Cats - Page 2
A combination of black and red produces the tortoiseshell variety. Curiously enough, "tortoise-shell"
cats are almost always females, and red cats males, whereas the other breeds may be of either sex.
A breed well marked by its fawn color with black head and extremities is the Siamese. Longhaired cats
are called “Persians,” but there is no reason to think they originated in Persia.
In Malayan cats the tail is often short and kinked, but this organ is reduced to a mere vestige in the
breed known as the Manx cat, which is supposed to have come from the Isle of Man.
Domestic cats have been transported all over this spinning globe of ours that we call home,
and in many countries have wandered into the bush or wilds
and become established as wild animals. So now you have something to think about the next time they
are pouncing on a mouse or whatever interests them! ... Mice Beware!
