The color of the British cat Whiskas: color features and subtleties of care

These curious little kittens in advertising cat food Whiskas can not be forgotten. Both young children and adults are searching on the Internet and in nurseries for the cat breed Whiskas thanks to the eponymous advertisement. I do not want to disappoint you, but this breed of cats does not exist. In advertising cat food Whiskas remove carefully selected cats and cats of the British Shorthair breed.

The first mention of this breed dates back to another 43 years of our era during the landing of legionnaires on the coast of Britain. In 1982, after a long selection, standards for such a breed were approved. A cat of the British breed is a large, muscular animal with a broad chest, with elegant short and thick hair. The head is large and round, on a short powerful neck. Eye color is amber yellow, emerald green, blue, they are surrounded by a dark border.

By nature, they are calm, balanced, docile, affectionate, benevolent aristocrats. They love people and are well suited to both singles and families with children.

The subspecies and colors of this breed are diverse. With good care can live up to 20 years.

The color of animals that appear in commercials is called tabby. This color has several varieties.

• Brindle tabby - in the form of frequent, narrow, non-intersecting bands throughout the body of the animal. On the paws and tail there is a pattern in the form of rings, and on the neck is a “dummy”.
• Spotted Tabby - the color in the form of circles and ovals, randomly arranged on the sides and back, contrasting with the lighter wool. Seals are very similar to leopards.
• Marble tabby - the color on the sides has clearly defined curls, rings, circles, and from the withers to the tail color in the form of a dark band. Neck and tail decorated with rings.
• Ticked Tabby it is characterized by color, smoothly passing from one monotone shade to another, without a pattern. On the neck is allowed "shirtfront" or strip.

The main features of Whiskas seals are:

• with silver-black marble and brindle colors that are very contrasting and look good in advertising;
• dark-edged orange or yellow eyes and nose;
• three continuous lines on the back;
• pattern on the forehead in the form of the letter "M";
• there is a white spot on the back of the ear.

If the cat knows where his toilet is, both the owner and the pet will be satisfied.

Another important issue is the filler. Some cats to satisfy their instinct, he is simply necessary, but there are those who do not need it. In the process of dating, you, of course, will find out, but it is better to immediately purchase a filler. Best option for granules. All that is soiled, you just need to remove the spatula. Sand, of course, is cheaper for this purpose, but think about the cleanliness of your pet and the cleanliness of your home.

Cats of the British breed are very clean and love to lick and clean themselves. They need help where they cannot reach. Namely, in cleaning the inner surface of the ears from sulfur and eyes using clean cotton swabs. It is recommended to bathe cats in warm water no more than 1 time in 3 months special shampoo for short-haired cats. You can use dry shampoo. Claws should be trimmed as they grow.

Teach the cat to comb slowly: do not frighten, do not hurt, do not squeeze. Talk to him - explain what you are doing. Comb better to choose with rounded edges or natural bristles. You need to comb it once a week, and moult every day. And as a result, it will bring incredible pleasure to you and the cat. If suddenly a strong molt begins - contact your veterinarian, this is not typical for this breed.

British Shorthair breed is prone to corpulence. With animals you need to play and monitor their food. According to the recommendations of veterinarians, they should be fed quality food in certain portions. Feed and canned food from different manufacturers should not be mixed with each other. It is necessary to add vitamin and mineral complexes to food. Access to clean drinking water should be permanent.

The British Shorthair is considered a healthy and hardy breed. Vaccinations begin to make at the age of 8-12 weeks and entered into a veterinary passport. Helminthiasis prevention is carried out every six months. Any discharge from the eyes, ears, anus, bad breath - a reason to go to the vet. If you care and monitor the condition of your cat - it will please you for many years.
