Choosing a cat
Cats are very
cute and they are pretty much independent and therefore don’t have
to be taken for walks, they self-clean and self exercise as well.
They can also live with other domestic pets but of course, this
really depends on their character. If you choose a cat that happens
to be anti social by nature, a little effort on your part is
required to make the cat feels at ease with other domestic
pets. It can be difficult but definitely possible.
Now the choice
of cat depends on one’s preference of course, and to help you
make an decide, I've prepared 3 simple but important questions that
you need to ask yourself, before choosing a cat:
-
Short fur or long fur?
-
Is there a particular colour
or pattern that you
like?
-
What about gender and age?
Ok , let’s go
through the questions to have a clearer picture on what type of cat
is suitable for you.
1.
Short fur or long fur?
Short fur is
generally easier to maintain compared to long fur but some folks
prefer choosing a cat with long fur because they look pretty, coat
wise or to participate in cat show competitions. However,
if you happen to fancy a cat because it has a cute face ( like
me ) then this is not an issue. So pick long fur if:
-
You can allocate some time every single
day grooming the cat. Since it has long fur, it is more susceptible
to matting and
tangles.
-
Your home is air-conditioned and you are living in a
humid climate ( like me ). Otherwise the heat can make a
long hair cat uncomfortable and it will start meowing non-stop,
driving you nuts. When they do that you know, that it is
actually saying “ Please buy an air-cond
master.”
Oh yeah, i would like to remind you that in
case, you wish to choose a cat that is a little on the
hairless side, such as the sphynx, please make sure
that you keep the cat in a well heated environment during
cold winters. The sphynx has no coat so its virtually impossible
for the cat to keep itself warm especially in cold
weather.
