#Abyssinian / Devon Rex / Cornish Rex / Bengal

[shmeemsy]

Those “dog people know their dog’s breed where they came from how they started etc but cat people just know their cat came from the dumpster behind Dennys” posts are so… I can name like 10 cat breeds off the top of my head man cats are way more varied than people think

[felinefractious]

what are some visually interesting and unique breeds of cats that don't have severe health issues associated with them? something that can't be mistaken for a regular old tabby but can actually breathe, walk, jump, poop, etc. like a normal cat

I mean it depends on what you consider visually interesting and unique and if the qualifications are you base criteria or if you mean are generally in good health without other potential ethical qualms.

I already went over how a Maine Coon looks like a Maine Coon and not a Domestic Shorthair. Most breeds have unique, interesting looks that can’t easily be mistaken for a moggy if you have any idea what you’re looking at.

[from Brilliant Gold Sun]

Bengal is an obvious answer.

[from Alter Ego]

Cornish Rex is another.

I think most of the rex-type and similar breeds are of pretty sound health, assuming you go through a good breeder and avoid extreme types. So Devon Rex, German Rex, Selkirk Rex, LaPerm, etc.

I know homozygous Selkirk’s molt but I think it’s only once as they come into their adult coats and I know LaPerm’s molt but I don’t know how uncomfortable this is for the cat.

[from Mirrorofsoul]

The Abyssinian and Somali are another one, especially the Ruddy/Usual variety. You’re not going to find that look anywhere else.

[from vom Aller-Leine-Tal]

Or Norwegian Forest Cats in one of the amber flavors.

Obviously there’s more but I’m going to finish my movie and get settled in for bed so take these for now.

[cryptidclaw]

Hey Sam, how do you get your cats to look so shaped?

Mostly I just spend wayyy to long collecting references of cats who have very good shapes.

I will give my list of fave very shaped cat breeds for references:

British shorthairs (ROUND)

Maine Coons (big boxy shapes, also HUGE)

Norwegian Forest cats (same as maine coon but even fluffier)

Ragdolls (big, fluffy ROUND)

Devon Rex (skrunkly and smol)

Cornish Rex (extremally long and alien lookin)

Somali Cats (smooth and slender)

Turkish Van (similar to Somali, slender and smooth)

Abyssinian (nimble, small, slender)

Orientals (longggg)

Persians (their bodies look like blobs)

Manx + Bobtails (idk why but their builds are often boxy and strong looking, good for a tough cat)

Bengals (if you want a ton of refs for close average cat body types just look up these guys)

[clouseplayssims]

Heyyyyy TS3 people. Anybody feel like confirming the dog/cat breed names for me because the wiki is uh. Questionable.

I typed out the list already I just need confirmation on how correct it is and if I'm missing anything.

Cat Bracket Round 2

Hello everyone, today is the second day of @newfoundgrxce ‘s and my Tumblr poll purebred cat breed bracket! Round one was yesterday, February 9th, 2023, and today’s begins at 4 PM MST on February 10th, 2023, and will end at 4 PM MST on February 11th, 2023. Here are links to the round two polls:

Devon Rex vs Egyptian Mau

Chartreux vs Havana Brown

Burmilla vs Japanese Bobtail

Cornish Rex vs European Burmese

Abyssinian vs Russian Blue

Bombay vs Toybob

Birman vs Maine Coon

American Shorthair vs Siberian

American Wirehair vs Oriental

American Bobtail vs Ragdoll

British Shorthair vs Turkish Angora

Bengal vs Norwegian Forest Cat

American Curl vs RagaMuffin

Burmese vs Turkish Van

Balinese vs Ocicat

EXOTIC HAS BEEN DISQUALIFIED, COLORPOINT SHORTHAIR WINS MATCH BY DEFAULT.

Why haven’t you included X breed?

X breed might have been eliminated in round one. We have included all CFA breeds EXCEPT for the Persian/Himalayan, Lykoi, Manx, Scottish Fold, and (now) Exotic. We have excluded these breeds because they are inherently unethical to breed, whereas cats like the Sphynx can thrive given they receive breed-specific care. We have added alternatives to the Persian/Himalayan and Scottish Fold in the form of the Traditional/Doll Face Persian and the Scottish Straight, although both were eliminated in round one.

You can send in pictures of your cat if you like and I will tell you what they appear to be. It is helpful to include some history on the acquisition of your cat. It is helpful to include multiple angles, varied lighting, close-up of parted fur and especially nose and paw pads. Remember that this is an educated guess only.

I will answer genetics oriented questions to the best of my ability, I have a working understanding of cat genetics but for more complicated or in-depth questions regarding genotype I recommend asking @amber-tortoiseshell.

Here Is How Smart Persian Cats Really Are

Come to think of intelligence in animals, you will agree that it’s much easier to measure it in dogs than in cats, particularly in Persians. However, every cat parent knows some tricks which can be useful in checking whether these furballs are smart or not.

