The pointed gene is the result of a recessive gene. Many cats can mask it, if two cats mate both having the recessive gene, the resulting litter will have approximatly 1 of 4 cats who are pointed, 2 of 4 who carry the gene, and one who does not carry it. There are many cats who are pointed...

This concerns me, what do you mean by "she will be going out." Does this mean you just let her roam and breed? This is very unsafe and very irresponsible. If you want to breed cats you need to do it responsibly. There are many dangers outside and letting her breed with anyone is risking a lot...

me too

It really depends on how the cats is raised, you can have a really lovey bengal and then you can have one that bounces off the walls, I would actually steer clear of the bengals because of their wild blood, if its the wild look you want you can get an Ocicat, a cat that is just as stunning and...

Actually the buyer was notified of the cold at the time of purchase. Granted, she should have been told before hand, but telling everyone that the breeder sold the buyer a sick kitten, without telling her of a possibility of illness, is slanderous. She was warned of the possibility. That...

check out this link: http://breedlist.com/faq/young.html Newspapers are not good sources of reference. I've seen people advertize mixed breed "Maibys," or a "Russian Harliquin." No such thing. Then they want outragous prices for a mixed breed that I could get if I went to the shelter, and...

But you took a pregnant cat in so it is your responsibility to care for them properly. According to the law, if you feed her she is yours. If you take her in you have to be responsible and properly care for her. You unknowingly took in five cats, but still, its five cats that you need to care...

12 weeks is a minimum for me, 16 weeks is really best. The longer the babies are with their mom, the better socialized the kittens are. Six to eight weeks will result in behavioral problems, I cringe when I see people getting rid of kittens that young. If *you* allow her to get pregnant...

I have an Oriental Shorthair who is a retired breeder, as a kitten she was Best OSH Kitten at the International Show, they had 40 or 50 OSH Kittens that year so we are really proud of her. Then she stayed home and had babies. Now she is a tad bit fat and we are trying to get the weight off...

She looks like a brown patched spotted tabby and white to me. Once the kittens are weaned, please get her spayed. Spaying will reduce the risk of mammary and uturine cancer and will also prevent her from getting pyometria.

That is NOT red, that is cream. That is definatly not black so it would have to be a blue cream. I know about dilution, that cat is a blue cream. Are you trying to say thats BLACK and RED? If so I suggest your eyes be looked at.

She is a blue cream and white, also known as a dilute calico. She isnt a torti and white because she is blue (gray) and cream, which is the diluted version of a torti and white.

Actually the Persian standard calls for a sweet, open look. So the cats who look grumpy really arent top show either. A good Persian wont have problems with tearing and breathing. If you are going to breed cats responsibly you need to breed to the standard. The standard isnt just there for...

"Cats never look sick until after 5 and your vet is closed." AMEN! They get sick at 4:59:30 or on sundays. Thats how cats are, if you want a cat I suggest finding a vet and an emergency vet, e vets are normally more expensive (I would be too if I was spaying a pyo cat at 3AM) but when your...

Depending on where you are from, black tabby can mean many things, the first that comes to mind is a black cat with faint markings or ghost markings. In europe black tabby is what we would call a brown tabby in the states. I have a hard time getting a clear picture of these cats because my...
