Thoughts on or designs of jayfeather plz plz plz

Well I'm going from oldest to youngest so it'll be a hot second before a design happens fjfj

If you mean thoughts about how he'll be in the rewrite, enjoy some point form notes:

He'll go through with warrior training, but he'll show a profound interest in clan history, magic, and history of the lake in general

More afraid of battle than he's willing to admit. Despite his attitude, he's a pacifist at heart.

I lowkey ship him with Berry. Do with this information what you will.

Not fully blind! He can see shadows and vague, super blurry shapes. Tends to keep his eyes closed regardless.

Just a widdle guy.

Looks like a silver Somali cat, like his great aunt <3

[missing-sock-misto]

I love that the humans named Misto Dante, it’s such a good concept. Do you have any human family names for the other cats?

(This ask is referencing the tags of this post)

So, for some context-

@thunderwhenhepurrs got super into mafia stuff a while back and developed some OCs and a story. So we played around with a crossover where their characters; Ella (a modern girl with time travel powers) and Damiano (a 1920’s mafia don learning to get out of the business), adopted Misto and Tugger.

Long way of saying all the names have an Italian flavor.

We made some stories and drabbles that were a lot of fun but just never got put on Ao3 cause the legwork of getting people to know who the OCs were was too high.

But:

Dante- a dainty all black cat who showed up one day and got adopted by the pair. Damiano is certain he is actually a demon in cat skin, Ella is blissfully oblivious to anything supernatural (she has a history of adopting not fully normal cats, so she just thinks it’s all normal behavior, and that Damiano is being superstitious. It doesn’t help that Dante makes a game of only doing supernatural things (climbing on walls & ceilings, turning into a black ooze) when Damiano is looking, and then being perfectly cute and innocent as soon as Ella turns around. The two have formed a mutual alliance- I give you tuna, you don’t eat my soul. Win win.)

Romeo- A huge brown tabby maine coon who shows up one day and insists that this house is his too. At first, the pair are scared that he’d be a danger to their cats, and prevent him from entering, but eventually the tom makes it inside the house. The humans are surprised to find the tom draped over the sofa like a small lion, enthusiastically grooming the normally aloof Dante. They decide that the cat distribution system is at work and won’t take no for an answer.

Caesar- A massive ginger maine coon with amber eyes owned by Damiano’s don rival, Juliano. (Because, he is exactly the type of guy who would call their cat Caesar when his own name is “little Julius”). Despite how expensive Caesar must have been, Juliano shows a general disregard for the cat, allowing it to roam the streets and get matted and dirty. It’s got a strange aura to it, fire crackling behind a closed door. It is a nasty surprise when the pair are disturbed in modern times by a strangely similar looking cat stalking their house.

Leonardo- the brother or cousin of Romeo, as far as the humans can determine. He’s an intelligent silver tabby maine coon, and as such is named after Leonard da Vinci. Romeo will tease him whenever he stops by, bapping him in the face before running away.

Papà Paffuto- Plump Papa. He’s more fluff than cat, and Romeo turns into a kitten whenever he’s around. A sweet elderly cat, he loves basking in the sun and sleeping.

.

Damiano’s friend, a Jewish mobster, also has a couple of cats.

Adina- meaning ‘gentle’ in hebrew, she is a skittish cat, terrified of strangers, but with a kind nature.

Aviva- the kitten of Adina, her name means Springtime. She has longer fur than her mother, with the tips of maine coon ears starting to form. She is sweet and inquisitive.

Malka- meaning Queen in hebrew, a gorgeous red somali cat who is fiercely protective of Adina and Aviva.

