Domestic Cat Breeds

No, not likechameleons or anything of that sort. They can, however, have their fur get a little darker or change in color very slightly from the time they are kittens to maturity. Older cats might become paler or grow some gray hair mixed in their coat. Some cats also become slightly lighter or darker when their winter coat grows in. All cats can have small changes like this, its not just limited to the Siamese breed.

No, calico cats are pretty common. It is very rare to see a male calico cat, especially one that is full-grown, because almost all male calicos have genetic defects that kill them as kittens. Because of this, adult male calicos are incredibly valuable and have sold for thousands of dollars or more.

Whether a female is spayed or not isnt' visible once the incision heals.

This depends on the individual cat; some are very quiet while others will constantly "talk" to their owners. Some breeds such as the Maine Coon, Bengal and Siamese are known to be extremely vocal.

Personally I don't think the breed makes that much of a difference. I think it is the raising and teaching of the cat and how stressed or happy a cat is that determines weather it's behaviour would come across as 'mean' or not, breeds give you a guideline on typical behaviours, how energetic, how big they may grow, moulting etc..

They are different species. Feline and a canine animals can not mate, and produce offspring.

It is a male dominance thing. There can only be one male cat in the area (house).

No, there can be more than one male cat in the house and they can learn to live peacefully with each other. If you get them fixed the fighting will lessen, and they will likely become best buddies.

It really depends on the type of cat you are looking for. Different colors, different eye colors, short hair, long hair, PET quality, or SHOW quality. as a base line, expect to pay anyway from $600.00(US) (low end pet quality) to $1000.00(high end show quality)

The Canadian Sphynx originated in Canada in 1966. It's hairless gene is Recessive. HCM is very prominent in this breed.

The Donskoy (also known as a Russian Sphynx or Don Sphynx) originated in Russia in 1987. The hairless gene in this breed is Dominant. Though any cat breed is susceptible to HCM, the Donskoy is not notoriously known for problems with HCM.

This usually means it's a Siamese cat. I know Siamese have brown in their fur as well, but if their young, it will take some age for the brown to appear. If it's not a Siamese cat, it could also mean the cat is more likely to be deaf.

While tabby cats are grouped together in conversation, they are not a breed. Tabby refers to a cat who has a certain pattern on its coat. The Tabby pattern has 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.

Many breeds of cat can have the tabby pattern, but is particularly common in moggies.

I have found that male cats are much,much more loving,but are very inclined to stray. where as female cats can be a little bit uninterested in you,but do stray very often. but i would have to say get a male cat.

You would die!! Jk you would half to go to the doctors as soon as possible. But if it was a female black widow it would bite if it was a male black widow it possible wouldn't bite you. My name is Josh North and i am in with grade.

you don't need to bath them often, they clean themselves regularly if you bath them too often then there coat may become greasy so don't over do it. I'd say bath tem if they REALLY smell.

There are many human foods that are toxic to a cat:

Chocolate - Can affect the heart and nervous system causing excitement / nervousness / trembling, vomiting / diarrhoea, seizures, muscle spasms, coma and death.

Caffeine - Can affect the heart and nervous system and causes the same or similar symptoms as chocolate.

Alcohol - Giving a cat alcohol repeatedly (or a lot of) will cause liver damage, breathing difficulties, coma and even death.

Garlic (any form) - Can damage red blood cells and lead to anemia.

Onion (any form) - Can damage red blood cells and lead to anemia. Onions are more toxic than garlic.

Tomatoes (all aspects of the fruit and plant) - Can cause the digestive, nervous, and urinary systems, but mostly causes severe digestive upset.

Potatoes (Raw and plant) - Can cause the digestive, nervous, and urinary systems, but mostly causes severe digestive upset.

Mushrooms - Some species of mushroom are highly dangerous as the can cause shock and even death.

Grapes and Raisins - It is unknown why these are toxic, but even a tiny amount can severely damage the kidneys.

Macadamia Nuts - Can cause gastrointestinal upsets, lethargy, vomiting and muscle tremors or stiffness.

Foods that are potentially harmful:

Liver (in large amounts) - A small bit of raw liver on occasion is very beneficial to a cat.

COOKED bones and fish bones (including raw and cooked) - Cooked bones are very hard and brittle and will splinter which can cause obstruction or laceration in the digestive system. Raw bones are much safer as they are soft and do not splinter.

Dog Food - Dog food is vastly different to cat food so doesn't have the added Vitamins and Fatty Acids cats need, such as Taurine.

Foods high in Salt and Sugar - Too much of both can harm your cat's health (sugar can cause obesity and diabetes and salt will cause a chemical imbalance, as well as dehydration).

Milk - Cow's milk, despite popular belief, is not tolerated by many cats as many are lactose intolerant. An adult cat gets no nutrition from any sort of milk, but specially formulated cat or kitten milk can be used as an occasional treat.

The sclera in the cat's eye is there to protect the cat's eye. It is the opaque, fibrous, outer layer of the eye. It contains elastic fiber and collagen.

This kinda determines their age. If they're about 3-5 days old, the blackness means that their body is ridding of a certain fluid that they have in their bodies while in the womb. This is good though. But if a cat is older, the coloration could be caused by their food. You should try using a variety of cat foods, each for about a week, and see if your cats stool returns to normal. This may also mean that your cat is ill, and if these methods above fail, consult a vet.

Ecru. It's a greyish-yellow to a light greyish colour.

Yes, a Burmese cat can be black. At first, they were all sable in color.

Thousands! Like scottish fold kittens are thousand dollars. Or if you get lucky you can get them for $50.

Russian Blue cats are gray. The shade of gray looks different depending on the light the cat is in - in shadows they are almost black, under direct light they are white-gray. They have a slender profile, and very soft, dense fur.
