The Amazing Cat



 

We all know that cats are loving and truly wonderful creatures.  These days, it isn’t out of the ordinary to see a cat in virtually every other home, sleeping in the window or cuddling up on the laps of their owners.  Although cats have been popular pets for as long as most can remember, they weren’t domesticated less than 5,000 years or so ago.  Domestication took place in the valley of the Nile, which is what research tells us today.

 

In the beginning, people were very grateful to cats and encouraged them to stay with them by feeding them various scraps of food.  Once they were fed and perceived humans to be no threat, the cats would move in permanently with their human owners.  As time went by, even the wildest of cat would allows humans to approach him, often times even hold and touch as well.

 

In those days, cats were very loyal and endearing pets.  They proved to be great hunters, as they done their sleeping in short periods and were much easier to wake up than dogs.  Cats also have better night vision than dogs, and much better hearing as well.  If someone moved through the house or if they heard suspicious noises, they would wake while dogs would sleep right through it.  Humans loved having cats around, and they seemed to get along good with dogs as well.

 

These days, cats are used for both companionship and show.  They aren’t used much at all for hunting mice and rodent anymore at all.  There are a lot of breeds available, from the traditional alley cat to the well known Siamese.  All breeds are unique in their own way, and will provide you with years of companionship if you take care of them.

 

Before you get a kitten or older cat, you’ll first want to examine the source.  If you are getting the kitten from a breeder, you’ll want to make sure that the breeder has a reputable reputation.  You’ll also want to ensure that the cattery is clean and in good shape.  The kittens that are still there shouldn’t be overcrowded, and their surroundings should be clean.  The litter boxes there should be kept up and both the food and water dish should be clean and full.  The kittens shouldn’t be caged, instead free to run around.  All cats that are there should appear healthy, with shiny coats and none of their ribs showing.

 

When you get your kitten, it should be used to being touched and handled.  The kitten should be sweet, not afraid in the least.  Kittens that have been handled young normally have a better temperament.  The better breeders won’t allow their kittens to leave the nest until they are around 12 weeks old, with some waiting until the kittens are 16 weeks.  By doing this, breeders ensure that the kitten is in good health and his immune system has properly developed.

 

There’s no mistaken the fact that cats are great to own.  You can get a kitten from a reputable breeder, through a local newspaper, or an adoption agency.  Cats can also be obtained from a local pound, although people normally don’t like to choose this option.  No matter which way you decide to pursue, you should always make sure that your cat is healthy.  If you get a healthy cat, you won’t have a lot of problems later on down the road.  Healthy cats were taken care of – and normally have everything up to date – including their vaccinations.

The three biggest cat breeds!

 





The three biggest cat breeds, based on average size and weight, are:

  1. Maine Coon: The Maine Coon is one of the largest domesticated cat breeds. Males typically weigh between 13 to 18 pounds, while females usually range from 8 to 12 pounds. Some Maine Coons can grow even larger, with record-breaking individuals weighing over 20 pounds. Known for their gentle and friendly nature, Maine Coons have tufted ears, bushy tails, and a thick, water-repellent coat.




  1. Ragdoll: Ragdolls are large, muscular cats with a semi-longhair coat and striking blue eyes. Males typically weigh between 15 to 20 pounds, while females usually range from 10 to 15 pounds. Ragdolls are known for their relaxed and affectionate temperament, often going limp like a ragdoll when picked up, which is how they got their name.






  1. Savannah: The Savannah cat is a hybrid breed resulting from the crossbreeding of a domestic cat with the serval, a wild African cat. Savannahs are tall and lean with a distinctive spotted coat and large, upright ears. Males can weigh between 12 to 25 pounds, with some individuals reaching even higher weights. Savannahs are known for their intelligence, athleticism, and playful nature.

How To Train Your Kitten to live with pet birds?

 


Training a kitten to live peacefully with pet birds requires patience, positive reinforcement, and careful supervision. Here are some steps and tips to help you introduce your kitten to pet birds:

  1. Start with Observation:
    • Allow your kitten to observe the birds from a safe distance. Use a sturdy and secure perch for the birds, ensuring they are out of the kitten's reach.
    • This helps the kitten get used to the presence and movements of the birds without direct interaction.
  1. Positive Association:
    • Use positive reinforcement to create a positive association between the kitten and the birds. Reward your kitten with treats or praise when they exhibit calm behavior around the birdcage.
    • Reward the kitten for sitting or lying down calmly in the presence of the birds.
  1. Gradual Introduction:
    • Gradually bring the kitten closer to the birdcage over time. Monitor the kitten's behavior and body language.
    • If the kitten shows signs of stress or excessive excitement, take a step back and increase the distance between the kitten and the birds.
  1. Supervised Interactions:
    • Allow supervised interactions between the kitten and birds. This can be done with the kitten on a leash or harness for added control.
    • Keep interactions short initially and gradually increase the duration as the kitten becomes more accustomed to the birds.
  1. Basic Commands:
    • Train your kitten with basic commands such as "sit" and "stay." This can be useful for controlling the kitten's behavior around the birds.
    • Use treats and positive reinforcement to reward good behavior and compliance with commands.
  1. Provide Safe Spaces:
    • Ensure that the birds have safe spaces within their cage where they can retreat if they feel threatened. This helps them feel more secure.
    • Provide elevated perches and hiding spots for the birds to use.
  1. Discourage Aggressive Behavior:
    • If the kitten displays any signs of aggression or predatory behavior, redirect their attention to a toy or treat.
    • Use a firm "no" and discourage any attempts to swat at or pounce on the birds.
  1. Consistent Training:
    • Consistency is key. Be patient and consistent in your training efforts. Reinforce positive behavior and discourage undesirable actions consistently.
  1. Monitor Body Language:
    • Learn to interpret the body language of both the kitten and the birds. Be aware of signs of stress or fear in either pet.
    • If any signs of stress are observed, separate the kitten from the birds and try to identify the cause.
  1. Safe Environments:
    • Ensure that the birdcage is secure and cannot be easily knocked over. Keep potentially harmful items, such as toxic plants or small objects, out of reach of both the kitten and birds.

Always prioritize the safety of both the kitten and the birds. If you have any concerns or if the introduction process is challenging, consult with a veterinarian or a professional animal behaviorist for guidance. Additionally, keep in mind that individual animals may have different temperaments, and the success of the introduction process may vary.