Thank you for asking! Writing this universe, where the humans actually mattered in the instead of being a faceless backdrop, was really fun! It’s nice to be able to talk about it!

a bit about me; or, some of my favorite things

personal description

My name is Emily, I go by she/her pronouns. I'm a 21-year-old woman who's living at home with my parents while attending the local community college (taking mostly online classes). My dream job is to be a librarian, but that's quite a ways away. I was diagnosed with clinical depression at 15 and with Autism Spectrum Disorder (support level 1) at 18. I'm pretty sure I'm asexual, but any sexual or romantic identity I have feels theoretical at this point in my life where I have zero real-life experience with relationships. I have exactly one friend and I leave the house with concerning infrequency. I'm not on any other social media unless you count YouTube or thestorygraph

The best way I know how to describe myself is through the things I love, so below are some of my favorite things categorized by type. If you're over 18, please feel free to message me or comment if our interests overlap or if you have a recommendation for me.

books

Reading is a huge part of my life. I read pretty much every genre, subject, and format, but right now I'm especially into female-centered fantasy novels. I'd love to be mutuals on thestorygraph, where you can find me under the username emselders. Here are five titles that come to mind:

Uprooted and Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik

The Song of Achilles and Circe by Madeline Miller

A Bride's Story (manga series) by Kaoru Mori

Unmasking Autism by Devon Price

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

music

I'm not a person who knows a lot about music or has much to say about it, but here are five artists I really like:

Hozier

Taylor Swift

Pheobe Bridgers

Wallows

Cavetown

podcasts & youtubers

If I'm not reading, I'm probably listening to a podcast or YouTube video. I'm mostly into commentary, video essays, and "edutainment." Here are five that I love:

pretty much all of the McElroy podcasts (especially Sawbones)

Struggle Care, hosted by KC Davis

ContraPoints

The BCC Club, hosted by Sarah Schauer and Kendahl Landreth

Tara Mooknee

movies & shows

I rarely sit down to watch anything, but I want to do so more because it feels better for my brain than scrolling on my phone. Here are five of my go-to's:

pretty much anything by Studio Ghibli (especially Howl's Moving Castle)

Little Women (2019)

Helluva Boss

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Somali and the Forest Spirit

topics

Here are five things not included above that I always enjoy talking about:

Somali cat: Colors, Size, Weight, Personality, Best Food Full Info

The Somali Cat is a lean, wild-looking cat, closely related to the Abyssinian. Built on athletic lines, they are light and long with a muscular build, medium wedge-shaped head, and large almond-shaped eyes. The paws are neatly oval, with slight tufting between the toes, and the tail is long with a generous plume of fur. The Somali is a semi-longhair cat, with fur that is short and close on the body and long around the neck, legs, and tail.

Somali fur is agouti, that is, each hair has bands of several colors. This gives the cat a shadowy appearance, paler below and darker above.

The eyes are golden, amber, or green and the pigment around the eyes should be dark, giving the impression of eyeliner, surrounded by a lighter cream or almost white, giving the cat a very attractive, attractive look.

Origin: Australia

Size: 7–11 inches

Weight: 2.5 – 4.5kg

Lifespan: 11 – 16 years

Colors: Somalis come in a range of reddish browns, blue, lilac, and fawn, and a silver variation on these colors where the undercoat and base of the hairs are white rather than cream.

Breed Characteristics

You’ll find yourself with a Somali—there’s a powerful force in this! Active, curious, and sociable, the large Somali is always looking for someone to be with and with.

If the show is long and eventful or less objective, entertainment is what Somalis make fun of. Climbing curtains, scaling refrigerators, or tipping knick-knacks from shelves are university fun activities that could be on the menu.

Somali cat History

The Somali is the long-haired version of the Abyssinian. The Abyssinian was developed in Great Britain from a cat brought to that country by Lord Robert Napier, following a military campaign in Abyssinia. The cat that Lord Napier brought to Britain was named Zulu and was the foundation of the beautiful breed known today as the Abyssinian, as well as the Somali breed.

The unique ticking pattern on an Abyssinian coat reminds people of the camouflage pattern on a wild rabbit’s coat. To perpetuate this, the Zulu was bred to random breeds of cats that had a similar appearance in their coats, and the Abyssinian breed was created.

