Few people realize how many kinds of cats there are.
The fashionable world begins to discuss cats technically and understand their
various points of excellence.
The 'lord mayor's chain,' the 'Dutch rabbit markings,' and similar features are
understood by more cat fanciers than a few years ago; but, until within that time,
it is doubtful if the number of people who knew the difference between
the Angora and the Persian in this country amounted to a hundred.
It is but a few years since the craze for the Angora cat started.
These cats have been fashionable pets in England for some years back, and now America begins
to understand their value and the principles of breeding them.
Today, there are as handsome, well-bred animals in the United States as can be found abroad.
The demand for high-bred animals with a pedigree is greatly increasing,
and society people are beginning to understand the fine points of the thoroughbred. "

New cat breed A Norwegian Forest Cat
New cat breed A Norwegian Forest Cat
Norwegian Forest Cats are solidly built, with big bodies and long, powerful legs.
Many cat fanciers say the Norwegian reminds them of the Lynx, a wild cat with a similar appearance. This breed's graceful, furry tail is as long as its body and covered in long hair that gives it a elegant appearance.
The head of this cat is triangular and its brilliant green eyes have a slight slant. Overall, the breed looks very alert, instead of having a conventional placid appearance. This cat breed comes in a wide range of colors, including white and black.
You can find the Norwegian in self, tortoiseshell, smoke, tipped, tabby, and silver tabby patterns.
While the Norwegian Forest Cat's thick, long coat looks beautiful, you should be prepared to do a bit of grooming to keep it that way.
You will have to brush this cat's coat out onces a week or your cat may end up with a matted and tangled coat that will need to be shaved off. Since clipping a cat can be quite stressful for him, try to keep his coat free of tangles.

Cat litter
Cat litter
If your cat does not use the cat litter , do not scold him for his accidents. He will just become angry and frustrated. Instead, place the cat litter in the spot where he most frequently has accidents and encourage him to use it. Once your cat uses his cat litter a few times, he should continue to use it. If he stops using the cat litter , be sure it is clean. If the litter box is not dirty, he may have a health problem, so be sure to consult your veterinarian.

Cats Collars
Cats Collars information
However, cats can learn to walk on a leash. In fact, there are collar, harnesses, and leashes designed just for cats.
Cat harnesses are designed to stay securely on a cat, even when the cat is on a leash. You can buy a simple nylon harness for your cat or you can find more deluxe models that look more like padded vests. As long as the harness is completely adjustable, it should work well.
To accustom your cat to walking on a leash, you should not use the same techniques you use to train your dog. Cats do not do well with negative correction, so giving a quick tug on the leash when they do not stay at your side will not teach them to heel. Instead, praise your cat when he does what you want and ignore him when he does the wrong thing. Although you can teach your cat to tolerate a leash, don't expect him to consistently heel on command.

Cats Litter Boxes what you need to know
More information about cats and kittens
What you need to know
For most cat owners, one of the biggest drawbacks of owning a cat is the dreaded cat litter box.
Not many people like to clean litter boxes. They aren't just smelly. Litter can be quite dusty and people that change litter boxes are more vulnerable to some cat diseases that can be caught by humans than people that do not change their cats' litter boxes.
Luckily, there are several news littesr boxes designs that make the task of change cat litter much easier. One popular design is the hooded litter box.
These boxes provide privacy for more sensitive cats, but they also help keep down litter dust. The hooded box is ideal for a single cat, as long as the cat's owners can change the box frequently to keep it smelling clean and fresh. For people who don't want to handle the soiled litter, there are removable liners for these boxes. Simply lift out the whole liner filled with soiled litter and discard it. Lay down a new liner, add fresh cat litter, and replace the lid.
It is fairly easy to teach your kitten to use a litter box. The most important things for you to do are to position the litter box in the right place and to keep it extremely clean. Litter boxes should never be placed next to your cat's sleeping or eating spots, as cats do their best to keep these areas clean.
If your cat does not use the litter box, do not scold him for his accidents. He will just become angry and frustrated. Instead, place the box in the spot where he most frequently has accidents and encourage him to use it.

More information about cats and kittens

It is a mass of hair and food that did not digest that forms inside a cat's body. Loose hair that collects on his tongue when he grooms himself.

These hairballs aren't able to break down and be digested, cats often cough them up to get rid of them.

Training a cat
More info about cats and kittens
Many people are under the mistaken impression that cats are arrogant, moody creatures that will ignore their owners' attempts to train them. They think that cats could obey and choose not to. Although cats do ignore commands because they don't feel like doing what their owners ask, sometimes they are not obeying because they simply do not understand. Training a cat generally takes a lot more time and patience than training a dog. Positive reinforcement works better than negative reinforcement with cats. If you punish them, they will just wait until you are not watching to misbehave, so it is better to simply ignore wrong responses and lavish praise on your cat when he responds correctly.You should start training your cat when he is about eight to ten weeks old. However, if you have an older cat, don't let that stop you. It may be a bit harder to teach him, but old cats can learn new tricks.

Cat Growth Stages
More information about cats and kittens
When a kitten is born, it is hard to believe that one of these helpless little pink things will become a graceful and powerful hunter. However, within a year, that tiny kitten will be a mature cat. Since kittens are born blind and are completely dependent on their mothers, it is no surprise that their first stage involves little more than eating and growing. However, once your kitten's eyes open, he will begin to explore the world around him. By the time he is four weeks old, he will be romping shakily about with his siblings. He can begin to learn to use the litter box and should start to become socialized. In the wild, a kitten's mother will start to supplement his diet with dead mice or other small prey. You may prefer to give him some soft kitten food or some dry food softened in water. By the time your kitten is six to eight weeks old, he is ready to begin exploring a bit further from home. If he is indoors, he will venture into other rooms, while a feral kitten will begin to follow his mother when she goes to hang out with the rest of the local cat colony. While the kitten's mother may still bring him mice, they are no longer already dead. The kitten begins to develop his hunting abilities. Eight week old kittens are usually completely weaned and ready to go to a new home.

Cat Vaccinations
One of the most important things you can do for your cat
is to be sure its health is protected.
Cat vaccinations can protect your cat from many
common cat ailments. You should begin vaccinating your
kitten when he is six to eight weeks old. Before this time,
his mother's antibodies have been protecting him from
many of the diseases that vaccinations protect against.
However, now that he is weaned, he will need to develop
his own antibodies.
On your kitten's first veterinarian visit, your veterinarian
will give him a physical examination. He should also complete a
fecal exam to be sure your kitten doesn't have worms.
Before your veterinarian vaccinates your kitten, he should
do a blood test to be sure the kitten is not already infected
with Feline Leukemia. He may also test for Feline Infectious Peritonitis.
The tests do not take long. Your veterinarian will have preliminary
results in minutes.
If your kitten is not already infected with one of these diseases,
your veterinarian will give your kitten his first Feline Leukemia and
FIP vaccines if he is at risk for these diseases. An only cat who
never leaves his home may not need these two vaccines and your
veterinarian may recommend against giving them.

If you do not have a lot of free time, a cuddly cat who loves attention may be the wrong choice. However, affectionate cats are usually better with children than more reserved breeds. Some of the friendliest cat breeds are the Snowshoe, Abyssinian, Maine Coon, Ragdoll, Tonkinese, and the Himalayan Persian. Less sociable breeds are the Norwegian Forest Cat, the Nebelung, and the Russian Shorthair.
