Nicknames for cats and bobtail cats

Nicknames for bobtail cats

When choosing a name for the Kuril Bobtail, felinologists recommend paying attention to the character of the pet, since representatives of this breed have pronounced individualism. Thanks to their flexible and patient disposition, cats have established themselves as companions in large families, so the nickname should be easy to pronounce even by children. Bobtails remember the name given to them in 5-7 days and, if trained with them, respond to commands. Before choosing a nickname, it is also recommended to study the specific features of the species and external signs that distinguish them from other cats.

Education and physical activity

Thanks to the developed intelligence inherent in nature, Kurilian bobtails easily learn the rules of behavior in the house and can even be trained. Using the individual habits of the animal, you can teach cats interesting tricks.

You can literally negotiate with them: they are able to understand the meaning of up to 1000 words. Bobtails do not accept physical violence, but are very sensitive to intonation. For unacceptable behavior or pranks, a “reprimand” in a stern tone is sufficient.

Having chosen the “leader of the pack” from among the family members, the Kuril cat will be faithful to him all his life.

During puberty, the male will try to take the position of leader. At this time, it is important to let the animal know who is boss in the house by showing strength of character.

It is important for Kurilian Bobtails that they have somewhere to spend their energy. There should be enough space for games in the house. Without the ability to move sufficiently and actively, animals can fall into a depressed state. A caring owner will install posts, ladders, high shelves and other devices for cat climbing in the house.

Sociable, not evil in nature, but, on the contrary, kind and affectionate, Kuril cats are wonderful companions. They will happily play with an active child and will happily lie, purring, on the owner’s lap.

What's special about the breed?

Kurilian Bobtails do not show aggression towards children, therefore they are successful pets for families with children.

A domesticated breed that originated on the islands between the Kamchatka Peninsula and the island. Hokkaido cats have the following number of advantages over other types of cats:

• absence of stench from wool;
• early molting, stopping by 1.5 years of age;
• low likelihood of causing an allergic reaction;
• lack of inclination to mark the apartment;
• positive attitude towards children;
• love of water procedures;
• getting along with dogs and other types of cats;
• high tolerance to diseases;
• rare estrus in girls in adulthood;
• ability to digest natural food;
• ability to fish;
• small number of kittens born;
• melodious and rare meow.

The table shows the characteristic external signs of a cat belonging to the Kurilian Bobtail species:

According to research by felinologists, cats remember better and react more actively to nicknames that contain the letters “k” and “s”. The effect is due to improved perception of these sounds. For convenience, it is also better to give preference to names with 2-4 vowels. A well-recommended method of selecting a nickname based on the bright character traits of the pet, since Kuril Bobtails have pronounced individualism. Original names suit this breed.

Character and temperament

The most striking features that define the character of the Kuril Bobtail are the absence of aggression, devotion and affection for people. Unlike many cats, they become attached not to the house, but to the owner. Having appeared in the family, the bobtail chooses its own leader, without whom it cannot imagine its existence.

From the characteristics of the breed it follows that Kurils are sociable and easy-going. Cats immediately learn the rules of behavior and family routine and follow it, getting used to the place allocated to them, the toilet.

There are many features in the habits of Kuril Bobtails that resemble the behavior of dogs. They are often called guard cats. At the slightest suspicion of a threat to their owner, they are ready to fight back the offender.

Cats are easy to train, for example, fetch. They meet and see off the owners at the door of the house. They say that even the greeting meow of bobtails is reminiscent of a dog barking.

Epithets that can be given to cats of this breed: friendly, affable, playful, active, peaceful.

Breed and children

Representatives of the Kurilian Bobtail cat breed are not at all aggressive towards children. They are not offended by unexpected childish cruelty; they allow themselves to be pulled by their whiskers and pulled by their tail.

Purrs show tender feelings to the baby and surround him with attention. They will play with pleasure, guard their sleep, and with loud meows will warn adults about the danger threatening their child. Bobtail cats are excellent nannies.

Breed and other animals

Bobtails get along well with other cats. They are not jealous by nature. But among its equals, the Kuril cat will definitely try to establish a hierarchy; it is important for him to be the leader in the pack. A pet can easily make friends with a dog.

However, it is better not to have birds, hamsters, or fish in the apartment. After all, the natural instincts of a hunter have been preserved in the Kuril Bobtail cat breed. But in a short time it will rid the house of mice, and when fishing it will become an indispensable “assistant” for the owner, helping to pull the catch out of the water.

