There
are so many breeds, we have provided basic information about the breeds
regarding our cats for adoption.
A
few decades ago, there were just a handful of recognized breeds. Today,
there are dozens. New mutations have been adopted by some registries,
new breeds have been created from existing breeds through the introduction
of new colors and coat lengths, and breeds from one country have been
recognized in others. |
This
part is going to help you to understand your cat, his morphology, behavior
and senses !
The
cat is an almost perfectly designed predator. Its superb balance and
flexibility enable it to catch small prey and escape from larger predators.
Its brain, nerves, and hormones harmonize to avoid wasting energy, while
still being capable of explosions of activity. The domestic cat's anatomy
is almost identical to that of its close wild relations. In the past,
the cat was a solitary hunter, content to live on its own in the absence
of other cats or people. It is now in the process of evolving from total
independence to a more willing dependence. Its natural behavior toward
other cats and human show this evolutionary change.
