wp-image-118 alignleft" style="border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px 10px;" title="kot01" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/kot01-300x225.jpg" alt="kot01" width="300" height="225" />urned on washing-machine. He set up program on the highest temperature. Suddenly mother heard desperately crying cat. He noticed what her son had done. He phoned to fire-brigade. He arrived after a few minutes, turned off washing-machine and opened it. Temperature of water was 30 degrees Celsius. Happily cat didn’t suffer, but just in case cat spent next day in banian-hospital. It is lesson for people that it is necessary to check if washing-machine is empty.</p>
<p><strong>History about cat, which like phoning.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-292" style="margin: 5px;" title="Norwegian Forest1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Norwegian-Forest1.jpg" alt="Norwegian Forest1" width="210" height="207" />This race is one of the latest cats in fashion, especially because  of the ad that is done, as that would be one of the largest breeds of cats in the world (even 20 kg). Is it? Its origin is controversial, certainly being  the fact that the work of selection and improvement of  Norwegian breeders, led to obtaining one of the most beautiful breed of  semi long cat hair , which was standardized in 1977.</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits.</strong></p>
<p>It is a race for an extraordinary suppleness, managing to keep balance in the most difficult situations .She is characterized by a triangular head, he looks round because  of the collar which is extremely small and obvious .The head has a long nose, relatively straight and free of stop. The ears  are wide and long, well apart from each other, the ends provided with tufts of hair. The eyes are large, expressive, open, lively and always very vigilant. The color of the eyes is in the same tone with the a<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-293" style="margin: 5px;" title="Norwegian Forest2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Norwegian-Forest2.jpg" alt="Norwegian Forest2" width="225" height="300" />nimal coat. The body is robust, but flexible, is supported by strong and resolute legs, the rear being longer than the front ones .The claws are long and very strong . The tail is appropriate, proportionate and very bushy.<br />
The hair covering the body surface is semi long, often composed of two types of different  hair, that provides the cat with a perfect barrier against bad weather .  No other breed of cats did not have a similar coat, which looks like, because the structure coat with a cape . It can also be observed the  remarkable development of the hairiness at  the hind limb, that it forms the so-called &#8220;trousers.&#8221; Color hair and eyes, moreover, may be variable, the only requirement being to harmonize with the coat color.</p>
<p><strong>Character and behavior .</strong></p>
<p>Highly intelligent breed, is simultaneously one of the most effective hunter . She is reserved around any unknown person, in turn,  she  shows more gentleness and attachment to its master. She likes to play, but she is the one that has  to run the hostilities and she doesn’t like to be constrained. She  likes to be caressed, <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-294" style="margin: 5px;" title="Norwegian Forest3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Norwegian-Forest3.jpg" alt="Norwegian Forest3" width="216" height="174" />but not excessive, she  has more personality and elegance, she had to be understood and sometimes whims are accepted.<br />
Accepts to live in the house, but it requires, if the term is not too demanding, to have freedom of movement in the apartment and eventually outside access, particularly where are  trees, where she prefer to relax. Once a week she needs  to be brushed or combed.</p>
<p><strong>Varieties.</strong></p>
<p>And within this race there are some varieties, which differ only by the color of the robe ,so we meet motley Norwegian, Norwegian merged with white spots and without white spots</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-175" style="margin: 5px;" title="AmericanBobtail1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/AmericanBobtail1.jpg" alt="AmericanBobtail1" width="218" height="187" />American 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.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-176" title="AmericanBobtail2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/AmericanBobtail2.jpg" alt="AmericanBobtail2" width="200" height="192" /></p>
<p>As the name indicates the most fascinating feature of this breed of cat is the thick &#8220;bobbed&#8221; tail which is about one-third or one-half the length of a normal cat&#8217;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&#8217;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 <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-177" style="margin: 5px;" title="AmericanBobtail3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/AmericanBobtail3.jpg" alt="AmericanBobtail3" width="248" height="276" />color and it eyes too but mainly yellow, green, gold and copper, blue in bi-color/van or odd-eyed in white.</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>Scottish fold cat first appeared as a natural mutation in Scotland in the &#8217;60s. Many veterinarians and competitions <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-381" style="margin: 5px;" title="Scottish Fold1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Scottish-Fold1.jpg" alt="Scottish Fold1" width="205" height="286" />juries decided that ears that cats are a strain and that will not allow the cat to develop good and not allow to the cat to clean his ears properly. Deformations of the spine,  backward  legs and the tail  appeared also when two cats of the same type were crossed. Therefore, the Board of the Association of cat lovers in the UK decided not to allow any registered breed Scottish Fold and now this race is not created or taken to exhibitions in Britain. However, creators of the breed continued to produce and to export to Europe and America, proving that it is possible to eliminate the problems of the column ,the legs,  the back and the tail, incorporating  cats with normal ears in the genetic reproducing surveillance. Scottish fold is now recognized on the American continent, where it is met in exhibitions.</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits</strong><br />
What distinguishes the race Scottish fold of other breeds of cats are the small ears and bent forward and down.

