15 Breeds of cats and their personality


With the exception of a few true cat fanciers, Americans have traditionally been less particular about the bloodlines of their cats than of their dogs. Cats were most commonly seen on farms and they worked to help keep down the vermin population. As cats have become more of a companion than a farm-hand there has been a steadily increasing interest in cat breeds, their purity, and pedigree . The Cat Fanciers' Association is dedicated to the preservation of the purebred and recognizes 39 pedigreed cat breeds. Listed below are 15 of these breeds along with some information about the breed's characteristics and history.

1. Russian Blue - The Russian Blue is a gentle, friendly cat with a distinct appearance. These cats have dense, thick, short coats that come in one color: blue. In contract to the blue fur the cats have bright green eyes and are known equally for their beautiful appearance as they are for their unassuming dispositions.

2. Ragdoll - The Ragdoll is a large cat that has been bred to be affectionate and people oriented. They love to play and some have been taught to come when called. The Ragdoll has a medium length coat that lacks an under coat which makes maintenance of the cat easier than many other long-hairs. Ragdolls are easy to live with and fit well into the lives most families.

3. Cornish Rex - Although the Cornish Rex looks similar to images of ancient Egyptian cats it originated in Cornwall, England in 1950 where it was discovered in a littler of barn cats. These cats are distinct in appearance with an egg shaped and sized head, huge, erect ears, and enormous green-yellow eyes. This cat has an extremely unusual coat that is soft, fine, very short, and grows in waves. The Cornish Rex is affectionate, playful, and retains its kitten like antics throughout its lifetime.

4. Siamese -The Siamese cat, originally from Thailand, is an acutely intelligent and inquisitive animal. It is thought to be the oldest of all domestic. The Siamese is a people lover. He will regularly tell his family how much he cares for them with his loud meows.

5. Main Coon - The Main Coon Cat is a large, native-American long-haired cat. It is revered in Main for its mousing talents. The Main Coon is a social animal that is particularly good for families with children or dogs.

6. Abyssinian -Although the name suggests that this cat is from Ethiopia (formerly Abyssinia), they are actually from India. The name "Abyssinian" came about when the cat was initially brought to England by way of Abyssinia. Abys are one of the most intelligent cats and although they are not "cuddly" they love their people, are inquisitive, and want to help you with whatever you're working on.

7. American Bobtail - The American Bobtail looks startlingly similar to a wild Bobcat. It has a dense coat, a stocky build, and a naturally occurring bobbed tail. American Bobtails are noted for their "dog-like" personalities and their devotion to their families. American Bobtails have been used as therapy cats in treatment programs because they have been found to be very well-behaved and sensitive to people in distress.

8. Ocicat - Originating in Michigan in 1964 the Ocicat is a mix of Abyssinian, Siamese and American Shorthair. It is the only spotted domestic breed selectively bred to emulate the cats of the wild. Although the Ocicat has an exotic and wild appearance its personality is very domestic and well suited for life with a family.

9. American Wirehair - The American Wirehair was first seen in upstate New York in 1966. The lone cat was a spontaneous mutation in a litter of barn cats. Healthy, genetic mutation is a relatively common occurrence but the difference with the American Wirehair is that because his characteristics were so unique an organized effort was made to retain his bloodline and genetic pattern. Interestingly, this genetic mutations has not appeared anywhere in the world other than the United States. The American Wirehair's temperament is docile and calm and a great pet for a so-called "couch-potato".

10. Persian - Persians are documented in hieroglyphic paintings dating back to 1684 B.C. They are the most popular of the pure bred cats and come in many colors that are divided into seven color divisions. One of the seven color divisions is referred to as Himalayan. Himalayans are the most common of the Persians and are often inaccurately thought to be (by those outside of the true cat-fanciers group) a unique breed. Persians are sweet and require a stable living environment with consistent routines. The Persian coat requires significant maintenance including daily brushing and frequent baths. To avoid unpleasant outcomes, this routine should be established when the cat is very young.

11. Bombay - In 1953 Nikki Horner, from Louisville, Kentucky set-out to develop a new breed of cats whose appearance was similar to the black panther of India. She bred a sable Burmese with a black-coated, copper-eyed American Shorthair. Over time she consistently bred a solid colored black cat unique from all other cat breeds. The Bombay, named in tribute to the Indian black -panther, was introduced to the Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) in 1976. The Bombay is an athletic, outgoing, and affectionate cat that has been known to be leash trained. They make terrific family pets.

