Catkin Cats Reveal Their Secrets The Cats have changed our lives.
They can change yours, too.
Cats are wonderful, loving creatures. It's not uncommon to see a cat
in every other home, sleeping cozily on the laps and furniture of
their owners. It wasn't always this way. It is said that the cat
wasn't domesticated until about 5000 years ago, in the valley of the
Nile, but where did they come from?
The people of Upper Egypt had learned to grow and harvest their own
crops. The wellbeing of the people depended on these crops. A means
of storage had to be used. At first, these people just kept their
grain in baskets, which they soon found was a mistake. Mice, rats
and other vermin were eating the grain. This, in turn, attracted the
African Wildcat. These cats ate the vermin that was destroying the
crops.

The people were grateful to the cats and encouraged them to stay by
feeding them fish heads and other scraps. The cats, being abundantly
fed and seeing the men as no threat to them, moved in permanently.
The African Wildcat was naturally calm and adapted well to living
with humans. With time, the cats allowed the humans to approach
them, even touch and hold them.

Cats proved to be loyal and endearing companions. They made for
excellent hunters, since they sleep in a series of short periods and
wake much easier than dogs do. This made their work possible night
and day. Cats can also see better than dogs at night and their
hearing surpasses a dog's. Cats would even wake the dogs in the
house if they heard something suspicious that the dogs managed to
sleep through. They got along greatly with the dogs and humans loved
them.

Today, cats are used for show and companionship. Most people don't
keep cats for hunting vermin anymore, as this is generally
unnecessary in this day and age. There are many different breeds of
cats, each different in their own way. Here are some tips to follow
when looking for a purebred kitten.

Look for a kitten in your area. You'll want to visit and inspect the
cattery of your choice before you make any decisions to purchase, so
finding a breeder in your area will make this more feasible. The
cattery should be clean and in good order. There shouldn't be an
overcrowding of kittens and their habitat should be open and clean.
The litter boxes should be kept up nicely and the food and water
dishes full and clean. The kittens should never be caged. If there
are breeding males present, their cages should be large and clean.
The cats should look healthy, having full, shiny coats and no ribs
showing.

The kittens should be used to being handled everyday. They should be
sweet and outgoing, not timid and afraid. Cats that are handled
regularly have a better temperament. Ask to see the parents of the
kittens. Both parents should have good temperament and be very
healthy. This will also help determine the personality of your
kitten. Ask the breeder how soon after birth they sell the kittens.
A good breeder doesn't allow the kittens to be taken home until they
are at least twelve weeks of age. Some even wait until they are
sixteen weeks of age. This is to ensure the health of the kitten is
good and that the immune system has developed properly.
Cats Tickets We have a wide selection of Cats tickets at low prices.
Also, ask if there is a waiting list. Good breeders don't have an
overabundance of cats and many have waiting lists you can be placed
on to ensure you get the kitten of your choice. If the waiting list
is too long, or there are no kittens available at the time you want
one, the breeder might refer you to another cattery.
