Do Cats Really Love Us Or Just Being Nice?
May 1st, 2009 at 03:26 am by Cat Lover in Cat Information
There is no simple answer to the question. It can be hypothetical question with two sides of argument towards the feline response and behavior to the pet owner. I think a cat behavior and response tend to be honest and candid emotions.
Like being explained earlier, it can prove to be tricky by explaining a cat’s love for the owner. However, we do know or can observed that cat do tend to express its own reactions and emotions strongly. Fear, anger, excitement and affection are easily displayed by cats. The next form of argument links back to the perception and how humans interpret of a cat behavior.

How Do Cats Find Their Way Home?
April 22nd, 2009 at 12:07 am by Cat Lover in Cat InformationIs their truth to say that cats cannot find the way home after long wanderings or just another debate to old wives tales to counter these statements.
We have to understand that cats, besides having a strong sight, they do have another strong sensory using the nose for their scent and communication. For most cats, it pose no problem for them to find their home within distance of 2 to 3 miles. In most tests, most cats are able to make their way straight home from the point of drop off origin even if have been given a detour. A cat with outdoor experience will be more decisive and superior in operating these tests as compare with a household indoor cat.

Sense of Smell In Cats
April 19th, 2009 at 11:30 pm by Cat Lover in Cat InformationContrary to the belief that smell importance to the dog is more than cat is very misleading. Firstly we have to understand the different nature in circumstances surrounding both animals.
Animals make strong use of their senses to get around things, in the dog world it is consider the so –call macrosmate;living primarily in the world of smells. If we consider the examination of dog structure can shed some light with the evidence in the following.

The History of Persian Cats
March 28th, 2009 at 06:20 am by Cat Lover in Cat InformationBelieve it or not, Persians are thought to be the oldest breed of cats, but at the same time, there are numerous different versions of where the Persian cat began. It is widely believed, however, in all versions that the Persian cat originated in the country that was once known as Persia, which is now modern day Iran.
The popular version of the Persian cat history is that Persians were introduced first to Italy, around 1620, by Pietro della Valle and that they were brought from Turkey to France by Nicholas Claude Fabri de Peiresc about the same time. These are documented instances, and again, they fit into all versions of the Persians history.

The Difference Between Persian And Himalayan Cats
March 25th, 2009 at 06:18 am by Cat Lover in Cat InformationWhen you consider getting a purebred cat, you might consider Persians and Himalayans. If so, you haven’t done enough research to own either breed, since Himalayans actually are Persians. They are the same breed!
Himalayan cats are essentially a cross between a Persian and a Siamese. This gives the cat the long coat of the Persian, with the striking marks of the Siamese. Among Persian cats, the Himalayan is the most popular Persian.

Showing Persian Cats
March 13th, 2009 at 06:08 am by Cat Lover in Cat InformationWhile many people get Persians for their sweet temperament and quality as a pet, many others get Persians for the purpose of showing them at sanctioned cat shows. Many believe that showing these fantastic animals is half the joy of owning one.
If you want to start showing your Persian, it is suggested that you attend several cat shows beforehand. First attend as nothing more than a spectator. Take the time to walk around and talk to the judges and exhibitors, as this is a fantastic way to learn more about showing cats. Following this, you should get a breeder or a person who shows regularly to mentor you. Attend a couple of cat shows with them, and watch first hand how the process works from start to finish.

Persian Cat Show Divisions
February 8th, 2009 at 05:42 am by Cat Lover in Cat InformationIf you will be showing your Persian cat at a sanctioned cat show, it is important to know the different divisions that your cat will fit into. Many newcomers to cat shows think that the division only relates to the color class of the cat, but this isn’t quite the case.
First, of course, one must consider the color divisions. For Persians, most sanctioned shows also include Himalayans. The seven color/pattern classes for Persians and Himalayans are solid color, silver, smoke, tabby, parti-color, bi-color, and of course Himalayan.

How To Get The Pick Of A Persian Cat Litter
January 18th, 2009 at 05:27 am by Cat Lover in Cat InformationWhen you find a Persian breeder, and you arrive to see their current litter, you will be faced with a huge dilemma which Persian kitten should you choose? Because Persian kittens are expensive, you most likely won’t be able to get more than one or two, but how do you get the pick of the litter?
Many Persian breeders have waiting lists. This list is comprised of people who have been waiting for a kitten from a particular pair of parents. In most cases, the person at the top of the list gets the pick of the litter, with the second person on the list getting the second pick, and so on and so forth. However, many people on the waiting lists are looking for show quality Persians, as opposed to pet quality Persians. Therefore, if you are just looking for a pet Persian, you could still get a pick of the pet quality Persians in that litter.

How Much Do Persian Cats Cost?
January 13th, 2009 at 05:25 am by Cat Lover in Cat InformationWhen you first consider getting a Persian cat, one of the first things you will want to know is how much you should expect to pay for your Persian. The truth is that there is no pat answer to this question, as the cost of the Persian depends on many variables.
First note that if you find a Persian priced under $200 you probably are not getting a purebred. At the very least, you will be getting a purebred that has no pedigree and this does happen. The typical cost of a purebred Persian kitten is about $500, but again, this isn’t written in stone because many other variables come into play.

Documentation For Persian Cats
December 17th, 2008 at 05:09 am by Cat Lover in Cat InformationWhen you decide that you want a Persian, you will likely be astounded at the cost of these fabulous cats. There is a great deal of documentation that should accompany any purebred Persian. Read through the information below to have a full understanding of what you need in terms of documentation.
First and foremost, you should have a written health guarantee from the breeder. Notice the word “written”? The written guarantee will state what vaccinations the Persian has already received. It should also contain deworming information. The health guarantee should also include documentation concerning testing that the parents have had for genetic problems as well as common diseases such as FeLV or FIV. The health guarantee should be good, at the very least, for the first 48 hours, during which time you should have the kitten checked by your own veterinarian.
