	Breed Article: Exotic
		As the breed became more popular, more and more Persian breeders were willing to allow their lines to be used in Exotic breeding programs and even began breeding Exotics themselves.
		A homozygous Exotic can only result from a breeding of shorthair to shorthair and, in most cases, grandparents need to be shorthairs also.
		Breeding Exotics can become very frustrating and sometimes discouraging because of the number of longhair kittens produced.

	Frequently Asked Questions of Fairy Dust Siamese
		I do not generally sell kittens or cats for breeding unless the buyer is already involved with breeding/showing in CFA or another association.
		It does not cost very much to register a litter of kittens, and if a breeder is selling cats without papers, it usually means that they don't have papers (or breeding rights) on the parents, and therefore shouldn't be breeding the cats in the first place.
		A 'Retired Adult' is an adult cat that was part of our breeding program and has now been spayed or neutered, and 'retired' from our breeding program.

	Feral Cat Coalition
		A pair of breeding cats, which can have two or more litters per year, can exponentially produce 420,000 offspring over a seven-year period, And the overpopulation problem carries a hefty price tag.
		Is more effective and less costly than repeated attempts at extermination --- costs for repeatedly trapping and killing feral colonies are far higher than promoting stable, non-breeding colonies in the same location.
		Vacated areas are soon filled by other cats who start the breeding process over again

	FUTURE CAT BREEDS?
		Cat fanciers continue to hope that these will turn up during the 22nd Century although the huge reduction of free-breeding cats around the world (the virtual extinction of stray and feral cats in Australia due to sterility viruses) means that fewer random mutations are being seen.
		This is a history of cat breeding developments in the 21st and 22nd Centuries and is based on extrapolation from genetics knowledge and breeding trends during the late twentieth/very early twenty-first centuries.
		The first "dwarf breed" was the short-legged Munchkin and crossbreeding produced a number of derivative short-legged breeds some of which were short-lived (the Kinkalow - a curl-eared Munchkin) and some of which remain with us into the 22nd.

	Bengal Cat Page
		The Bengal Cat is relatively new breed of domestic cat that is the result of controlled breeding of the Asian Leopard Cat to the domestic cat.
		The goal of the breeding for four plus generations is to obtain a loving, calm domestic cat that has the physical characteristics of the small forest-dwelling wild cats.
		This is achieved by selective breeding for the spots, rosettes and marbling as well as the good natured temperament that makes the Bengal very people-oriented.

		The black-footed cat population in North America is in poor condition, largely due to inconsistent breeding and early deaths from renal failure.
		The exception to the breeding moratorium was cats that were older than 5 years of age with low mean kinship values (i.e., lower than average for the population and preferably at 0.10 or lower).
		The Pallas’ Cat Master Plan and breeding recommendations are being formulated with the assistance of Alan Shoemaker at the Riverbanks Zoo.

	Colourpointed British Shorthair Cat Club
		'British' Self cats from Colourpointed cats can have poor eye colour and unsound coat colour and are inferior to those bred on the continent, where Self to Self breeding is the norm.
		It is also detrimental to the breeding of other patterns such as Bi-Colours and Tabbies where Selfs are used, by mixing the 'Siamese' pattern with White Spotting and Tabby genes, which was specifically excluded in the breeding policy by not allowing the use of the Colourpointed British Shorthair in their mating.
		The use of good quality Self British Shorthairs has been and can still be a desirable tool in the improvement of many Colourpointed cats, but the Self and Tortie cats produced are a by product and should not be the intended product of this mating.

	Cat Genetics
		If you have a non-silver cat that is rfrf, it will have a reddish/rusty touch to its color, and in case you get rfrf in a mating, you'll have to draw your cat with a reddish tinge, and it would have to be neutered, since it's pet-quality, not for breeding or showing.
		Burmese cats have a yellow-golden eye color that was greenish-yellow in the beginning but has been intensified through selective breeding.
		avoid mating two cats that carry the rufusing gene (unless they are goldens, of course), or else your kittens that are rfrf will have a reddish touch to their color, and they would have to be neutered, since they are pet-quality, not for breeding or showing.

	Simple Genetics
		In cats, the chocolate gene (b) is known to be a mutation of the black gene (B).
		The red and cream colour in the cat is called a sex-linked gene because it is carried on the X chromosome.
		To achieve a clear-coated red the cat needs to be an agouti (ticked) tabby and highly rufoused.

	Governing Council of the Cat Fancy - Profile
		GCCF provides for the registration of cats and cat pedigrees, classifies cat breeds, licenses cat shows and works to improve the breeding of cats as well as protecting the welfare of cats and the interests of cat owners generally.
		It approves registration policies and standards of points for cat breeds, administers rules governing the breeding and showing of cats and exercises disciplinary powers.
		GCCF registers cats, provides certified pedigrees and registers breeding prefixes.

	Breeding Costs
		Next, every time a breeder buys a new kitten or cat for breeding she must make certain that cat is healthy and won't transmit any diseases, parasites, or genetic defects to the kittens (or to other cats already living in the home).
		You can also bet that a percentage of the breeding cats you buy will turn out to be unbreedable, will die unexpectedly, will develop pyometra and have their reproductive lives cut short, and so on.
		Breeding each domestic species is different with different special challenges.

	Traditional Balinese Cats and Kittens
		Our family has been breeding Traditional Siamese cats for nearly thirty years and two generations, and we are proud to have selected our breeding stock for their intelligence, loving and calm temperaments, robust health and beauty.
		Traditional Balinese cats and kittens are not only loving and playful, but extremely intelligent, being ranked most intelligent among all longer-haired cats while their silky non-matting coats shed minimally, the least of all medium-haired cats.
		Recently, we've begun to breed the silky-haired 'cousins' to Traditional Siamese, the Traditional Balinese which, in our opinion, is the only breed to rival the Traditional Siamese for being the finest of all companion cats.

