Pictures of cats: A chubby-cheeked bicolor Exotic Shorthair cat

PoC avatarPosted on January 29, 2021 by Michael BroadJanuary 29, 2021

This is a very interesting looking Exotic Shorthair cat. The standout feature other than the classic flat-face is the extraordinarily large chubby cheeks. They remind me of the cheeks of Russian bred British Shorthair cats. Why are the cheeks of … Continue reading →

Why are Maine Coons so big?

PoC avatarPosted on November 28, 2020 by Michael BroadNovember 28, 2020

Thai cats – describing their place in the Siamese cat family

PoC avatarPosted on August 26, 2020 by Michael BroadAugust 26, 2020

People have different points of view about Thai cats. And it is quite a complicated history. I will present my views and try and simplify the history. Although I expect someone to disagree with me. Thai cats are a relatively … Continue reading →

Why are Ragdolls so docile?

PoC avatarPosted on August 17, 2020 by Michael BroadAugust 17, 2020

The reason why Ragdolls are so docile is because they have been bred to be docile. This is called selective breeding. It is a little unusual for breeders to focus so intently on the character of the cat that they … Continue reading →

Massive blue British Shorthair made in Moldova

PoC avatarPosted on June 29, 2020 by Michael BroadJune 29, 2020

This is a massive blue British Shorthair bred in Moldova. The Eastern Europeans (and Russians) have a habit of creating extraordinary purebred cats through extreme selective breeding over many years. I have never seen a British Shorthair this size before. … Continue reading →

Where is the Maine Coon cat from?

PoC avatarPosted on June 29, 2020 by Michael BroadJune 29, 2020

Reasons why cats are selectively bred?

PoC avatarPosted on June 15, 2020 by Michael BroadJune 15, 2020
