Ginger cats: how do they behave and what are they like?

Cats have long conquered most people not only by their appearance, but also by their affectionate nature. However, red-haired beauties deserve special popularity among them. And this is not in vain, because many legends and signs are associated with them.

Real ginger cats are a rare beauty. Few people know that there are much fewer red-colored cats in nature than cats. But this is all true for pure red pussies. Meanwhile, they can be multi-colored or even striped. Also, red stripes or specks can be combined with black or white flowers. Stripes and spots can be both barely noticeable and very bright.

The solid red color mainly belongs to males, in addition, they are usually purebred cats. This phenomenon is caused by some genetic characteristics of animals. However, this color also has some specificity: it is the marbling of the shade and the often found stripes. This dilution of shades led to the emergence of a new color, which became known as "coffee with milk".

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

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

It is almost impossible to describe such pets in a few words. After all, a ginger kitten can be both affectionate and gentle, like a dandelion, and as fast as a fiery tornado. Their behavior is so unpredictable that the owner will not cease to be amazed at the new manifestations of character. Especially the cat attracts attention when he is still small. At this time, the 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 to their little owners, and they, in turn, are drawn to them.

You can meet this color in both purebred and completely outbred cats. Gingerbreads can be fluffy or short-haired.

Such animals have a rather playful and cheerful disposition. Cats with a "fox" coat quickly become attached to their owners, in contrast to relatives of the same breed, but with a different color.

Small kittens have a muscular body and a long snub nose. They have a very soft and long coat. Red-haired Persians are pretty calm. If we talk about their standards, then the red color does not affect the marks at the exhibitions at all. They can be disqualified if the animals have small spots on the nose or lips. However, only those cats with a uniform color receive the highest points.

The diet of fiery beauties must include foods such as oatmeal, sea fish, as well as various vitamins. Before the exhibition, many bathe their pets in onion husks to make their fur richer and brighter.

Such a breed of animals was bred quite recently, therefore, 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, Maine Coons are quite difficult to train. The weight of such beauties may in some cases even exceed the weight of the dog. It reaches 14-16 kilograms. Their color is lilac, and chocolate, and, of course, red.

These animals are considered one of the most ancient cat breeds. They are calm and proud, which is what the British are supposed to be. If red babies appear in a litter, then they immediately become popular, and they are one of the first to be taken away.

However, pure red cats are rarely born. Most often they are smooth-haired.... But according to the standards, their color must necessarily be monochromatic and very rich. Nevertheless, small spots on the head or paws will not become an obstacle to participation in the exhibition.

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

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

Their fur can be colored in different shades, but white and red kittens are considered the rarest. Such pets are more like dogs in character. They quickly become attached to their masters, and also become very loyal to them over time. However, they choose only one owner, while other family members are simply ignored.

Cats with tassels on their ears a bit resemble small lynxes in their appearance. But if they also have a red coat, then they will become very valuable for breeders. Color does not affect the character of such animals at all. They are all playful, affectionate and gentle.

Cats love not only adult owners, but also babies, if they are in the family. Even when babies pull their tail or ears, they will not show any aggression. In addition, they are able to help pass the time too lonely people.

These animals are distinguished by an unusual tail structure, which is very similar to that of a hare. Outwardly, they are similar to a lynx, so they are quite jumpy and like to hunt.... Despite the rather large weight of animals, they are distinguished by grace.

The character cannot be determined with precision, since each cat is completely individual.

The shade of the fur of such red-haired beauties is most often sandy, however, sometimes you can find stripes that are located along the entire spine. There are also completely fiery Abyssinians.

Their character is more doggy. They do not like to sit on their hands, but nevertheless they follow their masters everywhere. Almost all the time, little pets are silent, and when their thin voice is heard, it looks more like a bell ringing.

These cats can be found in different countries. Their color is most often wild, that is, reddish-brown and sorrel. Be sure to run along the entire spine a strip slightly darker than the usual shade. Feet and chest of cats are colored in a reddish-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 like to play a lot. They are not afraid of noisy parties, so they are suitable for families who either have small children or who often host parties. Pets quickly get used to the new environment, and are also easy to train.

If we talk about animals with curly or wavy hair, then almost all shades of red are allowed in them, which are combined with orange eyes. These breeds include both Devon Rex and Cornish Rex. They are all united by curly fur, however, outwardly they are completely different from each other.

Caring for cats of different breeds is almost the same. Everyone should be given not only love and affection, but also to provide proper food and hygiene procedures.

First of all, the cat must be toilet trained from the first days. In addition, the filler in it should be changed as often as possible so that the unpleasant smell does not spread throughout the apartment. It is also recommended to trim the claws of the pets once a month. This must be done very carefully so as not to damage the vessels. If you have a scratching post, you do not need to trim your nails.

It is very important to monitor the fur of your pets - it must be combed out regularly. For short-haired cat breeds, it is enough to do this once a week, but those who have it long will have to be accustomed to daily grooming. Brush with a dull-toothed brush so as not to irritate the skin.

Many pets will need to be bathed. The number of such procedures depends on the breed of cats. Most often they are made 2 times every 6 months or as they become dirty.In addition, you must definitely take care of the proper feeding of your pets. Their diet should contain the following foods:

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

Many different signs and legends are associated with red animals. Whether it is worth believing them, everyone decides for himself. Many argue that the color of the cats was the reason for all the stories. The sunny color has 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 a relationship to the house, taking away all the sadness and sorrow of a person. Their ability to heal was also noticed.

In addition, if you believe the signs, then red fluffies contribute to the prosperity and wealth of the house where they live. Of course, such signs are very controversial, but the fact of a person's rapid advancement in career growth has been noticed more than once. This also improves the well-being in the home. Superstitions say that red cats do not like moving at all, since brownies live in them. If they run away from home, they will take with them all the well-being of the owners.

If the cat rubs against the owner's legs, it thus shares its warmth with the person. Therefore, you should not push the animal away. Very often this happens when a person comes home from work, and the animals, thus, simply cleanse them of the negative energy accumulated during the day. If the cat's nose at the same time became too hot, this means that a lot of negativity has just accumulated.

But if a ginger cat greets guests with a reared fur or a loud hiss, this will only signify that an evil person or one with an unkind eye is standing on the threshold. In the same way, the cat reacts to the infidelity of the other half of its owner. So he shows his master the unworthiness of a husband or wife.

If, before leaving the house, the cat walks nervously in front of the door, as if warning of danger, then it is best not to go anywhere, but to stay at home. Indeed, in this case, something irreparable may happen. Also, very often you can see how the saffron milk cap sits and fiddles with its front legs. Thus, he expels evil forces from the house.... In any case, it is believed that the appearance of a handsome red-haired man in the house will only benefit the whole family.

Summing up, we can say that ginger cats can belong to any of the breeds. However, this does not affect their character at all. Most often these are kind and gentle animals, which, moreover, also protect their owners from various troubles.