12. American Shorthair - The American Shorthair originated from cats that were brought over on the Mayflower to rid the ship of mice. These cats were likely British Shorthairs and although they can be similar in appearance to the mixed-breed domestic cat, American Shorthairs are a unique genetic breed. According the Cat Fanciers Association, the difference between a domestic cross bred cat and an American Shorthair is that, "a pedigreed cat can consistently produce kittens of the same physical conformation, coat quality, and temperament, while a random-bred cat cannot. Years of selective breeding and the careful recording of many generations of cats guarantee that each litter of kittens will have specific qualities. American Shorthairs are playful companions for the entire family.

13. Somali - At first glance the Somali cat looks like a feral or wild cat. It resembles a fox in its color and movement. Its looks are deceiving because the Somali is a sweet, quiet natured cat with an intelligent and social disposition. Because it is slightly larger than many other purebreds, the Somali is great for families with small children.

14. Exotic - Exotics are sometimes affectionately referred to as the lazy man's Persian. They are bred to match every standard of the Persian except one: coat length. Exotics have short, thick hair that does not mat or tangle. They are wonderful pets for people that love the Persian breed but don't have the time or discipline required to maintain a Persian's coat.

15. Siberian - There is little known about the Siberian other than that the earliest documentation of the cat dates back 1000 years. Because there is so little documentation about Siberians it's difficult to know the true standards of the breed. The first Siberian was brought to the United States in 1990 and despite the cats instant popularity they are still extremely rare in the U.S. Siberians come in a wide range of colors and have a medium length, dense coat. Siberians are extremely friendly and behave similarly in temperament to many of the terrier dog breeds. Additionally, there is evidence that Siberians cause fewer reactions in many cat allergy sufferers. Siberians were recognized by the CFA in 2000.

What Are the Most Popular Cat Breeds?


Did you know that the Cat Fancier's Association of America (CFA) recognizes 41 cat breeds? Usually when people talk about breeds, they're normally talking about dogs. Most people don't recognize how many different cat breeds there are, and are usually stunned to find out how many there are.

Currently the CFA officially recognizes 40 cats. Currently the Ragamuffin cat is only recognize with provisional status. This is the last step before this breed becomes officially recognized which will bring the total up to 41.

Currently the top 10 cat breeds listed in order are Persians, Maine Coons, Exotic, Siamese, Abyssinian, Ragdoll, Birman, American shorthair, Oriental, and the Sphynx.

The largest domestic breed is the Maine Coon cat, which did originate from Maine. Some males of the breed can weigh up to 25 pounds. The smallest cat is the Singapura, which is from Singapore. These cats rarely weigh more than 8 pounds.

Not all popular breeds are approved by the CFA. Some of these breeds include the Bengal, California Spangled Cat, Himalayan, Cymric, and the Nebelung.

The reason the CFA doesn't recognize some of these cats is that some of them incorporate wild animals into their breeding, or the breed has not been developed enough, or the breed association has not approach the CFA about officially recognizing them.

While Persians are the number one pedigreed breed, the most popular cats are actually domestic shorthaired cats. But the reason that these cats are not recognized, is that they are essentially of mixed stock and not purebreds. Domestic shorthaired cats are probably owned by the majority of people out there.

10 Cat Breeds & Their Personalities


As anyone who has owned more than one cat can attest, not all cats are created equal. Just as is the case with dogs, the looks, personalities and other traits can vary greatly from breed to breed. If you plan to buy a cat from a reputable breeder, it is a good idea to do some research so that you can select a cat whose personality will best match what you'd like in a pet.

Below are 10 cat breeds along with some of their personality traits.

Abyssinian

These easy to groom cats are very social. They do best in homes where there will be a lot of companionship. This can be human companionship or that of other cats. Abyssinians are very loving and active. This breed is one that will be happy to play with their human caretakers.

Bengal

Bengals, which have gained popularity in the last several years, have the personalities of domestic cats with a few glimpses into the wild side of their heritage. These cats are very vocal, and will not hesitate to "tell" you if they are not happy about something. They have a very high energy level and love to explore their surroundings.

Birman

The outgoing cats are well-known for the affection that they show their owners. This breed has been featured in cat shows since 1925. They are playful, but do not have the abundance of energy that some other breeds possess.

Exotic Shorthair

This breed is gentle and curious. It loves to investigate each nook and cranny in its environment, but will also, at times, be content to snuggle lazily in their owners lap.

Pixie-Bob

This breed is considered a good choice if you have children or if the cat will have to share the home with canine companions. Considered one of the most intelligent cat breeds, Pixie-Bobs can be trained and love spending time interacting their humans. They generally get along very well with every member of the household, including the two-legged and the four-legged kind.

