Well Known Cat Breeds And The Personalities They Display
Like dogs there are many different types of cat breeds. Each feline family has its own distinct trait and they make wonderful family pets. The Manx, Siamese, Persian, Russian Blue, and Burmese are just a few of the feline families that are found all over the world. Along with their differing colorings and markings the kitties of the world have their own personalities.
The Burmese families come in a variety of colors from tortoiseshell to solid colors including silver platinum and honey beige. These kitties are extremely friendly and are extremely talkative to people and other animals. They love hanging out on a lap and playing with kitty toys.
The Russian Blue has a short dense coat that helps them survive in the Siberian winters where they originate from. These felines are also very intelligent and quite friendly making them ideal for family settings. They enjoy making the room know they have arrived and also enjoy watching a situation before they decide to act.
Persian felines have been around for many years even though there exact origins are unknown. Unlike other kitties they prefer a quiet environment and do not enjoy being held in a rough manner. This makes them ideal for families that have older children or no children living at home. With their scrunched noses and bob tails they have an adorable expression on their faces at all times.
The Manx family is probably most recognized because they have no tails. This is a genetic defect that caused the kitties to be born without the proper skeletal vertebrae for a tail. The average weight of a full grown male is 10-12 pounds and a female is 8-10 pounds. In addition to being very playful with the proper introductions they can get along fine with other pets.
Siamese are very intelligent, graceful and loyal. They love to play and can play fetch with the best of them. They however should not be left alone for any length of time at all. Getting a second Siamese is recommended if the kitty will be left alone for any period of time.
