Breeds of red cats

credit: Big Cats/BBC The rusty spotted cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus) is considered to be the smallest cat in the world, but it is a formidable predator and a strong competitor that is best not faced one-on-one in the forest. It is quite small and fits entirely in the human palm, and its length ranges from 35 to 48 cm, including a tail, the length of which varies from 15 to 30 centimeters. The rusty spotted ginger cat weighs from 0.9 to 1.6 kg. This South Asian carnivore is considered a rare species and was listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN in 2002. They have a relatively limited distribution and are found primarily in wet and dry deciduous forests and grasslands in India and Sri Lanka. The world's smallest cat prefers dense vegetation and rocky areas.

Care and maintenance

If you decide to purchase a pet such as a Scottish Fold Fold, first organize the placement of the cat.
It is necessary to buy a tray, food and toys in advance so that the baby can immediately adapt to the new place. The list of mandatory care measures includes:

- Combing. Use a stiff or wire brush. Comb several times, both with and against the coat. These cats love to be brushed against the grain.

- Ears. Clean them carefully at least once a week. They sometimes have excessive sulfur output, which must be removed.

- Eyes. Lightly wipe your eyes with the end of a cotton pad soaked in boiled water once a week.

- Claws. They often know how to use a scratching post. But if you are not accustomed, try to trim once a month.

The animals are not usually sickly, but they do have genetic problems. Bone diseases are the most common. Moreover, these sores can occur at any age - the skeleton may become deformed, the tail may become inactive, or the limbs will begin to thicken. This is called osteochondrodysplasia.

If you notice a change in your pet’s gait, see that he reacts painfully to touching his tail, has no desire to jump, or has a squat appearance in his figure, contact your veterinarian immediately.

It is necessary to monitor the pet's health. In addition, they are susceptible to heart disease, bronchitis, and diabetes. These diseases are not congenital, and also require timely diagnosis and treatment.

Raising a cat

To fully communicate with an animal, it is necessary for it to learn its name. When you communicate with a baby, he comprehends a certain amount of words and phrases. This is how he develops a unique vocabulary. Cats learn a certain set of words: some perceive entire phrases and cope with the task given to them by their owner quite successfully; others make do with one-syllable commands. It should be remembered that these graceful animals always react to the emotional connotation of the phrase or command with which they are addressed.

The little red cat quickly remembers his nickname, as well as the names of family members and their friends. He can easily distinguish the command “walk” from the command “place” or “come to me.” It is recommended to practice such commands not only at home, but also while walking on the street.

In order to teach a kitten to eat at a certain time, it is necessary to begin training from the first months of its stay in the house. At this age, cats are very receptive, so each feeding can be used to practice basic commands. First, you can tap the saucer on the floor and call the kitten by its name - this will be a pleasant signal for the fluffy. He will quickly remember it and then learn to run headlong when you call. After a couple of weeks, along with saying his name, you can add the command “come to me,” and when the kitten comes running to you, give him something to eat and caress.

At a young age, the brain of a furry creature, like a sponge, absorbs information coming to it from the outside world and from its owner. During this period of time, there is no need to demand from the kitten the perfect execution of commands, but they need to be constantly practiced.

To develop the understanding of the “cannot” and “can” commands in a small predator, they should be performed only in the specified sequence. At home and during walks on the street, it is recommended to practice the “no” command, which should be pronounced in a stern voice, since the baby will react not so much to the words as to the intonation with which the command was pronounced. If the pet continues to perform an action that you have forbidden it, you need to stop it and repeat the command “no” in a voice again, but under no circumstances scream - the kitten can hear well.

In addition, sign language can also be used. If the kitten understands your request and stops misbehaving, praise him and caress him with the words “well done,” spoken in a soft manner and calm intonation.

Care and nutrition

You need to care for a red and fluffy domestic cat in the same way as a pet of any other color. It is necessary to monitor your pet's diet so that it does not turn into an arrogant fat cat, like the famous cartoon character named Garfield. You will need to take into account the characteristics of the breed and ask the breeders what to feed the Maine Coon or Turkish Van, and also find out in more detail what disease the pet is susceptible to.

Important! According to experts, ginger cats tolerate anesthesia and similar drugs for pain relief less well than others. This fact has not been proven scientifically, but nevertheless it exists

Every pet needs stable and proper nutrition, healthy sleep in a place specially equipped for it, and regular examinations by a veterinarian.

