Medium Cat Breeds

Medium cat breeds are our most popular companions. Cats of these breeds should range from 10 pounds to 15 pounds but, of course, there will be exceptions.  Medium size cats make up the majority of domestic cat breeds, and most house cats fall into this range as well.  Large enough to tackle a mechanical mouse, but not too big that they can't perch comfortably atop the shoulder of someone special. But don't forget - The only way to guarantee adult size is to adopt a deserving adult cat that is already your perfect size!  Check these awesome cats out! Enjoy the journey and always remember.......Cats Rule!King Cat

Purebred Cats

Cats have been selectively bred for appearance and temperament for thousands of years no doubt starting with the first good mousers who made themselves useful in the first farmhouses. Recently all sorts of exciting varieties have been developed including several hairless breeds and some fabulous felines like the Singapura which is one of the smallest. Along with different domestic cats there are an assortment of wild cat/domestic cat crosses that add lots of spice to the mix. Exotic cats are in vogue too. Many of the varieties of cats listed here are pedigreed and recognized by the Cat Fanciers Association(CFA), the world's largest cat organization. Check them all out in our exclusive -CatStats- fact files.

Good nutrition for cats is an important part of feline care for all breeds.

Inside Cat or Outside Cat?

Wondering if you should allow your cat to go outside unsupervised? Well there are definitely some pure breeds that should never be outside cats. Hairless breeds like the Sphynx are extremely vulnerable and should always be supervised outdoors. Docile breeds like the Burmese may not be able to defend themselves. All cats allowed outdoors are exposed to diseases and parasites that they would not otherwise encounter. Fred Flintstone put his saber-tooth out every night, but the cat jumped right back in the window - and he was a saber-tooth! Still, most of us feel a little envy when we see our domestic companion out on some high perch, sniffing the breeze of liberty, and there is no doubt that cats love their freedom.
