There are several concerns on the possible negative effects on PPG including anaesthesia, surgery and complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of PPG. Microsoft excel was used for statistical analysis. The information about 6646 purebred kittens who had gone through PPG before 27 weeks of age was obtained from the online retrospective survey.

  • TICA Sphynx Breed Introduction
    TICA Sphynx Breed Introduction www.tica.org General Description: The intriguing Sphynx cat never fails to draw a reaction from people - some people love the bald, wrinkled look, some are fascinated by the cat, while others are less than enthusiastic. But for those that take the time to get to know the cat, a great treat is in store. They have very soft skin that feels like the softest chamois leather and are so very warm to the touch that you just want to cuddle up with them-especially in cold weather. Their toes are like fingers and they use them that way as they investigate and play with everything that takes their curiosity. They wrinkled faces remind you of the wisdom we all gather with age while their big ears and lemon-shaped eyes give them a unique look. Their rounded Buddha-like bodies bring a smile to the face. The Sphynx is definitely an enigmatic breed for the connoisseur. History: First attempts at breeding Sphynx began in 1966, when a black and white cat gave birth to a hairless kitten in Ontario, Canada. The owner named the hairless kitten Prune, due to the wrinkled hairless skin. Prune was bred to other cats in an attempt to create more hairless kittens. Because hairlessness is a recessive gene, some of the kittens resulting from this union had hair, while others did not. These kittens were called Canadian Hairless Cats, which some people referred to as Sphynx cats, due to their physical similarities with an ancient Egyptian cat sculpture called the Sphinx.

I have worked with several breeds over the years. When I first started in the cat fancy in 1987 I worked with the entire Persian breed group. the Himalayan, Persian, and the Exotic Shorthair until I received my first sphynx alter in 1998. I showed him for 2 years and decided I wanted to work with the sphynx breed. I started actively working with my breeding program in April of 2000. I enjoy the sphynx breed by far . I find them to be not like any other breed of cat. Their personality will win you over by far. Over the years I have shared my home with several other breeds of cats, Tonk's, Bombay, Burmese, Siamese, American Bobtail, Manx, Dsh, Birman, Mainecoon, American Shorthair and a Bengal. How long..??.. I started in 1987 to present 2. If you could, what other breed of cat would you like to work with..??.. I find the Japanese Bobtail to be very interesting but have cut back on my breeding program at the moment and working with a very limited number of kitties. 3. What is your most memorable win..??.. My most memorable win was my IW win with IW, SGC Wizardgate's Daddy's Girl. She got an IW as a kitten, RW as an Adult in the same year and then received an IW as an adult the following year. and she truly is Daddy's Girl.

  • Preventing Fading Kitten Syndrome in Hairless Peterbald Cats
    Preventing Fading Kitten Syndrome in Hairless Peterbald Cats Mark Kantrowitz 1 Abstract Newborn hairless Peterbald kittens have a very high mortality rate, rarely surviving to one month of age. Since the early days of the breed, breeders have not attempted to breed born-hairless sires and dams together because all of the kittens will be hairless, with few surviving to adulthood. Even in litters from heterozygous parents, it is unusual for more than one hairless kitten to survive. Several potential causes of fading kitten syndrome in Peterbald cats are identified. A new 7-step protocol has been developed to address all of the potential causes of fading kitten syndrome. This protocol has been used successfully to breed a hairless sire, CelestialBlue Eureka, with a hairless dam, CelestialBlue Mimsy. All four hairless kittens in this litter have survived to four months of age, and there is every expectation that they will reach adulthood and live normal lifespans. This is the first time a litter of born-hairless Peterbald kittens has achieved a 0% mortality rate since the origin of the Peterbald breed. Litter of four hairless Peterbald kittens at one month of age 1 CelestialBlue Peterbald Cattery, Peterbald.com Introduction The Peterbald is a rare breed of hairless housecat that originated in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1994. It is the result of a cross of the hairless Donskoy (Don Sphynx) with Oriental Shorthair cats. Siamese cats were subsequently allowed as outcrosses. The result is an intelligent and affectionate hairless cat with a long, elegant, tubular body, large, low-set ears and a triangular head with a blunt tip.
