more than the gold nuggets that brought the 49’ers west. There are about 20 million cats in the United States. Most of them are housecats and don’t belong to the 30 recognized and pedigreed breeds that frequent cat shows When you choose a cat for a pet, size is no problem They only come in one size and either have short or long hair Therefore your choice will probably ,be made according to the cat's color and individual personality Most long haired breeds originated in Italy before the 16th century They are short legged, stocky, round headed, have flattened noses, small rounded ears, round eyes and short full tails. Most short haired breeds have slim, sleek bodies, a long slender tail, slender legs, round feet, pointed ears, triangular shaped heads and large almond shaped eyes They come in an assortment of colors: white, cream, buff. gold, yellow., orange, red. gray, black, smoke blue, brown and silver and m variations of all the above It s a curious fact that most pure white cats with blue eyes are born deaf Also, male calicos are very rare What is commonly called a calico cat can also be identified as a Tortoiseshell cat.
