#cat breeds

[zooophagous]

The Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (UK) posted this to their Facebook page today:

We are very excited to announce our NEW RECOGNISED BREED - The Transylvanian! 🤩

'Indigenous to the woodlands and forests around the Carpathian Mountain areas of Romania and Hungary, the Transylvanian cat is the most recently discovered natural breed in the world.

They have fascinating features such as the reverse Karparti coat, born white, over the first 12 months the kitten grows a black, blue or sometimes a red coat whilst leaving the points of the ears, nose and paws white. Basically a reverse point! The Transylvanian is thermal too, being lighter in summer and darker in winter.

The foundation breeders led by Beverly Elian (WCF Judge) are based in Romania, Hungary, Switzerland and in the UK with Stuart & Amanda Brass.

Extensive testing has occurred on all four generations supported by Leslie Lyons and it appears the breed is robust with no genetic or hereditary issues appearing in any of the litters.'

Not seen and heard enough? You can see our newly recognised Transylvanian at the Feline Fair! Buy your tickets here - https://tinyurl.com/5dm7kp9a! 🎟️

I wanted to make a fun little art challenge for myself and say: what would Petey look like if he was a different cat breed?

Purrfect just the way you are!

It’s Tinky Winky 🥹🥰🤍🖤

(SN: We think Tinky might have a big cat breed like a Maine Coon or a Siberian mixed in him, but we’re just guessing. He’s always been bigger than his siblings, his hair in his ears are longer, he’s fluffier, and his paws are twice the size of a normal kitten his age, what do y’all think?)

I feel like if Rex Splode was a cat, he would be a Samoli cat ⭐️

What cat breeds are the LaDs men?

M.List

Sidebar: these are my opinions and it's for funsies. I based my choices mostly off of vibes along with my own experience with these specific breeds. I had to include my besties(the twins) bc I love them sm I wish they got more screen time :'( Caleb was just a bonus bc I felt bad for including everyone but him. I might add more to this later (is she crazy? 👀) based on new game updates

Caleb gives off "orange American Curl" vibes so frickin much. He seems very extroverted and like he has a childish nature.

Luke & Kieran would be Toyger cars. They're loyal and energetic. They get bored pretty easily and need constant entertainment. Plus they're easily trained.

Rafayel is a Siamese cat through and through. He's a dramatic trouble maker who always wants your attention.

Sylus would be a white Bengal. He's extremely agile and just exudes confidence. He also has a lot of energy and loves to play(he's so sneaky)

Xavier is def a Ragdoll. He's extremely docile and will do anything you ask of him. Plus he's the perfect cuddle buddy.

Zayne would be a Maine Coon. Even with his luxurious fur, he'd still be stern(as stern as a cat could be) He's self assured and calm.

Let me know what y'all think of my choices 😚

Could you explain why so many Ragdolls are posted as PG / Patriarca Gucci free? I saw it a lot when looking through Facebook pages and it seemed something genetic.

I actually hadn’t seen this before on the Ragdoll pages I follow so I had to look it up, another interesting turn on the drama-filled roadmap of Ragdoll history…

Patriarca Gucci was a seal point Ragdoll (look at that 49% total COI lmfao) who is thought to be the source of a recessive, lethal form of dwarfism that first appeared up in the Scandinavian Ragdoll population in 2016 - the reason the blame is placed on Patriarca Gucci is because examination of the pedigree of the affected cats reveal her as a common ancestor.

2016 — Lethal Dwarfism in Scandinavian Ragdolls

Dwarfism in Ragdolls | Patriarca Gucci or “PG Lines”

Dwarfism — Scandinavian Ragdoll Club

Dwarfism in Ragdoll — Scandinavian Ragdoll Club

So breeders reporting their cat(s) to be “PG free” are advertising them as not having Patriarca Gucci in their ancestry/pedigree and thus - based on current working knowledge of the gene, as it hasn’t been identified and there is no testing available yet - should be safe from producing affected offspring.

I will never understand people who buy pure bred cats from breeders. I can understand with dogs a bit as the experience of owning a German shepherd versus a Pomeranian is vastly differently but all cats basically do the same thing: nap and cause problems. The domestic moggy is the perfect companion animal already, why would you spend thousands to get a fancy one who (depending on the breed you go for) may not even live as long? Cats are everywhere, find one in a bin like God intended

When I was a kid, I absolutely loved temporary tattoos.

One day there was a big moment. An issue of the Donald Duck magazine came with temporary tattoos - what a deal! I put on my shoes and ran to the newsstand as if my life depended on it. I got it. I had my holy grail. Now, I just needed to get home as quickly as possible.

I ran, and I fell. Right onto the road, scattered with tiny bits of gravel.

I ended up with stones embedded in my hands and knees, which my mother had to remove with a nail brush.

And now, years later, I can finally fulfill that childhood dream again without brushing gravel out of my hands, this time with temporary tattoos that I’ve created in collaboration with @storeypub. The book contains 50 different cat-themed tattoos!

Asking the "what's your favorite cat breed?" question to the WGP racers

[mau-mao]

Usually, when a breed has various coat lengths, they'll have their name then "shorthair" or "longhair" at the end (e.g., Oriental shorthair and Oriental longhair).

BUT! there are several breeds that don't follow this.

Abyssinian (SH)

Somali (LH)

Bengal (SH)

Cashmere (LH)

Manx (SH)

Cymric (LH)

Exotic (SH)

Persian (LH)

Siamese (SH)

Balinese (LH)

Burmilla (SH)

Asian Longhair/Tiffanie (LH)
