A cat is not just a pet

Many of us in childhood, and maybe now have pets. Starting from aquarium fish and ending with dogs, rabbits and even ferrets. However, the most popular pet is the cat. Let's see why.

The first reason - a cat's temper

We all know that the characters of cats are very diverse, from affectionate kittens to wild "beasts." But do not forget that the cat - it's almost a full member of the family. He is firmly attached to the owner, and whatever the character of the animal, he needs care and care, being ready for reciprocity.

That is why kittens are often taken to the apartment in order to get the animal used to the owner from an early age and be a real friend to him.

The second reason is healing ability

It's just right for everyone to have an opinion - whether to believe or not, however, there is a tendency about the ability of cats to cure their master.

It is noticed that if the animal lays on a sore spot (for example, a head, a throat or a stomach), then in time the pain will begin to weaken or completely subsides. In cases of prolonged illness, it is noticed that cats accelerate recovery when they sleep with their host.

The third reason is the appearance

What is the minus of fish, hamsters, turtles and other similar pets? They can not be crocheted at all. The cat is, first of all, a fluffy animal (although the exception is the sphinxes), which can be patted, and in exceptional cases, and crumpled. Agree, even when the cat just sits on his lap - it's very nice.

Special attention should be paid to the sight of cats. The cat's eyes are not only able to see in the dark, but also unique beauty. Moreover, cats are able to communicate not only meowing, but also a glance - which is only a plaintive look with the request for an addition to the daily feed.

In addition, there are many breeds of cats, allowing you to choose a pet for your liking from a huge variety. This can be a simple street kitten, and a purebred beast of any color and "degree of fluffiness", because the choice is yours.

Separately, we need to talk about cat breeds, because a cat is not a toy, and the choice of an animal needs to be approached wisely.

Wild cats

And we will start with quite unusual cats - wild. Despite the fact that these animals are supposed to live in the wild, there are lovers who create the most real wild conditions for animals, making them "semi-domestic." The breeds of wild cats are varied, among them:

• Manul;
• Sumatran cat ;
• serval;
• Abyssinian cat;
• Bengal cat;
• Asher;
• savannah.

This is not a complete list of wild cats, which are increasingly gaining popularity as pets. The main feature of the nature of these cats is a good inclination to train and live with people. However, we should not forget that such animals need a spacious house, because large domestic cats prefer country houses, where there is a possibility and run on the street, and sleep at home.

Domestic cats

But we will not go far into the jungle where pumas, leopards and other felines live. Most of the inhabitants are interested in the breed of domestic cats, which you can have in your apartment.

The first in this list will be the British. These cats are increasingly gaining popularity, despite the rather large prices for kittens of this breed.

The British have short wool, often a rich gray color. The cat's eyes are big and very expressive. Large enough cats, an adult cat can weigh up to 10-12 kg. However, these animals can not be called excessively affectionate - the descendants of Cheshire do not like tenderness and have a proud character.

Another of the popular breeds is the Siberian cat. Such animals can be considered the opposite of the British - fluffy, not too large cats have a pliable character and love for affection. Such a kitten will become a wonderful friend to the child.

Scots are cats, much like the British. This breed has a short coat and a special structure of the auricles, as if their ears are always pressed. They have several different colors. However, there are Scots with straight ears.

Of course, there are several hundred species of domestic cats today, and you can talk about each one for hours. The average long life of cats is 8-10 years, therefore, if you decide to purchase a kitten, do not forget, the cat is your future family member, therefore it is necessary to treat it adequately from an early age.
