A-Z: Werewolf Cat
Seriously? Seriously.

A-Z: Van
The Turkish Van, or Van for short, is an old country cat that is still new to America. It has a thinner and smoother white coat than most cats and its tail and ears are colored. Its eyes are blue or amber or one of each.It enjoys swimming, is independent, vocal and not much of a cuddler.
The Van is healthy but suffers from obesity.
This cat needs to be combed regularly. It's good with adults but not the best feline to have around young children.
If you are interested in adding this cat to your family, please try your local shelter, rescue, petfinder.com or overstock.com.

A-Z: Turkish Angora
These beauties are known for their large tufted ears, their long fine-boned bodies and their good nature. They are healthy and can live to fifteen or twenty years of age. Though, their weight does need to be monitored. Like humans, if overweight, health issues can develop. In spite of their longer coats, they don't need a lot of grooming.
To adopt a Turkish Angora try your local rescue, shelter, petfinder.com or overstock.com.

A-Z: Silver Chinchilla
The silver chinchilla is a division of the shaded Persian. One of the distinctive markings that make these cats such beauties is the black mascara outline around their eyes. They have doll faces instead of Peke faces. Doll faces have the head structure of the original Persians before the noses were shortened. The Chinchilla is lighter weight than most Persians. It can weigh as little as four pounds. The black tipping at the end of the hair shaft gives the Chinchilla's coat a shimmery quality. The ear tufts, tummy and chest are solid white. Their beautiful eyes are either green or blue-green. It is difficult to tell a chinchilla from a shaded. The shaded has deeper black tipping at the end of the hair shaft than the chinchilla. The chinchilla's tipping is an 1/8 of an inch and the shaded is a 1/3. Personality? They've got it in spades. They're gentle but intelligent creatures and are considered to be one of the healthiest breeds of Persians.
Below is a pic of my sis modeling with one of the Fancy Feast Cats. Since the company she works for makes pet food, she gets to meet a lot of the celebs in the animal world. Isn't this ball of fluff gorgeous? I had to really study the picture. It looked so perfect, I thought it was a stuffed animal. The Fancy Feast Cats used in commercials that are made in the US, South Africa, Europe or Japan are silver chinchilla Persians. To adopt check your local shelter, rescue, petfinder.com or overstock.com.

A-Z: Queen
pinterest.comFemales used for breeding in catteries are called queens. Queens should not be breed until they reach at least eighteen months of age. Giving birth is called queening. Queens should have a thorough checkup before they are bred to make sure they are healthy. Estrus is when the queen is in heat. If the breeding is successful the kittens will be born approximately sixty-three days later.Reasons to alter instead of breed:
Spaying decreases risk of mammary cancer.
Neutering reduces spraying and fighting.
Altering will prevent the euthanization of millions of cats.
Left unchecked two cats and their offspring can breed eighty million cats in a decade.
