Hello my friends… ^^
This is my newest post in this month. Thank’s for keep visiting my blog.

The other cat I want to tell is Himalayan Cat.

Have you ever been seen this cutie ?

Yes.. Right ! This is a Himalayan Cat. Very cute isn’t it?x)

Himalayan cat are a gentle pet. Himalayan cats is cat with very long hair.

They have variety of color coats to include blue point, chocolate point, red, seal, cream, and lilac point, as well as tabby and tortoiseshell point.

The breed has a round body with short legs, so they can't jump as high as more slender, long- legged cats, but they can still jump about 7 feet into the air, which is still pretty high.
Himalayan cats are not only beautiful, but they are also very sweet, intelligent, and social cats. The breed is known for their calm and gentle nature, making them great indoor companions, but that doesn't mean you should ignore their playful side. Himalayan cats will run and play fetch with paper crumples or balls. These cats love to be groomed, but the feature that makes them even more favored among cat fanciers is that they are very affectionate.
Just be careful and have your Himalayan cat checked for the gene that causes Polycystic kidney disease. Generally, breeders will have their breeding cats tested before breeding in attempts to reduce the spread of the gene, but that doesn't mean that all breeders are responsible in spaying or neutering cats that have the gene. 
Do you know?The Himalayan cat breed is a very popular breed of cat.As usual I will give you many photo of this cat,,enjoy it.. 

 Bye" .. :)

Ragdoll Cats 

Introduction

Ragdolls are large, docile cats. They are sweet-faced and muscular, with an overall impression of elegance and balance. They have a medium-long, non-matting coat with a soft texture like rabbit fur. They are pointed in color (like the Himalayan or Siamese) and appear in seal point, blue point, chocolate point, and lilac point, with or without white markings. 

Is This The Breed For Me?

If you want a large cat which is non-aggressive, loves to be with people, and is very placid, you may want to consider a Ragdoll. Also, if you love the look of a long-haired cat, but do not want the constant grooming associated with breeds such as the Persian, a Ragdoll would be a good choice. The gentle Ragdoll is also good with children and is easy to introduce into a multi-pet household.

If you want a very active or talkative cat, then you might not be happy with the less-active Ragdoll.

Physical Description

Ragdolls are large, heavy cats, with broad chests and large hindquarters. They are slow-maturing, and do not reach full maturity until approximately three years of age. Females are smaller than males, weighing about 10-15 pounds on average. Males weigh an average of 12-20 pounds as adults, although some may grow to be larger.

Ragdolls have large, oval, blue eyes and sweet expressions. Their large, rounded ears are set with a slight forward tilt. They have a curved profile with the look of a "ski slope" as it merges to the top of the head.

Their medium-long coats and bushy tails have a soft texture that feels like rabbit fur. In general, Ragdolls have longer fur around the neck (a "ruff") and on the back of the hindquarters (sometimes referred to as "britches"). The fur does not tend to mat, and is easily combed. It does, however, require occasional grooming.

Ragdolls are pointed cats. Like other pointed breeds such as the Himalayan and Siamese, Ragdoll kittens are born all white and slowly develop color. The color continues to deepen as the cat ages.

In most associations, Ragdolls are accepted in 3 patterns and 4 colors. The three patterns are "colorpoint," "mitted," and "bicolor":

• A "colorpoint" has dark points (ears, tail, face, and feet) with a body of a lighter shade. The nose leather and pawpads match the point color. Colorpoints do not have white markings (although the pale body color may appear white on some cats).
• A "mitted" has dark points and lighter body like a colorpoint, but also has white "mitts" on the front paws, white "boots" on the back legs and feet, a white chin, a white strip on the stomach, and a white ruff.
• A "bi-color" has the dark points (ears and tail), but the mask is interrupted by an inverted "V" running between the eyes and expanding into the muzzle. The body color forms a "saddle" on the cat's back and the remainder of the cat is white. Bi-colors have pink nose leather and paw pads.

The four colors are "seal," "chocolate," "blue," and "lilac" (also known as "frost"):

• A "seal" has dark seal brown points with a light tan body color.
• A "chocolate" has milk chocolate points with an ivory body color.
• A "blue" has dark gray points with a pale gray body color.
• A "lilac" has pinkish gray points with a frosty white body color.

Characteristics and Temperament

Ragdolls (as their name implies) are extremely "laid-back," docile, non-aggressive cats. They tend to relax when held. They are said to possess a non-fighting instinct, which means that if attacked, they do not defend themselves. They are very "people" oriented and love to be around others, which often finds them greeting guests and/or following their owners around in a fashion similar to a puppy. They are often quite an attraction in a show ring because of their docile dispositions and acceptance of the judge placing them on their backs, holding them like a baby, etc.

In general, Ragdolls are not extremely vocal, but they do voice their opinions concerning certain things (such as at mealtime!). Ragdolls are generally placid cats, but they do love to play with all types of toys and like to be involved in whatever "action" is going on.