Scottish Fold

While most cats have the reputation of being demanding, this is not true of the Scottish Fold. While the cats are sweet and loyal to their owners, they are happy to spend their days being about their own business.

Munchkin

For owners who want a cat that loves to curl up on their lap and snuggle, the Munchkin is a good option. This cat tends to be more affectionate than some other breeds. They typically do fine with other animals and, for this reason, are also a good choice if you have other cats or dogs in the home.

American Wirehair

These cats, which sport a unique, springy coat, are among the most people-oriented of the cat breeds. These cats require a home in which they will receive a good amount of attention and playtime from their owners. They will come to you if you don't go to them and will have no problem doing whatever it takes to get your attention.

Siberian

These cats, which require a fair amount of grooming, enjoy spending time with other cats but also require human attention. This breed displays less of the hyperactivity that some others breeds are known for and tends to be generally calm.

Ragdoll

These cats were given the name Ragdoll because of the degree to which they love to relax and take naps. They love sharing their home with other Ragdolls and often nap one of top of the other. These cats get along well with other cats and dogs and can tolerate children. They need some attention from their owner, which they look for in between naps.

Discover The Amazing And Exotic Cat Breeds On This Planet That Your Grandfather Never Heard Of


It may amaze you, as it has amazed me, that there are many different "genetically tinkered" cat breeds today. Never would my grandfather, in his day, imagine that there will be so many different cat breeds because man decided to make them so. Today we have the hairless and non-shedding cat breeds as well as the better known Persian, Siamese, Calico bread, etc. But before we condemn the scientists for playing God, we should also realize that some of these new breeds of cats are actually stronger and healthier and do not carry the troublesome character traits of "traditional cats".

At the present moment, we have so many cat breeds that we need a cat registrar to keep track of them. In North America, we can find breeds with long tail or long fur. Some of the most interesting breeds include the Allet Cat, the long furred Persian Cat, the Siamese Cat and even the wild cats. Some of these cats have very bad temperament while others are more subdued and loving. But all in all, cats tend to be cool towards people, unlike the friendly dog. So if you want to buy a cat, make it it suits your own temperament!

Here are some interesting historical snippets of cat breeds the world over:

i) One of the earliest pets in the world was a cat. In ancient Egypt, Pharoahs and even ordinary folk used cats for protection and companionship. Even in today's high tech world, the cat symbol remains a popular choice. Examples are the Japanese Hello Kitty, Doreamon and of course, Garfield the fat cat.

ii) The Japanese Bobtail is already extinct. It existed in Jesus's time but in the land of the rising sun, Japan. Little is known of this exotic breed except that it has a bobtail and lived over a thousand years ago.

iii) The notorious "Alley cat" simply refers to the many homeless cats of all kinds of breeds. They are not unique to America as alley cats can be found anywhere in the world - they basically lived in alleys. Many of these cats are homeless and uncared for because of overbreeding. In many countries, these poor cats are "put to sleep", or culled, because they carry diseases and are a threat to public health.

iv) The Siamese cat, as the name suggest, came from Siam, the ancient name for Thailand. Siamese cats are beautiful furry creatures anyone would like to cuddle. Unlike Siamese twins, these cats don't come joined together.

Is you want to own a cat, be sure that you know how to breed it and take care of it properly. A cat, or any other pet for that matter, is also a living being and should be cared for like a child. Treat your cat like your baby and it will return your affection like a baby

Different Type of Guinea Pig Breeds and Colors


Guinea pigs, also known as cavy, are species of rodents originated in Andes, a mountain Range in South America. How it ends up being called a Guinea pig when it's not even a pig nor is it from Guinea, is still a big question.

"Cavies" are docile in nature; they are a social animal and they rarely bite even when they are tense. Their receptiveness to handling and feeding, and the relative ease of caring for them, makes them a popular pet.

Domesticated cavies come in various breeds, which have been developed since their introduction to Europe and North America. Since their introduction to the United States and Europe, developing new guinea pig breeds gears toward development of attractive and appealing pet.

Here are some common breeds:

The American or formerly known as English cavy is the most popular, they are also the oldest breed of Guinea Pig. The good thing about this Cavy because of its short and glossy coat its low maintenance. It's also easy to handle because of its tame personality.

The Abyssinian cavy has a very distinctive appearance. Its coat is multiple swirls of hair referred to as cow licked rosettes. The ideal Abyssinian has 10 rosettes, one on each shoulder, four across its back, one on each of the animal's hips, and two on the rump.

