Preferably, we’re looking to adopt a small to medium sized dog.

Lydia asked:


I am thinking about getting another cat. My cat is an orange taby cat. Do different breeds work better together than others? Is there a difference?

ValentinaQuinn asked:


I am an animal science major and will be taking my vet tech certification test here in a year’ish time. I’m needing to update my pitiful animal book collection with some serious material pertaining to breeds (not just AKC recognized), anatomy, medical, history of cats, etc. So if you have any suggestions for one or more Excellent cat books, I would appreciate it! Thank you!

I want to have a cat and dog to take care of but don’t know which ones and at what age…I want a papilion doggy and a cat to match but I don’t know the cat breeds too much…I love cat though…I had persians and siemes and strays but I want a cat and dog that’ll match…maybe like a chiwahwah and a Chinese naked Cat
I’m not getting animals for fashion. It’s to take care of..To add to my family. I love animals…I once had like 13 dogs, 7 cats, fish, a turtle, a rabbit, and a ferret all at once…
for God’s sake..people! stop saying I’m too young to get pets and I’m not shallow…I just want to know what breeds and at what age these animals can mostly tolerate being together….I’m almost 29 golly! p.s I have 2 kids! Geesh

The Burmese cats are originated from Thailand but why are they called Burmese?Birmans are said to be from Burma but I have never seen and heard both of them.Most of cats in Burma are just ordinary south east Asian cats.

sundownrunner asked:


I am looking for a breed of cat with the following characteristics: 1. lap cat; 2.) loves to be held/carried 3.) likes to get under the covers 4.) loves cuddling/petting 5.) is trainable and loyal like a dog 6.) is laid-back and doesn’t mind my noisy and not-really-a-cat-person fiance 7.) doesn’t need a lot of grooming. I searched similar Yahoo! Q&A’s as well as the CFA profiles and found that Burmese, Ragdoll, Main Coon, and American Bobtail seem most to match these criteria. I would get a kitten in order to help mold his personality (yes, I woud get a male - more affectionate that females). In YOUR experience with cats, what would you suggest?

The pictures doesn’t show it, but his tummy is white and he has a carmel colored lining around it. His eyes start *from pupil* as blue, then goes to green, then yellow, then amber. His tail is like as long as he is. Charlie is a ticked kitty (from skin) with the colors of white, gray, and black. But some parts are brown. So yea…can someone tell me his breed!?

science chick asked:


Dog breeds come from generations of selective breeding, but so many cat breeds seem to be called breeds very quickly because of mutations.

What cats were bred with a particular purpose, and what was the purpose? Are some just from special lines that have been continued for a while even if there was no special purpose?

How long did it take from the original mutation for each of these cats to become a breed with a standard?

Like the Sphinx- random hairless cats pop up in Canada and tada- let’s keep breeding them and turn it into a breed.

Munchkin- that is a form of dwarfism isn’t it?

What other cat breeds originated from mutations?

Bengals are a whole different story- those are from wild animals because people feel the need to have an exotic pet that acts like a domestic one.

What are your feelings on these breeds? Where is the line between providing cats with predictable qualities and just providing a cat that is special for a mutation or for having wild blood?
OK- let me expand “purpose” since dogs do more defintie jobs.

What cats were bred for particular TRAITS- like a certain temperment or activity level, and what ones were bred because of a neat looking mutation?