Some kittens born in Abyssinian litters appeared to have long hair. Since long hair is not a desirable trait in Abyssinians, kittens born with long hair were transplanted and kept as pets. However, many breeders liked the way the long hair looked on Abyssinian cats and, in the late 1960s, these breeders created a long-haired version of the Abyssinian and called her the Somali. The beautiful ticked coat can be seen on the Somali as it can be seen on the Abyssinian. Thanks to her unique appearance, beautiful personality, and easy care, Somali quickly became popular.

And of course, you can't draw Spiresight without his adopted son Blazefire, so here he is!  (Yeah yeah, Spiresight was never called his dad in the text, but c'mon, he was constantly at Spiresight's side since he was a tiny kit - Spiresight was absolutely his dad).

You can find the reverse side of his design here.

Blazefire has no physical description given other than his pattern, so I came up with my own for him. I pictured him as a solid, fluffy kind of dude, so that's what I went with. I used these images of Somalis as references for the build. I gave him a few scars, notably a few on the nose from when Harrybrook was battering his nose during a battle in The Raging Storm.

For his pattern, Blazefire is described as a ginger-and-white tom with amber eyes. Since Blazefire is a city cat with completely unknown parentage and history, I decided to take the excuse to be a bit creative, and made him a red silver Somali. This cat was a big inspiration for my colors and pattern for Blazefire here. I had a lot of fun designing him, getting that gradient to look right was interesting, but I'm really happy with the end result.  His eyes ended up closer to orange than amber, but shh, we'll just call them dark amber.

Overall, I'm really happy with how he turned out.  He looks nice and fiery, which fits considering his name.

Places to Have the Best Adventure in Kenya

Kenya - the name is practically synonymous with "safari." Perhaps no other spot on the planet summons such a spirit of experience and sentiment. The decent variety of activities astonishes all who visit and review the nation's plenteous natural life beat the rundown. Being part of adventure tours in Kenya of reputed tour operators see crowds of wildebeest roaring over the savanna during the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara; come eye-to-eye with an elephant in Amboseli; or wonder about Lake Nakuru, spotted with a huge number of flamingos. In these sun-doused lands, antiquated tribes, for example, the Maasai, Kikuyu, and Samburu, hold their customary traditions, living in relative amicability with the common world.

Past the world-renowned safari parks lies a trove of beachfront treasures. You can snorkel and dive fish-rich coral reefs, unwind on silvery shorelines, experience the blend of societies and foods in Mombasa and Malindi, and explore tropical islands saturated with Swahili history.

Geographically, Kenya is staggering. Encompassed by calderas and mountain ranges, the Great Rift Valley separates the nation. Toward the east of this broad valley, you can climb the snow-shrouded tropical pinnacles of Mount Kenya and fish for trout in perfectly clear streams. Hell's Gate National Park harbors obsidian caves and murmurs with normal fountains and natural aquifers. To encounter the sentiment of Kenya's vivid colonial history caught in the film Out of Africa, head to Nairobi. This clamoring capital is the door to one of the world's most reminiscent and energizing travel goals.

Maasai Mara National Reserve Maasai Mara National Reserve likewise called "Masai Mara" is one of the world's most eminent game reserves. Flanking Tanzania, the Mara is the northern expansion of the Serengeti and structures an untamed life passageway between the two nations. The name is after the statuesque, red-shrouded Maasai individuals who live in the recreation center and graze their creatures here as they have accomplished for quite a long time. In their language, Mara signifies "mottled," maybe a reference to the play of light and shadow from the acacia trees and cloud-studded skies on the vast prairies.