The nose is short and wide, rounded brush whiskers. The ears are small, with folds ear as close to the skull. The eyes are large and round, and it harmonizes with the color of their fur. Hair is medium length and is often soft. Members are of medium length and directly proportional to the body. The tail is wider at the base, thinning toward the rounded top.<br />
She needs to be fed 70-80 kcal / kg / day. Are prone to obesity, being recommended to  be carefully supervised on the  amount of  the food they eat. When two cats with the bent ears are crossed , the dominant genes that cause the bent of the ears it, can cause deformations of the spine, leg and back tail. Scottish Fold cats ears are difficult to clean the cat itself, so owners need to do this action from time to time. After the age of eight years is  recommended a routine check at the  veterinarian at least once a year for checking teeth and functioning liver and kidneys.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-383" style="margin: 5px;" title="Scottish Fold3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Scottish-Fold3.jpg" alt="Scottish Fold3" width="332" height="221" /></p>

It is an active medium breed cat, very affectionate with family members, and is very reserved towards foreign people. Do not like noisy places or unknown places. It is easy to adapt to apartment life. Get along well with children and other pets. Not noisy.

Originating from Thailand as the name indicates Saim now Thailand. Siamese were once the royal cats because they are very protective of their owners and this is the trait that is still alive in the genes of this breed of cat. They are very active and known for their this characteristic that they always want to do something and need someone around to play with and if they don’t have any companion to play with then they try to find companions or time pass in the things that are around the house.</p>
<p>They are very elegant where the slim look makes it more stylish but they are very flexible and well muscled. It has large ears which is more of a trademark of Siamese with a thin and long neck; just like the tail that is also very long but that adds more beauty to the over all structure of Siamese. Siamese come in different colors dark brown with black points (seal point), cool gray points (blue point), chocolate points and lilac point but at the time of birth they are either cream or pure white then later as Siamese grew they start to develop color and eventually after 2years it gets to the final color. Siamese eyes are almond shaped they <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-209" style="margin: 5px;" title="Siamese2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Siamese2.jpg" alt="Siamese2" width="238" height="233" />have either chartreuse, yellow, or gold colors but often then will end up with blue eyes that are intermediate in color between whitish blue and navy blue.</p>
<p>Siamese are very known and popular because of their playful and intelligent nature and the extra kick is provided by the talking that it do, it does communicate in its own distinctive way.  Either if Siamese want to seek attention or if they want to show their discomfort to something or maybe they want to demand for a certain thing they are likely going to explore the vocal mean they are very talkative and they are very vocal. They form bond with people or any other companion if its dog or some other animal very quickly and easily. They get attached to people but they often developing a liking for one person but they are also very family oriented, when every they sense any danger or threat approaching towards the owner they get into a protective <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-210" style="margin: 5px;" title="Siamese3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Siamese3.gif" alt="Siamese3" width="239" height="227" />mode so either jump into their lap or get closer in order to body guard the owner no matter how grave the danger is or the threat it is going to pose to its vary life but it don’t hesitate in defending the owner. Unlike other cats who often goes under the seat of the car while traveling it just simply enjoys the ride and don’t bother while traveling in the car. They need grooming because they shed and it is important to keep their ear and eyes clean, hand grooming is all it needs once a week is enough. Their average life span is between 18-20 years, they cost about $800 to $1100.</p>

During the evolution of new breeds, the kittens were chosen corresponding to the Persian standard, but they had a short and fluffy fur.<br />
Persian breed has great popularity, which is demonstrated where the group exhibitions of their feline is always most participants. But considering that today&#8217;s lifestyle becomes increasingly agitated, Exotic Shorthair increasingly gain more ground. Called &#8220;Persian in pijamas&#8221; or &#8220;lazy man Persian, Exotic Shorthair keep their temper calm and affectionate, but require much less care . Because of its beauty and qualities, has spread very quickly both the Americas and the European  continent.</p>

The tail is relatively short, but proportional to the length, is typical in this race to the body .The hair, whose length is 1-4 cm, which has, among other advantages, that of not becoming break. In addition, hair is soft , elastic and even silky. Excepting gold color and some less common varieties, colors allowed for this race are allowed to Persian breed.</p>
<p><strong>Character and behavior.</strong></p>
<p>Exotic cats are becoming more valued because of their affectionate, playful and intelligent side. It can say with much certainty, that this race is the future and will win in front of other breeds that are found in, very easy to accommodate .She accommodates very easy at life in an apartment, she is very clean and this brings  more satisfaction  to the owner.

