Cats have long been conquered by most people, not only for their appearance, but also for their gentle character. However, red beauties deserve special popularity among them. And this is not in vain, because many legends are associated with them and will take them.

Color features

Real red cats are a rare beauty. Few people know that it is the cats with the red color in nature that are much smaller than the cats. But this is all true for pure-red Fuzzies. Meanwhile, they can be multi-colored or even striped. And still red stripes or specks can be combined with black or white flowers. Strips and spots are and barely noticeable, and very bright.

Solid red color mainly belongs to the males, in addition, it is usually pedigreed cats. This phenomenon is caused by some of the genetic characteristics of animals. However, this color also has some specifics: it is the marbling of the shade and the frequently occurring stripes. Such a dilution of shades led to the emergence of a new color, which they began to call “coffee with milk”.

If a baby born to him has inherited from his parents not only the redhead gene, but also the diluent gene, the kitten's fur will not be brightly fiery, but, on the contrary, will acquire a beautiful cream color.

Eye colors

If we talk about eye color, then green cats are given by nature. But the orange or blue tint peephole appeared in them as a result of the work of some specialists. Most often, the combination of copper eyes with ginger color can be found in pedigree cats, and all this happened thanks to the work of breeders.

The color of the eyes of kittens appears only after a while.. Therefore, to predict their color is almost impossible. For example, if kids have eyes that are brown in color, then over time they will acquire a bright orange color scheme. Yellow color can also become orange, but grayish may in the future acquire a deep gray or a bluish tone.

Character

A few words to describe such pets is almost impossible. After all, the red kitten can be affectionate, and gentle, like a dandelion, and as fast as a fire tornado. Their behavior is so unpredictable that the owner will not cease to be surprised by the new manifestations of character. Especially the cat attracts attention when it is still small. At this time, animals are quite frisky, and literally do not sit in one place.

In addition, they love to play with children, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl. Cats forgive a lot for their little owners, and they, in turn, are drawn to them.

In addition, red beauties easily get along with other pets that live in the house.

What are the breeds?

You can meet this color both in pedigree and completely mongrel cats. Ryzhiki can be furry or short-haired.

Persian cats

Such animals have a rather playful and fun character. Cats whose fox fur coats quickly become attached to their owners, unlike their relatives of the same breed, but with a different color.

Small kittens have a muscular body and a long, snub-nosed nose. They have very soft and long hair. Red Persians are pretty calm. If we talk about their standards, the red color does not affect the scores at the exhibitions at all. Disqualification may be the case if the animals have small specks on the nose or lips. However, only those cats that have a uniform color receive the highest points.

The diet of fire beauties must include such products as oatmeal, sea fish, as well as various vitamins. Many before the exhibition bathe their pets in the husks of the bow, so that the fur becomes more saturated and bright.

But it is not recommended to use dyes, as it is harmful to health, and exhibition organizers are not encouraged.

Maine Coons

This breed of animals was bred quite recently, so the habits of wild ancestors are still present in their character. That is, sometimes they can show not only affection and friendliness, but also aggression. In addition, the Maine Coons are rather difficult to train. The weight of such beauties may in some cases even exceed the weight of the dog. It comes to 14-16 kilograms. Their color is lilac and chocolate, and, of course, red.

British

These animals are considered one of the most ancient breeds of cats. They are calm and proud, and they are supposed to be British. If red kids appear in the litter, they immediately become popular, and they are among the first to be taken away.

However, pure-red cats are born quite rarely. Most often they are smooth haired. But by standards, their color must be monotonous and very saturated. Nevertheless, small specks on the head or legs will not become an obstacle to participation in the exhibition.

The eyes of such beauties are often orange, which is very popular with the judges, who evaluate them.

Siberian

Cats of this breed are descended from animals that lived in the steppes. Their size is very large, it can reach up to 14 kilograms. In addition, they all retained their natural instincts. Therefore, they like to hunt and bring caught prey to the house.

But at the same time, they are very loyal and affectionate towards their masters. Huge Siberians love to play with small children. However, to keep them in the apartment is not recommended, because freedom will help pets feel at ease. Keep these animals is best in a country house or in the country.

Scottish

Their fur can be colored in different shades, but white-red kittens are considered the most rare. These pets are more like the nature of dogs. They quickly become attached to their masters, and also eventually become very loyal to them. However, they choose only one owner, while others are simply ignored by family members.

Therefore, most of these animals need to take only lonely people. In this case, the cats will be happy to meet them from work and accompany them to it.