Instilling good habits

The first thing you need to teach your furry animal is to go to the toilet in a specially designated place. This, despite popular belief, is a fairly easy process, but it will require a lot of your patience. By nature, the cat family is very clean, so its representatives carefully bury the products of their vital activity. However, any animal in the house must have a place for a toilet.

The main mistakes that new kitten owners make:

They let this process take its course, and then punish the animal and try to teach it to defecate in the right place;
From the very beginning, they punish the cat for the puddles he left and poke his nose into them.

Such methods of toilet training will only lead to the ginger cat starting to shit all over the rooms and in hard-to-reach places. It will be very difficult to correct this later.

In order to properly toilet train your purring friend, you need to:

Choose a potty for the cat. The most suitable is a plastic vessel that is easy to clean. The edges of the pot should be low so that the kitten can easily jump into it. Toilets for kittens with a mesh are very convenient, thanks to which the animal has clean paws;
The cat litter box should be located, if possible, in a quiet place, away from household appliances that make noise. It is necessary to ensure that the cat is not interfered with by children or dogs;
Take the time to catch your kitten just as he is about to go to the toilet. Direct it to the place prepared for this. Make sure that every time the fluffy intends to do his wet business, he only goes to the toilet and does not choose other places in the house;
After the kitten goes to the toilet for the first time according to its natural needs, pet and praise it, and also treat it with something tasty.

Red Maine Coon cats

Fluffy Maine Coon cats are considered the largest of all domestic cat breeds. Adulthood lasts for four years, although cats of other breeds reach maturity by two years. The history of the origin of the breed is shrouded in mystery. Due to its resemblance to a lynx and a raccoon, the cat was nicknamed the Maine coon cat. The Maine Coon can come in a variety of colors. Red cats look very beautiful: it seems that they were touched by the sun itself.

Big cats that look like lynxes are actually completely non-aggressive. They get along with children and other pets. In terms of intelligence and affection for their owner, Maine Coons are compared to dogs. Cats of this breed are exceptionally kind. They love communication, so they may seem intrusive. Maine Coons meet their owner from work, climb into his bed, follow his heels, not wanting to be left alone. Cats of this breed can be born with polydactyly - a large number of fingers.

British cat

The white British kitten is very rare. According to the standard, six must have a pure color without the slightest tint or spots. Most often, cats have blue or orange eyes. Representatives of the breed have soft fur that resembles a teddy bear.

Pets have an independent character, so they are considered self-sufficient. If you don't want to play with the animal, it won't force itself on you. But at the same time, the British love to play. They are not characterized by aggressive behavior. They can tolerate loneliness for a while, but prefer the company of people.

History of the Norwegian Forest Cat breed

Norwegian Forest Cat
As you can guess from the name (in different dialects of the Norwegian language, “forest” sounds differently, so there are two options in use - Norsk skogkatt or Norsk skaukatt), these fluffy beauties come from the Scandinavian forests. Scientists today do not have accurate data on how long they live next to humans. The hypothesis is very popular that the countdown dates back to the 16th century, when Angora cats arrived in Western Europe from Ankara. The harsh climate of the peninsula and the need to climb trees a lot led to the appearance of undercoat, strengthening of the claws and the formation of an athletic physique.

However, we cannot completely discount the possibility that, under the influence of external factors in the new environment, the Angora mutation responsible for the length of the coat occurred and became established in Felis silvestris grampia, regardless of its Mediterranean relatives. And those same wild Scottish cats were brought to the territory of modern Norway by the Vikings, who colonized the Shetland, Orkney and Hebrides islands back in the 9th-10th centuries. This version is supported by the traditional image of the leader of the Valkyries, the goddess of fertility, love and war, Freya - the ancient sagas depict her in a chariot drawn by two cats, whose bushy tails are clearly reminiscent of our today's heroes.

In the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries, many Norwegian and Swedish families kept these cats as pets. In the 1930s, after their triumphant appearance at an international exhibition in Germany, serious work began on the phenotype of the breed, the goal of which was to preserve the best natural qualities and weed out undesirable traits. But with the outbreak of World War II, this had to be forgotten, and in the second half of the 40s, the very existence of the Norwegians was threatened due to spontaneous crossing with other cats. The situation was brought under control only by the efforts of enthusiasts. A special committee was created that gave permission for breeding only to those owners whose animals met the standard. The efforts of the Norwegian Association of Pedigree Cat Fanciers were rewarded: King Olav V recognized Skogkatts as the official breed of the country, and in 1977 Pans Truls received the coveted registration with the International Cat Federation (FIFe). By the way, it was he, together with Pippa Skogpuss, who is considered the founder of the modern breed. Born from their union, Pans Silver became the father of 12 litters at once and today is mentioned in almost every pedigree of a purebred Norwegian.

