Kitten Zone

Scottish Fold kitten. A breed of cat with a natural dominant-gene mutation(!) that makes its ear cartilage contain a fold, causing the ears to bend forward and down towards the front of their head, which gives the cat what is often described as an “owl-like” appearance

Still cute, even tho “gene mutation” sounds quite scary

Persian cats are medium in size, have a big round head, large round eyes, short nose and small pretty ears that are set lower in comparison to other felines. Persian cats have a rather big bod with short and stout legs. Their front feet have five toes each whereas the hind ones have only four each.

These felines do not have long tails. Longhaired cats may possess two types of coat: fluffy or silk-like. It is not uncommon to see Persian cats with both types of coat.

Persians are extremely gentle and affectionate. They enjoy playing but never start games first. They tend not to jump or climb high because of their weight and short legs. Typical representatives of this breed possess a soft and silent voice, but rarely demonstrate it. From the first glance it may seem that their favourite activities are displaying their own beauty and eating. Some refer to Persians as the most frequent guests of the living room.

The Siamese is a breed of ancient Oriental cat, originating from the Southeast Himalayas. It is impossible to confuse a Siamese cat with any other cat because of its distinctive colouration. Pointed colouration refers to darker extremities, i.e.the muzzle and feet, and is a distinctive feature of the Siamese breed. Few people know that muzzle “mask” is characteristic of 15 more breeds of felines which have nothing in common with the Siamese.

According to Siamese cat breeders, it can be confidently said that “these are the most gentle, affectionate, non-capricious and considerate creatures renowned for their peaceful nature and self-esteem”.

Modern Siamese cats are very graceful. Their body is medium in size with long slender legs and small round paws. Their hind legs are slightly longer than the front ones. The neck is long and slender, the tail is straight, tapering toward the end. Their nose is long, and the chin is well-developed. The ears are large and wide at the base. Siamese have wide-set almond-shaped bright blue eyes. Their coat is short, soft, pretty and shimmery. The colours of the base coat and those of the coloured points are considerably different. The pointed areas of the “mask”, the tail and the legs are very dark and even.

Siamese cats are not jealous of other cats or dogs and can get along with them perfectly well. They constantly look for “a warm place”: a sunlit spot on the floor in summer, a radiator or an empty shelf in the wardrobe in winter.

This type of cats like being in the centre of attention, they adore being stroked and caressed and can stay on your knees for hours. It is a perfect pet for anybody, who needs companionship.