But it remains a quiet cat that will not make giant leaps and somersault like other breeds with short hair. Also,  this cats are known as silent,  that’s why they  rarely meows.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>You see them in the movies in the plays. They are very popular breed and they are very expensive though <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-202" style="margin: 5px;" title="Himalayan1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Himalayan1.jpg" alt="Himalayan1" width="216" height="227" />but 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.</p>
<p>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 <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-203" style="margin: 5px;" title="Himalayan3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Himalayan3.jpg" alt="Himalayan3" width="283" height="195" />colors: 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.</p>
<p>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 <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-204" style="margin: 5px;" title="Himalayan2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Himalayan2.jpg" alt="Himalayan2" width="280" height="186" />there 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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>It is a good known fact that cats like playing with owner. We prepare some interesting plays which  we suggest to try:</p>
<p><strong>First play </strong></p>
<p>You should prepare different cardboard boxes. If box is in part closed and you put outside play such as artificial <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-108" title="bawisie" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/bawisie-300x225.jpg" alt="bawisie" width="300" height="225" />mouse or tape it will be activity for cat for a few hours. You can also make holes in box to make play more attractive. In box cat can hide itself, hunt and scrape. After play cat probably will sleep for long time.</p>
<p><strong>Second play </strong></p>
<p>You can also use a carrier bag. You have to remember about “cutting” ears. You should  observe  your cat, because cat can embrangle and suffocate. If you are nearly it is a really safety play.</p>
<p><strong>Third play</strong></p>
<p>A lot of cats like different type of cat scraper. It is higher and more varied it is better. Cats use it to climb, lie in the highest shelf and jump. If you place it near window it will be the good observation point for you. Cat scrapper you can buy in every zoological shop or make.</p>
<p><strong>Fourth play </strong></p>
<p>You can guarantee funny play when you use colorful  crewel. End of crewel knot in that cat couldn’t disentangle ball too fast. Cat with crewel can run and throw.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-197" style="margin: 5px;" title="CornishRex1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CornishRex1.jpg" alt="CornishRex1" width="243" height="183" />The 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.</p>
<p>Cornish rex only has undercoat they have fur that is curled <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-198" style="margin: 5px;" title="CornishRex2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CornishRex2.jpg" alt="CornishRex2" width="193" height="245" />the 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.</p>
<p>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 <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-199" style="margin: 5px;" title="CornishRex3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CornishRex3.jpg" alt="CornishRex3" width="279" height="214" />other 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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>When you first  see a  Raga Muffin cat  from a greater distance, you would be  surprised. You see a gorgeous cat, <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-376" style="margin: 5px;" title="Raga Muffin1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Raga-Muffin1.jpg" alt="Raga Muffin1" width="234" height="225" />massive, with large eyes and expressive, which  urge you to get closer. A sumptuous color and soft fur on the body of a considerable stature complete landscape. It is not known exactly what is the context in which Raga Muffin race appeared  and exact story will remain, most likely a mystery forever. Race Raga Muffin was accepted by CFA in February 2003.</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits</strong></p>
<p>Usually Raga Muffin is a tall cat, female touching a weight between 5 and 7.5 kilograms. Males weigh often between 7.5 and 10 kg. The bone structure is very solid. They completely matures at the age of  about 4 years and have a higher life expectancy. As a general rule, Raga Muffin are strong and healthy cats with no  specific breed  genetic health problems.</p>

<p>Cat breed  Raga Muffin personality is  one of  such kindness  taken to extremes, similar to the pet dogs. Each of these cats begs attention  and  is not unusual for them to expect their master  when he is  come back home  after  an absence of several hours, and will follow  the master from room to another, becoming his  faithful companion.  Are wonderful as a family animal, with so much affection to offer  to the family members, but  not only to the family but to other animals.<br />

