The color of the British cat Whiskas: features of color and subtleties of grooming

These curious faces of kittens in the Whiskas cat food advertisement are impossible to forget. Both young children and adults search the Whiskas cat breed on the Internet and in kennels thanks to the ad of the same name. I do not want to disappoint you, but such a breed of cats does not exist. In the Whiskas cat food ad, carefully selected British Shorthair seals and cats are shot.

The first mention of this breed dates back to the year 43 AD during the landing of legionaries on the coast of Britain. In 1982, after a long selection, standards for this breed were approved. A cat of the British breed is a large, muscular animal with a wide chest, with a chic short and thick coat. The head is large and round, on a short powerful neck. Eye color is amber-yellow, emerald, blue, they are surrounded by a dark border.

By nature they are calm, balanced, flexible, affectionate, friendly aristocrats. They love people and are well suited both to single people and families with children.

The subspecies and colors of this breed are diverse. With good care, they can live up to 20 years.

The color of the animals that appear in commercials is called tabby. This color has several varieties.

• Tiger Tabby - in the form of frequent, narrow, disjoint strips throughout the body of the animal. On the legs and tail, the pattern is in the form of rings, and on the neck there is a “shirt-front”.
• Spotted Tabby - color in the form of circles and ovals, randomly located on the sides and back, contrasting with the lighter coat. Fur seals are very similar to leopards.
• Marble Tabby - the color on the sides has clearly defined curls, rings, circles, and from the withers to the tail the color is in the form of a dark strip. The neck and tail are decorated with rings.
• Ticked tabby characterized by a color that smoothly transitions from one monochromatic hue to another, without a pattern. On the neck is allowed "shirt shirt" or stripes.

The main features of Whiskas cats are as follows:

• with silver-black marble and tiger colors, which are very contrasting and look good in advertising;
• dark rimmed orange or yellow eyes and nose;
• three continuous lines on the back;
• a pattern on the forehead in the form of the letter "M";
• there is a white speck on the back of the ear.

If the cat knows where his toilet is, both the owner and the pet will be happy.

Another important issue is filler. For some cats, to satisfy their instinct, it is simply necessary, but there are those who do not need it. In the process of meeting you, of course, you will find out, but it is better to immediately get a filler. The best option is in granules. All that is dirty, you just need to remove with a spatula. Sand, of course, is cheaper for this purpose, but think about the cleanliness of the pet and the cleanliness of your home.

British cats are very clean and love to lick and clean themselves. They need help where they cannot get it. Namely, in cleaning the inner surface of the ears from sulfur and eyes with clean cotton swabs. It is recommended to bathe cats in warm water no more than 1 time in 3 months special shampoo for shorthair cats. You can use dry shampoo. Claws should be cut as they grow.

Teach a cat to the comb slowly: don’t scare, don’t hurt, don’t squeeze. Talk to him - explain what you are doing.. It is better to choose a comb with rounded edges or natural bristles. You need to comb once a week, and when molting every day. And as a result, it will bring incredible pleasure to both you and the cat. If strong molting has suddenly begun, consult your veterinarian; this is not typical for this breed.

The British Shorthair is full-bodied. With animals you need to play and monitor their nutrition. According to the recommendations of veterinarians, they should be fed with high-quality food in certain portions. Feed and canned food from different manufacturers should not be mixed with each other. It is necessary to add vitamin-mineral complexes to food. Access to clean drinking water should be continuous.

The British Shorthair is considered a healthy and hardy breed. Vaccinations begin at the age of 8-12 weeks and are entered in the veterinary passport. Helminthiasis is prevented once every six months. Any discharge from the eyes, ears, anus, bad breath - an occasion to go to the veterinarian. If you take care and monitor the status of your cat - he will delight you for many years.
