Kuril bobtail - the truth and myths about a tailless cat.
Long ago wanted to get a kitten and my choice fell on the British, already began to save up money as unexpectedly suggested to take me free of charge alimentary kitten of unknown breed - a Kuril bobtail. Business was already more than three years ago, and this breed really was not especially popular, responses on the Internet, as well as a photo, was a little, but after all was solved and went to look that it for tailless a koteyka.
Cenni Puscibots (so we called him) really differed from a standard cat, instead of a tail the fluffy pompon and the structure of a body flaunted differed a little, very much long hinder legs. Generally, fell in love from the first. The cat, as I already mentioned, is more than three has some therefore I can tell about breed a lot of things, we will consider the myths existing on the Internet:
1. Do not fade.
Fade also as! We have a fluffy, and during a molt wool everywhere, comb out how many you want!
2. Are not afraid of water.
Mine is afraid. To surf a paw in an aquarium - it we, of course, can, but wash is similar to death, after each water procedure of forgiveness to beg to have and buy yum-yum.
3. Does not stink.
And here I will agree with it, is what to compare to. The brother has too a cat and when he leaves, leaves the pet to us, his tray really smells stronger.
4. Not allergens.
In this point especially my personal opinion and the experience concerning only our relations with a cat. I am an allergic person, in general reaction at me to a lot of things (on the brother's cat a small small tortoiseshell at contact of wool with thin sites of skin), but kurbob sleeps in legs and see item 1. I cannot claim that breed not of allergen, but in our case this is true.
5. Give in to training.
Probably, any animal is trained if to be engaged in it, and our cat not an exception. Taught to bring the thrown thing in 15 minutes, it is a favourite game to this day, on a lead we walk regularly, ""nearby"" and it ""is impossible"" we know on teeth. ""Candle"" it is possible to teach by means of yum-yum probably each pet, but nevertheless it is not a dog, and the most part of cat's willfulness of course is present at breed.
6. Cat of one owner.
Yes, yes, yes!!! To other inhabitants of the house it is rather indulgent, can iron, feed, but will never come to hands itself. To the owner he is infinitely devoted to excessive persistence so if there is no time every time coming from work to give 15-20 minutes on a vyglazhivaniye of a koteyka, you do not get better. If the owner does not find time for the pet, begin on small to soil - to tear up wall-paper or furniture, to go on tables (this not only my opinion, the similar problem is at many forums).
In general breed interesting, not for nothing kurilets are called by kotopsam: and on a breast-band it is possible to walk, and cat's cats cats to listen. I cannot speak for all representatives, but mine is very loyal both to people, and to animals, signs of intelligence obviously slip, the breed is very unpretentious and the attention and love of the owner are most of all necessary for these cats.
