The least common breed of cat is actually referred to as as sphinx. It is a hairless cat and are very sweet, but in my friend Katie's opinion kind of gross. These cats are referred to in old Egyptian tales involving mummies, tombs, etc.

If anyone has info on how sphinxes actually came to be, please edit my answer.

What is the best age to breed your Bengal cat?

Cats are physically capable of reproduction as early as four or five months. However, a male cat's sperm count at this age will be much lower than that of an older cat. Personally I would choose an older stud because it is difficult to know for sure whether a kitten would make good breeding stock or not. If you intend to breed your female cat rather than spaying her, she should be kept separate from males from about five months of age. It's not a good idea to breed a very young cat as the chances of complications during labour and delivery are much higher. Her pelvis is smaller than an older queen's. Older cats often make better first-time mothers.

How many colors of tabby cats are there?

The tabby coat colour on cat can be incredibly varied! The "Tabby" term means dark markings (stripes, swirls, spots) on a paler background. The stripe colour is solid (goes right to the hair root), but the background colour is banded with colour on each individual hair.

Here are just some of the many colours:

  • Blue Tabby - Cream/ivory-blue base, slate blue markings.
  • Brown Tabby - Coppery-brown base, black markings.
  • Cameo Tabby - Cream base, pale red markings.
  • Chocolate Tabby - Ivory/white base, medium-dark brown markings.
  • Cream Tabby - Pale cream base, fawn/buff markings.
  • Lavender (Lilac) Tabby - Milky cream base, frosty grey markings.
  • Red Tabby - Pale red (ginger) base, deep red (ginger) markings.
  • Silver Tabby - Silver base, black markings. Silver Tabbies with coloured markings on a silvery background are called Blue Silver, Red Silver (aka Cameo Tabby) etc.

What size is tuxedo cats?

A female tuxedo cat usually should weigh no more then 8 pounds. It is a very small cat, average house cats weigh ten pounds. If it is a mix of some bigger cat then it's normal to be over that size. Also males will be a little bigger. Generally as long as when you touch your cat and you can feel their ribs but there not exactly jutting out then they are healthy. Kittens have what's called kitty fat which is normal. They will probably grow out of it as they grow older.

How do you tell if your cat is a boy?

Answer:

It takes a few weeks at least for the kitten's genitals to develop enough so you can tell the sex. Check the distance between the anus and the genital opening- close together for a girl and further apart for a boy. Also the boy will have more a round genital opening and the girl more slit like. As they get older it gets easier as testicles will appear between the anus and the gentials in the boys. If you are unsure, get a vet to check.

Answer:

Hold the kitten so its back end is facing you. Its tail will go up; this is just what you want to happen so you can make a determination.

See if you can make the determination by using what is called the "colon or semicolon" rule. If the animal is a male, the area below its tail should resemble a colon ( : ); if it is a female, the area should represent a semi-colon ( ; ).

See if the urinary area and anus are close together; if so, it is a female. In male kittens, the urinary area and anus are not close together, and an undeveloped scrotum may be visible.

What breed of cat do you have when it is all white except orange tail and ears?