Norwegian

Cats with tassels on their ears remind me a little of small lynx. But if they also have red hair, they will become very valuable for breeders. Color on the nature of these animals does not affect. They are all playful, tender and gentle.

Cats love not only adult owners, but also toddlers, if they are in the family. Even when kids pull them by the tail or ears, they will not show any aggression. In addition, they can help pass the time too lonely people.

Bobtails

These animals have an unusual tail structure, which is very similar to the hare. Outwardly, they resemble a trot, so they are pretty jumping and love to hunt.. Despite the rather large weight of animals, they are distinguished by their grace.

Character can not be determined with precision, as each cat is completely individual.

Keep pets is best in those homes where they can freely get out on the street.

Abyssinian

The fur hue of such red beauties is most often sandy, however, sometimes you can find stripes that are along the entire spine. Also come across and completely fiery Abyssinians.

Their character is more doggy. They do not like to sit on their hands, but still they go everywhere for their masters. Almost all the time, small pets are silent, and when they hear their thin voice, it is more like the sound of a bell.

Somalia

Such cats can be found in different countries.Their color is most often wild, that is, red-brown and sorrel. Be sure to go along the entire spinal band is a little darker from the usual shade. The paws and chest of cats are painted in a red-apricot color. If there are any white spots on the fur, then such cats will not be allowed to participate in exhibitions.

These animals are very curious and love to play a lot. They are not afraid of noisy parties, so they are suitable for families who either have small children, or often organize parties. Pets quickly get used to the new environment, and are also easily trained.

Curly

If we talk about animals with curly or wavy hair, then they are allowed almost all shades of red, which are combined with orange eyes. Devon rexes and cornish rexes can be attributed to such breeds. They all share a curly hair, but apparently they are completely different from each other.

If we talk about the Cornish, then it is graceful and graceful animals, but the Devon Rex are more similar to teddy bears. Both those and others are very devoted to their owners, and get along well with other pets living in the house.

How to care?

Care for cats of different breeds is almost the same. Everyone needs to be given not only love and affection, but also to provide the right food and hygienic procedures.

First of all, the cat must be taught from the first days to the toilet. In addition, as often as possible, you should change the filler in it, so that the unpleasant smell does not spread throughout the apartment. It is also recommended to trim the claws once a month. This should be done very carefully so as not to damage the vessels. If there is a kogtetochka, trim the claws is optional.

    It is very important to monitor the fur of your pets - it should be regularly combed out. For short-haired cat breeds, it is enough to do it once a week, but those who have it long will have to be trained in daily care. Combing should be brushed with blunt teeth, so as not to cause irritation to the skin.

      Many pets need to bathe. The number of such procedures depends on the breed of cats. Most often they are made 2 times in 6 months or as far as pollution. In addition, you must take care of the proper feeding of your pets. Their diet should contain such products:

      • sea ​​boiled fish;
      • boiled chicken or beef meat;
      • any cereal porridge;
      • boiled vegetables, such as red beets or peppers;
      • some greens;
      • boiled yolks.

      Superstitions and Signs

        There are many different signs and legends associated with red animals. Should I believe them, everyone decides for himself. Many claim that the reason for the appearance of all the stories was the color of cats. Sunny color always personified warmth and happiness. Well, animals with this color in the house only confirmed this with their behavior.

        The owners began to notice that they bring joy and warmth in the relationship to the house, taking away all the sadness and sorrow of the person. Their healing ability was also noticed.

        If the cat rubs against the owner's feet, it thus shares its warmth with the person. Therefore, the animal should not be repelled. Very often this happens when a person comes home from work, and animals, therefore, simply cleanse them of the negative energy accumulated during the day. If the cat's nose has become too hot at the same time, it means that a lot of negative things have accumulated.

        But if the red cat greets the guests with a raised fur or a loud hiss, it will only signify that the person standing on the threshold is angry or has an unkind eye. In the same way, the cat reacts to the infidelity of the second half of its owner. So he shows his master the unworthiness of a husband or wife.

        If, before leaving the house, the cat nervously walks in front of the door, as if warning of danger, then it is best not to go anywhere, but stay at home. Indeed, in this case, something irreparable can happen. It is also very often possible to see how the redfish sits and sorts through with its front paws. Thus he drives out evil forces from home.. In any case, it is believed that the appearance of a handsome redhead in the house will only benefit the whole family.

        Summarizing, we can say that red cats can relate to any of the breeds. However, this does not affect their character at all. Most often these are kind and gentle animals, which also protect their masters from various misfortunes.
