The Bengal cat stands out from the crowd because it is a cross of domestic and wild cats rather than simply one breed. The domestic cat chosen for this breed was the most popular breed in the United States, the American Shorthair. The selected wild cat was the Asian Leopard Cat, which roams throughout Asia, from Russia to Japan and various parts of Southeast Asia. It was a lady named Jean Sugden Mill who developed the Bengal cat. A feline enthusiast, she wished to breed a domestic cat with wild cat traits and a domestic cat’s calm demeanor. Initially, she…
For the tabby Maine Coon, the spread of the species, and the subsequent development of its environment, is an interesting point of discussion. Theories generally revolve around the idea that the breed originated through the mating of domestic short hairs and overseas longhairs introduced by sea captains (perhaps as long ago as the 11th century) or that the Norwegian Forest Cat was taken to America by the Vikings. The connection between the Norwegian Forest cat and the Maine Coon is an obvious ponderance due to the breed’s similarity and with the knowledge that the first cats with long fur which…
They passed down The ancient history of the British Shorthair breed through legend and mystery. It is one of the most ancient breeds known today. The breed started when invading Romans left domestic cats in Britain when the Romans left in the 5th century, and then the cats intermingled. Some of these would have been Egyptian cats, the breed of the first domesticated cat. The Egyptian cats probably interbred with the local European Wildcat, known as the “Scottish Wildcat” or “European Wildcat.” The offspring would have been domestic shorthaired cats with wild cats’ physical features, similar to British shorthair cats.…
It is that the ancestors of the modern-day Abyssinian cat were transported from their native Abyssinia to England on British ships around the time of England’s nineteenth-century military expedition to Abyssinia. Took The cats aboard the ship for the practical reason of hunting vermin. It was from Britain’s Abyssinian War that many of the hybrid British “bunny” or “ticked” cats derived their Abyssinian bloodlines. The Abyssinian, as it is known today, however, was developed in Great Britain and the United States, particularly between the Second World War and the 1970s. It is unclear whether or not the cats taken to…
We are devoted, for instance, to the Siamese breed. We had never really thought about getting a Siamese until we managed to clean up an abandoned Siamese kitten – and, after several weeks of trying to find it a new home, decided to keep it ourselves. Since that time, we have had several Siamese cats, and they all have the specific qualities that we like in cats: they are very affectionate, want much attention, are pretty talkative, and have a very striking appearance. Since we also want a female cat for breeding, our preference for Siamese has led to us…
Some 50 million years ago, a weasel-like animal known as Miacis was the common ancestor of land-dwelling carnivores, including the family Felidae. The Miacis later became extinct, but before they died, they went on to produce the feline and canine families. The Miacis produced Proailurus, a prehistoric cat that led Europe and Asia 25 million years ago. It was small in size, arboreal, or tree-dwelling, and it had some dental features that are more like the viverrids and the genets. When the ice age began in North America about 10 to 15 million years ago, small cats migrated to Asia…
The domestication of cats has been going on for nearly 10,000 years, and while the most incredible changes have occurred in the last 200 years, all cat domestication phases have impacted the types of cats we have today. As wildlife-forest cats became increasingly exposed to human association on the edges of villages, their less fearful, more opportunistic offspring had learned to live off of human activity and the food and refuse humans leave behind, who were the most successful. At the time, these cats had no particular interactions with the humans themselves. It was not until around the time of…
To understand the new smart watched and other pro devices of recent focus, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation. Apple’s Watch records exercise, tracks our moves throughout the day, assesses the amount of time we are stood up and reminds us to get up and move around if we have been sat for too long – let’s not forget Tim Cook’s “sitting is the new factor” line. As you’re tapping, scrolling, and swiping on your phone, you probably don’t give much thought to the fact that your apps are consuming electricity -…

To understand the new smart watched and other pro devices of recent focus, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement. Apple’s Watch records exercise, tracks our moves throughout the day, checks the amount of time we are stood up and reminds us to get up and move around if we have been sat for too long – let’s not forget Tim Cooks “sitting is the new coolness” line. What we like: Angled second screen is quite useful.Durability is top notch.Better dual-screen software.Powerful hardware features. What we dislike: Less battery life than other options.Keyboard and trackpad are flimsy.No…