The recreation center is popular for the Great Migration, when a large number of wildebeest, zebra, and Thomson's gazelle travel to and from the Serengeti, from July through October. In the Mara River, crowds of hippos and crocodiles hide. The recreation center is likewise known for giving fantastic predator sightings, because of its enormous populaces of lion, cheetah, and panther - particularly in the dry a very long time from December through February. Because of the recreation center's height, the climate here is mellow and delicate all year. The adventure tours in Kenya give you the best opportunities to enjoy and experience this amazing natural feature.

Amboseli National Reserve Crowned by Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's most astounding pinnacle, Amboseli National Reserve is one of Kenya's most prevalent visitor parks. The name "Amboseli" originates from a Maasai word signifying "salty dust," an adept depiction for the recreation center's dry conditions. The reserve is probably the best place in Africa to see huge groups of elephants very close. Another natural life normally seen in the recreation center incorporates huge cats, for example, lion and cheetah, just as giraffe, impala, eland, waterbuck, gazelle, and in excess of 600 types of birds. Nature sweethearts can explore five unique territories here, going from the evaporated bed of Lake Amboseli, wetlands with sulfur springs, savannah, and forests. Search for the nearby Maasai individuals who live in the zone around the recreation center.

Tsavo National Park Kenya's biggest park, Tsavo, is in two parts: Tsavo West and Tsavo East. Together these parks include four percent of the nation's all-out zone and incorporate waterways, cascades, savannah, volcanic slopes, a gigantic igneous rock level, and a great assorted variety of untamed life. Halfway between Nairobi and Mombasa, Tsavo East is a place for photographing commendable sightings of huge elephant crowds rolling and washing in red dust. The palm-bordered Galana River winds through the recreation center giving astounding game view and a rich contradiction to the parched fields. Different features here incorporate the Yatta Plateau, the world's longest magma stream; Mudanda Rock; and the Lugard Falls, which spill into rapids and crocodile-filled pools.

Tsavo West is wetter and geologically progressively shifted, with probably the most delightful view in the northern ranges of the recreation center. Features here are Mzima Springs, a progression of characteristic springs with enormous populaces of hippos and crocodiles; Chaimu Crater, an incredible spot for seeing birds of prey; and Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary. Untamed life is not as simple to see in Tsavo West due to the dense vegetation, yet the wonderful landscape compensates all.

Samburu, Buffalo Springs, and Shaba National Reserves On the banks of the palm-lined Ewaso Nyiro River, Samburu, Buffalo Springs, and Shaba Reserves lie in a dry locale in the remote north of Kenya. Shaba National Reserve is one of two zones where George and Joy Adamson raised Elsa the lioness, put on the map in the film Born Free. The untamed life in each of the three stores relies upon the waters of the waterway to endure, and numerous species are uncommonly adjusted to the dry conditions, for example, Grevy's zebras; Somali ostriches; and gerenuks, the long-necked antelope that remain on two back legs to arrive at the crisp shoots on upper tree appendages.

A top fascination in Samburu National Reserve is the Sarara Singing Wells, nearby watering gaps where Samburu warriors sing customary tunes while pulling water for their cows to drink. You may likewise be compensated with sightings of enormous felines and wild hounds.

Lake Nakuru National Park Lake Nakuru National Park, in Central Kenya, is renowned for its immense herds of pink flamingos. The feathered creatures crowd on Lake Nakuru itself, one of the Rift Valley lakes that include very nearly 33% of the recreation center's region. The recreation center was set up in 1961, and in excess of 450 types of birds have been recorded here, just as a rich decent variety of other untamed life. Lions, panthers, warthogs, waterbucks, pythons, and white rhinos are only a portion of the creatures you may see, and the scenes run from clearing prairies flanking the lake to rough bluffs and forest.

The recreation center likewise secures the biggest euphorbia candelabrum backwoods in Africa. These tall, expanding succulents are endemic to the area and give an intriguing textural component to the parched scenes.

