Cats are different from dogs, and there is not much difference in appearance, so it is difficult to distinguish long hair from short hair when they are young. When cats are about two months old, the difference between long hair and short hair will be very obvious. Common short-haired cats are Siamese, British, American, Abyssinia, exotic, Mengmai, Egyptian, Chartres, China, civet and oriental shorthair.
The most common breeds of long-haired cats are bag cats, Persian cats, Maine cats, Norwegian forest cats, Portman cats and Turkish angola cat. There is also a special hairless cat called Sphinx cats.
When the kitten is still wet after delivery, the long-haired cat's hair may appear slightly wavy and flat, while the short-haired cat's head hair density will be the same as its body length. Once the body is dry, the hair on the back of the neck of a short-haired cat will stand upright, and the hair on the forehead will stand upright when the body is dry.
What should I pay attention to when raising a cat?
1, all family members should consciously close the door after entering and leaving, pay attention to prevent the cat from escaping, and pull up the screen window. If there are regular cleaners, couriers and decoration masters at home, pay attention to the safety of doors and windows and close the doors after going out. When there is no one at home, don't open the glass window outside the screen window too wide.
2. Due to environmental factors, it is strongly recommended that we take cats to public places to walk them and let them go out for free-range. Just move freely at home. Domestic cats are sensitive to noise, environment and strangers, and are prone to stress reactions.
3. Screen windows should be installed at home, and the balcony should be closed with screens.
4, don't feed things with thorns, small bones and hard shells, which are easy to get stuck in the throat.