Care and Training

Ragdolls are intelligent and like to please their owners. Training Ragdolls is much more successful when done with rewards. For example, they can be trained easily to use a scratching post instead of your furniture by lavishing attention on them whenever they use the post. As with most cats, however, Ragdolls can be their "own boss" if they so choose!

They do not shed excessively, and need little care to keep their coats in good condition. Their soft, rabbit-like fur does not tend to mat. The fur does require occasional combing or brushing, and the longer fur around the hindquarters should be combed regularly. In general, Ragdolls do not mind being groomed and, in fact, often enjoy the grooming sessions.

Because Ragdolls lack the instinct to defend themselves when attacked, they must be kept as indoor pets only. However, they can be easily leash trained so that they can go for walks with you outside.

Otherwise, good food, fresh water, regular vet-checkups, regular vaccinations and lots of love is what they need to thrive. Bits of fresh raw beef can also be fed, as it helps clean the teeth and gives good nutrients, but be *very* sure of your supplier before doing this!

Special Medical Concerns

No specific medical conditions have been noted with this breed. However, as with all breeds, certain "lines" might have a tendency toward specific health problems. It's probably a good idea to talk to the breeder about whether his/her cats come from lines with any health risks.

Brief History

In the early 1960's, a woman from California named Ann Baker created the Ragdoll by breeding a white female Persian to a male Birman. She then introduced a female Burmese into the breeding program. This combination resulted in the Ragdoll breed. She then founded the IRCA organization in approximately 1971, which had very stringent "rules" for owners of her cats. The IRCA still exists, but Ragdolls produced by the IRCA are not accepted in any major association.

Fortunately, a husband and wife team bought a pair of the original IRCA Ragdolls and realized that this breed needed to be standardized, shown, and accepted by the various associations in the cat fancy. They worked on an extensive, selective breeding program, out of which grew the standardized Ragdolls. The Ragdoll Fanciers' Club International (RFCI) was then formed to promote the breed and set specific guidelines for Ragdoll breeders.

Like every post,I’ll gave you special photos of this cat =)

American Curl

Welcome All :),today I will tell you about American Curl Cat .

Wish you interested in it..

The first time you see an American Curl, you may think that this cat has a deformity.
After all, cats don't usually have ears that curve back toward the back of their heads. The American Curl has varying degrees of curl to their ears, from ears that barely tip back to ears that curve so far back that they form a crescent shape.
Only cats with ears that form a crescent curve are suitable for showing, but all American Curls make delightful pets.
This breed was developed in the early nineteen eighties from one stray cat that a California cat lover adopted. Surprisingly enough, all kittens are born with ears that look completely normal. When the kittens are about ten days*old, their ears begin to curl. The kittens are about four months old before the ears develop their final position.

If you are looking for a loving, affectionate American Curl kitten that brings on a smile every time you look into those adoring melt-your-heart faces ^.^. American curls are playful, friendly and inquisitive cats.  They go well with children, seniors, other pets and strangers.   Due to their qualities and due to their well adaptiveness to any household variety, American curls have become the favorite cat for many people.  However, they need lot of attention and need company.  If you plan to buy, buying two can keep the cats happy.  They do not meow much, and their talk usually is limited to cooing or trilling sounds.  With little knowledge about them, you can certainly enjoy with this beautiful cat..

American Curl Cat Personality

Curls have qualities other than the whimsical ears to make them attractive pets. They are people cats that do not show any of the stereotypical aloofness, and are affectionate without harassing people for attention the way some breeds can. They delight in perching on shoulders and love to pat and nuzzle their peoples' faces. Curls are a 'fetching' breed, easily taught to play fetch, and never lose their love of play. They are also noted for their affinity with children.

While not as active as the Abyssinian, American Curls are playful and energetic. They also display the typical cat curiosity and want to be right there to investigate any changes in their environment.

American Curl Cat Breed Traits

At birth, Curl kittens look like any other kitten, but between one and seven days the ears get firmer and start to plump up and curve back. Since the degree of curl can change dramatically over a short period, kittens should not be purchased until they are between four and four and one-half months, when the curl of the ear settles down into the form it will carry throughout the cat's life. Curl cats take two to three years to reach maturity.

The degree of ear curl can vary from 90 to 180 degrees, or from first degree to the show-favored third degree curl. The ears should not curl back to touch the back of the head, however; this is cause for disqualification, as is any ear lacking firm cartilage from the base to at least one-third of its height.