It is sufficient to remove toys and will  become ready for action in a minute.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-230" style="margin: 5px;" title="RussBlue2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/RussBlue2.jpg" alt="RussBlue2" width="230" height="217" />This cat is a rare and precious. It is a natural breed, without being the result of man-directed selection. It is  said that  this cat would have been preferable for countries and Cossack warriors that  used to start the battle with restless cats with claws on their backs. The first information about the race from is from1860, when she arrived in the UK brought  by the ships arriving from the Russian port of Arkhangelsk, through the White Sea. World War II represents a period of stagnation in all breeds, the rare  ones being right on the point of extinction. Race is held in growth as an ascending Englishwoman, and since the &#8217;50s, a group of British and Scandinavian breeders try to save the race, calling the cross with twins blue point. In 1965  the results of the selection approaches to that of a standard before the First World War. In the U.S., the breed is registered with CFA in the early twentieth century until 1960 but rarely participated in exhibitions of cats</p>
<p>This race, by some authors, is based on the old cat Arkhangelsk, which was matted with blue conjoined twins and after a rigorous selection has managed to obtain a genetically, population , which was standardized in 1965.</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-231" style="margin: 5px;" title="RussianBlue1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/RussianBlue1.jpg" alt="RussianBlue1" width="230" height="180" /></strong></p>
<p>Medium-sized breed with short hair, is characterized by a rectangular head, long and relatively flat, wide forehead and fronted-nasal line is right, which form an evident angle. The ears are well distances between the base and slightly loose .They are sharp, transparent, fine and covered by fine thick hairs. The eyes are large, open, expressive, almond-shaped, ranging in color from glossy green to  emerald green. The neck is  well developed and connected to the head and torso.</p>
<p>The trunk is  long, well developed, balanced, covered by a compact muscle, it is supported by long  and strong limbs, and it  ends with hard and sharp claws. The tail is long, straight, smooth, and thins towards the terminal. The body is covered with short hair, often thin, and slightly elevated compared to the trunk, otherwise characteristic of the breed. Coat color is blue-gray, silver shot, focused mainly on animal movement.</p>
<p><strong>Character and conduct. </strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-232" style="margin: 5px;" title="RussBlue3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/RussBlue3.jpg" alt="RussBlue3" width="228" height="178" />It is one of the best cats for growth in small spaces because of the special qualities they have. It  is a calm pet, clean and very affectionate, living in total agreement with the owner .The cat, highly intelligent, guesses  from the eyes of her  master if she can make a particular action.</p>
<p>Very playful in his youth, with age, becomes  more quiet, dealing more with the daily toilet .She is a good companion not only for family members, but also for other animals, with whom agrees to share time and interests . It is particularly human company, but avoids too loud children, or who behave in a more brutal way.</p>
<p>It is  an extremely resistant animal to low temperatures, however she prefers to sit near a source of heat . Less squeamish, responds very well to a variety of food. It has great desire to eat and can be prone to obesity, so it would be good to be given carefully rations. Generally not a dainty cat. Like any breed with short hair,  the care  require special attention, but coat must be brushed regularly with a soft brush.</p>
<p><strong>Variety. </strong></p>
<p>Other varieties are not allowed, just the standard one</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>British shorthair cat that comes in variety of colors and the most fascinating factor in coloring is that it can <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-191" style="margin: 5px;" title="BritishShorthair1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BritishShorthair1.jpg" alt="BritishShorthair1" width="251" height="211" />be either a blend of two colors or simply one single color for the whole body. They are natural breed and they are crossbred with Persian Cats to improve the thickness of their coat which is the reason why they have dense coats of hair that are often described as crisp or cracking, which refers to the way the coat breaks over the cat&#8217;s body contours when ruffled. British Shorthair eyes are big round that comes in many colors primarily copper or gold eyes. British Shorthairs are large and muscular but they can carry around that weight easily and are cobby build that enables them to play around and do the usual cat activities.</p>
<p>British Blue is one variant and the grey color gives it the name though it has a tinge of blue therefore called British Blue; which one upon beholding the sheer sight of a cat clad in coat comprisi<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-192" style="margin: 5px;" title="BritishShorthair2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BritishShorthair2.JPG" alt="BritishShorthair2" width="257" height="171" />ng of a mix of grey color with slight blue ting take away the senses that enable one to structure sentences in order to explain the pure charisma that scene holds because its simply divine to watch that and that is what which makes it popular across the globe. 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 b<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-193" style="margin: 5px;" title="BritishShorthair3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BritishShorthair3.jpg" alt="BritishShorthair3" width="223" height="252" />ear though they don’t mind cuddling but they would love it a little petting on the back with the just resting on the ground.</p>
<p>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.</p>

Born from a spontaneous mutation of American short hair cat, cat breed is an American with coarse texture characterized by coat: wavy hair with the ends bent inwards or hook shaped. This mutation has occurred naturally during the pregnancy of an American short hair cat born in 1967 in New York. Solid cat, vigorous and full of life, American cat with coarse hair is then recognized by Cat Fanciers&#8217; Association and the American Livre Officiel des origines des  felines in France.

The standard gives the highest importance to this breed, to the hair quality and less to the other traits. The colors allowed for this American race with coarse hair are commo<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-253" style="margin: 5px;" title="wirehair3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/wirehair3.jpg" alt="wirehair3" width="196" height="270" />n with the American  short hair cat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>Do you want understand your cat’s behaviour ? For people who are cats owners for many years tips which are described below can be evident.</p>
<p><strong>Irritation</strong><br />

<p><strong>Murmuring </strong><br />
When cat murmur it shows that cat is glad. Some people think that it means that pet is healthy, but it is not truth. Also poisonous cats uttar sound like this.</p>
<p><strong>Rolling </strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-73" title="Kociak" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Kociak-300x225.jpg" alt="Kociak" width="300" height="225" /><br />
It is a natural behaviour, which is caused by sexual instinct.</p>
<p><strong>Fear and Defence</strong><br />
Defence behaviour are caused by people’s misbehavior. Almost always fear and defence are anxiety reactions in deadlock. First cat snort, then couch and attack.</p>
<p><strong>Escape</strong><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>Some people decide to have more than one cat in home.

