My cat had a harness just like the figure 8 one, I took him out on it once and he got out! He was gone for a whole month and when we finally got him back he was skinny and had reverted back to feral status. i don't reccommend taking a cat outside at all unless it is in a carrier.

Male Calico's are possible, but rare, most are sterile, and if they are not and they breed your going to have problems. Females are xx and males are xy. Color is carried on the x chromisone which means male calico's must be xxy which means they are hermaphridites. Either way they should be...

Please think it over before getting ANY type of wild cat, even if its an f4 or whatever. I know a lady who bred magnificent white persians, she also had a serval, they got along great until one day. She woke up to see everyone of her cats slaugtered and her serval was the only one left.

Wow, sounds like a lot of work, becoming a respectable person in any association would require a ton of work. Sounds like a good associtaion. Yes, I know CFA has a ton of political-ness to it. I never thought people could be so obvious about it until I clerked for a judge who it was extremly...

Hehehe, sorry "Dan", it was late and I was tired..but hey, Im not blaming all my problems on the clock, I can't help that Im a freak! I currently show in CFA. It takes a *lot* to be a CFA judge, well 1500 cats sounds like a lot too. We have to breed 10 consectutave years for each specialty...

There are three types of breeding. Inbreeding, Linebreeding, and Outcrosses. Inbreeding and Linebreeding are not the same. Most breeders linebreed. Linebreeding has pros such as an increase in homozygosity its con is that you MUST have a extremly high quality individual in both the sires and...

Have you had him checked out by a vet? One of my cats had pancreatic insufficiancy and he has to have pred and viokase every day or else he gets "the runs". You also may want to try an all meat diet, or foods like innova, california natural, or wellness. One of my other cats was constantly...

Yes, utirine infections can be hard to detect, even experienced breeders miss them, untrained and inexpirianced people can lose cats to infections. My friends cat got pyo, she tried to save her uterus because she was such a beutiful girl, after two weeks of fighting the infection it still...

Cats heat last approximatly a week, they repeat the cycle every other week. Every heat cycle she has will drastically increase the cats chance of pyo and also mamary cancer, utarine cancer, and other reproductive problems. They will not stop heat until they are pregnant, which I would not let...

I don't think NFC's get extremly large. They are larger than some cats but not as big as a Coon. Wegies are mostly coat, they have massive coat when taken care of properly. Of course you can never be sure you are getting a large cat, one of my MC's has a huge father but she isn't nearly as...

She is no particular breed, a Domestic Short Hair. Her Color/markings are a poorly marked brown spotted tabby and white. The reason her tail is carried in a circle is probably due to genetics, a defect similar to a kink in the tail, I have a cat that has a curly tail. I saw your post on the...

When I finish setting up my cattery and getting my cats I will not let my cats go until 16 weeks of age. That is not *old* and if someone comes to me wanting a 6 week old kitten they can kiss my rear, I want the best for my kittens and will give them the best. Owners will breach contract and...

Not only is keeping kittens with their mother and litter mates until 4 months good for health it is also good for socialzation. Beleive it or not a kitten kept with its mother for 4 weeks is more social than a kitten who is adopted at 6 weeks. Here is an article I read on FBRL...

First off cats do not have symptoms, symptoms are a human thing, cats have signs. Second you need to keep your kitty in at all times. Because she has been out their is no guarentee she was not exposed to a virus or bacteria that could severly disfigure or kill her babies or even her. You need...

Well a Bengal is a tabby. Nearly everything is a tabby, Persians, Oritentals, Selkirk Rex, Maine Coon. Tabby is a color pattern, not a breed.

For those of you who do not show in CFA or belong to the list I would like to forward a post. Before you read this I want to give a preface. This person contacted a breeder asking for females to breed. The breeder responded with some questions. The origional post to the list was stating they...

Im going to say she is probably a silver patched tabby and white or a poorly colored brown tabby and white. Just so you know though, neither of these colors are breeds, your cat is a domestic shorthair.

You will need to find a breeder in your area, prices of Persians will vary. I have been offered free top show quality Persians with National winning parents, grandparents, etc to $500 pet quality Persians, who have no winning lines in their pedigree. Find a breeder in your area, you will want...

Well, I don't think any wild animal should really be a pet. However there are special occasions. If an animal is injured or born and relient on humans, it can not live in the wild, so it must be kept in captivity, but not nessicerily as a pet. Any wild animal is exactly that, Wild, it should...