The Peruvian breed has a smooth and straight coat that grows to several inches in length. These type of guinea pig breeds requires a lot of grooming because of its long hair, which makes it harder to take care of. The Himalayan cavy originates in Southeast Asia and is similar to the Siamese cat in coat. Himalayans' coat darkens depending on the temperature.

A Silkie or Sheltie has a silky and very long coat that smoothly flows back over its body and never forward over the face (as in the Peruvian). Compared to the well-known Peruvian, the Silkie's soft coat fails to part, at least naturally, along the back. The hair continues to grow backwards from the head. The Sheltie is normally expected to have a fairly longer sweep of hair in the back. The Teddy is a short-haired cavy characterized by a short dense coat with bent (kinked) hair streak that makes the coat stand on end, giving a very fuzzy look.

There are also a range of color varieties of cavies, aside from the typical guinea pig breeds. The familiar colors are the following:

Self: This cavy only has one color, so it can be completely black or white or any other color. This is one of the most common colors for cavies. An all-black color guinea pig is called self-black.

Agouti: Alternate dark and light bands of color on each hair; the hair roots color is different from the tip. Usually, this type of color is found in short-coated guinea pigs.

Solid: This is almost like the Agoutis, but its belly is marked as well.

Burmese cats-American and European races


Burmese cats are compact and muscular, with medium-length legs and tail and a short jacket, thin, bright. The American race has a more rounded shape, while the European race is more angular. The original temple Burmese cats came from Siam. In early 1900, the Americans began their own version known as the American Burmese playlist. The European race began in England after 1945, when returning from Burma led Burmese cats home.

Characteristics

Burmese means: luck, beautiful and splendid appearance in Thai language.

In 1871, a pair of Siamese cats was displayed at a cat show held at the Crystal Palace. These cats closely resembled the American Burmese cats but had the features Siamese markings. The first Burmese cats in England were considered Chocolate Siamese, then in 1955, the first blue Burmese was born, followed by red, cream and kittens tortoise in the next decade.

Hairless Cat Breeds


When people hear the term "hairless cat breeds," they tend to think that the cat is completely bald. This is not true as this type of cat actually has a coat of fine down hair that covers its body.

Even though these cats have less hair than other types of cats, it does not mean that it is a hypoallergenic cat breed. People are allergic to a protein that is present in the saliva of a cat and not the actual hair.

One of the most well known hairless cats is the Sphynx. In Toronto in 1963 a litter of kittens were discovered that had been born without hair. A breeding program was started with these kittens but was discontinued in the late 1970's. In 1978 the last breeding pair was sent to Holland but they did not produce any litters. Kittens that were born without hair due to natural mutations were bred to the Devon Rex - a cat with almost no hair. This established a new interest in the Sphynx and today this different cat breed is recognized for shows by cat fanciers worldwide.

Another of these strange looking cats is the Peterbald cat breed that has the elegant look of the Siamese but without the hair. The coat of this cat is divided into two groups: bald and hairy. A kitten that falls into the bald category is born without any hair, whiskers and eyebrows and stays like this throughout its entire life.

These cats require special care and grooming. Ideally, they should be kept as indoor cats. If allowed to go outside, an animal-friendly sunscreen has to be applied to prevent sunburn.

In the cold winter months, they have to be protected against the cold. This can be done by providing fur-lined baskets and tunnels or by dressing the cat in a soft coat.

This is one cat breed that actually requires a bath. As there is no hair to absorb skin oils, the skin will be greasy to the touch and breeders recommend a bath twice a week to keep the skin in good condition. When bathing this type of cat, use only a veterinary quality product (never human shampoo!) and make sure that there are no drafts. Dry the cat with a soft towel.

Before choosing such a cat, think about the extra care and grooming that they require. You have to be able to make the commitment to ensure that your hairless cat is happy and healthy.




People who love cats come in all shapes and sizes, as do cat breeds. Being informed about the different cat breeds and their needs will ensure that you and your cat have a mutually beneficial relationship.

July 25, hypoallergenic Cat breeds, hypoallergenic cats

Hypoallergenic cat breeds may be the answer to the people who are allergic to cats.

But is it really a breed of hypoallergenic cat? Fortunately, the answer is Yes. But that doesn?t mean that you will find a cat that doesn?t cause any type of allergy. Let me explain.

Hypoallergenic means less likely to cause an allergic reaction (hypo comes from the Greek and means less). There is therefore a low risk that the owner of cat will be still a few minor reactions to his cat.