When Curls are born, their ears are straight, but within two to ten days after birth, their ears begin to curl back. During the first 4 months, the kitten's ears will gradually curl and uncurl in varying degrees until they are set permanently at 4 months of age. At this age, breeders can determine the kitten's quality (pet, breeder, show). Along with the kitten's overall conformation to the breed standard, degree of curl to the ear is a key factor in determining quality as follows: first degree (pet), second degree (breeder), and third degree (show) being the most desirable curl to the ear, emulating the graceful curve of a full crescent. Ear furnishings (hair tufts) fanning outward from the ear accentuate and further enhance the curled ear.
The ideal American Curl is a medium sized, alert animal with an elegant appearance and a sweet, open expression complimented by their remarkable ears. Both longhair and shorthair Curls have soft, silky coats, but the longhair Curl has the distinction of sporting a beautiful plumed tail. Because both coat lengths have minimal undercoat resulting in non-matting hair, grooming an American Curl is easy -- an occasional bath and combing is all that is needed. Care should be taken when handling the ears to avoid breaking the cartilage -- do not force the ear into unnatural positions.
The Curl's temperament is one of curiosity and companionship. Being very people-oriented, they like to assist in all household projects and delight in "bumping heads" with their owners or new human acquaintances. Curls are even tempered and intelligent, yet they retain their kitten-type behavior throughout their adult life. Not overly talkative, the Curls will tell you when they need something or desire attention. American Curls easily adapt to almost any home situation and adjust to other animals remarkably well. Simply stated, they are extremely affectionate and absolutely ear-resistible!
Pricing of American Curls usually depends on each individual kitten's degree of curl, bloodlines, type and markings. Many breeders allow pickup of new kittens between 3 and 4 months of age. Along with reaching their permanent degree of curl by 4 months, kittens have had basic inoculations and developed the physical and social stability to adjust to a new environment. Four months is also the minimum age requirement for cat show participation and transportation of kittens by air.
I have a little photos of them,enjoy it.. :D

Tabby Cat

The tabby cat has a definite pattern to it's fur. This patterns is usually stripes, swirls or dots. This pattern of cat coat goes back to the cat's wildcat ancestors. This pattern shows up in many breeds of cats, making tabby not an actual breed in itself. These cats also have a typical "M" mark on their forehead.

Types of Tabby Patterns

• Classic

This pattern usually has whorls ending in a "target" on the side of the cat. Many American Shorthair cats demonstrate this pattern. The cat pictured in this chart has very high color contrast, which shows his whorls clearly. 

• Mackerel (striped)

This is by far the most common pattern, so much so that some people think it should have received the title "Classic." Mackerel tabbies have striped rings around their tail and legs, a "necklace" of stripes on the front of their chests, and bands of solid or broken stripes running down the sides of their bodies. They will have the darker color in spots running in two lines across their tummies (called "vest buttons.") The ginger kitten in the chart shows an example of broken stripes. You can click on the image to see a larger version. The same cat (our Jaspurr) is shown above as an adult. 

• Spotted

The Ocicat and the American Bobtail are good examples of spotted tabby pattern, although some Moggies will also demonstrate this color pattern. The American Bobtail in the chart illustrates the spotted tabby pattern to perfection. (This cat also illustrates the American Bobtail section of my Breeds Snapshots.) 

• Agouti (Ticked)

 Most tabby cats will have agouti hairs as part of their pattern. If you look closely, you'll see different bands of color down the length of the cat's individual hairs. Cats with an all-ticked pattern almost shimmer in the sunlight, because of the color variation. The Abyssinian in the chart is a classic example of a ticked tabby or agouti pattern.

Hi my friends! ^^
I want to tell you about… The Russian Blue Cat.. enjoy it.. :))
What I love most about the Russian Blue is their green eyes and very soft coats. They are very affectionate cats who don't like to be put off when they want to be petted. They follow me around everywhere, so you almost have to be carefull where you are walking so you don't step on them. If you like working on your computer, you will find them wanting to sit on your lap as you work, that is if you can.
Even though you may have the female fixed, she may mark you as her own with a very pungent scent, enough where you have to change your clothes and/or shower. My female has retained her habit of kneading, and it is at this time that she normally marks.
They love to sleep under the covers close to me on cold nights, and when they want to eat they sure let you know about it.
 They hate car rides, and both ends are working after a mile away from the house. When I had them as kittens I got into the habit of giving them water baths. They don't like it still, but they don't fight me as much. The female just takes it and is very quiet, but the male lets out such howls! I do not bathe them during the winter months so they don't get sick, but once the weather warms up I use a flea and tick soap on them.
If you move around a lot then getting a Russina Blue may not be a good idea. They like one place. In the past I had boarded them, but getting them there was a terrible experience, so now a friend comes in to check on them daily while I am away. Don't be surprised if you see blankets or other objects out of place or in other rooms. These cats are really strong and extremely intelligent. I've had my male Russian Blue drag an 18-pound bag of dry cat food out from the closet.
Think twice before you get another cat. I adopted an American Shorthair, and it took some time before the Blues accepted her. Even still, every now and then they avoid her. However, there are times I find all three of them sleeping together.
It is not a good idea to have these cats with younger children. They are an adult cat, but that is not to say they won't try to get along with children. If you want to make sure they are an indoor ca,t don't start letting them out. Once they get the feel for the outdoors they will sit at the door until you open it and shoot out like a bullet. Never hit or yell at them so if they do get out they won't run away from you. When I gt out after mine and call them, they slowly walk back over to me.
If they start getting onto your cabinets, use a spray water bottle. They quickly get the message, but you have to keep at it all the time.
