A Glance At Cats
By peace | February 20, 2008
Cats have a very special place among domestic pets. In spite of having attached themselves to human beings thousands of years ago, they have preserved an astonishing independence. They still show many of the behavioural patterns of their wild ancestors and their independence and characters are particularly fascinating. They, of all animals, are particularly suitable as pets for people of every age group. The relationship between cats and human beings can be even closer than relationship between two cats, as shown in some behavioural studies.
A healthy cat is one with bright eyes, a nose that does not run and thick, and have shiny fur. Observe the cats eating, playing and cuddling. Each cat will have its own very distinctive character. Most wild cats, and the ancestors of domestic cats are counted among them, are solitary creatures. Even the young will only remain with their mother until they are able to feed themselves. During the course of their evolution into domestic animals, cats have become much more tolerant towards other members of their own species and will often seek contact with them.
You can easily keep two cats in your home. You can leave them alone all day long without having a guilty conscience because they will be able to play with each other. On the other hand, a single cat may become bored and will get up to all sorts of mischief. Some cats will even learn how to open the doors of rooms and other ‘containers’ and even refrigerator.
Colours of Cat
Cats come in a huge variety of colours — white, black, red, cream, blue — and in combinations of colours such as tortoiseshell. Their markings can vary as well, eg. tabbies may be striped or patched as well as being of different colour combinations. There are no significant character traits associated with colour. However, tortoiseshell cats of any type or breed are almost always female.
How Cats Spend Their Time
Cats are noted for being clean animals. They love to sharpen their claws on upholstery, textured wallpaper and carpets. Kittens love to climb up curtains.
Cats will sleep in a number of different places around the house, the most popular being upholstered furniture, discarded clothes, next to radiators, in cartons, bags, boxes, or sometimes even in the cat-baskets…
Male Cat or Female Cat
The sex of a cat will not have much bearing on its character. Both males and females can be quarrelsome, affectionate, moody or lovable. Only in the case of non-neutered, fully grown animals will you clearly notice definite differences in behaviour.
It is quite easy to sex a kitten, even when it is quite young, and you can do this yourself. In a female cat, the genital opening is fairly long and close to the anus. In a male cat, the genital opening is roundish and the distance between it and the anus is noticeably greater than in the female. Before a male cat is castrated, you can also see the paired testicles.