Lake Naivasha A shelter for birders, Lake Naivasha lies at the highest point of the Great Rift Valley and has been known to recoil extensively in the midst of outrageous dry spell. A prospering floriculture industry in the region is likewise affecting water levels and quality. Perhaps the ideal approaches to see a natural life is by vessel. You can spot in excess of 400 types here, including African fish falcons. Hippos slosh in the water, and giraffes, zebra, bison, and eland touch around the edges of the lake. Keep a watch out for Colobus monkeys in the coverings, as well.

Close Lake Naivasha, the Crater Lake Game Sanctuary includes an untamed life rich nature trail. Only south of Lake Naivasha, the moderately reasonable Hell's Gate National Park ensures a wide assortment of natural life and offers brilliant climbing openings with two wiped out volcanoes and the red precipices of Hell's Gate Gorge. On the southern shore of Lake Naivasha, you can fly in for some tea at the Elsamere Conservation Center, the previous home of the late Joy Adamson, creator of Born Free and her better half George.

Mount Kenya National Park In the Central Highlands, east of the Great Rift Valley, Mount Kenya National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site including the nation's namesake most noteworthy mountain at 5,199 meters and giving the uncommon sight of the tropical day off. Shaped by a progression of volcanic emissions, Mount Kenya has three ice sheet shrouded crests. The most astounding is Batian, in spite of the fact that Nelion, the following most astounding, is a harder trip. The most reduced pinnacle, Lenana, is the least demanding trip, albeit erratic climate can posture difficulties.

View changes from icy masses, lakes, and mineral springs to high woodland and thick pockets of bamboo. The assorted variety of greenery gives compensating chances to adventure. Among the natural life here, you may spot Colobus monkeys, bison, elephant, tree hyrax, panther, and hyena.

I finally watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s and I see why it’s immortalised as one of the Classics in film history. The character development, story-telling and unravelling of the budding romance was done so well, so convincingly and with ease. The ending scene really got to me, when Paul “Fred” Varjak, ready to get out of the taxi right after Holly threw Cat out, said this to Holly:

You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, "Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness." You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing", and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.

And right after that, he gives her the ring (from that snack pack) that he got engraved for her at Tiffany’s that he’s been waiting for the right time to give her. After he gets out of the taxi, she opens the box and discovering the engraved ring, puts it on her ring finger wistfully. You could see it in her eyes almost immediately that she loved him and in the next moment she rushes out of the taxi herself into the rain in search of Paul who himself is in search of Cat.

I loved the contrast between her putting on her makeup (even her lipstick just to read a letter) and the rain washing it away - almost as if the entire mask she has worn is washed away. Perhaps I’m reading too much into this but they did have the earlier scene where they each stole masks from the shop when they were each doing things the other hasn’t done before which marked the start of them falling in love with each other (for Paul, probably deeper in love).

And prior to this scene Paul also says, “I don’t want to put you in a cage, I want to love you.” Which is so laden with meaning because love is sometimes seen as something toxically possessive but it’s also so much more. It’s a love that wants to protect, to give - even to the point of laying down one’s life for the other.

The whole scene was so beautifully done :’-)

