Kittens Training Secrets And Techniques Revealed

[seoxeee]

Dr. Joseph C. Thompson brought a cat named Wong Mau from Burma to the United States in 1930. This cat was a deep brown color, and many fans assumed she was a very dark Siamese. Dr. Thompson disagreedBest Maine Coon kittens and he and other like-minded breeders decided to breed Wong Mau in order to determine what breed she was. Wong Mau was the forefather of the Burmese breed.

Dr.Thompson's theory seemed to be supported by Wong Mau's kittens. When she was bred to a Siamese, the kittens appeared to be Burmese/Siamese hybrids as well as pure Siamese. When the Burmese/Siamese hybrids were bred, they produced the deep, dark Burmese kittens. The darker-colored Burmese cats then bred true, proving that Wong Mau was, in fact, a Siamese-Siamese hybrid with a dark-colored unknown cat.

Unfortunately, due to the popularity of this breed, hybrids began to appear in the show ring instead of pure Burmese in 1947. The showing of hybrids was a violation of the Cat Fanciers' Association's show rules, and recognition of the Burmese was withdrawn as a result. The Burmese Cat Society of America assured the registries that it would not happen again until 1953.

GROOMING

The Burmese's satiny coat sheds little and is easy to groom with weekly brushing. To make the coat shine, use a rubber curry brush to remove loose hair and distribute skin oils. Finally, polish it with a soft chamois (not the same one you use on your car, please).

The only other grooming the Burmese requires is weekly nail trimming and ear cleaning if the ears appear dirty. Use a gentle cleanser that your veterinarian has recommended.

Brush your pet's teeth on a regular basis using a vet-approved pet toothpaste for good general health and fresh breath. Brushing, nail clipping, and teeth brushing should begin early in order for your kitty to tolerate these procedures.
