Modern Cat

Early research done on cats behavior has allowed us have a better understanding of these animals. Progress in animal medicine and the rising efforts in favor of animal and wildlife protection helps diminish the disaster of uncontrollable cat reproduction. Vaccines protect cats from diseases.

The number of domestics cats has increased remarkably. Also, the organized race cat breeding is constantly growing.

Domestic and pedigreed cats: In all these years, a great diversity of races have been developed. Some from domestic regional cats that lived freely. Although, most of the breeds have been developed by random (for example. When in a den one finds a special long hair cat , one would proceed the breeding with this exemplary).

In part, characteristics that should be considered as genetic defects, where used as elements to constitute a new race so, for example, in a variety of Persian cats, the so called peke-face, the almost absolute absence of facial skull causes dangerous problems of health, as respiratory disturbances, shedding of tears and difficulties in admitting foods. In Germany there are laws that prohibit the developing of this type of tortured whelps.

Although, most of the races are rather pretty and have preserved most of mountain cats original elegance, followed, in many cases by an affable character and a friendly behavior towards men.

What type of cat is adequate for you: Cats have an unpredictable personality, that not always adapts to the wishes of their owners. Only if the owners accept this reality, will they develop a relationship based on friendliness and harmony for them to live together.

Characteristics of cats: In first race, it is important to take a look to the ways of life of our domestic cat´s ancestor, the lion .

The lion, like cat, stays most of the time in its hunting area. There, he has to find its food, peace and places to rest enough time. Because there are other cats competing for the same vital necessities, they must be expelled, except during the period of coupling and raising whelps. Domestic cats and those of race, also have these hereditary structures. But, its instincts in defending the hunting zones are not so emphasized.

Due to some specific hereditary characteristics, many domestic and race cats behave as young animals, often, until advanced ages. It is this fact, upon all, that makes it possible for them to develop a special social relation with its owners. However, a cat lover has to have into account the wild inheritance of his cat if he wants to have a good relation with him.