World recognition gave breeders the right to draw up international pedigrees. At the same time, the export of Norwegian forest cats abroad began. Now most of these pets live in Sweden, but other European countries are not far behind. In the USA, local Maine Coons (which, by the way, some are inclined to consider as descendants of the Norwegians) are too serious competition for guests from overseas to speak of real popularity. In Russia, among large breeds, Siberians are still numerically superior, although specialized nurseries have already been opened in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Vladivostok and some other cities.

Mr. Cat recommends: adaptation of a new tenant

Little kittens adapt to a new environment quite quickly, but your pet needs to make this period as easy as possible. At first he will miss his mother and look for her, but after a few days he will start exploring the expanses of the apartment.

If you do not plan to let your tailed pet into your bed, then it is necessary to accustom him to a house or bedding from the first days.

The animal will choose a place to sleep itself, and a house should be placed there or a special bedding should be laid.

Moving and being separated from mom is stressful for a small animal. At first, he may refuse to eat and drink. You need to accustom him gradually, over time he will begin to eat normally.

The pet will also choose its own place to go to the toilet. He may start meowing loudly while circling in one place. This happens if the nursery or breeder has already trained him to use a tray. Where he has designated a place for himself, the pot is placed. Sometimes a kitten can quietly pee in some corner, and the owner simply will not notice it.

In any case, it is almost useless to accustom a kitten to a tray placed in a place chosen by the owner: he will go to the place where he did it for the first time.

In this matter, a person will have to adapt to a small pet. If the cat is not accustomed to the tray, then he needs to be shown several times what this item is intended for: as soon as the animal begins to “dig” a hole for its business, you need to place it in the tray.

Breed standard

The World Cat Federation has prescribed the following standard of appearance for Persian cats.

The squat, large or medium-sized body is supported by low, stable paws. The chest and shoulders should be broad and muscular.
The thick coat, up to 12 centimeters long, is fine and silky. The neck, shoulders and chest have a collar-shaped coat of fur.
The not very long fluffy tail is slightly rounded at the end.
The head is round and massive, of good proportions, with a voluminous skull.
The forehead should be prominent and the cheeks should be full.
Persians have a short and wide, slightly snub nose with very open nostrils.
Strongly built jaws and chin.
The ears are small, set wide and low on the skull. They should be rounded at the ends, with beautifully growing tufts of hair.
The eyes are large, very expressive, shiny, round and spaced far apart. Their color depends on the specific coat color (they can be blue, golden and even multi-colored).
The coat can be either one color or consist of two or three shades.
The weight of the animals varies from 3 to 7 kg.

Signs associated with ginger cats

Red cats, just like black ones, are haunted by all sorts of legends.

It is believed that red pets are always obstinate and overly independent. In fact, there is often a very strong emotional connection between an animal and its owner.
Picking up a ginger kitten on the street and bringing it into the house means attracting prosperity and good luck. Since the fiery color is no more common among street vagabonds than among their purebred relatives, not everyone will experience such happiness.
Some people believe that a sunny-colored cat absorbs negative energy and protects a person from negative influences.

They also say that they purr louder than others, cure alcoholism, and predict illness and death. The only true observation is expressed in the popular saying “a cat in the house means happiness in it.”

Feature of white cats

White pets look very beautiful. Many housewives want to have such a pet. Standards for all breeds require pure color without blemishes or opalines. Only small marks are possible, which appear at a young age and then disappear. This is worth remembering when choosing a pet. White fur is caused by the absence of a certain pigment – melanin.

Some people find it incredibly difficult to keep a white-haired cat because of the constant need to keep it clean. Actually this is not true. If you want to have such a pet, carefully study all the breeds. Among them you can find those representatives whose coat is not prone to contamination. You can choose an animal with long or short hair. It all depends on your preferences. In general, caring for white pets is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.

White-red cat of the Turkish Van breed

The breed called "Turkish Van" dates back to the Middle Ages. The world learned about the existence of unique cats in 1955, when two English journalists saw unusual cats in Turkey that were able to swim in bodies of water without fear. The Turkish van is large in size: its weight can reach from six to ten kilograms.

