Snowy's cats, kittens and other animals thread

[starfortress]

Then is a Maine coon breed :happy: If his father was one, he must be the same breed. This breed is very well spreed in America and Europe. If Grey will have the mood to take a pic in a bright color room we will settle his final breed. Please learn him some cats manner. Is not polite to show the back to a women cat :-[ even if she is a tricolor. (calico pattern of coat)

Calico pattern-good pattern name.Grey's will catch or scracth your feets if you suddenly run in front of him,that's why i like him,he also do have high curiousity level and could easily get shocking.

Have you checked up his head size to see in which from the two breeds can be classified. I posted yesterday the exactly procedure to tell which breed is.

 

[starfortress]

A slightly difference about his ears which i think it doesn't looks like the lynx ears,the others seems ok to me.One more thing he rarely meow(only begging for a food) i think.

On page 44 are the two breeds standard files : Maine coon and Somali. You must take the cat in your arms and check up closely his head, body, tail, color of the coat to see exactly to which breed belong. Thats why at show , the owners are not sending the pic of the cat. They are bringing the cat because the jury has to examine very closely the cats features. When you finish tell me please :-[

 

[Tania]

Don't be upset about the lynx ears because if you look closely , you will notice Grey father has no lynx ear. That little lynx thing is from grooming the fur from the ear in front, to give him thats expression.

QUIZ : CAT COMMUNICATION​

PART II: THE EAR SIGNALS

QUIZ ANSWER : ALERT- WITH ATTENTION FOCUSED AHEAD
Today based on the quiz results presented above will try to explain the meaning of different ears signals:
When content and relaxed, a cat sits with its ears facing forward but tilted slightly back. However, its ears demonstrate that the cat is alert even when it appears half asleep. (from here the day dream expression noticed by zAk)

If the cat's attention is caught by a noise or a movement, its pricks its ears more upright, maybe swivelling one or both to track the source of the noise.

If the cat grows anxious, its ears move slightly back and flatten down. An fearful cat has lowered ears. The more anxious or fearful the cat is, the flatter the ears until they are lying straight backwards, flat to the skull. If the cat is fearful but aggress, the ears flatten sideways - a combination of the forward pointing "alert" ears and the flattened/lowered "fearful" ears.

If one ear is flattened and the other isn't, the signal is more ambivalent and the cat isn't yet sure how to react to what is going on around it. Generally it will withdraw a short way in order to consider the situation. While considering, the ears shift and change as it processes stimuli and possible responses. A similar highly mobile state occurs when the ears are panning round to catch noises, but the cat's entire demeanour will be one of alertness or interest, probably with a slightly twitching tail.

Ears pressed backward onto the head giving the appearance of a snake shows extreme defense (ears folded back to protect them from harm)

The ears point forward shows an offensive cat.
