Jotom Persians

Given that adopting a cat is a significant commitment - they live for an average of 15 years - it makes sense to learn more about cat breeds before you buy. Two extremely popular purebreds are the Siamese and the Persian, although both of these have characteristics that may make them unsuitable choices for some people. Fortunately, there are a large number of other breeds to choose from, many of them less well known. Two of these less recognized breeds actually give hope to feline loving allergy sufferers, as they have a low-allergy coat and are generally well tolerated. Although not as popular as they once were, Siamese cats have many loyal fans, and for good reason. They are extremely beautiful...

Long before the dog food scare, health-conscious dog and cat owners in Europe and Australia knew of the B.A.R.F. diet and had been feeding it to their pets for years. Now America is catching on, but it is a slow process. Raw foods remind us of "something unhealthy". Even the official veterinarian manual does not have a lot of information regarding animal nutrition. Most of it comes from the very powerful dog food lobby, which, may be killing our pets. Forget about the rat poison recently found. That might be the healthiest ingredient in that mush. Television offers us one view of how to care for our dogs, especially the many "high quality" dog foods now available on the market. But how high quality...

When that sweet little puppy face is staring at you, begging you to take it home, it's easy for rational thought to go out the window. And if that adorable face comes complete with a few face licks, you're most likely already sold. The moment you're being bombarded with wet kisses, you're probably not thinking about all the time and energy, not to mention the cost of owning a dog. Besides the time spent training and caring for it, there are also the basic expenses of food, a warm bed, grooming and veterinary care. In addition, you'll want to have a few other things on hand: a leash and collar for walks, toys for playtime and treats for training. Most of these expenses vary from dog to dog...

Crate Training can be used as an adjunct to House Training puppies. By instinct, most dogs do not want to defecate or urinate in their den -- in this case, the crate. The puppy will stay in the crate while he is not being fed or watched but each stay in the crate should be of short duration. When the puppy needs to go, take him to his usual area and give him the same command every time. Make a great fuss of the dog when he has completed his toilet. Until housebroken, the puppy is either in the crate or is closely supervised. Before the puppy goes in the crate, give him plenty of attention and play (and time for toilet), so that he is ready to rest and take it easy and goes into his crate willingly...

Many veterinarians stress the importance of oral hygiene because tooth and gum problems are common medical conditions seen in pets. If left unchecked, an unhealthy mouth can affect the liver, kidneys, heart and even the brain. So when you lean in to give your pet a smooch, ask yourself ?Does my pet need a breath mint?? Studies show that 98% of pets with bad breath are suffering from severe plaque build up. Bad breath not only means that your pet's mouth may be a warehouse for unhealthy bacteria, tartar and plaque, but it can also point to unhealthy intestines. In addition, the quality of your pet's food can contribute to the status of your pet's breath. Low quality food can cause digestive problems...

I know from my experience as a pet portrait artist, that dog portraits are truly the best gift! When my phone rings and I hear the person at the other end of the line describe a relative's or friend's dog, I know that this person feels as I do - dogs (and all other pets for that matter) are people too!

A painting which captures not only the likeness of a pet, but also their spiritual nature can help ease the grief a person feels after their beloved companion has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

Fondue is one of the best ways I know of to bring friends, family, (and of course) lovers closer together. Dining above a steamy fondue pot, dipping pieces of sweet crisp apple into melted brie and sharing everything from a bottle of wine to bites of chocolate covered strawberry, it couldn't be more cozy. When I was in the 8th grade I had my four best friends over for a lunch date during summer break. Each of them was supposed to bring an item to dip, and although two of them flaked out, one of them had a dad that catered parties in the 60s. A host at heart, he must have understood my mission and he loaded her up with treats. I poured vegetable oil into my mom's vintage pot and lit the little tin...

Teeth are very important to cats. If they lose their teeth, they have no way of eating. A cat's natural instinct is to chew their food as where if a person loses their teeth they can puree food for nutrition.

In some cases, accumulation of food particles between the teeth will cause an infection and the same if food gets under the gum. Cats normally do not like to...

The rough translation for Korat is 'Good Fortune.' Going way back into history, the earliest mention of a Korat comes in the form of a book of poems produced sometime between 1350 and 1767. Like many breeds, it has its share of folk tales and legends associated with it. One particular piece of folklore claims that if your Korat has kinks in its tale, it will bring you increased good luck. A native of Thailand, the Si-Sawat, as it is called there, is highly revered and honored, and at one time was only owned by royalty and members of the government. The Korat was slow to emigrate from its native Thailand, only reaching North America and Europe in the late 1960s. They have a particularly romantic...

There is no standard procedure to follow for cat training but there are a few...
