			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><span id="more-1772"></span>Cats will extend their attachment with people whenever they feel love and being shower with attention.</p>
<p>Different cat breeds also display personality variation and behavior. In a simply content, cats convey affection through numerous ways, such as tail twitching or even winks to the owner. Try doing this simple notion of winks with your pet, and you may discover his return favor too. Observe your cat behavior whenever you enter a room or even speaking, the cat will express his emotion with tail pop up twitching a bit. Sometimes in return the feline will even bump his head against your hands, legs.</p>
<p>If you are already owning a pet cat, you may like to recall the initial days of feeding for your pet. You may have observe that after a couple of weeks of feeding, the moment you like to pet the cat, it sometimes beat you to it by showing it affection by bumping its head or body against your hand followed by some purring. It is one form of affection, however it may not be the best of affection showing while you were sleeping when the cat suddenly jumps in and bump for affection.</p>
<p>Perhaps, it can be compliment of true love whenever your cat follows and try to bump his way through to you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><span id="more-1767"></span>Cats surpass us humans in terms of seeing movement due to their superior peripheral vision. In one way or another, their pupils can dilate wider and capture more view than we do. In recent study, it is found that when cats are faced with similar situations, cats tend to resort to the sight sensors to replay in their head of the audio and visual images they have leave a trail on.</p>
<p>These flashes of memory can be in the form of major highway, fire engines sirens, or even metal stamping of factories around the vicinity. Noises and voices becomes part of the audio images that imprinted onto the memory. On top of these images, the length and strength of the sounds signals play a significant role. During the search and orientation to find the way home, cats may be at disadvantage and wander off tracks if the distances covered are in excess of three miles distance.</p>
<p>Caution must be called for if cases of reports of cats traveling far greater distances.  Sometimes, cats may be gone for several weeks or months on the trail to finally return home. Does providing cat training aid in the cause? Or does the familiar acoustic image and trail marks aid in the recovery of the cat. There are no direct conclusions to explain these incidents.</p>
<p>There are also arguments that cats are ultra sensitive to the surroundings and very much in receptive in emissions to force field. The physics of magnetic field and electrical charges in the environment can alter or give guidance to the cats to journey through home. Perhaps cats are able to align and orientate themselves within their internal “compass” to reach home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Contrary 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.</p>
<p>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. If we take an example of a olfactory mucosa for german shepherd is approximate 30 in.<sup>2</sup> (200 cm<sup>2</sup>) in size, and comparing to that of dachshund is 11 in.<sup>2</sup> (75 cm<sup>2</sup>). <span id="more-1761"></span>The cells comprises between to 120 million and 200 million respectively. Meanwhile, for a cat olfactory mucosa total 3 in.<sup>2</sup> (20 cm<sup>2</sup>) of about<span> </span>60 million olfactory cells, while the humans have only approximate 0.7 in.<sup>2</sup> (5 cm<sup>2</sup>) and 20 million olfactory cells.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Cats oriented themselves primarily through optically, but the smell senses also play an important role for them too. For a sensing organ, it can be highly developed already for new born kitten even when the sight and hearing senses are still shut. With the scent helps them drawn to the milk in the teat. After several weeks, by then the developing sight sense starts to play the important role for the kitten. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Nevertheless, the scent of smell continues to play an equal important role for the growing kitten in the stages of its life to a full grown cat. This continues to play a role in the behavior for the cat: example in the food consumption pattern. The food is also subjected to a smell check prior to consumption, it had a sensory communication to determine whether resulting can stand each other. The feline nose does more than sniffing out food in the house, it also used the highly sensitive nose to communicate with other cats. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Cat will get familiarity with humans through scents by contact of rubbing their head and flanks against them. Each time a cat starts to run his scent gland from his head or paws on an object, it is leaving a personalized communication for other cats to sniff and interpret. You can start to notice a cat behavior by the way it act relatively to the environment it is in. New cat or kitten will start to leave scent message when they go about marking areas with scratches or even feces. Sometimes this scent of marking is used for sexual behavior to simulated attraction.<span> </span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Believe 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. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p><span id="more-982"></span>It is believed that Persians were introduced to Britain from France, and that before this time, they did not have the long hair that we see today. Instead, they were bred in Turkey with Turkish Angoras, which is where the long hair comes from. However, in other versions of the history, the cats were bred with African wildcats to obtain the longer hair. </p>
<p>There is no doubt, in any version, that Persians were always considered to be cats of high value. They were considered to be rare, and they were favored by royalty. In fact, there was a point in time where royalty were the only people who owned Persians or at the very least that Persians were only owned by people of royalty and/or wealth. </p>
<p>Another version of the Persian history has today&#8217;s Persians as descendants of Felis Libyca, which is actually a cat that originates from Africa and Asia. This version also has the Persian being introduced to Europe much earlier than 1620. In fact, this version has the Persian being introduced in the 1500s by the Romans and Phoenicians. This version also states that Persians were considered to be of high trade value. </p>
<p>We can be certain about the time that these special cats were first introduced to the United States and Canada. This occurred in the early 1900s, and from that time on, the cats gained in popularity, quickly becoming the most popular breed of cat in the world, which is a distinction that the breed still holds today. In fact, Persians started out as symbols, and became pets, after which they were prized for their show quality. Today, they are prized for their show and pet qualities, as many Persian owners never show their cats, while others are active exhibitors. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you consider getting a purebred cat, you might consider Persians and Himalayans. If so, you haven&#8217;t done enough research to own either breed, since Himalayans actually are Persians. They are the same breed!</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p><span id="more-980"></span>While Himalayans are Persians, however, there are some marked differences between purebred Persians and Himalayans. For example, Himalayans are known to be more vocal than Persians are. Persians have eyes of varying colors, but most Himalayans have beautiful blue eyes. However, the most common difference between Himalayans and purebred Persians are the colors, known as Color Points. </p>
<p>Himalayan color points include blue, red, cream tortie, seal, lilac, chocolate, blue-cream, chocolate tortie, lilac-cream, red lynx, blue lynx, seal lynx, cream lynx, blue-cream lynx, tortie lynx, chocolate lynx, chocolate-tortie lynx, lilac-cream lynx, and lilac lynx. </p>
<p>In the case of Purebred Persians, the color points aren&#8217;t as well defined as they are with Himalayans. However, most people cannot distinguish the differences between Persians and Himalayans. </p>
<p>Because Himalayans are actually only part Persian, many people think that they should be priced lower than purebred Persians. In most cases, this isn&#8217;t what you will find. Himalayans are priced just as high as purebred Persians because of their beauty and their show quality. Of course, if they are the product of champion status Persians and champion status Siamese, their price only tends to rise higher. </p>
<p>So, why would one choose a Himalayan over a purebred Persian? Some like the darker markings on the Himalayan; the Siamese look combined with the long hair, while others prefer the more solid, non-marked look of the Persian. Other than vocal differences, there really is no difference beyond that. </p>