General recommendations for choosing a nickname

• As a rule, there are no problems with choosing a name. In fact, you can name your pet anything and any word that most often comes to mind in association with a cat. You can base it on character, color, breed and much more. But in any case, you need to approach the selection of a nickname responsibly. A cat gets used to a certain word, and then it is almost impossible to retrain it to react to another.
• Whether or not you should call it by a human name is up to you to decide. However, it is still desirable that the nickname be a cat's. This will make it possible not to confuse possible guests or family members who have the same name.
• You should avoid nicknames that do not at all correlate with the appearance and character of the cat and are of a negative nature. Still, the nickname for a pet is given once and for all. You can give beautiful and affectionate names, which would fully convey all the respect and love of the owner for the pet.
• It is advisable to choose a consonant short name with two or three syllables, so that you can immediately and quickly call your pet to you. Often, in pursuit of an original name, owners choose nicknames that are too complex, thereby complicating the pronunciation and losing simplicity. Fortunately, beautiful sound does not interfere with simplicity. There are a lot of beautiful words that have only two or three syllables.
• Before giving an unusual name that is a word from another language, it is better to check the meaning. For example, you can take a lot of foreign names or words that mean a beautiful word in translation.
• A nickname will be very appropriate and convenient if it contains whistling and hissing sounds, because cats react very well to such sounds. For example, Kusya, Dusya. It is very good when the sounds “k” and “s” are combined in the name (Kisa, Xeon, Scarly). And it is also very undesirable to have only dull sounds, because in this way the word loses its sonority.
• After a kitten appears at home, you should immediately think about a nickname and soon start calling it that, so that the kitten gets used to its name once and for all and calls itself in the future.

So, what is a beautiful name for a cat?

Caring for the Kurilian Bobtail

Caring for kurbob is not difficult. It is important to provide your pet with a suitable scratching post and separate bedding (bed, house).

If we are talking about a cat with semi-long hair, then it needs to be combed at least twice a week with a special brush. Bobtails do not shed as much as, for example, Persian cats, so there are no problems with their coat. Short-haired cats are brushed once a week. During spring and autumn shedding, cats are brushed more often. The coat of Kurilian Bobtails does not mat due to the stiffer and longer outer hair (awn), practically does not shed and does not easily get dirty.

Many breeders claim that cats of this breed are odorless.

Caring for ears, eyes, claws and teeth is the same as for other cat breeds. Discharge from the eyes is removed daily with a damp cloth (use a separate cloth for each eye) for eye care. The ears are inspected once a week and cleaned as they become dirty with special ear care wipes or a cloth soaked in vegetable oil or apple cider vinegar solution (50% water and 50% apple cider vinegar). Nails are usually trimmed twice a month. Teeth should be brushed at least twice a month, but preferably once a week. To do this, use a bandage wrapped around your finger or a special toothbrush for cats. Pet stores offer a wide range of toothpastes for animals in different flavors.

It is not recommended to bathe cats of this breed too often; it is better only when they are very dirty.

Kurilian Bobtail

Kurilian Bobtail breed was developed relatively recently.
Because of its characteristic color and smooth movements, breeders nicknamed the cat a domesticated lynx. Its characteristic feature is a small, hare-like tail. By the way, “bobtail” means “short tail”. This is an amazingly smart and cheerful cat that loves the company of people and treats all family members well. The bobtail standard was adopted in 1995, and since then beautiful short-tailed cats have begun to appear at exhibitions. It should be noted that the Kuril Bobtail breed can have two variations: semi-longhair and shorthair; they are assessed separately. Kuril cats are small, but muscular, with a strong and compact body and smooth body lines. The head is proportional to the body, has the shape of an equilateral triangle with rounded lines. A forehead with a smooth transition to the nose, full cheeks, low cheekbones. The cat's chin is strong and its nose is straight. The ears are medium in size, set wide and high, with brushed tips and well rounded. Kurilian Bobtail cats have almond-shaped medium eyes, slightly slanted, but not deep-set or protruding. The eyes must match the color; all shades of yellow-green are allowed.

The cat's body is strong and muscular, but it should not be rough. The limbs are not too long, the paws are round, small and wide. The cat's tail is short, its length ranges from 5 to 13 centimeters, it is shaped like a “pompom” and has a good edge. The tail can be of any degree of mobility; it consists of 2-10 vertebrae, bent in different directions.