So, how smart Persian cats really are? According to the statistics, not so, ranking 4 out of ten. There are two main reasons for this- they are slow learners, and their hunting and survival skills are rather poor. It seems like innate instinct is pretty undeveloped.

But, intelligence is not the single criteria one uses when choosing a cat pet, but there are many other values one looks for. For that reason, besides giving a short explanation on their (poor) intelligence, we shall point out some good sides of this adorable breed.

Persian Cat Intelligence Explained

Remember the tricks we mentioned? Well, now is a good time to confirm that they indeed exist, but the truth is that not every cat will react to them. Not because it is rude, but simply because it doesn’t ring a bell to it what to do.

Like with people, not all the felines are equally brainy, but that certainly doesn’t make them less worth as pets.

Nature decided to treat each cat breed with a different level of intelligence. That’s something we cannot change.

Of course, we can train our pets, try to teach them some tricks, motivate and encourage them. But we cannot do wonders way beyond boundaries established by nature.

Speaking of Persians, every owner will confirm that these adorable felines are slow learners. Trying to teach this lovely bundle of fur something new requires lots of patience and devotion and countless hours.

And this goes even for the simplest thing such as figuring out how to use a cat door. Even though this breed has a sweet temper and really enjoys the human’s attention and company, still all the same, learning is not quite their cup of tea.

We mentioned their low hunting and survival skills.

This somehow goes hand in hand with the previously described learning process.

Moreover, this instinct (or the absence of it) also reflects and determines intelligence in a cat breed.

So, Persians are the best to keep as indoor cats. If you let them outside, you should either supervise them or keep them on a leash. Otherwise, you seriously risk them, getting lost or hurt by other animals.

As for their interest in hunting, here’s a funny yet true description.

Their hunting instinct is so low that you could almost imagine a mouse sleeping right next to this lovely feline who is not even aware that the tiny guest is present.

While some cats really enjoy chasing and catching mice, birds, and lizards, Persians show no interest in it at all.

As a matter of fact, they are not likely to survive if left outside for some longer period of time. They would, quite sadly, become prey for some bigger animals.

Cats Ranked By Their Intelligence Level

We would like to make one thing clear at the very beginning. This ranking goes in general, as you would rank people, dogs, elephants or whichever living creature that comes to your mind.

Each breed and species has some more and less intelligent examples featured because every rule has some exceptions.

Therefore, this list we gave you here goes for cat breeds in general. Every owner can agree or disagree with it, as every single feline is a story for itself.

Measuring the intelligence on a scale from 1 to 10, with ten as the highest level, here it comes:

The only one that got 10/10 was the Sphynx.

Balinese, Bengal, Colourpoint Shorthair, Havana Brown, Javanese, Oriental, and Siamese got a high 9.

Receiving a high 8 felines include Russian Blue, Siberian, Singapura, Burmese, Devon Rex, Turkish Van, Japanese Bobtail, Korat, Chartreux, Turkish Van, Egyptian Mau, Tonkinese, and Norwegian Forest Cat.

Still remaining on the “brighter side” of our list, with 7 out of ten are British Shorthair, Cornish Rex, Ragdoll, Scottish Fold, Abyssinian, Cymric, American Wirehair, Maine Coon, Somali, American Curl, Snowshoe, and Manx.

The list of those receiving 6 is a rather short one. Keeping it short, the first to start is American Shorthair, along with Bombay and Birman.

Getting to the very bottom of the list, now is the time to mention our beloved main character of the story, Persian cat, ranking 4 out of ten.

But, the good thing is that it’s not the last one on the list, as the Himalayan and Exotic Shorthair received 3 out of ten.

But once again, it’s not only intelligence that matters when choosing a pet cat. There are some other more important factors, such as lifespan, general health, shedding level, grooming, affection level and few more.

These are the best parameters that may be of help when deciding which would be the most suitable breed for you.

Common Facts on Persian Cats

Being among the most popular pedigree breeds in the world, this easy going and sweet-tempered feline is the ultimate lap cat. As long as there is a loyal human companion nearby, to take good care of it, it’ll be gentle and satisfied.

To confirm that, it’ll meow in a soft and melodious voice. What it lacks in intelligence, a Persian greatly compensates with a high level of affection towards owners.

But, there’s one important thing you should know about them. Besides not being so bright, nature has given them another not so good gift.

These lovely felines are prone to numerous health issues, mostly inherited. The most common ones have to do with their flat-faces and obesity.

Speaking of, this is the thing where a responsible owner can be of help. Having in mind that they are indoor cats, obesity is among their greatest enemies.

That’s why a cat parent needs to establish a strict routine when will a cat have a meal and be precise with the amount. Of course, giving your pet a quality food is a must. Besides this, provide it with enough fresh water.

So, whether you are planning to buy or adopt one, it is of vital importance to get to know the breed well. Only that way you will be able to take proper care of a pet.