Malist meaning

It puts a smile on my face, and so should inflict on you as well. If you're a fan of the Romeo X Juliet archetype, this anime is a must recommended watch. Heck, I'd even say this anime adaptation surpasses the manga in every way. If there is the minimum fault I could lament with, was that the storytelling was quite slow, but once I compared that to the flow of the manga, it allayed most of the fears I had about pushing quantity for quality, and am glad that the slow storytelling compensated for most of the enjoyment I had for this anime. But, once that OP played, I was rest assured, this OP was fantastic and great, along with Riho Ilda's ED (which I should listen to her songs more) which was icing on the cake. I was concerned about FripSide's songs as the quality of songs they were pumping out in the modern times were average or didn't sound very good (as per the case of Dances With The Dragons). Liden Film's art and animation, bright, clean, fluid and showcasing some of the most simple but bad-ass animations when it comes to the serious stuff (e.g. Overall, all characters were done as well as how they were in the manga.įrom here on, really no problems at all. Their depiction in the anime is just as frightening as in the manga, so great pointers for showing their cruelness. And of course, the White Cats rebel faction of Aby Ssinia, along with his supporter-cum-crush Somali and few others. The most frightening are always the top brass, or model counsellors such as Inuzuka's own older brother Airu (which he despises greatly), twin sisters Kochou and Teria from the Black Dogs and Persia's relentless leaders Cait Sith, Anne Sieber and Rex from the White Cats to name a few. From the assistants, Inuzuka's ever-helpful assistant-cum-crush Hasuki and Percia's strangle-hold Princess Chartreux (just call her Char) are always there to help shape up each counterpart's emotions and feelings about each other, and confront each other as to deal with countless situations with the slightest damage possible. However, as both Inuzuka and Persia encounter each other *starts rolling Romeo X Juliet the play*, the amount of controversy that both have that's weighted on their shoulders become the main problem for concerning people.Īnd that's where the side characters come in. So with that, Dahlia Academy Boarding School (Juliet), was made as per the neutral ground for both factions to have and nurture education for everyone regardless of which faction they belong to. The story.let's just say that if you know a even a little bit about the Romeo X Juliet Shakespeary context, it's the exact same premise here, just in terms of different factions, mainly the White Cats and Black Dogs, led by both leaders Romio Inuzuka An era of American automotive history, centered around the 1970s, is similarly called the " malaise era."Ī speech made by US President Jimmy Carter in 1979 is commonly referred to as the " malaise speech", although the word itself was not actually in the speech.Being a great fan of the typical Romeo X Juliet school-twisted manga at hindsight, I was wishing for an anime adaptation of this rom-com for sometime, and when it premiered in Fall 2018, I was SO happy and ready for the anime adaptation by Liden Films, and it delivered flawlessly (well, small faults but big wins). The term is particularly associated with the 1973–75 United States recession. " Economic malaise" refers to an economy that is stagnant or in recession (compare depression). Malaise is thought to be caused by the activation of an immune response, and the associated pro-inflammatory cytokines. Malaise expresses a patient's uneasiness that "something is not right" that may need a medical examination to determine the significance. Malaise is a non-specific symptom and can be present in the slightest ailment, such as an emotion (causing fainting, a vasovagal response) or hunger (light hypoglycemia ), to the most serious conditions ( cancer, stroke, heart attack, internal bleeding, etc.).

We can recognize our own faults as a species, so it’s easy to accept that the waitress’s story is mostly fact, but I’m reluctant to just embrace whatever I am told, especially at this early stage in the story. Who can say what truly happened? You wouldn’t go down to your local restaurant and believe every single word your waitress tells you about history, would you? Stories always borrow a little something from their storyteller. After all, this story comes from the lips of some random waitress. We humans got our asses handed to us… allegedly. We are predictably prejudiced warmongers, but this time, the bully picked on the wrong target. Like in most tales, we humans are portrayed in a negative light. When the unlikely duo stops by what appears to be your average tavern, we are told the story about what had happened to the long, lost humans.

#Somali to mori no kamisama mangaupdates series#

Will the golem succeed in finding humans to care for Somali? Will Somali teach the golem to become more human-like? Will the golem, old in its age, cease to function by the end of the series and thus leave the girl to fend for herself? Or will she eventually convince him that he’s all she needs, and they can give up this journey to find humans? After all, humans have not been seen for a long time. We’re already making progress by the end of the first episode when he decides that they should hold hands in order to help keep her by his side. In caring for Somali, this gargantuan task will inadvertently imbue him with the feeling of love that is missing. So perhaps our father being a golem is apropos in more ways than one. Somehow, the rock can now perform calculations and do so much better than us. We’ve taken a rock and zapped it with electricity. But from a certain point of view, you could look at a computer chip and make the same observation. It conjures up the notion of witches or warlocks taking a lump of inanimate material and somehow enchanting it with life. At times, the golem almost appears as though he’s executing a set of instructions. He thus represents the stern, paternal figure who values practicality and pragmatism he does so seemingly because that’s all he can do. A talking cat might have eaten her had the golem not quickly appeared by her side. In this episode alone, Somali’s curiosity leads her away from the safety of her father’s gaze. This unpredictability will likely serve as one of the many ways to introduce conflict to the story.

