		The tailless cats of the Isle of Man are said to differ from common cats not only in the want of a tail, but in the greater length of their hind legs, in the size of their heads, and in habits.
		As cats are so much petted, a breed bearing the same relation to other cats, that lapdogs bear to larger dogs, would have been much valued; and if selection could have been applied, we should certainly have had many breeds in each long-civilised country, for there is plenty of variability to work upon.

		Cats have figured in the history of all nations, are the subject of much superstition and legend, and are a favorite subject of artists and writers.

		The first modern-day cat show, the original standards for judging cats in competition, the first national cat club and the earliest comprehensive book on exhibiting cats were all produced in England between the particularly fertile years from 1871 and 1889.
		By the turn of the century shorthair domestic cats in Britain had declined in status from something of the cat's meow to something that the cat fancy had dragged in and then abandoned.
		Despite the importation of a number of shorthair cats in the early part of this century, American cat fanciers had trouble enough gaining the proper respect for the domestic shorthair without bothering to try to establish an imported shorthair in the bargain.

	British Blue Cats, Kittens and Cat Breeders
		The British Blue is the original of the British Shorthair; until the 1950s the Blue was the only colour of Shorthair at which time outcrosses were made to extend the colour range.
		Looking at a British Blue what is really striking is how round he is; his body is a series of rounded shapes, from his paws to the tip of his tail and all is covered in a deep plush coat which ensures every part of him flows into the next.
		The British Blue is a very adaptable cat who will calmly accept children, dogs and other cats with a tolerant gaze; a breed who is undemanding but displays an understated affection and loyalty to his household.

	Persian Cat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Longhaired cats, including the ancestors of the modern Persian and Angora breeds, were first seen in Europe in the mid- to late 1500s, introduced by Roman and Phoenician caravans from Persia (now Iran) and Turkey, according to documents of the era.
		By the time of Weir’s cat show in 1871, distinct differences between the Persian and the Angora could be seen, the former being stockier with small, rounded ears, and the latter being slender and tall-eared.
		In the early 1900s the British Governing Council of the Cat Fancy decided that the Persian, as well as the Angora and Russian Longhairs, should be known simply as Longhairs, a policy that continues today.

		In its homeland, the favoured cat is the all-white Van Kedi with one blue and one yellow eye; these are considered to be very good luck and among the few domestic animals kept as pets.
		This was due to the fact that the cats brought to Britain in 1955 and almost all of the Vans descended from them were not white, but head-and-tail marked.
		Van cats with head and tail markings appear to have little or no incidence of deafness, but it is an inherited trait that crops up with greater frequency in the cat that is completely white.

	Turkish Van, Angora, Vankedisi (Van Kedi) Cats - FAQ
		The Turkish Angora was probably also related at some point in its ancestry, although from a breeding point of view there is no permissible out-crossing between the Turkish Angoras and the Turkish Van/Vankedisi.
		Many cats have some degree of white on them, but in the case of the Turkish Van this has been taken to the extreme such that the white covers nearly all of their body.
		The highest risk is for the blue-eyed white cats, since the blue eye colour is caused by a lack of pigment in the eye in the same way as for white hair, and this acts as a measure of how much the pigment has been inhibited by the white gene.
