The most beautiful cats: the best breeds

The life of a modern person cannot be imagined without many things. Now the Internet, smartphones, beautiful clothes, gourmet food, apartments and much more have become important. From time immemorial, one thing remains unchanged. But this is one thing and can’t be called a thing - these are pets. Pets were appreciated at any time in any country. Somewhere they were even worshiped and worshiped to this day. For example, in India, a cow is a sacred animal, in China - a tiger, in Thailand - an elephant.

People kept and contain a variety of exotic animals. And what is the most popular animal in Russia? Of course, there are two species - dogs and cats.

And given that we live in the modern world, among the simplest, but certainly sweetest breeds, there are those with the sight of the beauty of which you simply die.

Of course, it is impossible to single out the most beautiful breed, given that now, according to conservative estimates, there are thousands of them, but you can still try comparing all the polls and ratings. Intentionally, the article will not give place to different types of cats, since each cat is good in its own way. The color, grace, charm, eyes, coat size, even for representatives of the same breed - are different.

Unusual name for the same unusual representative of the cat world. She is distinguished from an ordinary cat by character traits, as it is suitable even for avid dog lovers. The fact is that burmese is loyal and easy to train. The commands “sit”, “lie”, “bring” - all this she can easily do after a short training course.As you know, cats are very wayward animals, and certainly proud. But it is Burmese that contradicts all these statements. In addition, she is insanely beautiful and looks like a panther. She always needs a company, and she perfectly tolerates trips in transport. Her eyes have a stunning golden tint, and the hair is shiny.

An amazing view and structure has Cornish Rex. The fact is that he is a descendant of the same Egyptian breed of cats. But taking into account their characteristics, not everyone likes Egyptian cats, and not everyone is ready to have them at home. Cornish Rex is really very similar to Egyptian, but unlike its congener, it has a harsh, short-touch coat, which most often has a noble gray color. He has big ears and an elongated stately body. He is not thin, his physique is very in harmony with big ears, as well as big eyes. He is also very thermophilic. It is possible that his battery or lamp will become his favorite place in the apartment. They are also very smart.

Those whom you can definitely say that they are cute kittens. It is kittens, since exotics have huge eyes, large ears, but a very compact body. The combination of these factors makes you think all your life that you have a kitten, and not an adult cat. Exotics add frequent purr and incredible tenderness to the owner to their cute image.

These are not only beautiful animals, but also one of the largest cat breeds on Earth. Their weight can reach 20 kg, and their height (in length) is 1.2 meters! All over the world, Maine Coon owners are proud of their furry inhabitants of apartments and houses. His coat, in spite of its fluffiness and beauty, needs minimal care. This breed combes itself and does not allow lumps to form. True, help would not be superfluous. In Russia, the largest representative is considered to be the cat Adam, which is 117 cm tall. And the handsome man from the USA named Stuy set the world record. His height was 123 cm.

Another representative of the cat world with dog thinking. Their unique color is similar to a cheetah. And unlike most breeds of cats, these cats have absolutely no dislike for water, but, on the contrary, they run into it themselves.

The most popular cat breed in the world. You can not ignore these slightly lazy couch potatoes. The fact is that Persian cats love to sleep. Their sleep can take 18 hours out of having 24. Now there are more than 100 varieties of Persians, diverse in color, length of coat, eye color. Even their "signature" snub nose is now not found in all representatives of the breed.

Not to be confused with burmese. Absolutely different species, just with very similar names. Monks brought Burma to Asia. These cats are very similar to each other in coat color and eye color. All of them have a penetrating blue color of the iris, and the coat has an average length and is always light and soft to the touch.

Once this species was exclusively white in color and had multi-colored eyes. Over time, everything changed a little, but the beauty of the breed remained unchanged. The breed was bred from the wild feline, but completely domesticated and turned into an affectionate miracle, which remains the favorite cat of the Turks. From this cat you can rarely hear the usual “meow”. She likes to communicate very interesting sounds without opening her mouth. Snow-white color, although rarely found, but still it is.

A relatively recently bred cat breed, which is famous for two features at once. Firstly, they are exactly like lynxes, but only several times smaller. And secondly, they have a very short tail by nature. The name came just from this phenomenon, because the translation of the name of the breed is “short-tailed elf”.

On the planet there are many domestic representatives of the cat family, which look like small predators. One of such representatives is toyger. The name itself speaks for itself - a tiger. Its light orange coat and black stripes look so natural that you can even confuse it with a real tiger cub. Of course, he will not grow to a tiger size, since its maximum weight is only 6 kg, but having such beauty at home is a pleasure. Besides their beauty, toygers are infinitely smart, muscular and very playful.

