Breeds of cats.

Shorthaired cats have very short hair and shed a minimum amount in the summer and don’t shed in the winter. They are often playful and like to snuggle. They can be defensive about their territory depending on their parents.

Longhaired cats shed a lot no matter the season. They often want to snuggle and can be lazy. They are not usually too defensive unless they are provoked or are a mixed breed.

Persian cats are very vain and can spend hours deeply involved in paw licking. They are not very defensive and would not enjoy attacking little dangling objects held in front of them. They enjoy snuggling and are considered the most beautiful of cats.

Calico cats are very energetic and are always concerned about their beauty. They are very defensive and don’t catnap when humans are around. If you want an active cat, this’ll be your dream-cat.

Siamese cats are one of the funny type and love to cat nap, but not when a humans is around. Siamese cats can get very pricy depending on their purity. Most are active and moderately defensive.

Bengal cats are always active and are very defensive. When provoked they can be very dangerous. They will scratch and claw to no end. They are not very forgiving and have a good memory.

Maine Coon cats are very energetic and in characteristics are much like Calico cats. They have thick tails and are medium haired. They are not vain at all and are very, very friendly.

Russian Blue cats like to keep to themselves most of the time. They are not much fun but are very relaxed and are usually shy. They are an unusual shade of blue and have slanted eyes.

Manx cats have no tail and can be very short and stout. Manx cats are usually friendly and enjoy new things to play with.

Newies for kitties.

Want a cat? First thing to do is choose a breed.

After you have chosen a breed think whether you want a kitten or cat. Kittens are more energetic and are more beautiful but they don't last forever and in a couple of years, will turn into a cat. Cats are calmer and are more intelligent than kittens.

The next step, is to choose a cat (or kitten). This is the difficult part. You may want visit your local pet shop or shelter a few times and "interview" your favorite pets. The people there will tell you the best cat foods and litters for your new companion. Once you get your pet, make sure to give it lots of attention by playing, cuddling, and feeding your pet.

If your cat likes to scratch up your furniture as a game, then a scratching post would be good for it. If the scratching post does not work, try luring your cat to it with treats. If it still doesn't work, you might want to get your cat's claws removed.

Your cat, (or kitten), will want toys. A toy can be home-made or store-bought. Most people would recommend home-made toys. For one, they don't cost you anything and for two, they save you time. A home-made toy can be anything from a piece string to a home-made lightwood mouse. If you want to buy a store-bought toy, you can buy one at any pet shop.