- You have to provide living space for every cat which is separated from other cats<br />
-  Should be one  cuvette more than amount of cats. Cuvettes should be in different places in home.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-354" style="margin: 5px;" title="Devon Rex1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Devon-Rex1.jpg" alt="Devon Rex1" width="239" height="239" />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.</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits</strong></p>
<p>The first impression  that  a Devon Rex cat leave  is a mischievous  face with curly fur . Cheekbones are grade, large eyes and ear<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-355" style="margin: 5px;" title="Devon Rex2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Devon-Rex2.jpg" alt="Devon Rex2" width="248" height="336" />s 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.<br />
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.</p>
<p><strong>Character and be</strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-356" style="margin: 5px;" title="Devon Rex3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Devon-Rex3.jpg" alt="Devon Rex3" width="209" height="281" /><strong>ha</strong><strong>vior</strong></p>
<p>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 &#8220;dog&#8221;, 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.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-186" style="margin: 5px;" title="Birman1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Birman1.jpg" alt="Birman1" width="270" height="180" />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<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-187" style="margin: 5px;" title="Birman2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Birman2.jpg" alt="Birman2" width="229" height="191" /> 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.</p>
<p>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 <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-188" title="Birman3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Birman3.jpg" alt="Birman3" width="198" height="248" />breed is the voice; as it has a very sweet tone and soft vocals, which they often use when acquiring peoples attention.</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Black cats  bring bad luck or good lack</strong></p>
<p>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.<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-26" title="black_cat" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/black_cat1-277x300.jpg" alt="black_cat" width="277" height="300" /></p>
<p><strong>Cats like milk and have to drink it </strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Cats always get down on all fours</strong></p>
<p>Cats have a sense of equilibrium in the middle ear, which deliver data about  head position  to the brain. Right head position causes that cat get down on all fours. Probably you have heard different histories about falling cats, but remember that cats are not indestructible. Sometimes after accidents cats have inner injures, which you can’t notice, so take care about safety your cat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>American Curl breed is famous especially for his bent ears , which are the result of spontaneous mutations. Ears are <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-240" style="margin: 5px;" title="amcurl1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/amcurl1.jpg" alt="amcurl1" width="214" height="198" />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.<br />
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 &#8220;black but pleasant”.<br />
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.<br />
Inbreeding began in 1983. The st<strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-241" style="margin: 5px;" title="AmericanCurl2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/AmericanCurl2.jpg" alt="AmericanCurl2" width="222" height="294" /></strong>andard 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.</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits</strong></p>
<p>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&#8217;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.<br />
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.</p>
<p><strong>Character and behavior</strong><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-242" style="margin: 5px;" title="AmericanCurl3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/AmericanCurl3.jpg" alt="AmericanCurl3" width="198" height="222" /></p>
<p>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.<br />
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.</p>
<p><strong>Varieties</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>What do you think about it ? Do you want to have a colorful cat? Look for pi<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-5" title="kot2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/kot2.jpg" alt="kot2" width="164" height="205" />ctures 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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;t do it. Cats are beauty and don&#8217;t need it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>American Short-Hair Cat or American with short hair that descended from European cats were brought to the New <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-235" style="margin: 5px;" title="american-shorthair1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/american-shorthair1.jpg" alt="american-shorthair1" width="251" height="175" />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.<br />
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!</p>
<p>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 <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-236" style="margin: 5px;" title="american-shorthair2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/american-shorthair2.jpg" alt="american-shorthair2" width="198" height="202" />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 &#8220;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits.</strong></p>
<p>American Short-Hair looks at the  first sight with its  ancestor of which is distinguished primarily by a more robust <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-237" style="margin: 5px;" title="american_shorthair3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/american_shorthair3.jpg" alt="american_shorthair3" width="277" height="368" />format.<br />
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.<br />
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..</p>
<p><strong>Character and behavior.</strong></p>
<p>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..<br />
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.</p>
<p><strong>Varieties .</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>The name as it is showcases the sheer grace that it caries in its persona; the attraction and the beauty that<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-181" style="margin: 5px;" title="Balinese1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Balinese1.jpg" alt="Balinese1" width="204" height="210" /> it has earns it the name similar to Balinese Dancers that is why called Balinese. Though they are very similar in color and other feature to Siamese but they don’t inherit the hyper attitude which makes them very subtle and adaptive. They are very affectionate creatures and once they are in the house then the house doesn’t belong to you; they simply own it then. They go along with other animals very well especially suitable for those who have dogs at their house; they go along very well with dogs. It is developed with the cross breeding of Oriental Cat with Siamese. The longhair it inherits from oriental cat and the marking on its heads and ears comes from Siamese. Siamese are known for their hyper nature and their very talkative though Balinese have adopted that trait but as compared to their ancestors they are less talkative. They have tall legs and long body which makes them look very good; though they are not that big <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-182" style="margin: 5px;" title="Balinese2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Balinese2.JPG" alt="Balinese2" width="215" height="228" />in the diameter therefore it makes them very playful and active. Balinese are famous for their long, plume tail though there is a wide variety of traditional colors like blue, chocolate, lilac, seal and lynx. The maintenance of Balinese is very easy and its silky, single coat lying close to the body, with hair length of half inch to two inches does not requires frequent brushing but they love being brushed and the most astonishing factor is that they hardly shed in fact 90-95% not shedding.</p>
<p>Balinese are very family oriented they go along very well with the environment in the house and are very timid as they can be carried out to travel with you even If it’s a 10 hour long drive. They are very talkative; this is a trait very similar to Siamese in fact this is where Balinese inherited it from actually but they don’t have<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-183" style="margin: 5px;" title="Balinese3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Balinese3.jpg" alt="Balinese3" width="230" height="202" /> a sharp voice like Siamese have. They like to seek the attention of those who are often around them and this is a tool that Balinese always use to seek attention as they like some activity going around them because they are full of affection and are very loveable. They always like to hang around people and when they sense that you want to be alone for a while or you go to sleep they will wait for the moment when it can sit back onto your lap they are very active and alert as well they recognize people and in case of the arrival of any stranger or new person into the house they are going to make you aware of their presence. It costs $500 to $600 and can live up to 12-15 years. Almost no shedding, startling loyalty, dog like attitude and a plus of talkative feature makes it one of the sought out cat breed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-386" style="margin: 5px;" title="Oriental cat breed1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Oriental-cat-breed1.jpg" alt="Oriental cat breed1" width="245" height="174" />Oriental cat is actually a Siamese with different color fur and green eyes. The form and the temperament  are identical with the ones in Siamese cat . Oriental breed was created by crossing a breed of cats of  Siamese breed with cats from other breeds,  to produce different colors of Siamese. Black Siamese is one of the oldest types of cats but only in 1950 began to make efforts to change the color of the first race. Havana was the first Oriental cat champion who won the status of the exhibitions for cats.</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits: </strong></p>
<p>Oriental cats of breed standards are the same as for Siamese cats, regardless of color or type. They are medium sized cats, but appear to be more cumbersome than they actually are. In fact, Siamese and oriental short hair are practically the same race. Oriental short hair was created<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-387" style="margin: 5px;" title="Oriental cat breed2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Oriental-cat-breed2.jpg" alt="Oriental cat breed2" width="281" height="235" /> as desired characteristic  Siamese signs  distribution throughout the body. The first step in getting new breeds of cats were crossing twins in  one color  flexible specimens . The result came soon: a cat like Siamese, but  with no specific  Himalayan model. The head, of medium size, form a perfect equilateral triangle beginning at the nose and the ears, increased gradually, with straight lines, without hollow pear trees in the right touch. Profile is elongated and straight, slightly convex and without stop. The ears are large, broad based and distance.  She needs to be fed 80 kcal / kg / day. Under no circumstances, the Oriental cat should not be fat.<br />
Oriental cats have  specific breed health problems. An annual inspection is recommended, however, since the age of eight years for  checking liver and functioning kidneys, as well as for cleaner teeth.</p>
