Interesting plays for your cat.

Monday, September 14th, 2009

It is a good known fact that cats like playing with owner. We prepare some interesting plays which  we suggest to try:

First play

You should prepare different cardboard boxes. If box is in part closed and you put outside play such as artificial bawisiemouse 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.

Second play

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.

Third play

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.

Fourth play

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.

Painting cats is a new trend.

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

kot1

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

What do you think about it ? Do you want to have a colorful cat? Look for pikot2ctures and think about it.  In my opinion, people who treat animals in this way, don’t have the heart. Painting cats should be forbidden and penalty should be high. People can paint picture, but why animals? I couldn’t understand it.   Cats are not a things, but  living being.

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

American Shorthair – breed of very healthy cats.

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

American Short-Hair Cat or American with short hair that descended from European cats were brought to the New american-shorthair1World by immigrants, after the conquest of the  “saint” earth  and selected  in the new conditions to obtain the current form. The beauty and loving nature of these cats came to be widely appreciated, as well as their ability to catch rats.
A cat belonging to this breed came to be offered for sale at the second annual exhibition at Madison Square Garden, in 1896, for fabulous sum of 2,500 dollars!

In the early twentieth century, the U.S. imported foreign breeds (breeds with long hair),which were crossed with native cats with short hair, producing kittens with different types of fur, colors and temperaments. Those who wanted to keep North American cats with short hair have acquired the best examples of the breed, which they began to selectively mate them, to keep american-shorthair2their conformation, temperament and expressive figure, American Shorthair, as we know it today. FCA recognized the breed in 1906, being one of the first five races recorded in this Association. Known originally as “short-haired domestic cat, the breed was renamed in 1966, receiving the name of American Shorthair, that suggests more than its specific character and which distinguish American from all other breeds with short hair. This name emphasizes, at the same time, the idea that North American cat with short hair is clearly different from specimens that are found on the street.

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

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

Morphological traits.

American Short-Hair looks at the  first sight with its  ancestor of which is distinguished primarily by a more robust american_shorthair3format.
The breed is characterized by proportioned developed  triangular head, large enough, with good ears forward and their rounded shape tips .The width is equal to the  base . The eyes are  well developed, large and expressive, in harmony with the color of the coat.
Body, medium-sized, well dressed in muscles, supported on the limbs relatively long, but strong. The chest is broad, well-dressed in muscle, long neck and well supported .The tail a bit long, thins at the base. The hair covering the body is short, thick and often with fine medium, but bright and slightly away from the body .The colors are many and of which we can mention: white, black, gray-blue, beige, red, tabby, cameo etc..

Character and behavior.

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

Varieties .

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

Balinese breed is known for long tail.

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

The name as it is showcases the sheer grace that it caries in its persona; the attraction and the beauty thatBalinese1 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 Balinese2in 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.

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 haveBalinese3 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.
