Domestic Cat Breeds

Ragdolls are definitely not even in the same category as the Persian cat breed. Ragdolls are much sweeter.

No, the Sphynx cat breed is not very popular in Canada.

If you love cats, and have the time to spend with your cat, you will love Bengal cats. They are social cats who love their owner. I have a Bengal cat. In his last home he was beat up by the other cats. My moms fiances friend was selling him. So we took him. he has a little cut on his ear. They loved to be patted.

Bengals are outgoing, very vocal and will follow their owner everywhere. They will bond strongly normally to one owner and do not like to be without them. This hybrid breed are incredibly inquisitive, active and very playful, particuarly with other Bengals. Most do not like being picked up, so do not make the best not lap cats. However, there are exceptions to the rule. Because Bengals bond closely with one owner, it is not ideal for them to be left in the house for a significant period of time.

WARNING: Don't let your cat out unless he has a leash because Bengal cats are worth a lot of money.

The Scottish Fold cat is one of the few cat breeds that is not aloof.

Mammals that are similar to the weasel in appearance include the badger and the American marten. Both have gray or brown fur used for camouflage and long, slender faces.

The most common nose color for a red ("orange") cat is brick red although black is seen too. We are talking about the tip of the nose, the part with no hair on it. If the red is dilute (cameo or cream) the nose may be closer to pink. It's all genetics.

Cats are good to have as pets for many reasons. One of their biggest factors besides their lovability is that they are not hard to take care of. All a cat needs is food, fresh water, a place to eat and defecate, and love. It is vital they are not deprived of these. However other than those, a cat does not require anything else to be your happy pet. Also, cats can handle being alone for a few days while you vacation, as long as you leave them plenty of food and water to accommodate those days. Cats do not bark, and they take care of any mice, voles or rats that might be living with you. With some breeds of cats, you can even teach them tricks, such as fetch.

They are friendly, loving, playful creatures. Kittens can provide endless entertainment with their antics any hour.

Cats are strict carnivores, so live predominantly on a diet of fresh raw meat. Domestic cats aren't all that different from big cats such as lions. Pet cats, like their wild cousins, get all their nutrition from meat-based proteins and fats. A pet cat that has access to outside might hunt and eat small birds, mice, voles and other small wildlife animals.

Due to the vast variety of different cat foods out there - dry and wet and even moist - each pet cat's diet can vary wildly. Premium cat foods often have a high meat content which is the best to feed your cat.

The Calico cat is very likely to be female. It is a genetic trait that seems to be tied into the same genetics that govern their coat color.

The oldest siamese cat recorded lived to be 32 human years old. 224 in cat years.

There is no set amount as to how much a cat should weigh. The average weight of a domestic cat is between 9-11 pounds. However the smallest cat weighed less than 2 pounds fully grown and the heaviest was just under a whopping 47 pounds. If you are wondering if your cat is over or underweight, here's a quick test. You should be able to feel a cat's ribs but not see them. If you do not feel the ribs, your cat is most likely overweight, but check with a vet if you are not sure.

Kittens as young as 8 weeks old can be spayed or neutered. It's not really necessary to have it done THAT early, but keep in mind that cats can start having babies as young as 4 months old. So don't wait too long!

Also, getting it done when the kitten is still very young -- like 8 to 12 weeks -- is supposed to be better for their long-term health.

This is my Thomas he is my beautiful cat and friend. I found him at the dog rescue in Logan Co. They had him as a farm cat. I knew when I saw him he was special I got him as a kitten.. He is my buddy I love him so much. One of my friends found out what he was..I am a proud owner of him..

No, as they are different species with different genetic codes. However, if you're allergic to cats you could potentionally develope allergies to a guinea pig (especially if you keep it in their room).

Abyssinian cats are usually brown, with golden bellies. But there is another kind of Abyssinian, called a red Abyssinian. Red Abyssinians are a rusty, reddish-gold color all over, although the fur is a little bit darker, and a little more brown-looking, on their backs and the top of their heads.

I tried to add links to some pictures, but for some reason, they didn't work. To find pictures of Abyssinian cats, Google "abyssinian cats pictures" and "red abyssinian cats pictures."

Its claws. Siamese cats, at one point in time, were temple guardians in Thailand. They have been known to drive off (legend says kill) human intruders by leaping at their faces/necks with their claws.

Personally I prefer Azmura since its suited more to kittens then cats. There is also Wellness, Felidae, Blue Buffalo, Evolve, Hi Life and many more.

It depends where you live in the world. All major brands carry a food for kittens. The best foods are the ones with a high Named (labeled Chicken, Turkey, Beef, Lamb, Tuna etc.) meat content. Kittens need about twice as much Protein as adult cats, so the higher the meat content, the better. It is advisable to stay away from brands that include Corn, Wheat, Cereals and Soy in their foods - cats and kittens have difficulty in digesting this and can cause upset stomachs (diarrhea can quickly become fatal to kittens as they dehydrate easily), and do not provide any nutritional value to the kitten whatsoever.

You mean to create a hybrid animal? I don't think it's possible, sperm are attracted to the scent of the female egg, but if the species of animal is too different the smell is different and the sperm won't find it.

Yes. All cats retain the striped 'Tabby' gene. Albeit very faint, some Russian Blue cats will retain 'ghost stripes' of varying shades of gray. The longevity of these stripes depends on the individual animal, and may or may not fade with age.

Cats don't vary in size much, but I would recommend cats with points like the Siamese, Javanese, Tonkinese and Colourpoint Shorthairs, plus the Rex breeds, Munchkin and Somali. The Munchkin has very short legs, making it the shortest of cats.

Yes, the purebred Scottish Fold cats can have a blue tabby coat.

Quin. ^^ it means 5, i named one i found on the beach Quin

Adult female cats are often called Queens, especially when pregnant or nursing kittens. The term "Molly" is sometimes used for immature, young and spayed female cats.