<p><strong>Character and temperament:</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-388" style="margin: 5px;" title="Oriental cat breed3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Oriental-cat-breed3.jpg" alt="Oriental cat breed3" width="200" height="192" />As Siamese ,the Oriental cats  are intelligent cats, curious ,who know how to make known their presence. They like to &#8220;talk&#8221; with their human companions and always expect a reply. They want to be part of the family and they love to play. Oriental Cats inherited from twins not only look, with the Siamese  but also  have their temperament. Like Siamese cats, the Oriental  are very &#8220;talkative&#8221;. Once you arrive home full of enthusiasm  you will be welcomed at the door and she  will tell you what she have done. If you are late and she  will argue with you, &#8220;saying&#8221; that she was  worry because  you were not given any phone. Eastern has a colorful personality. They are  very attached to people and want desperately to share life with them.<br />
Short and glossy coat Oriental cats do not require very much care, but it is better to grant them from time to time carefully, because this makes them very happy.</p>
<p><strong>Varieties.</strong></p>
<p>The most interesting thing to Oriental, besides their great personality, is that  they are known in over 300 different colors and designs. Shepherd sheds hair very little.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>This medium sized, short haired cat  and inquisitive eyes Australian Mist is developed by crossing of different <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-169" style="margin: 5px;" title="AustralianMist1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/AustralianMist1.jpg" alt="AustralianMist1" width="237" height="194" />breeds of cats which have different characteristics; that the developers wanted to induce into one package, that included the Burmese, Abyssinian and random Shorthair Domestic cats and eventually this genetic combo leads to the inheritance of certain features of laid back nature &amp; loving personality from Burmese; the intelligence and ticked coat from the Abyssinian and the genetic hardiness from the Domestic Shorthair cats.</p>
<p>As they have been inflicted genes of so friendly and active donors that it is perfect for any age group or environment as opposed to the extreme nature of other breeds; the crossing between different factions have resulted in the cancellation of these negative aspects or have either been minimized for <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-170" style="margin: 5px;" title="AustralianMist2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/AustralianMist2.jpg" alt="AustralianMist2" width="216" height="216" />instance Abyssinian; they are playful and they easily mingle with the residents of the house ranging from the very young children to adults as they are very calm relax and don’t scratch; which makes them safe for small children. But Aby’s hardly like to sit in the lap or stay put for a while but Australian Mist do that thanks to the genes that it got from Burmese which inculcated this trait in their personality one other thing which adds more attraction to this breed of cats; Australian Mist is their eyes, they are so eye-catching which simply takes one’s heart away they come in different shades of green which are breathtaking, where its cool, calm and relax demeanor multiplies the adorability of this creature.</p>
<p>They are very social and like to play, stay active and have fun even when they grow up; they don’t lose this spark in their personality, they do are friendly towards humans and likes more to hang around with them thanks to the genetics of Abyssinian but the presence of other animals also don’t bothers them. Their fur coat is short and dense this is where the genes of Burmese comes into play; which makes the maintenance easy for these cats as they only need to be brushed weekly. They eat a lot and they are prone to obesity therefore the food intake should be monitored and if the situation leads to obesity then properly regulation for the food intake must be exercised because that can badly effect the heal<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-171" style="margin: 5px;" title="AustralianMist3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/AustralianMist3.jpg" alt="AustralianMist3" width="338" height="225" />th of Australian Mist. They have strong teethes and they must be given something to chew onto.</p>
<p>One of the interesting aspect to the personality of Australian mist is that they respond to the human vocals or instructions and if they are properly trained they are likely going to understand some of the basic instruction used in daily life i.e. stand, sit, stop and come but they like dogs also like to fetch things !! This is very interesting and that is why they like to hang around teenage or grownup male because they like such activities. The average cat life among all the cat breeds is the same i.e. between 15-18 years. An Australian Mist can cost $350 to $400.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p>Bombay cat may look like a miniature black panther, but the cat is completely domesticated. A relatively rare breed,  <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-245" style="margin: 5px;" title="Bombay3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Bombay3.JPG" alt="Bombay3" width="246" height="334" />Bombay cat breeders  is very popular due to its external appearance and submissive personality. Black and insightful brown eyes, this breed combines the appearance and personality with  black color  American Burmese uniform short hair, the  black variety. Bombay Race is a creation of  Nikki Horner. Ascending and exhibits since the age of 16 years, Horner has paired awarded the American Shorthair cats, Burmese, Exotic, Himalayan, Persian and conjoined twins, to get a cat that has crowned his career. Around 1950, while her mate and American Burmese short hair black, put on a conception about Burma, with glossy black fur and brown eyes  insightful &#8211; a kind of miniature panther. As Horner imagined it would look like an Indian black leopard, she has called the cat after the city Bombay (now Mumbai). In India, black cat is considered to be good luck and wealth, contrary to European superstition under which it would be a sign of bad luck and brings misfortune.<br />
The breed is recognized by these associations and international organizations: American Association of Cat Enthusiasts (AACE) American Cat Association (ACA) American Cat Fancier&#8217;s Association (ACFA) Canadian Cat Association (CCA) Cat Fanciers&#8217; Association (CFA) as Fanciers &#8216;Federation (CFF), the National Cat Fanciers&#8217; Association (NCFA), The International Cat Association (TICA) United Feline Organization (UFO) and the Association of Romanian Cats (AFR). In Europe, the breed is recognized by independent clubs in Holland, France and Belgium.</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits</strong><br />
<img class="size-full wp-image-246 alignleft" style="margin: 5px;" title="Bombay2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Bombay2.jpeg" alt="Bombay2" width="259" height="198" />Bombay is famous for her fur which is like the skin and  brown eyes. Cat Bombay today is   medium size, bone and muscular, a cat that looks surprisingly robust for its size. The head has a nice round shape with sharp angles, the eyes well separated. The muzzle is broad and slightly rounded. The ears are rounded and well separated from each other. Eye color is from gold to copper shades. The tail is straight and medium length.<br />
There are two patterns conformational Bombay cat&#8217;s head, traditional and contemporary.  Traditional Bombay Cat  has a longer and narrower muzzle in comparison with the contemporary. Fur, is one of the most beautiful features of the race, is fine and makes good adhesion to the body, like a gloss varnish. Fur is short and silky and it  feels  like velvet .</p>
<p><strong>Character and behavior</strong><br />
Like the Burmese, Bombay cats require constant attention, following its master everywhere to o<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-248" style="margin: 5px;" title="bombay1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/bombay1.jpg" alt="bombay1" width="225" height="225" />btain it. Extremely sociable and affectionate, Bombay cats tend to love the whole family rather than to create a strong connection with only one person. Cat lovers say that these cats are, in particular, tolerant with children.<br />
Bombay cats have inherited traits from both races that led to their formation. Like the Burmese, Bombay cats are playful and intelligent. As American short hair, are temperamentally balanced and less talkative than  noisy Burmese. Bombay cat is not happy if  left alone for long periods, so it&#8217;s best to  got her a mate to keep her company.</p>
<p><strong>Varieties</strong></p>
<p>Only a variety of color and pattern is accepted &#8211; compact black. To maintain the desired type of fur, head and body conformation, Bombay cat breeders crosses with colored  samurai Burmese.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--CusAds1--><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-256" style="margin: 5px;" title="TurkishAngora1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/TurkishAngora1.jpg" alt="TurkishAngora1" width="208" height="238" />Origin of this breed is not yet safe, even if  legal documents were found for a very long time .At one moment this cat  almost disappeared from our continent, the right for  this breed accounting for Americans and English people. Turkish Angora is a breed with long hair, important in terms of historical study ,because it is considered that this cat has sent the current character of most semi long or long hair breeds and particularly Persians. Turkish Angora was first discovered in the Middle East between Turkey and Iran and Pietro della Valle  brought the first copies in Italy in the XVII century. Angora name refers to the Turkish capital Ankara. This name has become synonymous with quality hair, specific to other species (Angora goat or Angora rabbit).</p>
<p><strong>Morphological traits.</strong></p>
<p>One of the most beautiful cats with long hair, Turkish Angora  is gaining  more followers than ever, because of her qualities and attributes .Distinguished  and elegant through its movements, giving the impression that it is prepared to pose. She is characterized by less than round  and narrow head compared with the Persians, which possibly could be confused, with well-proportioned ears, distant and sharpened  peaks. The eyes  are large, well open, expressive, bright and blue, but other shades of color can be admitted.</p>
<p>The body is robust, well dressed in muscles with lengthiness slightly superior  to the Persian, supported by short limbs, but robust. The tail is long and thin, well dressed in hair .The body is covered with fine, dense and silky hair, more <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-257" title="TurkishAngora2" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/TurkishAngora2.jpg" alt="TurkishAngora2" width="259" height="238" />abundant around the neck , abdomen and the tail.</p>
<p>Changing the  hair is an extremely interesting phenomenon and the re growth  is more abundant at the beginning of the cold season. The color is white but other colors are allowed, and the beauty of these cats do not fall with nothing.</p>
<p><strong>Character and behavior.</strong></p>
<p>Gentle race, affectionate, quiet and smart, alongside exterior traits, is being increasingly appreciated and noticed. She  is distinguished by her  temperament, and she prefers playing instead of resting, even at an advanced age .She prefers cozy spaces and she is content to stay in areas with soft environment, than to go outside in the yard or garden. Is  still a <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-258" style="margin: 5px;" title="TurkishAngora3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/TurkishAngora3.jpg" alt="TurkishAngora3" width="201" height="247" />sensitive animal and requires care. First it is good to avoid bathing and daily brushing is strictly necessary  a few minutes to keep the robe in appropriate circumstances.</p>
<p><strong>Varieties</strong></p>
<p>The color of this breed of Angora cats  is black, blue, beige, etc..<br />

