  • HIMALAYAN HIGHLIGHTS Ben and Ann Borrett (Of Chestermere)
    Chestermere Cajun of Sa-Bon 0: Sam & Bonnie Myers Gr. Ch. Dunbrody's Sneak Preview B-0: Dick Rhodes 452 C.F.A. HIMALAYAN HIGHLIGHTS Ben and Ann Borrett (of Chestermere) Ann Ben Perhaps first of all we should clarify the fact that a Longhair is not classified by type. A Longhair does not necessarily mean a Per- sian. Therefore those who make statements about the "Longhairs-or- Persians" in one breath, as if they were one and the same, are not accurate ; Longhairs are just that, cats with Long hair. Possibly the most numerous of the Longhair Breeds is our lovely Persian, in all its many beautiful colors. There is the Himalayan Breed of Longhair, and we hear talk of the revival of the earlier Angora Breed of Longhair (CFA. YB 1970). Then we have the Sacred Cat of Burma or Birman, a breed of Longhair, and the Balinese is yet another. The Maine Coon Cat is a Longhair Breed, as is the Turkish Cat, and there was the Longhair Russian Blue of yesteryear (CFA YB. 1967). It is not unreasonable to suppose that many of our present shorthair breeds and colors of cat, may, if the interest occurs, be bred to produce long fur. Indeed, already the Longhaired Manx and the Longhaired Abyssinians are not uncommon, and it could be only a matter of time before many more different types of Longhair cats are produced in sufficient numbers to warrant recognition for competi- tion in Championship Shows. No amount of contradicting can alter the above facts — there is no such thing as the "Longhair Type," for each is different in some way.

  • Congenital and Hereditary Diseases to Be Diagnosed in the Kitten
    Congenital and hereditary diseases to be diagnosed in the kitten Dr. Andrea Muennich Dipl. ECAR Referral centre for reproduction D-16321 Bernau Friedenstr. 60 GERMANY [email protected] Congenital diseases are those, visible or non visible, but present at birth. They could be from genetic origin or they can represent a teratogenic cause, in some cases also phenocopies. Phenocopies show the clinical appearance known also for classical genetic defects, but they were acquired during embryogenesis by teratogenic factors. If there is no genetic test available for the specific breed or disease, the causes will be often unspecified. Anomalies of microanatomic or biochemical type usually go unreported and are included under stillbirths, faders, or undetermined causes, if kittens die early. Some anomalies in the brain, heart, or respiratory system can cause immediate threat to life, resulting in death at birth or within the first days, weeks or months, whereas other malformations remain unnoticed for a different period, depending on the localisation. In most cases, pathologic and histological examination is the only possibility to diagnose non visible malformations. The occurrence of a pathognomonic symptom– a typical sign on which a diagnosis or a suspicion can be made - helps in some cases to be able to recognise the problem. In other cases, X-ray, sonography , endoscopy, or blood tests can help to diagnose the defect and to make a prognosis. Some of internal defects ones can find accidentally (e.g.during surgery or necropsy). Live born kittens should be euthanised if they show an untreatable condition. 1 defects and malformations visible at birth (selection) Palatoschisis (cleft palate, cleft lip) All degrees of cleft palate are conditions that should be easily to diagnose after birth by inspection of the oral cavity.

They are more commonly called orange, ginger, marmalade, yellow, butter, caramel, or butterscotch. Red cats are not their own breed and you can find them in many cat breeds as well as moggies cats with no pedigree. They may Blue Cat shorthair or longhair cats. If you are looking for a Blue Cat ginger cat, you will have a wide variety of breeds and coats to choose from. You may want a red cat that has tiger Red Cat or one with Blue Cat or patches. Many people believe that red cats have warm personalities that match their coat color, thinking they tend to be mellow, loving cats. However, cats are individuals Blue Cat you may find yours Blue Cat be a bossy alpha cat or one with a fiery, hot temper. Cat personalities are not as typically linked to breeds as are those of dogs. They haven't been bred for skills and temperaments as dogs have. But if you are looking for a Red Cat personality, start with researching what is usual for different cat breeds. The reason a cat is red lies in the genes and chromosomes the cat has inherited. The red color gene O codes for the production of the red pigment phaeomelanin. It is dominant, so it masks all of the other colors such as black and variants of black.

    Everything you need to know about Genetics… You can learn from your Cat! BY DR. LESLIE LYONS Ph.D PART FOUR THE SIAMESE PHENOTYPIC VARIATION = GENETICS + ENVIRONMENT A basic concept of genetics is - the interaction between genes and the College environment (GxE) produces the variation seen in the phenotype of an of individual. Although someone may have “good genes”, we do have to Veterinary remember “you are what you eat”. Siamese, Burmese and Tonkinese Medicine, cats are a perfect example of the interaction between a gene and its University environment. of The Color locus (C) in mammals encodes for the gene called tyrosinase Missouri (TYR).1 Cats have TYR DNA variants causing the temperature‐sensitive colorations of the sable Burmese (cbcb) and the “points” of the Siamese (cscs)2,3 (OMIA 000202‐9685) and recently, the mocha colored Burmese (cmcm).4 These breeds originated in Thailand and are known as the Suphalak (Burmese), Wichien‐maat (Siamese) and Wila Krung Thep is suggested for the name of the Si Mai Thong (mocha) colored cats.5 Two complete albino variants (c, c2) are also known in TYR for cats (OMIA 000202‐ 9685).6,7 For the well‐known Siamese ‘pointed’ phenotype is cscs; the fur is pigmented only at the extremities (tail, paws and a 'mask' on the face), the torso coloration is very light to white, and the lack of pigmentation produces blue eye color.8-11 Burmese is an allelic variant (cb) that is less temperature-sensitive, producing more pigment throughout the torso.12 The sable Burmese (cbcb) also has “points”, which are less noticeable because of the overall greater color production on the body.