The Turkish Van's coat is medium length and has no undercoat. Due to the climate in their natural habitat, cats of these breeds have shorter and coarser fur in the summer than in winter. The coat is very soft to the touch and resembles cashmere when stroked. Wool is waterproof. Color – multi-colored spots are located on a snow-white background. They occupy the surface of the head and tail. The spots can be of different shades: cream, black, blue. The color with red markings is common. Turkish Vans love to swim. Owners say that these cats are very affectionate and spontaneous.

Caring for newborn kittens

If it so happens that you have to care for a kitten from birth, then you need to take several points into account. A cat can give its child everything it needs; the owner’s task is to create comfortable conditions for the woman in labor and her offspring.

Newborn blind kittens should be placed in a warm place, without drafts. It is necessary to ensure the absence of bright light, loud sounds and other irritants. The cat can handle the rest on its own. There is no need to take kittens while they are breastfed: depending on their character, the cat may refuse to feed them further, sensing foreign odors.

Color options

Since a cat has more color options, it means that she also passes them on by inheritance:

Only the red allele O is passed from mother to male cat;
Characteristics of two parents are passed on to female kittens (genes O and O).

Other colors and color spots that were present in the animal’s relatives play a role in the formation of coat shades.

White-red cat. The white gene (W) is dominant over all others, the spotting (S), partial spotting (Sp) allele and the white recessive ww allele also work. The tendency to white spotting is always dominant in relation to solid colors.
Red tabby cat. The fiery color is never continuous. It definitely shows patterns in the form of stripes or marble spots. In genetics, this effect is called “tabby” and it is responsible for the characteristic pattern on the coat.
Red marbled cat. We are talking about shading the tabby pattern. In ginger cats it is necessarily present, but in varying degrees of contrast. A heavily shaded tabby looks like a pure color, a slight blurriness leads to a distinct pattern, a moderate shade is associated with marble stains.
Cat in light red tones. The D gene comes into play. It is responsible for color saturation and colors the hairs a deep and uniform red. But in the dd modification, lightening occurs, then the pigmentation granules in the hair structure are sparse.
Cat in black, white and red tricolor. The combination occurs only in girls. Cats are deprived of this color due to a single X chromosome, to which only one allele responsible for pigmentation can be attached. The exception is male individuals carrying the chromosomal formula XXY. But they are, as a rule, sterile and do not take part in reproduction. Therefore, the white-red and black color is the privilege of cats.
Black cat with red spots. A kitten gets tortoiseshell coloring from two parents who carry the genes for black and red hair pigmentation. Most often, girls become carriers of this combination.

Important! A total of nine colors form the main color palette of cats. An ordinary ginger cat must receive the red pigmentation gene from two parents

Otherwise, he will not have a sunny coat color.

The rusty cat is the smallest wild cat in the world

This is the smallest wild cat in the world. Its length is only from fifty to eighty centimeters including its tail and it weighs no more than two kilograms. Unfortunately, too little is known about these cats. Their species is considered endangered due to the conversion of most areas of their habitat into agricultural land.

Let's find out more about it...

It is believed that the rusty cat, called Prionailurus rubiginosa and Felis rubiginosa in Latin, is somewhat similar in appearance to the Bengal cat. Living in the wild has made her body very slender. The animal has a not very long tail and short legs. The shape of the head is round, the eyes seem to be bulging, and the ears are small. Cat fur is short and soft. Meowing is somewhat reminiscent of the voices of domestic cats.

The chest and abdomen of cats have a lighter color. The animal's muzzle is marked with stripes: white lines are located in the area of the nose and around the eyes, and black lines decorate the frontal part. The coloring of the rusty cat is very similar to its Bengal relative, only in a more faded design. The eyes of these cats - gray or honey-colored - are disproportionately huge and give the animal's face an unusual expression.

Spotted ginger cats have short legs, a round head, and small ears. The size of the animals is so small that they are one of the leaders for the title of the smallest species among all wild cats. Judge for yourself: the body length of a rusty cat is from 35 to 48 cm, the tail length is from 15 to 30 cm, and the weight rarely exceeds 1.5 kg. Even their domestic counterparts are often much larger and much heavier.

It’s not easy for a small animal in this world full of dangers, where you have to get food yourself and not get caught by larger predators. Spotted red cats live alone, hunt at night - it’s safer this way; during walks they try to stay close to the trees so that at the first sign of danger they can fly up the trunk with lightning speed.

