Cat Care

The basic classification of the breeds is into groups based on coat length. There are thus longhairs and shorthairs. The longhairs comprise two quite distinct types.

A fat cat is not a healthy cat. If your cat is overweight, ask your vet for advice on a slimming diet. It could be that you are overfeeding your cat, or your cat may be tricking your neighbours into supplying extra meals! Like humans, some cats put on weight because they have a lazy lifestyle. Indoor cats especially need plenty of play.

Cats need cat food! Dog food or household scraps do not contain the high level of animal protein they need - and even milk upsets many cat's stomachs. For a healthy diet, choose either canned cat food, fresh meat or cooked fidh. Make sure there's always fresh water, too.

By interbreeding with these basic stocks, all present-day domestic cats have been produced. Whem a major mutation is transferred from one breed to another, or if it is an independent or new mutation, this will result in a new breed. For instance, a longhaired Siamese is called a Balinese, and a longhaired Abyssinian is a Somali. However, when the Persian was crossed with the Siamese, the result became known as a Himalayan.When the American Shorthair is crossed with the Burmese, the resulting cat is called a Bombay.

Kittens in a pet shop window are tempting, but it is safer and kinder to collect from its breeder. Caring breeders do not sell to pet shops. A stay in a pet shop between homes is unsetting for a baby animal, and exposes it to a wide range of germs.

Loose hairs get swallowed when a cat licks its coat, and can build up in the stomach. There's no need to worry unless your pet can not get rid of its fur balls. If you pot the danger signs of a dry cough and loss of appetite, head for the vet. But remember, prevention is better than cure: regular brushing means fewer dead hairs for your cat to swallow.
