The cat (Felis catus), also known as the domestic cat or house cat to distinguish it from other felines and felids, is a small predatory carnivorous species of crepuscular mammal that is valued by humans for its companionship and its ability to hunt vermin, snakes, scorpion, and other unwanted household pests. It has been associated with humans for at least 9,500 years.
Cats use a variety of vocalizations and types of body language for communication, including meowing, purring, hissing, growling, squeaking, chirping, clicking, and grunting. Cats may be the most popular pet in the world, with over 600 million in homes all over the world.
There are many different types of Cats Breeds, my favorite Breeds are, Persian, Maine Coon , Siamese, Domestic Shorthair and Exotic Shorthair.
Although not recognized
by many, the most popular cats are the domestic
shorthair and
domestic longhair.
They are more commonly considered the feline "mutts" of the world.
The most
popular cat on the planet, the
Persian, is a hairstylist's dream - or nightmare - depending
upon your enthusiasm for fussing with a cat's locks. Undeniably beautiful,
elegant and regal, the Persian is ideal if you want a cat that's sweet, devoted,
docile, affectionate and laid back.
One of the oldest natural breeds in North America, the
Maine Coon is second only to the Persian in
popularity. This made in America breed is prized for its large size, sweet
personality and silky all weather coat.
The
Siamese is the
most universally recognized domestic cat breed on the planet and one of
the oldest, with a history as colorful as the cat herself. These are sleek,
vocal cats with big baby -blue eyes and striking pointed
patterns.
Sometimes called the
lazy person's Persian, the Exotic
has the same body and head type as the Persian nit with a short, easy coat. This
breed is great for those who love the look of the Persian but hate the daily
grooming the breed requires.