The impression that Abyssinian aka Aby convey in sheer oblivion while in its standing state that the lithe and grace with long slim legs overwhelms one with a magical spell that it seems that it’s on tiptoes.</p>
<p>Though the name reminds of Ethiopia because of Abyssinia but the genetics of this cat breed shows that its origin lies back in coast of Indian Ocean. But to the contrary of these all most of the famous things said about this cat relates it to the Egypt because of the bronzes, paintings and the agouti coated cats found buried in the tombs of the Pyramids of <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-164" style="margin: 5px;" title="Abyssinian3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Abyssinian3.jpg" alt="Abyssinian3" width="220" height="251" />Egypt. It is the most popular breed of cat with shorthair with slender legs fairly long tail, broad at the base and tapering to a point which you would often see it trying to catch while turning round and round with face towards the tail. It has almond shaped eyes that come in different colors gold, green, hazel or copper. The most astonishing factor regarding its physique is the “M” that is formed on its forehead it is called the frown lines and they are affectionately called Mascara Lines as well. Another factor which distinguishes it makes it the favorite is the Tickling fur that is layered by color; as we take different strands from different places it reveals that they all have different colors. The colors in the Abyssinian breed have been developed from its original form; they are Sorrel (yellowish, brown), Blue Abyssinians (beige base with blue ticking), Fawn Abyssinians light (light-cream base color with darker cream ticking) and Ruddy.</p>
<p>Aby are very active and they are darling of the family and they just want their share in every activity, Aby will help you if you are even dialing your phone, read the newspaper with you and even ready your bed; they quickly form bonds with humans and once made then it is the best companion you’ve ever had as it protects you even if it senses some danger coming to you let alone playing with <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-165" style="margin: 5px;" title="Abyssinian1" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Abyssinian1.jpg" alt="Abyssinian1" width="176" height="180" />you all the time or greeting you when you come back to home and the pleasantries to finish even some times take 10-15 minutes. They are no way lap cats they are extrovert, active and playful; all they need is activity, therefore they are best considered for kids to play with as they don’t even need a lot of maintenance requiring only occasional combing of the coat to reduce hairballs and diet should include something they can chew to help clean teeth and gums (such as raw chicken necks). Most of the cats live the same average age that is between 15-18 years that equal to the human life of 97 years. They usually cost $200 to $400 and the expensive ones can cost up to $900.</p>

