Some cat lovers claim that there are no purebred cats : each carries the features of high blood,
only not everyone can recognize it. Owners of prize-winning cats strongly disagree with them. They are sure that not everyone succeeds in raising, raising and raising a truly thoroughbred animal. We will not judge which of them is right. It is worth noting that the concept of "cat breed" arose only two hundred years ago, and lovers derive new species to this day.
Cats of large breed. Who are they?
The breed is one of the categories of classification of animals. Cat breeds are studied by international organizations, they also describe the characteristics, hold exhibitions and determine the winners. Large cats are one of the most unusual and attractive, from my point of view, representatives of this class. The most gentle and good-natured representative of these four-legged is Maine Coon.
Literally, the name sounds like "mens raccoon." Cats bred in Maine, indeed, with their thick long tail and powerful addition resemble a raccoon. However, despite their size, these cats of large breed are distinguished by devotion and good nature. They have the most water repellent coat
different colors, big beautiful eyes. Males grow up to 10 kilograms, although there is evidence that some representatives of the breed weighed 17 kg.
Rag dolls are not toys
Another large breed of cat is known as “rag dolls”, although their exact name is ragdoll. They got a nickname because of their unique ability to completely relax and “drain” to the floor from the owner’s hands. It is for this that the wonderful blue eyes value this breed so much. However, relaxation is an asphyxia that occurs in animals at any touch. Cats don’t like being rag, but they can’t do anything about it: they brought them out like that. Only a muffled howl sometimes
gives the true attitude of the animal to the fact that he is being held in his hands. These are the most patient animals of all cats. They can reach 10 kg.
Pixibob and other giants
Pixibob is very reminiscent of our street cats. These cats of large breed are distinguished by a noticeable striped color, they are very playful, mobile and cheerful. Unique cats of large breed - savannah. They are one of the few cats, very loving two things: swim and walk on a leash. A mixture of wild and domestic animals, they have a very light coat with dark spots, yellow-green eyes and a freedom-loving character.
Turkish baths are also very bright, most often white. However, their tails and ears are much darker. They are also very fond of water, have a waterproof, water-repellent coat. Turkish bath is famous for its mind. Ocicots are no less smart. These are short-haired animals with a compliant and kind character. They are easily accustomed to execute commands, so they are very appreciated by cat lovers and children. There are a lot of large thoroughbred cats. However, sometimes ordinary animals can grow to almost gigantic sizes. There are cases when cats of the British breed,
Norwegian forest cats grew up to 18 kilograms. Some Devon Rexes, Javanese, Bobtail can also exceed the sizes defined for them by international organizations.