There is therefore no non-allergenic cat? Unfortunately, there is no breed of cat which will cause any allergy to anyone. So to make it clearer: non-allergenic, means that it doesn?t cause allergies, hypoallergenic means that allergic reactions are reduced.

Some people think that hair cat?s are causing their allergies when, in fact, it is a particular protein that causes them. This protein known as FEL D1, is located on the saliva of cat?s and skin glands that secrete oil.

Of course, when the cat having itself, it will be transferring the allergen in his hair and he can then become airborne.

Other ways the allergen can spread is because of you cat licking you, your cat sheds a in the hair and dander.

There is a misconception that a non-shedding cat or a cat without hairs cause no allergies in people. Unfortunately, even these cats can cause allergies. Remember that allergens reside in the saliva of cat?s (mainly) and not in the fur trade. But the despair of the don?t. Even if you won't find non-allergenic cats, there are a few breeds of hypoallergenic cat.

Siberian

Despite his long hair, Siberian cat breed is one of the least allergenic cat breeds. The reason is that, compared to other breeds of cat, the Siberian has less FEL D1 protein in their body.

Siberians are very social and focused on people, a trait that makes them wonderful animal family of company.

Russian Blue

As Siberia, this beautiful cat produces less FEL D1 protein. This is good news for people who would like to have a chat with a somewhat reduced capacity to cause allergic reactions.

The Russian Blue is very intelligent and very playful and intends well with other pets and even of children. These blue-grey kittens are also known for their quiet disposition.

The Sphynx

Even if the Sphynx looks as if totally hairless it?s, it is not an Undercoat. But, because this breed sheds a little and it produces dander very little, propagation of allergens is decreased.

Cornish Rex

A beautiful, elongate, the Cornish Rex cat has a very fine, very short and very leaf layer. It takes very little, too.

Devon Rex

Your guide to cat breeds

In the early years of 8,000 of its relationship with humans, cats pretty much took care of his own creation. People kept them for a purpose-rodent hunting-and they already are perfectly designed for this. More than 100 years ago, however, we started to play systematically cats to appeal to our aesthetic tastes. Hair length, color, pattern of coat, as well as head and leg proportions contribute to the "appearance" of specific breeds.
Look enough cat bodies and faces, and you'll see two distinct types.
Faces are triangular or rounded. Organisms that are skinny and lanky belong to the Oriental breeds, or foreign agile. Short legs and support a comprehensive, compact body are characteristic of a "cobby". Mixed breeds usually have a body "in between" type.
There are over 70 distinct breeds of cats that are recognized by formal cat records. Some records recognize only about 40 races, because they exclude those who, like the Bengals that are hybrids of wild and domestic cats. Some "races" are simply variations of main types. For example, a cat of Balinese is one more type of Siamese cat hair.
Some breeds have roots that go back in history. Japanese Bobtail, distinguished by a short tail like rabbit, can be tracked more than 1,000 years. The Egyptian Mau cat keeps the physical characteristics of the ancient Egyptian cats found in old paintings.
With a sleek body randomly spotted, banded legs and tail, eyes communicative and a distance of Chita, as ellegant, it is no wonder that the Mau attracts a huge amount of attention at concerts.
Other races reflect new aesthetic. Ocicats and Savannah cats are wild-hybrids-the result of breeding with feral cats domestic cats-that fill a desire for some cat lovers have a pet "savages". The Cornish Rex, with its soft, wavy coat and moustache coils, is a dramatic contrast and visual to the typical smooth-coated cat. Similarly, the Sphynx cat "naked" is a breed of cat fancier esoteric.
Because the Sphynx cat has little hair, the cat should be washed periodically. This is an easy task with a cat that has been accustomed to a bath from kittenhood.
Sometimes cats are just "ordinary cats." "Home" is the term used to classify veterinary cats of unknown heritage. Cats in these categories are divided into groups as domestic short hair (DSH), long hair on the domestic market (DLH) and medium length hair national (DMH). Some people consider the cats based on circumstances of life. House cat or alley cat, but these are not breeds true.
Hair length and texture contribute to look "of the breed", but the color is not a factor in the trusted identity. Black cats with white paws, belly and chests are referred to as "Tuxedo" cats, but this is simply a description of the coat pattern found in domestic breeds and "exotic". Tortoiseshell and Calico cats coated sometimes are referred to as "ginger", "marmalade", or "Orange tabby" cats, making them sound like specific breeds. In reality, they are merely descriptors, as well as the "Green-Eyed Asian" or "brown-eyed." While it is true that some cat breeds only come in a hue (Russian Blues and Korats only show gray) most breeds exhibit a range of coat color and pattern.