It seems that the cat was brought to Brazil by the  European colonists. This race is not yet formally recognized by all organizations who accredit a breed profile, its recognition of the fact came when the Brazilian Cat  Federation  realized that there must be a cat breed originating in Brazil. Thus, the Brazilians began to compare and inspect the cats of the streets, and noted that all look the same way and have the same characteristics. Thus was born the breed of cat with short hair Brazilian, but there are other breeds of cats found on the street, such as American, Celtic and European and American short hair Keuda.<br />
Although somewhat recognized as race, Brazilian cat has stirred much controversy in the world of professional breeders of cats. However, short-haired Brazilian is now considered a pure breed cat,  the cat crossing the stage of a street cat on .

There are many aspects that make these cats special. For example, the space between the eyes is equal to the size of the eye, and the  eyes, very expressive, moreover, are usually the same color as the fur.<br />
The tail is medium length and is pointing to the top. Males can be easily distinguished from females because they have larger heads. Ideal is that after the age of 6-8 years, even if you have a healthy specimen, give him a routine check and several investigations (ultrasound, X-rays, blood tests and urine) to detect potential problems early and to try to remedy them through proper nutrition or with appropriate treatment.</p>
<p><strong>Character and beha</strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-399" style="margin: 5px;" title="Brazilian Shorthair3" src="http://www.thecatsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Brazilian-Shorthair3.jpg" alt="Brazilian Shorthair3" width="211" height="262" /><strong>vior</strong></p>
<p>From &#8220;street cat&#8221; she  became a  pedigreed cat. This is the short haired Brazilian (Brazilian Shorthair), a medium-sized cat with expressive eyes and playful.<br />