One of the most furry thoroughbred cats. It has a beautiful long coat of grayish tint, and the framing of her neck is snowy white. It is very similar to Maine Coon, but it has its own unique image, which is not found in any breed of cats in the world. She is very proud, but at the same time she will not let herself be bored due to the fact that she does not like keen attention to her person. This breed cannot be called affectionate, but it can be confidently called friendly. Easy to get along with other feline representatives. Does not recognize hugs and kisses, but respects scratching.

A "round" pet. It has a very cute muzzle, chubby cheeks, a round basin and a thick coat. One of the distinguishing features is the complete absence of a tail. The tail is the strongest expresser of emotions, but the lack of it in the menks does not mean that this breed cannot express itself. On the contrary, they are emotional, like to play and swim. And thanks to their powerful muscular legs, cats of this breed can perfectly jump both in height and in length.

This is really the name of the breed. Of course, the breed was bred by crossing, but the child of this crossing turned out to be amazing. It has a thick beautiful coat and very short paws.

They were deduced by the relations of the Munchkins and Persians. And the genes of these cats, when combined, often mutate and form various diseases. In addition to short paws, the cat has a very small muzzle, which gives it charm. However, with regards to the paws, there is also a view called Napoleon Classic. This subspecies has quite ordinary paws.

And this breed is not just very beautiful, it is also truly exclusive and insanely expensive. The look of this cat combines all the features of domestic and predatory cats. This can be understood only by the look of this lovely creature. Dad and mom became her ordinary domestic cat and Asian leopard.

True, the cost of such a pet can reach $ 100,000.

Just as the most beautiful breed cannot be called unequivocally, the most beautiful color cannot be unequivocally called. The taste and color, as they say. Different colors say a lot not only about the breed and character of the pet, but also about the tastes of the owner.

Practically unexplained color. Everything is simple. In another way, the color can be called plain. This means that all the hairs on the skin have exactly the same shade and there are no deviations from the roots and from the tips. Otherwise, we will talk about the lack of coloring. In this color, even thin strips, overflows or spots are excluded.

In addition to the fur, the eyelids, pads on the paws, and the nose should be monophonic.

But white pets do not have this color. Explanation - they are colorless, that is, by nature are devoid of any color pigment. If a white cat has at least a couple of spots or a slight tint of beige or gray, then it is no longer considered white and plain.

The name is unusual, as is the color itself. But it is found in nature very often. Tabby is called such a color that adorns the wool with a pattern. Most often, it looks like a coloring of predators such as a cheetah, tiger, lynx and other feline representatives. In addition, all kinds of patterns can be seen on the fur coat: hearts, circles, and much more. On the face, starting from the forehead, there is always a pattern that comes from the nose itself. Failed eyes and bright cheekbones - this is what nature and tabby tried.

The color of the tabby is divided into several types.

• Mackerel or brindle. Many stripes throughout the body. Their color may be different.

• Marble. Wide randomly spaced stripes along and across form a marble effect. Interesting patterns may appear.

• Spotted color. This is the color of a real cheetah. The spots are located on the body and face of the cat. In rare cases, they almost form strips, but still a gap is visible between them.

• Ticked Tabby. Under such a complex name hides a very unusual beauty color. He does not have a definite pattern, but the remains of the stripes are visible on his face. But the hair on the body is colored unevenly, as if she had an ombre.

If the ticked tabby still has stripes on it, then the shaded color can be called a real cat ombre. The hairs are not, as it were, slightly brought to the ideal, but nevertheless, cats - owners of this beauty - look really rich. Most often, the British breed and Persian cats are lucky with this color.

This also includes the subsection color - silver. Here a pattern is created, thanks to the differently colored tips of the hairs. The base of the hair is very light or almost white.

Smoked and smoky colors can be attributed to the shaded color.

Smoky color refers to a colorless uniform base and, from about the middle, hair of a different color. With this pattern, while walking, the wool begins to diverge on the sides, forming the effect of “walking smoke”.

Anti-smoky colors are less common. In this case, the wool from the root is dyed in one color, and the tip itself is white.

In other words, it is zoned dyed wool. Zones are always the same: tail, “boots” on the legs, muzzle, ears.

But, in addition to such basic schemes, some types of cats have their own names for color points. For example, burmese trees already known to us are called lilac, chocolate, sable and others.

