Cat Genie

Archive for May, 2010

Who does not know about, say that all cats are alike. However there are over 50 different breeds of cats. Some are the product of chance or natural evolution, while others have been genetically sought by crossing several copies, trying to improve certain characteristics typical of some breeds. However, the genotype of all cats in the world is derived from five females originating, lost in the past evolution.

An example of race is the naturally selected Abyssinian cat. Abyssinia is a region of Africa, known today as Ethiopia. By the year 1860 the first specimens of this breed were brought to England, which historically has been able to raise the finest specimens of these animals. In the first decade of the twentieth century, the Abyssinian cat first came to the United States. This is a short-haired animal, in most cases in shades of brown. A cat is very agile and lean; you need space for an intense physical activity. His eye color is a characteristic almond shape. As an example of a breed developed genetically, we can cite the Bombay cat, created in 1958 from American Shorthair cats and cats Burmeses. The simplest way to describe it is that resembles a small panther. Their fur is usually completely jet black and has short hair and compact. His head is rounded, and we can say that the proportions of your body are quite nice. This breed of cats is usually excellent companions to humans since they are very affectionate and domestic.

The Pixie Bob is one of the breeds of cats developed more recently, in the early 80′s.As the initial couple that gave birth to this race-poly-dactyly is an excess in the number of toes on each foot, it is common for all copies Pixie Bob presented this anomaly. Its fur is mottled with shades of gray, brown, black and white. Cat is a very sturdy, as a specimen of this breed can reach 10 kilos. Its tail is short, but without looking like a pompom. Extremely quiet, get along very well with other animals and children. It’s a very intelligent race, and who loves human contact.

For example, the cat is more independent, but this does not mean you do not like to be with their owners and to give cuddles and caresses. The main difference between cats and dogs is that cats lack the hierarchical structure that dogs both need to make sense of their world. One of the first concerns of the new cat owners are undoubtedly good hygiene behaviors. Usually, the cat quickly adapts to his litter tray, which can be obtained at any pet store. Suffice to have the tray clean the cat is comfortable with it and get used to relieve themselves in the place assigned.

If your cat has outdoor access, probably use the tray less frequently, but not so convenient to forget to keep available his tray with sand in the interior of the housing, for example in the bathroom or somewhere else far away from the zone assigned to the cat to eat, when you have an inner life right place for their physiological and avoid behavioral problems. Another point of interest for new cat owners is that, usually, unlike dogs, do not need to bathe a cat. It is true that cats despite his known aversion to water, if they are accustomed from childhood, can be washed without too much stress, but in general it is sufficient to daily brushing for cats with long hair and a weekly brushing short-haired cats.

These cats care will help your pet to be happy and healthy and help us concoct better the complex world of domestic cats. Surely, gradually begin to enjoy the pampering of your cat: some are sweet and cuddly and will be more explicit in showing his affection for us, but surely will soon enjoy the magical moment when the cat comes and rubs his face and his head against the body of his master, and shows us the beautiful displays of affection and happiness is his way of saying “you’re mine.” The reason for this behavior is that cats like that are implementing their pheromones, a variety of hormones emanating from a number of glands in the skin to leave your own essence, and recognize that the owner belongs.