By the way, you can also find a lot of food among the tree branches - insects, lizards and birds. The robbers' diet includes small rodents, and occasionally domestic chickens, which cats sometimes attack, and during rainy periods they readily eat frogs.

Among the many available landscapes, spotted red cats once and for all chose the mountainous and tropical forests of Sri Lanka and open dry areas or dense thickets of bushes in South India. The presence of a body of water nearby is a significant plus when choosing a habitat. Cats live in individual territories of 15-18 sq. km, the boundaries of which are carefully marked.

Spotted red cats tolerate the presence of strangers on their territory only during the breeding season, and even then if the trespassers are females. The courtship period is emotional and stormy, and is very reminiscent of the love fever of domestic cats and cats. At first, the female is not very loyal to her partner, who clings to her with tenderness, but soon she changes her anger to mercy and allows him “to the body.”

After repeated matings, pregnancy occurs, which lasts from 2 to 2.5 months and ends with the birth of 1-3 tiny kittens. At this point, a caring cat prepares a comfortable den. Newborns live up to their name even less than adults: there are almost no red tones in their color.

And only by the age of six months, when kittens become independent, their appearance acquires features typical for this type of cat. Spotted red cats are often kept indoors - they are easy to tame and show friendliness and affection towards their owners.

The smallest representative of the cat genus. Lives only in India and Sri Lanka. The species is endangered with fewer than 10,000 adult members, with a constant decline due to changes in its natural habitat.

The main enemies of the rusty cat are considered to be large predators and stray dogs, capable of tearing apart the animal and its offspring if they do not manage to climb the trees in time. People, embittered peasants or farmers, whose representatives of the breed steal chickens or ducklings, are also capable of exterminating representatives of this population.

Deforestation carries the same danger. Animals are leaving their long-term habitats. Representatives of the red cat family in India and the red spotted cat living in the mountain jungles of Sri Lanka are listed in the International Red Book. Hunting for this type of animal is prohibited; violators are strictly punished by the laws of both countries. There are about 10 thousand of them left in the wild. individuals.

Most connoisseurs of rare animals, of course, do not have the opportunity to meet a rusty cat in the wild. The animal is quite cautious and goes in search of food only under the cover of night. But it can be seen in some zoos around the world and even purchased from special breeders. Due to their small size, cats of this breed cannot be dangerous to people, like lynxes or tigers, for example. Representatives of this breed adapt well at home and delight their owners with an easygoing disposition, cheerfulness and affection. published

A cat with a red color can be found among both purebred and mongrel pets. "Ryzhik" can also be fluffy or short-haired.

British cat

A short-haired cat with a strong, muscular body and thick, silky fur. The most popular color is smoky blue, solid or tabby. Red shorthair cats of the British breed are rare and there are much fewer girls among them than boys.

But among the British, sometimes there are long-haired cats; they look especially interesting in their white and red color. Breeders sought to obtain new shades, and as a result of crossing a British cat with Somali and Persian breeds, luxurious, lush fur was fixed in the genotype.

Siberian cat

Representatives of this breed have long, lush hair (with hypoallergenic properties) and a double undercoat. Siberian fluffy ginger cats with eyes of a rich orange-amber hue are a great rarity; many catteries are separately engaged only in their selection.

Even more unique are Siberian ginger cats with a tabby striped pattern and white accents on the shirtfront and paws. There are no such animals in the group of smooth-haired pets.

Maine Coon (Manx coon cat)

A very large cat, its height is 1 meter in length and its weight exceeds 8 kg. Unlike other breeds, which reach their maximum size by the age of 2, Maine Coons grow until they are 3-5 years old.

Red female cats are no more common among Maine Coons than among their Siberian relatives. They look very impressive thanks to their large ears with predatory tassels and their stern, attentive gaze. There are white and red kittens and striped red tabbies.

Persian cat

A breed that has become a separate cat brand due to its remarkable appearance and ancient pedigree. The coat color of a Persian cat can be any color - there are about 100 shades, with red (red) being no exception.

The colors of red Persians are considered in a wide range - from light to rich red.

Turkish Van (white cat with red spots)

Semi-longhaired cat, strong, graceful, with high muscular legs. The body is covered with white hair (at least 80% of the surface), the entire tail is red (red, chestnut) in shades with the obligatory ring inserts all around and the same spots at the base of the ears.

Turkish Van girls can be carriers of tricolor color variants.

