What are the Best Hypoallergenic Cat Breeds for People with Allergies? | Petfinder Understand the science behind this popular treat. Most cat What a Good Kitty have offered their cat a sniff or taste of catnip and watched as their feline friends enjoyed it —eating, smelling, rolling around in it, or simply lounging in a What a Good Kitty state What a Good Kitty what exactly is catnip and why do cats seemingly go crazy for it? Catnip is a plant—known scientifically as Nepeta cataria —that is a member of the mint family. The active ingredient is called nepetalactone, which many What a Good Kitty cats respond to in a variety of different ways. Fun fact: It affects big cats like lions and tigers as well. The plant produces this chemical nepetalactone in microscopic bulbs that coat its leaves, stems, and seedpods. When these fragile bulbs rupture, they release the nepetalactone into the air, which is why you can find cats chewing on the plant What a Good Kitty release more nepetalactone. While it's originally native to Europe and Asia, it now grows wild across the country along roads and highways. To identify it, catnip is a grayish- green plant with jagged heart shaped leaves and thick stems that are both covered in fuzzy hairs. Many experts believe that this chemical nepetalactone acts as a feline attractant and triggers the response. Once your cat smells the catnip, they may begin to rub, kick, chew, and roll in it to help release the oil trapped in the plant's leaves. When it enters a cat's nose, it binds to receptors on the sensory neurons lining the nasal cavity, which, in turn, activate different areas of the brain that control emotion and behavior. The effects of catnip are short-lived and usually last 10 to 15 minutes. The dose of catnip and how your What a Good Kitty consumes it will result in different responses: The more your cat eats or inhales it, the stronger the effect. Cats commonly react to catnip What a Good Kitty sniffing, licking, eating, rolling, and rubbing their cheeks on it. Some other responses include stretching, drooling, jumping, and hyperactivity while others may become mellow. Even though your cat may display these behaviorsthe response occurs through the olfactory system. Once your cat has had enough, they will walk away from it. A cat may not respond again to catnip for at least a couple of hours. It's worth noting that not all cats are affected by catnip —this response is inherited. Catnip is commonly used to encourage cats to explore and playbut it can also be used as a training aid. Place What a Good Kitty small amount of catnip on your cat's scratching post to encourage scratching, or in their carrier to encourage them to enter, thereby creating a positive association. Catnip can be used in veterinary clinics, shelters, and foster homes in addition to a cat's own home to help lower stress levels. Catnip is non-toxic to cats. Although rare, overindulgence can cause vomiting or diarrhea, so you may want to limit your cat's exposure if she's overly interested. Keep your cat happy and interested in their toys by rotating them: offer some toys as available and hide the rest in a ziplock bag or jar and marinate them in catnip. This keeps the toys novel and fun. You can purchase catnip toys and dried catnip in most pet stores or online, such as SmartyKat Organic Catnip What a Good Kitty dried catnip does not contain as much nepetalactone oil as fresh catnip, so it tends to smell stronger and is still enticing to cats. An even better suggestion: grow your own catnip. It's easy to grow and can be found in most nurseries in the herb section. They are best planted in early spring and prefer sandy soil and full sun. For storing catnip, you can freeze in an airtight container to keep it fresh. By Tabitha Kucera October 17, Each product we feature has been independently selected and reviewed by our editorial team.

Soft Kitty - Wikipedia Allergies taking a toll on you? Ever wondered what causes the allergies you suffer from? Once a cat licks their coat, the allergen-laden saliva dries and becomes airborne, increasing likelihood for a response. Some breeds produce less of this protein than others, making them ideal cats for people with allergies. There are a variety of cats that produce fewer allergens and can make pet parenting a bit easier. The best way to determine if you are sensitive to a cat is to meet him or her. We recommend contacting an animal shelter or rescue group and arranging to meet the pet before making a What a Good Kitty. But it is one of the few breeds that produce less of the Fel D1 protein than other cats, thus causing fewer allergic reactions in allergy sufferers. Balinese cats are smart, sweet, and fun to be around. Like the Siamese, they are known for their ability to communicate vocally. The personality of the Oriental is as distinctive as their coat. They are natural entertainers, full of enthusiasm, and love being the center of attention. Conceited one minute— animated and inquisitive the next. They are highly curious and will go What a Good Kitty great lengths to be involved in your activities. Because of the lack of undercoat, they have less fur, which translates into fewer allergens. Javanese cats are devoted, intelligent and known for their communication skills. They have a fascination with food and tend to burn off extra calories in playful antics. Of the two Rex cats, the Devon has both shorter fur and less fur. And since the Devon sheds less than other breeds, you can snuggle back without fear of covering yourself in cat hair. The Cornish Rex requires more upkeep than the Devon because they require frequent baths to mitigate the oil buildup on their skin. Cornish Rexes are active, inquisitive, gazelle-like felines that have a playful temperament. Rexes are determinedly outgoing and loving towards their favorite humans. With their warm suede feel, they make the perfect winter lap warmer, too. Both the Devon and Cornish Rex can be the best cats for allergies, choose one that matches your personality. What a Good Kitty hairless Sphynx is the What a Good Kitty most often associated with being a hypoallergenic cat breed. Your Sphynx will need frequent baths to remove the gummy buildup of oils on her skin, and their large ears will also require frequent cleanings. According to the French breed standard, What a Good Kitty Sphynx personality traits are often compared to dogs children based on its animated nature. Very devoted and loyal, they follow their humans around, wagging their tails doggy fashion and purring with affection. Like the Balinese, the Siberian sports a moderately long coat, but still is hypoallergenic due to the lower-than-average enzyme levels in their saliva. Some claim that 75 percent of cat allergy sufferers have no reaction to the Siberian. Siberians are affectionate cats with a good dose of personality and playfulness. Siberians are intelligent, with the ability to problem-solve to get what they want. Despite their size, they are very agile and are great jumpers, able to leap tall bookcases in a single bound. Once you have a cat, there are steps you can take to minimize allergens whether you have a hypoallergenic breed or not:.

