Cat breeds and names

A cat breed is an infrasubspecific rank for the classification of domestic cats. A cat is considered to be of a certain cat breed if it is true breeding for the traits that define that breed. Various cat registries around the world record and certify the pedigrees. Only three percent of owned cats belong to a cat breed, and an even smaller percentage of those are suitable as show cats. A registration certificate proves that a cat belongs to a cat breed by showing the cat’s pedigree back to at least four generations. The whole concept of cat breeds is a relatively new one. Two hundred years ago there was no such thing, however today there are almost one hundred cat breeds . Varieties of domestic cat can also be identified by characteristics other than breed.

Learn about the many different types of cat breeds. Here you can research each of the cat breeds , and discover about their looks, temperaments, behavior and more. There are also pictures of all the cat breeds and links to cat breeders.

When a new cat or kitten comes into your life, one of your first tasks is to pick out a name. Pet names can be fun because you can be as creative or as ordinary as you like. Unlike with babies, you don’t have to worry about whether to give your cat an uncommon or a popular name. As long as you set out food, the cat could care less what name is engraved on the bowl! Here are some suggestions to help give your sweet new feline friend a terrific moniker.

As a general rule, pet owners tend to give their animals names they would give themselves or their children. Surveys show that more than half of all pet names are either human names or nicknames. Not so with cats. Cats are more often given traditional cat names , perhaps because they have a reputation for doing their own thing, and this tends to makes them mysterious. As every cat “owner” knows, nobody owns a cat.

Kitten food

You can offer your kitten either dry food, canned food, or both. Be sure to choose food which is designed for kittens. They require a diet which is especially rich in protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Cat food that is for adults is not sufficient. Your young cat will need the enhanced kitten food until he or she is a year old. Young kittens need to eat every few hours, because their tummies are so small. I like to feed them canned food several times a day but also have a bowl of dry food available for them to munch on whenever they wish.

Cat food affects your pet’s life, not just during those few moments when she’s eating, but for every hour of every day. Cat food regulates the healthy growth of her fur, the supple movement of her joints, the function of her kidneys and other internal organs-even the length of her lifespan.

Choosing the best cat food is one of the first and most important decisions you will make for your cat. Feeding good quality food will enhance your cat’s health and longevity. There are dozens of types and brands to choose from, and trying to choose the right cat food can be overwhelming. Here are some tips to help you choose the best food for your cat!

Kittens, especially, will sleep for most of the day and when they awake, they will play wildly. cat sleep is necessary for regeneration of energy, growth and well being. Kittens undergo rapid growth spurts and their sleep is as vital as their nutrition during this important time.

Sleep is a vital part of a cat’s life. Proper attention to the sleeping needs of your cat will ensure that he grows, develops and matures in a satisfactory manner.

While the cat mating motor is always revving, the queen only ovulates when in season.  In nature, females come into season during the winter solstice, as daylight and temperatures increase, giving birth 60 to 65 days later when food is most abundant. In controlled cat colonies, with 14 hours of light, 10 hours of darkness and constant temperatures, female cats will breed year-round.

The queen is able to bear young as early as 7 months of age and is fertile until 7 to 9 years of age. She will go into heat multiple times during the breeding season from January or February to October or November.

What makes cats unique among companion animals is that once in season, or heat, they are induced to release eggs from the ovary by the physical act of mating.  This is called reflex ovulation and is nature’s way of making sure that sperm and egg are most likely to meet.  This is also why queens stay in heat (estrus) for 2 to 19 days.

To survive in nature, it is necessary for cats to mate multiple times by the same or different partners. In fact, studies show that cats that copulate once get pregnant only 50 percent of the time.