American Curl

Fiery colors are not common among the American Curl, but white cats with red spots are sometimes found. Seals can also be born with colors like the Turkish Van - a white body, a tail painted in shades of red and spots around the ears.

Cymrik breed: fluffy red beauties

In the 60s, felinologists noticed the Cymrik cat breed. They have lush fur, a rounded head, compact body build, developed muscles, and the main difference is that they do not have a tail. Instead of this part of the body there is a small cartilage.

The real wealth is the animal's fur. It is long, and under it there is a thick undercoat. The furry pets of this breed come in different colors: delicate white, majestic black, playful tabby and sunny red. Pets have a balanced character, they can be trained, and are good at learning various tricks. Thanks to its friendly nature, the pet communicates with every member of the family. Domestic cats with red fur are very cute creatures, fluffy and bright.

Siberian cat

The Siberian cat is a descendant of steppe ancestors. Their weight can reach up to 12 kg. They retained their hunting instincts from their predecessors. There have been cases when these red furry creatures brought into the house prey larger than themselves. By nature, Siberian cats are affectionate and friendly. They are often compared to dogs, which are equally fearless and strong in nature. These nurse cats are able to care for a sick owner until he fully recovers. Siberian cats do not feel very comfortable in an apartment; it is best in a private house, where they can show their hunting instincts.

Games with a kitten

The little kitten is very playful by nature. In the first days of his life, he plays with his mother cat and his brothers. This game is training for the upcoming hunt, developing dexterity and reaction speed. This is inherent in a small fluffy ball by nature itself. Therefore, when you get a kitten, you must play with it.

The main type of cat game is hunting, which is accompanied by tracking down a target and attacking with a jump. Knowing this, it is necessary to create just such a play environment in which the baby can at the same time train in his hunting abilities and enjoy spending time with the owner.

The most popular and favorite game of kittens is “butterfly”. To play this game you need to take a thick thread or rope and tie a paper butterfly to its end. When the rope with the butterfly twitches or moves along the floor, the kitten will begin to hunt with great enthusiasm and pounce on the butterfly, trying to claw it with its small claws.

Another exciting game for a kitten is a small ball or marble. For example, you can use a table tennis ball - it is quite bouncy and slippery, which will allow your pet to happily chase it around the house.

In addition, many different toys can be found in specialized pet stores. For cats, it is best to purchase toys made from natural materials and without small protruding parts. So, an interesting and funny toy for a furry purr would be a purchased wind-up mouse made of felt, which the kitten will run after with great excitement.

Be sure to pay attention to your pet, play with it, care for it and watch its development so that it grows healthy, active and happy.

Color and character of ginger cats

This bright color is caused by a gene called Orange, which is most often found in males. And if you believe the statistics, there really are fewer red cats in nature. The reason for this is the genetic characteristics of animals.

As mentioned above, the “sunny” color cannot be solid; most animals are found with a striped pattern or a marbled tint. The dilution of this gene caused the appearance of another color, which is similar to cream or “coffee with milk”.

Ginger cats and cats have their own character traits. These animals are very friendly, intelligent, love small children and do not conflict with other pets. However, there is another opinion: ginger cats can be harmful and arrogant, which is almost impossible to fight.

And some psychologists strongly recommend having such cats for those who suffer from depression or are recovering for a long time after a long illness. Experts explain this by saying that the orange color is an association of sunny summer and can have a beneficial effect on the mental state and the state of the entire body as a whole.

There is one popular belief that says that if a person is sick and there is a cat next to him, he will recover faster. In fact, there are many folk superstitions associated with the healing properties of ginger cats. Sometimes you even begin to wonder if there is some truth in them. But we can say with confidence that having a beautiful ginger cat at home has never bothered anyone.

Perhaps the love for such cats is connected with all these superstitions, or maybe it is simply caused by the beauty of these animals. But we can say with certainty that the ginger kitten is a very popular pet. These fluffy creatures can even be found in popular culture, for example, Garfield the cat or the arrogant red cat from the cartoon “The Return of the Prodigal Parrot.” In addition, “sunny” pets are often used in various advertisements.

Ginger British cat

The birthplace of the British cat is England. The epic of genesis is surrounded by complete mysteries. Today, the variety is very popular; many Russian families have it. The British are strong and large, often weighing 4-6 kg.

Classic colors: lilac and blue, but there are enough options to choose a furry friend of an original color. Today the red sunny color of the British cat is in great demand and is in demand among breeders.

British cats have a balanced character, they are aristocratic, independent and intelligent.