Moreover, make sure you take it from a reputable breeder or adopt it from a shelter where conditions are satisfactory. A health certificate is also a significant thing to ask for.

So, leave the intelligence aside, if you are ready to a commitment which pays of in the cuddliest way you can imagine, then Persian cat is just the one you need.

As long as you are informed how to look after it properly, and ready to devote some significant amount of time grooming it, you will get the greatest unconditional love a cat can give to its human parent.

Can They Learn Tricks?

Now, we discussed their intelligence, or to be precise, the absence of it, but still, we hope. Not just we, but every other Persian cat parent hopes that maybe there’s a way to make the kitty look brainy. So, we try our luck with some simple tricks.

High five is the first that comes to one’s mind. Remember all the devotion, patience, and time we mentioned? We have all of them, in significant amounts. Plus, some food to make the offer more attractive.

The first thing to do is pet the kitty to make it feel relaxed, say some good and encouraging words, show the feline what to do and… Nothing happens!

After a few attempts fulfilled with an aspiration to get the cat to understand what to do, something happens. The cat makes a move that really looks like exactly the same as high five!

It makes you wanna jump with joy, as it was like, the fifteenth attempt, but at the same time, some doubts appear.

Did the cat really realize what you want it to do? Was it by accident? Or was it the food you were holding in your hand the feline was trying to reach for?

So, you repeat the whole procedure over and over again. Sooner than you realize, the whole day is gone, and all in all- you have just three or four high five (wannabes).

We did it on purpose, making all this sound funny. But it is more or less the truth. They are really slow learners, some would be brutally honest and say-no learners at all. But again, we cannot blame them because that’s what nature decided.

You can always try, but don’t let the fails disappoint you. And do not use too much food, as you know that obesity is their great enemy.

If the price of a trick learned is a fat kitty, it’s not worth it. They are meant to be cuddled and they really make great pets.

Related Questions

How long do Persian cats live? Having in mind that you should keep them as indoor cats exclusively, they have a rather long lifespan. It goes somewhere between 12 and 17 years, with 14.1 as an average.

Are Persian cats good with children? Due to their laid-back temper, they may be labeled as kid-friendly cats. Still, never leave younger kids without supervision as sudden movements, screaming and over-affectionate behavior may disturb the animal.

Extraordinary Hypoallergenic Cats For Sale

By Margaret Hayes

There are no perfectly hypoallergenic cats, but there are some that have less of the Fel d 1 glycoprotein. First of all, it's not really a hair that causes allergic reaction, it has more to do with cat's saliva and dandruff. So, if you are interested in finding hypoallergenic cats for sale, consider buying one of these beautiful breeds. They are all so beautiful that it will be hard to choose just one. Siamese is probably the most recognizable. Some people think they don't make very friendly pets, but this certainly isn't so. They are actually really clever, kind and well-behaving creatures, really devoted to their owners. They are so amazing that were often used in designing other popular breeds with similar characteristics, for example, Balinese. This lovely animal has shorter hair, but great personality. Burmese has exceptionally beautiful color, in warm and soft shades of brown, combined with darker areas. The hair is especially soft, and these lovely animals also have very nice nature, they are tolerant, friendly and really sweet creatures. Just as previously mentioned cats, they are suited for people suffering from allergies, and make really nice pets. Colorpoint Short hair is also related to Siamese, and Javanese is the version of the same breed, but with significantly longer hair. Both these animals are highly intelligent, gentle and friendly. They look elegant and sophisticated, but their nature is kind and gentle, and they are probably among the most intelligent cats, according to their owners. Most people aren't aware of the fact there are also some cats with curly coats. These lovely looking curly animals will certainly interest you. Cornish Rex and Devon Rex have curly coats and they are simply adorable. The only problem is to choose between these two breeds. Both are nice, friendly and with interesting personalities, and quite rare. Just pick one of them, you just cannot go wrong. If you have a little more money to spend, here are a few really amazing cats for you. The first one is, of course, highly popular Siberian cat. This great animal is something really special, beautiful, kind, extremely playful, intelligent and nice. She makes just perfect family pet, and you won't make a mistake choosing her. This breed comes in several astonishing colors and patterns. Another expensive, but great looking breed is called Bengal. This is really a cross-breed between Asian Leopard Cat and the domestic one, and the result is one really beautiful, amazing animal anyone would like to have as a pet. Sphynx has no hair, but some people prefer this elegant and extraordinary looks. These animals are really clever and have exceptionally nice personalities. Ocicat is exceptionally playful and lovable, and this breed is a result of cross-breeding Abyssinian with Siamese. Russian Blue is also highly popular and really appreciated breed. This elegant, but lovable and friendly, clever and devoted animal, makes perfect pet for any family. Extraordinary combination of beauty and character makes this breed highly appreciated. But, all these breeds are amazing, and it might be difficult to make your choice.
