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. Database included cats from the different breeds and –age groups when the surgery was performed, collected in 2019.

  • Tyrosinase Mutations Associated with Siamese and Burmese Patterns in the Domestic Cat (Felis Catus)
    doi:10.1111/j.1365-2052.2005.01253.x Tyrosinase mutations associated with Siamese and Burmese patterns in the domestic cat (Felis catus) L. A. Lyons, D. L. Imes, H. C. Rah and R. A. Grahn Department of Population Health and Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, Davis, CA, USA Summary The Siamese cat has a highly recognized coat colour phenotype that expresses pigment at the extremities of the body, such as the ears, tail and paws. This temperature-sensitive colouration causes a ÔmaskÕ on the face and the phenotype is commonly referred to as ÔpointedÕ. Burmese is an allelic variant that is less temperature-sensitive, producing more pigment throughout the torso than Siamese. Tyrosinase (TYR) mutations have been sus- pected to cause these phenotypes because mutations in TYR are associated with similar phenotypes in other species. Linkage and synteny mapping in the cat has indirectly sup- ported TYR as the causative gene for these feline phenotypes. TYR mutations associated with Siamese and Burmese phenotypes are described herein. Over 200 cats were analysed, representing 12 breeds as well as randomly bred cats. The SNP associated with the Siamese phenotype is an exon 2 G > A transition changing glycine to arginine (G302R). The SNP associated with the Burmese phenotype is an exon 1 G > T transversion changing glycine to tryptophan (G227W). The G302R mutation segregated concordantly within a pedigree of Himalayan (pointed) Persians. All cats that had ÔpointedÕ or the Burmese coat colour phenotype were homozygous for the corresponding mutations, respectively, suggesting that these phenotypes are a result of the identified mutations or unidentified mutations that are in linkage disequilibrium.

  • Breeding Policy
    ORIENTAL BREEDING POLICY This breeding policy accompanies and supplements the Oriental Registration Policy and should be read in conjunction with that document. The aim of this breeding policy is to give advice and guidance to ensure breeders observe what is considered “best practice” in breeding Orientals with the over-riding objective of improving the Oriental cat to meet all aspects of the Oriental Standard of Points, which describes the ideal for the recognised varieties in the Oriental Group. The origins of the Oriental Until the late 1960’s very few Orientals were seen at shows other than the Havanas (which had their own classes), and the Lilacs and Whites which were exhibited as ‘Any Other Variety (AOV)’. By the end of the decade the Havanas and the Tabby Pointed Siamese (only recognised as a variety of Siamese in 1966), were among the best Siamese types in the country. With the help of prudent outcrossing between Havanas and Tabby Point Siamese, and by backcrossing to both parental varieties, further improvement was made in the Havanas and the emergence of the Oriental Tabby as a beautiful variety in its own right was assured. Hot on the heels of the Oriental Tabbies came the Blues, Blacks, Tortoiseshells (Torties), Silver Tabbies, Smokes and Shaded Silvers. The Oriental is now well established in the UK and over 50 years of breeding has developed and fixed good phenotype in the breed but with a decreasing gene-pool. The Oriental breed has one of the largest numbers of gene variations of any breed of pedigree cat recognised by GCCF.

  • 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.