This is a kind of color. As mentioned above, the white color of the hair is a pigment-free area of ​​the cat, which is called colorless. However, it is impossible not to separate it into a separate subspecies. To be literate, the name will be "with white." Why is this happening? Wool in this case can have any color, for example, red. It can have any pattern, say, a tabby. But among all this, it will be possible to easily see the white spots. Such a description would sound like "red-and-white tabby." Even if the predominant color of the cat’s hair is white, the postscript will still remain unchanged.

And this color can combine all of the above colors. Its colors can range from smoky to ginger and from cream to purple. Shaded, silver, point - all this can be a tortoise color.

Choosing a kitten is a very important task. Most people choose a cat to live together and to take care of him.But some people specifically take a cat to participate in various competitions. The most important thing is to look at the future pet and understand that this is your animal. Beauty does not recede into the background, but all people like different breeds. Let’s try to find out what the features of the kitten about him can say.

It is believed that cats love hosts more than cats. Indeed, this is partly true. But there are exceptions to any rule. It is impossible to say which of them is more affectionate. Again, it all depends on the breed, because there are absolutely awkward, brutal breeds, but there are, on the contrary, those that do not get off the knees of your beloved master.

The color of the eyes of kittens is almost always the same and it is difficult to choose a particular cat without knowing what eyes will be in the future. However, if you know the peculiarity of the breed, then you can safely assume an approximate shade. For example, Burmese will necessarily have a shade with gold, Thai will have exceptionally blue, and Siamese will have bright blue, less often blue.

Eye color may fade with age. And it is installed in the right color by about a year. The landmark of a cat in the dark also depends on the color of the eyes. Green-eyed pets are best seen, blue-eyed are worse.

The tail, its length and shape also matter. The tail is a continuation of the spine, which is why you should not step on it in any case. Also, the tail of a cat is its mood and state of health. Pay attention when choosing a kitten that the tail is not shabby and freely “walks” on the sides.

There can not be said unequivocally. Thoroughbred cats are often more intelligent. They are easier to accustom to the tray, to explain that tearing furniture is ugly, to prohibit jumping onto the bed. At the same time, purebred cats are less whimsical to feed, care and even filler.

Cats with a pedigree have fewer diseases or are completely absent. In the case of cats from the yard, this is unknown. And if there are already pets at home, a purebred cat can infect them.

And here you can immediately make a reservation that in domestic cats immunity is many times stronger than thoroughbred cats.

Pedigree cats can be chosen unusual and very interesting in appearance. Short legs, big ears, narrow eyes, long hair. Yards are usually not chosen, but turned on "at the request of the soul."

Whatever the kitten - thoroughbred or yard - it must not be taken before 10 weeks of age. They, like children, have unformed immunity up to this age and depend on their mother for their nutrition. At this age, the kitten gets better used to extraneous noise of the apartment, such as a vacuum cleaner, washing machine and more. And to accustom him to the tray at this age is easier.

• The cat must be active. Again, this speaks of his health.
• The cat should eat well. Of course, given the stress that new people took him to a new place, his appetite may be slightly impaired, but not for long.
• All hair (body, ears, eyes, mustache) should be whole, soft and beautiful. Deviations can be caused by a deficiency of vitamins.
• It should be dry under the tail.
• If you have chosen a particular breed, think about whether you can provide it with all the conditions for living. After all, some breeds are particularly finicky.
• Buying a kitten or taking it for free is also a task. Most often, they give for nothing either domestic fur seals, or purebred, or adults. And the most common reason is an allergy in a child.If you still decide to take a cat from a year old, then keep in mind that he can behave very wayward with you, and may not get along at all.
• The best purebred kittens are sold at various exhibitions. Such exhibitions are held in any city. You can come to admire, learn all the rules of caring for a particular breed, look at the pedigree of a cat and even see how he behaves with other kittens.

Well, now that the breed of the kitten is determined, the kitten itself is selected, and he is healthy and beautiful, you need to learn all the rules for caring for him. And then the kitten will grow into a beautiful “lion” and will delight you and your family with its cute antics for many years.

These include: tray, filler, spatula, bowls for food and water, food for kittens, scratching post, bed for sleeping, furminator, scissors for a cat, scaring and accustoming spray, carrying. Everything in order in more detail.

They are different - with mesh, open and closed.

Mesh tray It does not imply a filler, but it is not very convenient, since the smell is not absorbed anywhere, and if you leave home, then even more the smell will be in the atmosphere of the apartment.

An open regular tray involves filler. This tray has sides, thanks to them, the filler does not fall out of the tank when burying the “case” with a cat. True, if this is done very actively, then the sides will save a lot.

The third type is a closed toilet. This is a toilet with a roof. The most expensive, but the most convenient. A filler is poured inside, through the door a kitten enters to cope with needs. When instilled, the filler will not go outside the toilet, and the odor will not go through the apartment.

