Domestic Cat Breeds

There is no particular name for a tailless cat, other than the breed name for those that have no tails. The American Bobtail and the Manx are the most common tailless breeds.

No not really

It depends on the cat. My Abyssinian male of 9 is vocal whenever he is playful, hungry, or drawing attention when I've worked too long on the PC and he wants my attention. Sometimes he's vocal when I go to bed, because he just rested and wants to be with me, while I am retiring to the bedroom, although after 5 minutes or less he gives up and goes to sleep again. He is however not vocal when he is satisfied or at ease, unlike some other breeds that are. I'd say the average Abyssinian is probably moderatly vocal, mostly when she/he has needs which aren't fulfilled at the moment.

Jersey is a breed of a cow developed on the Island of Jersey in the English Channel. It was bred mainly to give milk rather than for meat.

1. Cats are Popular

33% of American households have a cat while 52% have more than one cat.

The tortoiseshell pattern is often made up with several colours such as black and red (orange), but can also include a mixture of brown, chocolate, cream, or cinnamon. The size of the patches can vary from a fine speckled or mottled pattern to large areas of colour. The colours and patterns widely vary from cat to cat.

A calico cat is white with tortoiseshell-type patches of colour, typically black and red, although other colours can be present, also.

Singapura cats are not hypoallergenic. The singapura is the smallest breed of cat, with a short, fine coat. Adult weight averages 6-pounds. The ears are large, slightly cupped and the eyes are almond-shaped.

Actually, they're not. Male Calicos are very rare - only about 1 in 300 Calico kittens are male - but they do exist. Unfortunately, a sex-linked genetic disorder kills most male Calicos when they're just kittens, so adult male Calicos are extremely rare and are considered valuable.

The best cat foods are the ones with a very high, named meat content (labelled as Chicken, Turkey, Rabbit, Lamb, Tuna, etc.) as the FIRST ingredient with no grains, wheat, corn or any other cereals. Be sure to keep away from Ingredients such as grain, corn, wheat gluten, various sugars as they serve no nutritional value to the cat whatsoever.

A good quality wet food is far better for a cat as far as nutrition is concerned. Cats are strict carnivores, so get all their energy from Protein and Fat which is abundant in meat. Moisture is also a very important factor as cats are designed to get their moisture from their food (a trait that has been passed down from their wild ancestors), and therefore have a low "thirst drive" and will not often seek out water on their own.

A cat fed solely on dry food can get less than half of its daily intake of moisture. A cat in a constant state of dehydration can cause Urinary Tract Infections, Cystitis and other problems. However, owners can combat this by feeding more wet food and purchasing a water fountain or leaving a tap on to entice the cat to drink.

Many brands of dry food, including IAMS, Purina, Friskies, and Science Diet (despite the price!), are packed with carbohydrates - "filler" in the way of corns and grains, none of which cats can digest. Grain is used instead of meat because it is cheaper to produce and helps the kibble pieces hold together. However, some high quality dry food brands such as Orijen, Innova and Applaws are free of grains and cereals.

Because kibble is baked at such high temperatures, all the "natural" nutrition is destroyed. Wet food isn't processed to such high levels as this, so most of the nutrition stays intact.

Lastly, it is not proven that dry food cleans a cat's teeth. Kibble is hard and brittle, so shatters at the tips of the teeth - providing little or no cleaning friction. Dental issues usually start under or around the gumline, so kibble is usually ineffective. Some cats don't even chew; they will just swallow the kibble whole. However, some cats will have perfect teeth no matter what food they eat, while others will not benefit at all.

For high-quality Cat food there is: Blue Buffalo, Felidae, Weruva, California Natural, Instinct, Prairie, Natural Balance, Eagle Pack, Wellness, EVO, Bozita (the canned stuff is 90+% meat and can be bought from zooplus.co.uk), HiLife (60% meat), Feline Fayre, to name a few.

Russian Blue rats live about the same length as most pet rats, that is 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 years is common. Rare examples of pet rat are known to live beyond four years, but around 3 years of age is considered a senior citizen among rats.

Cornish Rex are generally show cats so they would be around $800- $1000

The number of years a house cat lives varies. The average age of a house cat is between 10 and 15 years.

Actually a black cat starts to turn brown or grey because of the sun. If your cat sits in the sun a lot it is because the color of their hair is actually oxidizing with the sun, therefore it turns brown.

The greying typically seen with older cats is the same as humans. Their hair around their mouth and face will start to lose color and grey.

Babies', kittens included, eyes are "colorless" because melanin hasn't yet been "deposited" in the eyes' iris. Therefore, they appear bright blue. When they're about 6 weeks old, their eyes will rapidly gain melanin, turning their eyes gold or green.

The Scottish Fold cats have very large, round eyes.

Pretty much the same any domestic pet has...they provide companionship, loyalty, uncontitional love and general positive therapeutic benefits to petowners.

Because you're sitting in one spot and you've made a nice lap for them to sit on and you're paying attention to something besides THE CAT! Cats must be the center of attention, especially if you look like you're having fun without them.

Mink Ragdolls are Ragdoll Breed Variants since All Ragdolls are blue-eyed and colorpointed. Mink Ragdolls were derived from RagaMuffin outcrosses.

It could be one of many breeds. If the cat came without papers it is probably a moggy - A Domestic Shorthair. These cats are of mixed lineage and so can come in many shapes, sizes and colours. Some even may look like a pedigree cat but without proof of its lineage they are still called moggies.

There is no such thing as a "purebred" white cat. White and black are just colours, not breeds.

For a start, there are two genes that can make a cat white: The usual being dominant and therefore cannot be carried by a black cat, and the recessive albino.

My guess is we are only talking about the recessive allele, so we have a black cat carrying albino (Cc) and a pure albino (cc). In this case half the kittens would be white (cc) and half would be black (Cc).

Forgetting the albino gene, the black cat would not be carrying white at all (ww), the pure white cat would be dominant (WW), and all the offspring would be white (Ww).

In life I would say the purewhite cat is most likely dominant and if the black cat carries the albino allele or not it makes no difference; all offspring would be white.
