Book excerpt: This cat first appeared as a mutant hairless kitten born in a litter of short-haired cats in 1966 in Ontario, Canada. As he grew older, this original kitten developed a short, downy coat with thin, short hair present on the ears, muzzle, tail, feet, and testicles. A breeding program was developed, and the CFA granted provisional status to the Canadian hairless, but this recognition was withdrawn due to the breeds health problems. Three additional hairless cats were found in Ontario, and two female cats were sent to Dr. Hugo Hernandez in Holland and crossed with Devon rex cats. In 1975, Milt and Ethelyn Pearson of Minnesota discovered a hairless kitten born to a brown tabby shorthair. When these cats were bred to normal short-haired cats, they produced normal kittens. But when inbred, they produced hairless cats, indicating that the hairless gene is recessive. Hairless cats from the Pearsons were bred to rex cats and were the foundation of the Sphynx breed. The CFA recognized these new versions of the Sphynx in 1998 and granted them championship status in 2002. The breed has become very popular, ranking eight out of forty-three breeds in 2014 CFA registrations. Sphynx may be outcrossed with American shorthairs and domestic shorthairs/domestic Sphynx outcrosses, but all Sphynx born after 2010 must have Sphynx parents. It is also possible to get partially hairless kittens in some lines of the Devon rex and Cornish rex breeding programs, but these cats are not considered Sphynx. Hairlessness is caused by a recessive gene. All normal hair coats are dominant to this gene. The Devon rex gene, however, is recessive to the hairlessness gene of the Sphynx. The mutation for both hairlessness in the Sphynx and the Devon rex coat are located on the Keratin 71 (KRT7!) gene. Due to scarcity of purebred Sphynxes, Devon-Sphynx crosses are necessary to perpetuate the Sphynx breed. A Sphynx with both Sphynx hairlessness genes when crossed with a Devon rex will produce all Sphynx kittens. The offspring will all carry one gene for Devon rextype haircoat. So some are heterozygous Sphynx (have one Sphynx gene and one Devon gene). Although Devon rexes can be born to heterozygous Sphynx parents, it is important to realize they do not have the Sphynx gene for hairlessness and are genetically Devon rex. The UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Lab offers a DNA test to determine if the Sphynx tested carries the gene for the Devon rex coat.

Developed from the Asian Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis, formerly Felis benghalensis) and the domestic Felis catus, this breed can be as much as 1/8 Asian Leopard Cat. The Asian Leopard Cat (ALC) is found in India, eastward into China and down through the Malaysian Peninsula. ALCs were bred to Egyptian and Indian Maus, Burmese and Domestic shorthairs. As the breedings progressed, the offspring were bred back to the ALC. The first three generations of these cross breedings are considered Foundation Bengals. The fourth generation (those with an ALC as a great-great grandparent) is considered SBT (stud book tradition) and is eligible for competition in cat shows. 6 All male Foundation Bengals are sterile. The female hybrids are bred back to male domestic cats. Mrs. Jean Mill of Covina, California, first started breeding these cats in the early 1960s, but abandoned her first effort. She started again in the late 1970s with eight females, all first generation hybrids. Dr. Willard Centerwall, a pediatrician and geneticist at University of California at Davis, provided her with these eight females. With these cats and two domestic shorthaired males (one from Delhi, India), Mrs. Mill established the breed. It closely resembles the Asian Leopard Cat and has championship status in TICA and the ACFA as well as other international registries. TICA registration rules insist that all Bengals in the show ring be the products of at least three generations of Bengal to Bengal breedings.

This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Birmans origin is very unique and mysterious. It is said that the breed came about as the result of a miracle in Burma where the animal was considered sacred. The legend is that at the temple of Lao-Tsun, where a statue of the golden goddess Tsun-Kyan-Kse was kept along with one hundred white cats, an old priest, Mun-Ha, was killed by attackers. At the moment of his death, Mun-Has companion cat, Sinh, a white cat with amber eyes, immediately jumped on the priest and faced the goddess. As the cat did this, it is said that the priests soul entered the cat because the cats hair turned golden and its eyes became the same color blue as the goddess. The legs, face, and tail turned brown as the earth, except for the feet, which, resting on the priest, remained white. In seven days, Sinh died carrying the soul of Mun-Ha to paradise. The next day, all the other cats made the same transformation, which led the priests to regard them as sacred. How this breed came to be around in the world is just as puzzling. It is believed that in 1919, two Birmans were shipped from Burma to France. Although only the pregnant female survived, this was enough to establish this breed across the world. The name comes from the French word for Burma, Birmanie. In 2014, the Birman was the fifteenth most popular long-haired cat according to CFA registration statistics.

This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although this native cat has been around for centuries, probably aboard with the pilgrims on the Mayflower, it was not recognized until the early 1900s. This cat could be found on farms, near barns, or in the house performing its duties as a pest controller. Due to the harsh living conditions this working cat was exposed to, it developed into a powerful, tough breed. In 1900 or 1901, the first short-haired cat was registered. However, it was actually a red tabby British shorthair called Belie. Finally, in 1904, a male smoke named Buster Brown was registered and recognized as the first member of American heritage. Through good breeding programs, the American shorthair gradually became established and separated from its European cousins. Progress was visible by the 1930s and 1940s, and by 1950, the CFA printed a stud book listing fifty domestic shorthairs. Prior to 1966, this breed was known as the Domestic shorthair, a title that is still commonly used. The American shorthair is the sixth most popular breed registered by the CFA based on 2014 registrations. Nonpedigree American shorthairs referred to as Domestics were considered foundation stock and were accepted by the CFA until January of 1985. Since many alley cats may look like purebred American shorthairs, breeders are continually having to display the differences between their purebred animals and those of a combination of various matings. The actual proof of a purebred American shorthair is that it will produce a uniform litter of kittens which are all the same type.
