Cats start breeding at six months of age, and can producethree litters a year.Caterwauling as it is called. It is the sound the male cat makeswhen sexually excited, usually as a prelude to a fight over the favorsof a female.The female cat, also know as a queen, when in heat, or seasonbegins to rub and purr. As she gets more excited, she may call,paw the ground or rollover.
Siamese females are especially vocal.During the sexual act the female crouches in front of the malewho mounts her and grabs hold of the scruff of her neck with histeeth. The male cat then kneads the female's sides and moveshis pelvis in rapid thrusts until ejaculation occurs.The mating period usually last four to seven days.If left to her own devices, a female cat may have threeto seven kittens every four months.
This is why populationcontrol using neutering and spaying is so important.Pedigree cats are bred in a catteryGestation period is about 65 days.
In fact, cats arerelatively shortsighted and during daytime tend to rely morethan us on their senses of smell and sound.
Cats have the largest eyes of any mammal (in relation to bodysize)We don't know for sure what kind of colors cats can see, butscientific tests indicate that cats can recognize at least someof the colors that we do.
A cats field of vision is about 185 degrees.A cat cannot see directly under its nose. This is whythe cat cannot seem to find tidbits on the floorYou can tell a cat's mood by looking into its eyes.
Afrightened or excited cat will have large, round pupils.An angry cat will have narrow pupils. The pupil size isrelated as much to the cat's emotions as to the degree of light.
Cats has approximately 60 to 80 million olfactory cells; a humanhas between 5 and 20 million.As hunters, cats have a good ability to detect motion. They cansee movements that are too fast for our eyes, yet find it hard tofocus on very slow movement.Like birds, cats have a homing ability that uses itsbiological clock, the angle of the sun, and the Earth'smagnetic field. A cat taken far from its home can returnto it. But if a cat's owners move far from its home,the cat can't find themCats rely heavily on their sense of smell. A cat will alwayssniff its food before eating and scent marks are an essential part offeline communication.Cats also have a unique mechanism at the top of their mouth,which enables them to make a special analysis of air molecules.A pair of organs, called Jacobson's organs or the vomeronasalorgans, let the cat analyze air that is inhaled through themouth rather than the nose.When a cat uses this special mechanism she curls back her lips,opens her mouth and seems to grimace with a smile or anexpression of disgust. This is called the flehmen reaction and isseen in connection with special scents that the cat wants tocheck thoroughly.To purr, cats use extra tissue in the larynx (voice box). This tissue vibrates when they purr.
Cats can get tapeworms from eating fleas. These wormslive inside the cat forever, or until they are removed with medication.They reproduce by shedding a link from the end of their long bodies.This link crawls out the cat's anus, and sheds hundreds of eggs.These eggs are ingested by flea larvae, and the cycles continues.Humans may get these tapeworms too, but only if theyeat infected fleas. Cats with tapeworms should be dewormed by a veterinarian.Cats can get tapeworms from eating mice.
Cats have extremely sensitive nervous systems.A cat is able to jump 5 times as high as its height.The world’s longest cat named Slinky Snowbie, measures103 cm (40.8 in) from nose to tip of tail.Every cat's nose pad is unique, and no two nose prints are thesame.Cats are the only animals that purr.
They purr at about 26 cyclesper second.Cats respond better to women than to men, probably due to thefact that women's voices have a higher pitch.Purring does not always mean that a cat is happy; some catswill purr loudly when they are scared or hurt.Like us, cats have touch receptors all over their body.
These nerve cells transfer sensations of pressure, temperature and painfrom any point to the brain.The most sensitive places on the cat's body, where the nervecells are concentrated, are the face and the front paws. This is because these are the most important body parts the catuses while hunting.The cat's whiskers are the most sensitive of all. The specialhairs, called vibrissae, are set deep within the skin andprovide the cat with sensory information about the slightestair movement around it - a valuable tool for a nocturnal hunter.A litter of kittens is a kindle.It is estimated that there are over 60 million feral cats in theUnited States.
People who are allergic to cats are actually allergic to theirsaliva or their dander (regular bathing can help with theallergies).It has been scientifically proven that stroking a cat can lowerone's blood pressure.The average cat can be expected to live for an average of15 to 16 years.

Most cats will sleep forabout 16 hours a day.If your cat rolls over on his back to expose his belly, he/shetrusts you.When your cats rubs up against you, you are being markedwith his/her scent.W
hen your cat pushes his/her face against your head, it's asign of affection.Sometimes cats may hiss or make other sounds during play,but there is usually no loud wailing and howling.
Alfred Says:You know that cats are carnivores, meaning they are meat eaters. They don't have the ability to manufacture proteins in their liver as dogs and humans do, thus they have to get their proteins from food.Complete proteins come from meat sources. Incomplete proteins comefrom grains. Incomplete proteins do not have all the amino acidspresent required to form what we call a complete protein.Also you will want to consider the presence of harsh chemical preservativesthat are in some foods, such as BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin. All have beenproven to play a role in various degenerative diseases such as kidney and liver disease, and cancer.Now, what do you believe would be better for your precious Kitty, a foodthat has a cancer causing agent, or a food that has all naturalpreservatives?Our suggestion then is to look for a kitten or cat food that has at least 2 to 3 meat sources of proteins to every one grain source.

TYPES OF CATS
BREEDS OF CATS
There are numerous breeds of cats. There is the Pedigree or pure bred cats (a cat whose ancestry in a recognized breed has been recorded and registered through at least four generations) and the Non Pedigree or the cross bred cats. It was in the 19th century that the first pedigree (with a family lineage) breeds were developed. Among the pedigree ones itself, there are more than 300 breeds and varieties recognised now, with the main distinguishing characteristics being body type- head shape and the length of hair. The latter feature is, perhaps, the most straightforward method of categorising pedigree and non-pedigree cats.
Depending on their length of hair pure bred cats are classified into long hairs, semi long hairs and short hairs. There are two basic body types, one is 'cobby' with a compact sturdy body and a deep chest, broad shoulders and hind quarters, short legs and tail and a short, round head (eg. British short hair and the Persian) and the other non cobby type is slender and lithe with long legs and the head narrow and wedge shaped (eg. the Siamese). There are various intermediate types in between these two extremes. Classification of breeds differ in different countries. The number of cats in particular breeds also varies enormously.
Anyone venturing into the pedigree world as a new comer would be well advised to choose one of the older breeds as larger and longer a breed has been established, the more likely it is that any problems have been bred out. There are so many cats varying greatly in appearance and, to some degree, temperament-from which to choose. Some of the breeds and their features are given below.

CATS
Cats, are believed to be first domesticated by the ancient Egyptians over 8,000 years ago around 2600 BC. They were later venerated as a sacred animal and were even mummified by the Egyptians when they died. It was only in the 19th century that the first pedigree (with a family lineage) breeds were developed. In fact, more than 300 breeds and varieties are recognised now, the main distinguishing characteristics being head shape and the length of hair.
The Domestic cat is one of the 38 species of the cat family or Felidae. They are the descendants of maybe three or four of the wild Felidae species, foremost of which is the Felis silvestris lybica or the African Wild cat. Besides the Pedigree and non pedigree domestic pet cats, there are the Working cats kept for their rodent catching ability and the Feral cats, the descendants of cats which at one time have been domesticated at least to some extent.
Cats are very independent among the pets, living by their own set of rules. But they need and value companionship and make wonderful pets.These quiet creatures groom themselves and come in a wide variety of colors, coats and generally placid temperaments. Most of them are best suited to indoor as well as outdoor life. You can make a good relationship with these pets and develop mutual understanding, tolerance and respect.