	Why is the Savannah cat so expensive?
		The Savannah cat is a breed under development and unlike with other breeds is generally not produced by breeding Savannah cats to Savannah cats.
		The Savannah cats are a hybrid breed started by breeding a domestic cat to an African Serval cat.
		The reason for this is that most breeds of domestic cats are easily breed and produce kittens abundantly.

	Lioncrusher's Domain -- Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) facts and pictures
		The leopard cat is solitary, except during breeding season.
		There is no fixed breeding period in the southern part of their range; but in the colder northern parts they tend to breed around March or April, when the weather is nice enough to support newborn kittens.
		The leopard cat inhabits the forests and plains areas of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, with small populations in China.

	Cat Fanciers: Color Genetics
		Cats that are homozygous (S/S) tend to have more white area than cats that are heterozygous (S/s) for white spotting, but there are other modifying genes that can affect the degree of white spotting.
		People who have cats with just small patches of tabby markings on the head and tail and white everywhere else tend to think of them as white cats, but they are really tabbies all over.
		More cats have ticked fur than solid color, and in most of them, the ticked fur alternates with the solid color in some sort of pattern, which is called tabbying.

	Cat Fanciers: Manx: Cat Breed FAQ
		With the passage of centuries and due to the isolation of the cats from outside breeding, the taillessness eventually became a common characteristic among the Isle of Man cats, because the mutated gene is a dominant trait.
		The breeder continues to use tailed cats in the breeding program to insure strong kittens and to reduce the possibility of genetic deformity.
		The Manx is a stocky, solid cat with a dense double coat (long or short), a compact body, very short back, hind legs that are visibly longer than the front legs, big bones, a wide chest, and greater depth of flank (sides of the cat nearest the rear) than other cats.

		The goal of the breeding for four plus generations is to obtain a loving, calm domestic cat that has the physical characteristics of the small forest-dwelling wild cats.
		The Bengal also bonds very closely with humans so you are likely to experience a relationship with your Bengal that you have not had with other domestic cats.

	SIBERIAN CAT
		She has stated that the colorpoint Siberian has been in the breeding program since the beginning of the the Siberian breeding and is the same breed.
		We began asking questions and decided to obtain some of these colorpoint Siberians, with her assistance and the assistance of a Russian TICA judge our cats and kittens were hand selected and shipped to Maine, New Jersey, California and Minnesota to various existing Siberian catteries.
		The original Russian standard received with this large longhaired breed included a colors that were excluded from all of the Standards rewritten for this breed that were submitted to our American registries.......

	Savannah: FBRL Breed Page
		The Savannah is a hybrid breed derived from breeding together domestic cats and African Serval cats.
		Since this breeding is difficult to achieve, Savannahs remain a very rare breed.
		The Savannah is lean and graceful, with a distinct impression of wildness.

	The Asian Leopard Cat - The Bengal Cat's wild ancestor
		The early stages of breeding programmes are therefore usually carried by crossing female Asian Leopard Cat hybrids with male domestic cats.
		Now that the Bengal breeding programme is maturing, more Leopard Cat bloodlines are being introduced into the breed, bringing with it this diversity of colours.
		Bengal cats are the descendants of a cross between the Asian Leopard Cat and a domestic cat, originally Egyptian Maus, Abyssians or Ocicats.

	Hybrid Big Cats
		She kept the cats alongside her Abyssinian breeding cats and succeeded in breeding domestc x Oncilla hybrids using a domestic Abyssinian male and a female Oncilla.
		It was male, larger than a leopard, and had the head and tail of a leopard and the body, shoulders and neck-ruff of a tiger.
		Theoretical leopard (panther) x cheetah hybrids would have a mix of leopard and cheetah characteristics - a spotted or rosetted pelt (leopard melanism is recessive), semi-muscular build intermediate between the stocky leopard and the rangy cheetah.

	Bengal Cats (bred from the wild Asian Leopard Cat) that look like small leopards but are domestic and loving! The history of the Bengal breed, from Foothill Felines (California).
		There have been over 10 subspecies (plus certain individual ALC's that were captive bred) used in the Bengal breeding program, each contributing many different and unique characteristics.
		originally created by the breeding of the small, wild Asian Leopard Cat to a domestic cat such as the Abyssinan, American Shorthair, Burmese, or Egyptian Mau.
		Almost all leopard cats have 4 striped bands that run from their foreheads to behind their necks, ringed tails with black tips, black spots on white bellies, and distinctive, rosetted spots on pelts that vary from tawny brown, golden, grey, to bright orange-red backgrounds, with the spots being usually chocolate brown to black.

	CheetahsDen Bengals - Our Cats
		An F2 is the offspring of an F1, and F3 is the offspring of an F2, etc. After 3 generations of Bengal to Bengal breeding, we use the designation SBT and the Bengal is then allowed into the showring.
		The Bengal breed first originated from deliberate crossings of a leopard cat and house cats (rather like crossing a horse and a donkey to make a mule) by Jean Mill, who began an extensive breeding program that was picked up by numerous other breeders giving us today's Bengal breed.
		Not all Bengals have it (in fact it came from domestic cats, not the leopard cat), nor is it a required attribute of the Bengal breed.

	Platinum Beginning: Kittens who turn from Silver to Gold.
		Indeed, further breeding with cats exhibiting these color change phenomena to Persians born golden, rather than silver (in the case of Tessa's progeny) would also be an avenue for collection of additional data.
		The less eumelanin present in the hair shaft as a result of the smearing, the lighter the golden cat appears.
		A silver offspring daughter of this breeding exported to New Zealand was reported to have undergone the same silver to golden color change, again at adult age.
