Animal shelter – help or adjudication?

Monday, November 9th, 2009

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.kot10

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.

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.

Children and cats

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

If  you have  small children you have to explain them that cat is not a play and can it shows. Contact between child and cat is differdziecko2ent 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.

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.

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.

Friendship between child and cat can last for many years and for young person can b
important experience.

Is it necessary to bath a cat ?

Monday, October 26th, 2009

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:kotkapiel

• Taking care about longhaired cat -  especially if you prepare your cat  on exhibitions
• When fur of your cat is covered by substances, which could not be removed by your cat
• Disease like tinea and parasites
• Owner’s allergy
• Rehabilitation in water after complex
• Cald bath when your cat has burn or heatstroke

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.

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.

Hearing and seeing of a cat

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Seeing

Cat is able to see in the night six times better then a human. Their range of seeing is definitely higher then human one dwakotyand 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.

Hearing

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.

Cat’s eyes.

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Have you ever considered why the cat’s eyes shines in the dark?
oczy2
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.

The cats may have eyes in one of the three basic shapes:
•    round
•    inclined
•    almand-shaped

Theirs colours are usually green, gold and rarely blue. They may occur in many different
tones.

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.oczy

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.

Kurilian Bobtail breed – love to be spoiled

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Kurilian Bobtail1Top 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 “endowed” 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.
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.

Ocicat1Ocicat 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′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.

Singapura breed love people

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

As the name suggests, Singapura is from Singapore, place where ancestors of this breed had a reputation for cats Singapura1“channel”, 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.

Morphological traits:

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 Singapura2amber, but cannot predict what color will the eyes kitten when it will reach maturity. On the forehead is painted sign “M”, 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.

Character and behavior:

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 iSingapura3s 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 “yell” like her  Asian sister , but rather stuttering, allowing the owner to sleep peacefully at night. “Vocabulary” 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.

Varieties

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 – creamy white, and ivory.

Sphynx breed is a result of mutation.

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

It is a result of the mutation that occurred when a hairless cat was discovered in the litter of normal kittens.Sphynx1 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 effecSphynx2tively try to get their share of work or try to find area where they can lend some help.

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 maSphynx3ny 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.

Persian is a very calm breed.

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Persian1From 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 “Persian”  name chosen to promote the breed that is  originated here.

Morphological traits.

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.
The ears are in line with the body, meaning small, rounded, placed quite low and very far apart. The eyes are big, round Persian2and away.
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.
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.

Character and behavior.

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 tPersian3he 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 .

Varieties
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

Burmese breed requires attention from people

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

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

Morphological traits

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

Character and behavior:

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

Varieties

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

American Bobtail breed with small tail.

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

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

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

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