Are There Better Cat Breeds as Pets?
Cats have been a part of human life since ancient times. Today they are second only to dogs in popularity. Taking care of cats is easy to do, even if you are away from your apartment for long periods of time during the day. If this sounds like your schedule, a cat as a pet is a good choice.
The majority of felines don’t come with a pedigree because most cats are derived from multiple breeds. Actually there are only a small 3% of felines that are purebred. This is because they cost a lot more than the mixed breed cat and have no significant advantages or disadvantages over the mixed breeds. Across the globe, there are now just over one hundred purebred cats that have been identified.
There are notable distinctions between the unique breeds. There are distinct types of body shapes, coat lengths, color of coat, eye color, personalities and size of the animal. Cats can be categorized as the short haired or long haired variety. The most common of the two being short hair varieties.
Long haired cats take more time to care for. They require more daily grooming and are more prone to hairballs. Also, the long fur makes it more challenging to get rid of fleas, and harder to care for any cuts they may have.
Cats do not take as much of your time as dogs, who need daily exercise. Really, all the felines need is a little food, attention and a litter box. Of course, felines enjoy playing and climbing. The occasional unexpected pounce or sweet purring in your ear are attributes of a happy cat. Additionally, because they are so adaptable, cats are great for most anyone’s living area, including apartments. Undoubtedly, these furry friends quickly become adored pets through their playfulness, affection, and loyalty.

@rossesc she feels vibrations on the floor. you should read up on deaf albino cats with two different colored eyes

Shes a beauty, I love her colour its adorable, Im sure god has a reason why he made her deaf, my cat was born with an extra bone, you can’t see it but you ca feel it.. WOW she has beautiful eyes, I love it! Shes a beautiful creature, Shes a great cat!
actually I checked that one out and she is very close to the angora. She is skinny compared to her sister
She looks like my Turkish Angora who was all white with one blue and one yellow eye. A Turkish Van has red van markings on the head (an inverted V of color) and usually a red tail. Turkish Angoras are medium, silky haired cats with a slight build. Vans are much bulkier.
you know what she might be. I googled a picture and she does have a similar tail (bushy). her sister Makota has short hairs though
Jasmine, you little sweetie.
Is she a turkish van cat. : )

Two eye colors?! That’s pretty cool.

TICA currently recognizes 55 breeds: http://tica.org/public/breeds.php
CFA current recognizes 39 breeds: http://www.cfa.org/breeds.html
Note that this doesn’t mean there’s simply 16 breeds TICA recognizes that CFA doesn’t. Both registries have cats the other doesn’t recognize as breeds.
Note, though, if you’re trying to figure out your own cat’s breeds odds are it isn’t a breed at all. Only 3% of all the cats on the entire planet are a breed. Cats were domesticated THOUSANDS of years ago and breeds only established in the last 100 or so. So most cats aren’t a breed or even a mix of breeds – they’re simply domestics.
A cat breed is an infrasubspecific rank for the classification of domestic cats. A cat is considered to be of a certain cat breed if it is true breeding for the traits that define that breed. Various cat registries around the world record and certify the pedigrees. Only three percent of owned cats belong to a cat breed, and an even smaller percentage of those are suitable as show cats. A registration certificate proves that a cat belongs to a cat breed by showing the cat’s pedigree back to at least four generations. The whole concept of cat breeds is a relatively new one. Two hundred years ago there was no such thing, however today there are almost one hundred cat breeds. Varieties of domestic cat can also be identified by characteristics other than breed. See selective breeding for more in-depth detail on purebred animals.
