Choosing a cat or a male cat: how to choose

So, you've decided to get a female cat. But what kind will it be: a pedigree or a standard cat? Choosing a cat isn't easy. Before bringing a kitten home, there are a few important questions to answer.

1. Where will the mustachioed one live: in a cramped apartment or outside the city?
2. How much time can I spend caring for my furry friend?
3. How often will your pet be left alone?

Then we make a list of suitable breeds. Freedom-loving Norwegian Forest and European Shorthair cats aren't suitable for city dwellers. They'll get bored. Ragdolls, however, thrive in apartments. They love people.

Most cats don't tolerate loneliness. If you live alone or work a lot, it's better to get two cats. However, Siamese cats, for example, prefer the company of a beloved owner. Long-haired pets require careful grooming.

Cat's character

Pay attention to the disposition of your future pet.

For those who love friendly company, this is a great choice Selkirk Rexes, Ocicats, and Singapuras. Korats, Nebelungs, and Snowshoes require owners who prefer a more relaxed lifestyle. If you're an inexperienced cat owner, consider a Turkish Angora. They're beautiful and easygoing.

The breed's "talkativeness" is also important. Want your pet to make loud noises? Siamese cats, as well as the rare Sokoke, are considered talkative. Quiet cats include Devon Rexes and Siberian cats.

Don't make mistakes

Choosing a beautiful pet is quite easy. Considering the cat's personality, how talkative it is, the size of your home, and how much time you're willing to devote to it, the choice will be difficult. But you'll gain a loyal friend. Don't make any mistakes. A cat with a fiery temperament will become sad in a small room, and a gentle cat will feel uncomfortable in a large family. Cats can become aggressive or apathetic. And their owner is unlikely to be pleased.

Pedigree or regular cat?

This question is on the minds of many. British veterinarians conducted a survey among cat owners to identify the model cat. It showed that mestizos and mongrel cats love hunting more than their purebred relatives.

These whiskered cats are more aggressive than purebreds. According to respondents, grooming depends on the breed. Common cats are more likely to run away when they see a brush in their owner's hands. But the noble, sacred Birmans enjoy a daily coat massage.

Strollers avoid people. They hiss indignantly if a new owner tries to pet them. They refuse to take medication and try to jump out. carriersThey scratch and bite. Taming a little wild one takes effort. But it's worth it.

The behavior of stray kittens was described by the German researcher Paul Leyhausen. The kittens don't always obey their mother cat. If their mother is nearby, they run away from people at her signal. When their mother leaves, however, the kittens' childish curiosity awakens. They want to learn new things. This includes the person who picked them up. The kittens stop resisting. The cunning felines benefit from their owner's care and allow themselves to be petted.

Future cat owners often wonder whether to get a kitten in the summer or fall. Fall kittens are more prone to illness than summer kittens if they aren't properly cared for. These little ones need proper nutrition, vaccinations, and a warm home.

Summer kittens grow up in the hot sun. Nursing cats eat a full diet during this time. Newborn kittens don't yet regulate their body temperature. Therefore, autumn kittens can't adapt to the cold. Their mothers have poor nutrition. These conditions weaken the kitten's immune system, making them more likely to catch colds.

Choosing a cat is difficult. But the most important thing is to love and care for your pet.