#Somali to mori no kamisama mangaupdates full#

On the one hand, we have a young, rambunctious child full of vim and vigor she’s brimming with childish exuberance. He repeatedly informs the little girl that he can’t understand emotions, so at first glance, it would seem that he is ill-equipped to care for a young child. Failing that, just meeting any human would suffice. Even though his original task is to watch over the forest, he takes the girl and they embark on a trip to find her parents. Somali immediately attaches herself emotionally to the golem and refers to it as her father (for the sake of brevity, I may as well use male pronouns from here on out). One day, a golem strolls through a forest and stumbles upon a human girl in chains.

Introduction to Ginger Cat Breeds

Ginger cat breeds encompass a captivating array of hues, spanning from the gentle apricot tones to the fiery depths of orange. While any cat can don a ginger coat, certain pedigreed breeds have gained recognition for their iconic red fur. Among these distinguished feline companions, we encounter the Abyssinian, Turkish Angora, Turkish Van, Somali, and American Shorthair, each possessing its own distinct allure.

They possess an innate ability to form strong bonds with their human families and flourish in environments filled with playtime and interaction. Their boundless energy and playful disposition make them delightful additions to any household. In essence, ginger breeds make exceptional companion cats.

Coat: Ginger cats can possess either short or longhaired coats, both showcasing the vibrant ginger hues that define them.

Ginger cats, particularly those with pedigrees, can trace their lineage back to original breeds like Persians, Siamese, and regional Turkish cats.

Caring for Your Beloved Ginger Cat

Nutrition: To support their energetic lifestyle, provide high-protein cat food, raw diets, or homemade recipes rich in meat.

Environment: Enrich their lives with interactive toys, cat trees, scratching posts, and ample playtime and human interaction. Offering access to windows for bird-watching can be particularly enjoyable.

Grooming: Short-haired ginger cats benefit from weekly brushing, while their longhaired counterparts require daily attention to prevent matting. Regular nail trims every 2-3 weeks are essential, and it's advisable to check their ears and teeth weekly.

Enrichment: Keep your ginger cat engaged with puzzle feeders, treat-dispensing balls, catnip, and a rotation of stimulating toys. Consider clicker training to challenge their minds and provide mental stimulation.

Bringing a Ginger Cat into Your Home

Ginger cats are beloved companions worldwide, with North America and Europe having a particular affinity for them. Original Turkish breeds can still be found in their native regions.

The cost of acquiring a ginger cat can vary widely, ranging from $500 to $1200 USD, depending on the breed's rarity.

Before finalizing the adoption, ensure you:

Check for general health indicators: Confirm that the cat is active, maintains a healthy weight, and boasts a lustrous coat.

Verify vaccination records: Ensure the cat is up to date on vaccinations, including FVRCP, rabies, and feline leukemia.

Review the medical history: Familiarize yourself with any pre-existing conditions the cat may have.

Preparing Your Home for a Feline Friend

Cat-proof your home by securing cables and removing potentially toxic items. Provide an array of toys and vertical spaces for climbing and exploration.

Have essential supplies ready, including food bowls, a litter box, a scratching post, and cat trees or perches. Select cat-friendly plants.

Consider useful supplies like interactive toys, dental care treats, nail trimmers, and pet insurance.

Be mindful of potential health concerns, such as kidney disease, dental issues, and feline leukemia. Schedule annual vet visits to safeguard your ginger cat's well-being.

Choosing the Perfect Name for Your Ginger Cat
