A cat in the apartment? Never! Or would it? | ČtiDoma.cz

Most parents - whether they love animals or do not want to be present - have certainly ever encountered their children's request for a four-legged friend. Some of our offspring are content with a hamster (which, frankly, is not a big win, because they are often active animals mainly at night, so within a few weeks the question of "where to go" with him does not appear.)

It is almost impossible to sleep in one room with a hamster, which trains sprints in its wheel all night). The truth is that we keep such an animal in a cage, so we can clearly determine the space it controls. The rest of the apartment is then ours. But the truth is that it is not an animal that would somehow repay its breeder significantly. So if we want to get a companion for our children or for ourselves, whose presence we will be able to perceive more intensely, a difficult decision will come: a cat or a dog?

Cat and dog people We each have our own arguments - "dog" people appreciate the love and loyalty of the animal, those "cats" admire the independence and autonomy of those who come to the house and immediately begin to rule in it shamelessly and confidently. An indisputable argument that can decide on the acquisition of a cat is its ease of walking.

While dog breeders run around the city with their pets at six o'clock in the morning, cat owners are slowly waking up to the sounds of cat spinning, which the lady of the house gently indicates to them that it's time for breakfast. Yes, it is true that cat breeding is not always so idyllic, but the difference described is crucial for many.

Cat! "Well, it'll be a cat," the decision is made one day, and the eyes of the children and other family cats begin to glow. Mothers, housekeepers, housekeepers tend to be less happy, and their heads will be alerted at that moment, which will not and will not stop. "Hair on the couch, hair on the floor, hair in the kitchen, cat hair completely, but absolutely everywhere ..." But it is also possible to find a way out of this problem, and that is the right choice of the acquired breed. So which cats will relieve us of most of the described worries?

SphynxAs probably the first thing most people think of at such a time is the thought of a cat not loosening its hair for a simple reason - it doesn't have one. Of course, such an animal exists and is not even as represented in the local cat population as it might seem. This is a breed of sphynx, which, due to its appearance, many have to find their way a little longer. If the family comes to terms with the idea that they will not cuddle with a live stuffed animal, but with a hairless animal, there is probably nothing to think about. These are animals whose ancestors were already known in Aztec times, but the sphynx was recognized as a breed only relatively recently, in 1988, first in America and later in other countries.

The Sphynx is a very social breed, the animals suffer from solitude even to the point that they can become ill. It is therefore not appropriate to buy them if its future breeders often stay away from home for a long time. In this case, it is advisable to buy two cats so that they can keep each other company. However, they tolerate and live very well with other domestic animals, including dogs. Individuals of this breed are non-conflicting, they like to play and they seldom defend themselves against something with their claws.

They are therefore also suitable for children (and with regard to the absence of hair, of course, also for allergy sufferers). Because the animals of this breed do not have fur, there is of course no need to brush them. On the contrary, it should be noted that sphynx breeders must prepare to bathe their wards at approximately fortnightly intervals. Without such care, the animal's skin starts to smell, it is oily and such a condition definitely does not benefit the cat. The willingness of these cats to take a bath is a great relief. So we do not have to worry that at the end of the cat bath, the bath will be colored with the blood of a scratched breeder.

Carthusian catAre you insisting that you want the cat "whole", including hair, and you would also like them to stay as much as possible where they are wanted - on her body? Then the Carthusian cat is the best possible choice. Because of its color, many confuse it with a Russian or British blue cat. However, card breeders will easily differentiate their pets from the above-mentioned ones only due to the shape of the head, the constant "smile" and the shape and color of the eyes. It is the charming honey-gold to orange eyes that are characteristic of Carthusian cats.

Carthusian cats come from France, where they were bred as a breed by Carthusian monks. It is said that this is where their quiet behavior comes from - the Carthusian cat seldom tries to push through his voice, although of course he can meow and, if necessary, he will also speak. These are very adaptable animals, which are not a problem or change in the environment. So they are also ideal for families who, for example, leave for the weekend and want to take a cat with them. They don't have a problem with other animals either, which they usually start to rule very soon. Unlike the mentioned Russian cats, they are not so active, but they do not reach the comfort of British cats.

Like the Carthusian cat, the Thai does not require special care of the coat, which in her case appears in multiple color variants.

As already mentioned, Carthusian cats shed very little. That's why caring for their very thick and water-repellent fur is relatively easy - just comb it once a week. Bath, unlike sphynxes, they definitely do not look for.

Thai catThe third of the breeds that can be recommended to breeders who are concerned about the cleanliness of their household are Thai cats. As the name implies, their place of origin is Thailand (formerly Siam). Although it is a breed with a long tradition, in the Czech Republic its representatives are only briefly. These are very tolerant, intelligent and independent cats, which can easily live in the rhythm of their family's life, can sense the mood of their breeders and adapt to it. If we pay enough attention to the Thai cat, it is able to learn many commands thanks to its intelligence, it can retrieve and acquire many other skills. It is relatively easy to teach her to walk on a leash.

There are, of course, an inexhaustible number of cat breeds, and we can take these three selected as the basic inspiration for choosing the most ideal for your family. After all, it has been proven that living with animals improves the quality of life, calms, relieves stress (unless you are trying to retouch the scratched part of the couch) and teaches children responsibility. Tell yourself - isn't it worth thinking about?
