Over the last thousands of years, cats have pretty much handled
their breeding themselves. In the
beginning, they were used for one purpose - hunting and killing rodents. As the years progressed, we began to breed
cats more to our liking. Now days, there
are several different breeds of cats - which you can tell if you look closely.
These days there are over 70 distinct cat breeds, which are
recognized through cat registries. There
are several registries that will recognize around 40 breeds or so, as they
exclude the more domestic breeds such as tigers. There are also many variations as well,
including wild cats that have longer hair.
There are some cat breeds who have roots going back quite a bit in
history. Some Japanese breeds, such as
the Japanese Bobtail, can be traced back more than 1,000 years in history. These cats were very common and well known
throughout Medieval Japan. Now days
though, they are all but a myth throughout Japan and the entire world.
The more common cat breeds that are found in North America include
the alley cat, long haired cat, and Persian cat. Siamese cats are also common, although they
are well known to be destructive and to have a foul temper. Persian cats are very popular, proving to be
loving companions. Persian cats can be
very expense, depending on where you get it and what type of Persian cat it is.
Alley cats are the most common in North America. There are actually several different breeds,
although most of us just refer to them as alley cats. They make good pets, although there are
literally thousands of them in existence.
Cats are known to breed more than any other pet, and they will continue
to breed until they are stopped. Alley
cats are among the most bred, as there are hundreds of thousands of cats that
are homeless - and have nothing to do but breed.
The look of the cat is the easiest way to tell what breed he or she
may be. Some people choose to go by
color, although color isn’t as easy to identify. Different breeds of cats have different
looks, such as the Siamese and Persian cats.
Siamese cats are almost always black, and easy to identify by their
color and their eyes. Persian cats on
the other hand, are easily identified by their body type and their hair.
Over the years, there has been quite a few breeds come along. Cats were one of the first pets, and easily
one of the most popular. Millions of
people around the world own cats, with many people preferring a cat over any
other pet - including dogs. No matter
breed of cat you get - you’re sure to get a pet who make for a great companion
for years and years to come.