There are several types: clumping, absorbing and locking. Of course, you will choose the one that suits you, but the kitten may not appreciate the choice and refuse to go to it. Most often this happens with absorbent fillers. And in most cases, these are woody inexpensive fillers, which in 90% of cases will not be liked by thoroughbred cats, and in 50% by yard.

There is no particular philosophy. From any bowl, any pets drink and eat perfectly, whether it is a golden bowl or a cup made from a used sour cream can.

Here you need to consult with specialists. A huge number of brands and varieties are now on the market. There are gentle and medicinal feeds, there are greasy, for choosy, short-haired; with chicken flavor, with the taste of vegetables, with cream ... The veterinarian will advise you on the choice of food for your pet. But you can consult a pet store, people associated with animals often work there.

The kitten has claws from the first weeks of life. They are thin and soft, but over time they only grow stronger and grow. Even if you cut them, the cat will still want to sharpen its claws about something. In this case, the claw-point will become the furniture conservation assistant. Here you can already pick it up to the color of furniture and the size of the apartment. There are claws that form whole locks in shape, but there are compact ones that neatly stand in the corner. Many clawpaws have a place to rest a cat.

Although, most often, they themselves understand its purpose and begin to sharpen their claws.

Such a terrible word means just a comb. It has thin iron teeth, often located on the surface. The furminator is needed not only for cats with lush hair, but also for short-haired cats. Just the second you need to use it less often.

Firstly, so that there is less wool in the apartment, well, and secondly, so that the wool does not lump.

They are needed so that the kitten knows where to go, what to not touch, and what, on the contrary, is at his disposal. If intimidating sprays can be sprayed in the apartment all the undesirable habitats of the pet, then it is better for the accustomed to spray the tray, since it accustoms it to the toilet.

These are the most basic points with which you need to meet a kitten. And now we turn to the main components of care, which will be needed not only at a meeting and at the first time of a pet’s life at home.

• Once every six months, it is advisable to visit a veterinarian for the purpose of prevention. If you visit a private clinic and think that the appointment is expensive, think about it - a sudden treatment will be more expensive both financially and morally.

• I want to return to nutrition again. In no case give the kitten food from the table. You have your own wholesome food - he has his own. If you still could not resist, then you can give a little yolk from a hard-boiled egg, kefir, beef and boneless chicken, boiled or raw vegetables.

• Do not forget to cut the cat's nails, but only very carefully so as not to damage the capillary located under the nail plate. It usually shines through the nail.

• Clean the kitten's ears so that they do not have ear mites, and drip from the worms every six months. Also, once a year, preferably in autumn, drip a flea remedy at the withers, even if the cat is a homebody. You can always accidentally bring these parasites "on their feet" from the street. They are not afraid of you, but the cat is very unpleasant.

• Once a month, buy special sausages, which are not only tasty, but also a natural toothbrush.

You must be prepared for this period in the life of a kitten, and you must also be patient. A small kitten who still does not understand anything came to a new house, to a new family. Before that, he saw only his mother and another owner, and then someone is new. For almost any breed, moving is stress. The kitten adapts to new conditions within 3 weeks.

Every day you need to play with your baby. So he will quickly get used to your hands, and confidence will arise. Just remember that during the game you can not use aggression.

If during the adaptation period the kitten tore your slipper, “went” the wrong way, be sure to scold him, but not with anger. He still does not understand anything. Report it with strict intonation, you can take it at the withers, but just do not raise your hand at it! This can never be done.

If there are children at home, then explain to them that the kitten is smaller and weaker than them. That is why it is not necessary to drag the poor thing by the tail and in any convenient situation in every possible way to scuff him. But playing accurately will be out of place.

Be sure to buy delicious vitamins at the pet store. If the kitten has done something well or right - praise him with a treat. This will benefit health, and over time, the kitten will understand what is good.

Take your time to sterilize or castrate a cat or cat. Sterilization is done before the first estrus. This is about 8 months old. And castration can be done up to a year. You can later, but this is if your cat behaves well in relation to furniture, you and other animals - the inhabitants of the house.

Well and most importantly, remember: any pet is, first of all, responsibility. Think more than once, are you ready to take care of the kitten? Are you ready to put up with wounded wallpapers and territory marking? Compare the pros and cons. Do family members living with you want to get an animal? And will the other four-legs of your house get along with a new resident?

No matter how beautiful and incomparable a kitten is, it will require attention. And the more thoroughbred he is, the more attention should be given.If you survive the first six months, then it will be much easier further.
