The best choise of feline friend for your family home

The selection of household Cat.

If you've been thinking about taking care of a cat but are still indecisive on which is the correct for you, then this is right for you. Here, we research some of the main types of cat to help you make an knowledgeable choice. First, in your local bookshop or library you should find whole host of books and resources that can help you choose a cat that will not battle with your personality and modus vivendi.

Just taken a new kitten to your home:
If you've already taken ownership of a kitten remember to not let it out into the garden until such time as it's grown to be at least six months old. You might not consider your back garden a wilderness, but there are predators that pose a threat to your kitten until it reaches a greater level of maturity and size.

First Of All, one of the essential questions you will need to answer is whether you are looking for an indoor cat or an outdoor cat.

The Tomcat: The Soldier of the outside
The Tomcat is a mixed breed, similar to the mongrel in dogs, and are outstanding survivors suited perfectly to the outdoors. They are a good all-rounder breed with good resiliency, health and a formidable life-span. This is an ideal mixed-breed for first-time cat owners.

The graceful Siamese Cat:
The Siamese cat can be quite high maintenance and requires a lot of tending. They enjoy people's company and are very affectionate by character. Having said that, they don't like to be left alone and can take to the furniture and fabrics is left for longer periods of time. The Siamese cat is a extroverted creature - which explains their very vocal nature - and they are considered to be one of the most intelligent of all the cat species. If a Siamese cat is acquired from a very early age, they bond very strongly with their owner, and become very possessive of that person.

The Amazing Manx Cat:
The Manx cat is clear to spot because it has either an exceptionally short tail or no tail at all. This lack of a tail does have a negative side-effect, (the tail helps to form a protection for other tailed breeds) that the Manx cat is prone to suffering from worms and other parasites. But simply because it has this minor problem (which can easily be rectified with treatments), you shouldn't look across the breed. The Manx cat is a very intelligent and playful cat - if not more intelligent than the Siamese cat - and will quite happily bring balls and bring them back to you. It’s a bit like a dog in the form of a cat! Like the Siamese cat, the Manx cat doesn't like to be left alone for long periods, so it's prefered that they are in the company of other cats. Because of its devilish nature, the Manx cat makes a strong choice if you're thinking about getting a cat for your children.

The Persian Cat:
In time the Persian breed is one of the oldest of all the cat breeds. They are long-haired with a marvelously luxurious and shiny coat. They can be black, white as well as a mixture of the two, with brown around the face. The Persian cat is, like the Siamese, a very well-meaning cat; although by distinction, the Persian Cat tends to be more allergic to health troubles. They are not as playful as the other breeds of cats but are sociable and like being around people. The Persian cat is most inclined sitting on your lap!

This is a succinct summary of three of the main breeds in the feline kingdom, but you’ll find a large range of cats to choose from. If you do your research, and select wisely, you’ll receive a life-long acquaintance, and have a very rewarding experience.