The coat of short-haired individuals should be small and thin, with a dense undercoat. Longer hair grows on the back and lower parts of the body. Semi-longhair cats have thin, long hair with a dense, clearly visible undercoat. The decorating hair should be well-groomed, the tail should be pubescent, and a collar should be visible on the chest and neck.

Any colors are allowed except Abyssinian and color point. The best option is bicolors and tabbies. The brindle pattern is one of the main color varieties, with a dark stripe running along the back and tail, and the sides are covered with vertical stripes. The spotted color is also popular; it is exotic and resembles a wild lynx. The sides of the cat are covered with oval or round spots, and a broken dark line runs along the back. Another type of color is marbled, the sides of the cat are covered with characteristic stains, and two stripes run along the back.

The main disadvantages of the Kuril Bobtail are considered to be: irregular body structure, too narrow head, round or bulging eyes, slightly pubescent or too long tail, dry and dull coat without undercoat, pointed ears. Crossing bobtails with other breeds is not allowed.

In order to accustom a kitten to the litter box, you should first introduce it to the place where its toilet will be. It is better to first pour regular sand into the tray, rather than modern fillers. When the kitten already understands what is required of him, then it will be possible to use more hygienic fillers, gradually replacing sand with them.

Sometimes they develop toxicosis, which manifests itself in the form of morning vomiting, lethargic cat behavior, fatigue and lethargy, and refusal to eat. This behavior may continue for several days in a row. Somewhere in the third week of pregnancy, the cat's nipples begin to enlarge and turn pink.

It is important to remember that during pregnancy a cat is contraindicated from vaccination, prevention or treatment for worms, or the use of antibiotics or other drugs.

In the last stages of pregnancy, which lasts about 65 days, cats should not be allowed to climb to heights, jump from there, or play active games with children.

According to breed standards, the Kurilian Bobtail cannot have a tail. Also, a cat with a short but even tail cannot belong to this breed.

No one has ever docked bobtail tails and has no plans to do so in the future. These pets have this length and shape as a result of a gene mutation in their natural habitat.

The peculiarities of the shape of each individual tail (and they are individual and unique for each representative of the breed) are determined by the number of vertebrae, their location and kinks of the joints. You should not try to straighten the bobtail's tail, as such actions will cause discomfort and pain to the animal.

Kurilian Bobtail cat or female cat, which one to choose?

Before buying a Kuril Bobtail kitten, you should think about who exactly you should take: a male cat or a kitten. To make the right choice, it is worth remembering that cats of this breed are much larger in size than female cats.

Representatives of the stronger sex are capricious bullies; they will not leave a passing cat alone. Kitties, on the other hand, are calmer and more diligent, but can disturb their owners several times a year during periods of heat. If there are no serious plans for breeding a breed, then it is fashionable to take a cat with the prospect of sterilization. Such a representative will cost a little less, and after the procedure you will be confident in her peace of mind.

Character of the Kurilian Bobtail

The Bobtail does not have a cat-like character at all; in terms of loyalty and friendliness, this cat can compete with dogs. They are very friendly, have an unusual and pleasant voice, and accompany their owners in all matters. These pets become very attached to people and seek their company, which is a very rare occurrence for cats, which are known to “walk on their own.” The owner should make sure that the pet has free space where he can jump, climb and play. These cats are very active.

Buying a Kurilian Bobtail kitten

The Kurilian Bobtail is a Russian cat breed, so there are unlikely to be any problems with purchasing a purebred kitten. Kittens with pet class documents (pet) cost from 10,000 to 15,000 rubles, for breeding class kittens (for breeding) you will have to pay from 20,000 to 35,000 rubles, the price for show class kittens ranges from 35,000 to 50,000 rubles. For kittens without a pedigree they ask from 3,000 to 8,000 rubles.

Since the breed is still quite rare, it is recommended to carefully search for a nursery and check it before purchasing. A conscientious breeder will never sell you a kitten younger than 12-16 weeks. The kitten must have a veterinary passport (indicating all vaccinations received). When purchasing, you must conclude a sales contract, and when transferring money for a kitten, ask the breeder to provide a receipt confirming that he has received the money. These documents will help you in the future if any claims arise against the breeder or the quality/health of the kitten.

Kurilian bobtails have only 2-3 kittens in a litter. Kittens are born blind and deaf, their weight ranges from 95-140 g. Cats help cats care for kittens. Kurbobs reach full physical development only at the age of five.