  • Sphynx Breed Presentation
    SPHYNXPRESENTED BY SHAUNTAY BREEDBURRIS AND CREATED PRESENTATION BY THE SPHYNX BREED COMMITTEE 2019 SPHYNX BREED INTRODUCTION While the appearance of hairlessness is the first remarkable impression of the Sphynx, among enthusiasts of the breed it is most recognized for it’s overtly affectionate disposition. The breed is often described as being part monkey, part dog and part baby. This illustrates a beautiful picture of what one can expect when sharing their life with a Sphynx. This is a very needy and dependent cat, which requires enormous amounts of interaction and affection. Ask any Sphynx breeder or owner about their devotion to the breed and you will find a commitment, love and enthusiasm towards them like no other. The Sphynx is not truly hairless. The skin should have the texture of chamois. It may be covered with very fine down which is almost imperceptible to both the eye and the touch. On the ears, muzzle, tail, feet and scrotum, short, soft, fine hair is allowed. Lack of coat makes the cat quite warm to the touch. Whiskers and eyebrows may be present, broken, or may be totally absent. The cat should not be small or dainty. Males may be up to 25 percent larger so long as proper proportions are maintained. The Sphynx is sweet-tempered, lively, intelligent and above all amenable to handling.

  • TICA Cornish Rex Breed Introduction
    TICA Cornish Rex Breed Introduction www.tica.org General Description: The energetic and elegant Cornish Rex bounces through life and into your heart with undaunted enthusiasm. They are a natural breed originating from a mutation first recognized in England. Often referred to as the Greyhound of the cat world because of their long-legged body complete with tuck- up, the Cornish Rex is easily recognizable by its wavy marceled coat. These curls go from their eyebrows to their whiskers and all over their body. There is NO hypo- allergenic cat, but the Cornish is considered a good choice for people with allergies as they do not seem to aggravate them as much as other cats. Their large, tall ears and soft, big oval eyes blend into their egg-shaped head giving them a wonderfully expressive appearance. Smart, social cats, they know their place...right in the middle of everything! History: The story of the Cornish Rex begins in Bodmin Moor, Cornwall. On July 21, 1950 a tortoiseshell cat named Serena, owned by Mrs. Nina Ennismore gave birth to a litter of five kittens. One red & white coloured kitten in this litter had an unusual curly coat. The kitten was named Kallibunker (Kalli) and was to become the founder of the Cornish Rex breed. Nina's veterinarian suggested she contact geneticist A C Jude. He advised she mate Kallibunker back to his mother. This breeding produced three kittens. One was a straight coated female the other two curly coated males. Sadly, one male died at 7 months of age, the second male named Poldhu (along with Kallibunker) went on to sire further litters.

  • Selkirk Rex Cat Breeding Policy
    Selkirk Rex Cat Breeding Policy Guidelines for Healthy & Responsible Breeding 2 Forward This breeding policy has been written to accompany and supplement the Selkirk Rex Registration Policy and should be read in conjunction with that document. If there are any queries regarding either document, these should be referred to the Breed Advisory Committee delegates of the affiliated Selkirk Rex Cat Club. The aim of this breeding policy is to give advice and guidance to breeders of Selkirk Rex Cats, to ensure best practice prevails. The over-riding objective is to conserve and improve the SelkirkRex cat, working to meet all aspects of the Standard of Points, which describes the ideal for the breed. Breeders should learn how to gain the best out of their breeding plans by adding value into the Selkirk Rex and how to make decisions that can only better its on-going development. A balance should be sourced to balance the need for selective outcrossing to increase the gene pool and improve stamina and health with the need to breed Selkirk Rex with sufficient preceding generations of Selkirk to Selkirkmatings to produce consistent type. Co-operation between breeders, with the GCCF and internationally, will ensure that diverse breeding lines are maintained within the breed and the breeders have sufficient options to maintain low inbreeding coefficients.

The hair coat of the Lykoi cat, a new cat breed, is a dramatic phenotype and has not been clinically or histologically described. Dermatoscopic examination was performed and skin biopsies were collected from seven Lykoi cats and seven dermatologically normal domestic shorthair (DSH) cats. All skin structures were examined on longitudinal and transverse sections. Immunohistochemistry for CD3 and Cytokeratin 8/18 was performed for comparison with DSH cats. Dermatoscopic images were compared. Lykoi had a significant reduction in average numbers of follicles per hair follicle group as compared to DSH cats, 14.7 ± 2.9 and 23.4 ± 5.4, respectively. Median (range) numbers of hairs per hair follicle group were 1.3 (0.4–5.7) and 18.8 (10.6–26.6), respectively. Mean (± SD) hair follicle depth was 0.95 mm ± 0.15 and 1.14 mm ± 0.21 for Lykoi and DSH cats, respectively. Mean (± SD) primary hair shaft diameters were 39 µm ± 0.029 and 47 µm ± 0.011 for Lykoi and DSH cats, respectively.
