If you should not have
had yet the
pleasure experience the oriental beautifulnesses live you must retrieve
this as soon as possible. It is actually a special experience to
experience the fusion of fantastic ease and nobler elegance personally.
Represent orient short hair - cats are occasional on cats - exhibitions
to find, however not always straight numerously. The intelligent cats
with the large eavesdroppers is evenly no mass-produced goods,
but rare pieces, which by a small lover circle
one honoured.
Completely
self-confidently
Similarly
as also with Siam - the
pronounced self-confidence of most surprises cats oriental short hair -
cats: They do not suffer from inferiority complexes or similar
inhibitions. Who approaches them, becomes dependent on the individual
development of the oriental character - with decided
obligingness, encroachment or prevail-addicted district
behavior
welcomes. Who is not pleasant to the slim cats, has bad maps. They
punish it with letting down ignoring. However if chemistry between cat
and humans is correct, the ice is very fast broken. Before one provides
oneself it, a saliently formed head rubs against our hand and requests
us with loud Purr to tender stroking units.
A-colored
and beautifully
Orient
cats and belong to short hair -
cats are the in-colored relatives the Siam - officially to the varied
family of the Orientalen. They belong to most traditional exotic races
at all. In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance Orientalen were
allegedly predominantly represented in Thailand and with European cat
friends still completely unknown. It may have given or other traveler,
who came actually once into the benefit of looking to a Vorfahrin of
the today's orients that the puzzling eyes but descriptions of this
kind did not seem to be authentic. From Thai writings it is however
well-known that the slim beautifulnesses temporarily held the high
status of a national cat and became estimated in noble circles.
Be
correct-enormous personalities
Orients
are eloquent, loud and
sometimes also exaggerated report needy. Like also most other orient
cat races, then also to each individual orient short hair - cats a
being correct force and a report need are put into the throw crate,
which have it in itself. Get accustomed thus directly at the thoughts
to divide with a four-legged interlocutor your realm who sticks you
every now and then at every step and turn at the heels and you much to
tell has.
Siamese
cats A
completely large personality
With
a Siam - cat is one never more
alone. Usually the slim cats estimates the presence of its humans and
is in principle in the area, in which also its reference person is.
Their sociability is paired with a pronounced communication readiness:
Merry chitchat with strong voice belongs simply to the Siamesen - to
everyday life. Climbing and jumping are for Siam - cats important
needs. Full life do gymnastics the grazilen athletes by the house and
leave no climb Possibilities
unused.
Disputed
beauty
The
extreme appearance of the Siamcats
still provides for controversies: For the one it is the most beautiful
cat of the world, other one feels the Grazie in the extreme type of
slim with its triangular head and the remarkably large ears simply than
most unattractive. This situation is not new for the breed. Since their
first appearance in Europe (about 1871) the elegant mask cats provided
for attention and split the nation. Already at that time there were
lively controversies about the unusual race, which both when "the
nightmare cat with the Mardergesicht" and with the designation "elegant
beauty from far Thailand" was described. In this pronounced
disagreement of the cat friends to today nothing changed.
Thai
roots
In
the Thai - national - library in
Bangkok one discovers one the earliest reference, which can be rated as
description of a Siam - a cat. Here it concerns obviously the oldest
cat book of the world, a valuable document out of Siams of old capital
Ayudha, which was completed between 1350 and 1767. In a chapter of the
book one finds a description, which describes a bright cat with dark
badges at tail, paws and ears. Does it concern here the first
description of a Siamcat or does lead themselves us the old document,
in which the mentioned cat with the soundful name Vichien Mas is
designated, into those errs? Everything points on the fact that the
Siam - cats obviously already before long time as temple -, originating
from today's Thailand, was admired cats and itself in particular in the
surrounding field of noble cats - breeders of largest popularity
pleased. The designation "noble moon diamonds", which emerges in many
contemporary documents, does not leave a doubt to the fact that
Siamcats were judged since more jeher than somewhat completely special.
To all appearances the race was to be found also in Siam - and/or
Thailand - relatively rarely and only at probably situierten families.
The
cat cult experienced its bloom during
12. and 13. Dynasty (around 1800 v. Chr.). The Heiligtum of the
goddess, Bubastis in the eastern Nile-delta, became the place of
pilgrimage. Egyptians from all parts of the realm brought
"Devorionalien" in form of small cat figures from ceramic(s) and bronze
as opfergaben. Point of main attraction were the enormous Nekropolen in
the direct proximity sanctify around. Here the Egyptians buried the
einbalsamierten bodies of their deceased iLieblingskatzen. They lay in
klienen verzierten coffins and were equipped with toy, food (mice e.g.
mummified) for the long journey in the the other world. For the
indication of the mourning wrong-basic humans the brows shaved
themselves off. For the well-being of the actual temple cats a nearly
militarily tautly organized priest caste strove. The highest public
offices were open to the servants of the Bastet. Just as strictly was
also the punishment if a priest made itself guilty the carelessness in
handling the holy cats. The Egyptians counted also completely
realistically that a cat would bring them 28 in 7 years approximately
boy. To be silent completely of their "holyness", a fruitful Kaetzin
possessed also a high, purely material value. It was the status symbol
of a wealthy Egyptian. Their export was strictly forbidden. The
wonderful, kastanienbraune cat, which is colored "like a
Havannazigarre", was recognized 1958 as the first Varietaet that
eastern short hair in England with an at that time still separate
standard. Chestnutbrown Foreign Shorthair was baptized it. Starting
point of this breed were Chocolate POINT Siamesen. The earliest
description of a in-colored brown (Self Brown) cat dates already from
the year 1894. Mrs. French, an engaged Pionierin of the cat breed,
introduced a Chocolate POINT Siamesin Granny Grumps to England. Granny
Grumps was covered by its son master Timkey Brown. The throw of these
two was described as follows: "Siamesen with a skin in the color of
polished Katanien and bluish green eyes." One must consider that the
color was at that time absolutely unorthodox brown in the cat world. As
appropriate rare piece one celebrated also the brown Kaetzin Adastra
imported to England, which is to be regarded as the ancestor woman of
many today's Chocolate POINT Siamesen. The existence of another early
Havanna is occupied for the year 1923. At that time a Chocolate Self
Kater was in the possession of Mrs. Koch made of Leipzig. It appears as
Swiss mountain cat in several reports. With this Deckkater it could
purely theoretically also around an optical brown colouring,
hervorgefugen themselves by extreme a climate, acts, if it should be
actually imported from Switzerland. 1951 were begun by Baroness of
Ullman with the regular breed of the Chocolate Self. Starting point
were a Chocolate POINT Kater and a slim black Kurzhaarkaetzin.
According to the same breed pattern Siamesen were Russian-blue crossed
and. But the first Havannakitten of the more recent time lay in a
throw, which had actually the breed goal Colourpoint Perser. Those
chats Kurzhaarkaetzin Susannah (nut/mother: Seal POINT Siam, father:
Perser, blacker - thus a typical F-1-Kaetzin)"was verheitatet" with the
seal POINT Deckkater Tombee, and to 24.10.1952 first Self Chocolaete
cements was appropriate in the nest, Elmtower Bronce Idol. A
captivatingly beautiful feature is the black Orientalin, the Ebony. As
already for decades in different countries and received everywhere
different names are bred: in the English-language countries "Black
Foreign Shorthair", "Self seal Siamese", "Oriental or Self Black". In
Australia she was called "Suzuki Black Foreign Shorthair" and in the
Netherlands "Oosters type Zwart".
