Strange And Wonderful Cat Breeds
Dusty Rainbolt, Author of ‘Cat Wrangling Made Easy' (& many others) joins Deborah Wolfe to discuss strange and wonderful cat breeds. Have you wondered about the exotic breeds of cats or maybe you think a Serval cat is right for you ? Deborah explains why a Serval cat is a nightmare for most people. Did you know their poops are triple the size of normal cats, and they need a gigantic litter box which they may not use!
And there is more. …listen to the show to find out just how primitive these Serval cats are and how ill suited as pets. Today’s show tells the truth about the different breeds; which cats are known to be quiet, which are needy, and which need a lot of care. Persians, Turkish Vans, Main Coon, Bengals, and Abyssinian cats are discussed in comparison to other pedigreed cats including the common domestic shorthaired tabby.
Dusty explains that behaviour is of course connected to the individual animal and its upbringing especially early on, but that still there are some facts about the breeds that hold true. If you don’t want to brush your cat every day…. don’t get a Persian! A Persian cat that is not properly brushed every day often becomes a cat in pain and then a cat who is difficult for the owners. Deb and Dusty also cover how to select a kitten or puppy and cover the important steps of early socialization.
