Abstract

Persians and Himalayans
This paper will explore the differences between Persian and Himalayans cats with the respect to the color and different healthcare and where they originate from.
These cats are alike in many ways, Himalayans are Persians and some are not Himalayans are essentially a cross between a Persian and a Siamese, but among the Persian they have striking marks as Himalayan. Himalayans trademarks this colors which this makes the cat stand out this is just some of the colors it may have red cream tortie, seal, lilac or even chocolate blue cream but the most popular color is blue. Persians color prints are not that colorful and they are not well defined that’s why people can’t tell the difference between these breeds of cats.
Where these cats orientated from are two beautiful places. The Himalayans origin is the United States also it carries the nick name “Himmy”. In Europe they are commonly called Colour print Persians that began in the 1950’s. Persians origin is Iranian plateau (Persia). In Britain it is also called the Longhair or Persian Longhair and the Traditional Persians cats are also known as the (Doll Face Persian) is considered as a true breed of Persian cat breed. The first Persian was presented at a cat show at the Crystal Palace in London, England in 1871. The first breed standards (then known as points of excellence) was issued in 1889 by Harrison Weir, the creator of the first cat show. Persians differ from any other cat breed.
Also these cats have some healthcare things that need to be known before you own one. In the Persian ancestor some carry the gene that causes Polycystic Kidney Disease also known as (PKD). Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) which causes kidney failure in affected adult cats has an incidence rate of 36-49 % in the Persian breed. Cysts develop and grow in the kidney overtime, replacing kidney tissues and enlarging the kidney.

    “Comparison is the death of joy”- Mark Twain. When you compare two things, for instance animals, you began to compare and contrast them which loses the value of each individual because they both have the potential to do anything the other is being known for being capable to do. Although German shepherd and Persian cats are both well liked pets, they have tremendously dissimilar qualities that require their owners to handle with them in many incompatible ways. There is a large number of similarities that Germans shepherds and Persian cats share, but at the same time they are very unlike. Both animals are very popular pet in America today and are also very popular pet all around the world as…

    Feral Hogs

    • 1305 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Sus scrofa, commonly known as feral hogs, have been present in North America region since the arrival of the earliest settlers in the sixteenth century (Ditchkoff and West 2007). Colonist’s originally released feral hogs because of the high adaptability of this species to their surrounding habitat and ability to survive thus being a ready food supply for settlers. Due to their high adaptability to new habitat, this solution species for the survival of settlers has now become a problematic species within the ecosystem today. Feral hogs currently occur in 40 of the 50 states, can strongly influence ecosystem processes, and often directly or indirectly affect native flora and fauna, as well as crops and soil (Mayer and Brisbin 1991, Ditchkoff and West 2007, Kaller et al. 2007, Hartin et al. 2007). Due to the strong and often negative effects feral hogs have on natural systems, as well as economically valued commodities, managers are often tasked with developing and implementing control programs for this species (Engeman et al. 2007, Rollings et al. 2007).…

    Aspartame

    • 1333 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Aspartame has been proven to be 160 to 220 times sweeter then real sugar This synthetic chemical is commonly known as NutraSweet or Equal. Over half of the U.S. population currently consumes it. Aspartame came onto the market in 1981, and has accounted for more then half of all the complaints that the FDA receives each year. Aspartame was accidentally discovered in 1965 by a chemist trying to develop an ulcer drug. The FDA earlier then 1981 did not approve it because it had been tested with animals that eventually contracted brain tumors and had seizures. Eventually the FDA caved into the political and money making scheme. Since it's release it has been supported by few and condoned by many. "The dangers of aspartame include headache, dizziness, poor equilibrium, confusion, impaired or double vision, convulsions, ringing in the ears, slurred speech, tremors, extreme fatigue, motor and sensory disturbances affecting the limbs, and other neuropsychiatry complaints" (Blaylock 4). The most common ways to be exposed to Aspartame are through "diet" soft drinks, tabletop sweeteners, and sugar-free gums. Unfortunately, another tragic problem has been neglected: addiction to aspartame products. When people realize that aspartame might be hurting them they try to stop and they then suffer from with-drawl affects. The FDA to this day still supports its decision to keep making aspartame and continues to do so. While researching this topic I found it very hard to find any concrete evidence that aspartame is harmful to your health. I found several internet articles that were against the sale and use of aspartame. I also found books at the library that gave scientific proof that aspartame was not safe to eat. Granted that there are two sides to every story, I will give evidence from both sides of the spectrum. In this project, this paper will examine both sides of the aspartame issue. Then the paper will discuss why the FDA should take Aspartame out the…

    Feral Cats in Australia

    • 657 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Domestic cats originated from an ancestral wild species, the European and African Wild Cat, Felis silvestris. The domestic cat is now recognised as a separate species, Felis catus. Domestic cats arrived in Australia with the Dutch shipwrecks in the 17th century; some of these cats escaped and formed the first generation of the feral cat. During the 19th century cats were intentionally released as a misguided form of rabbit pest control. The feral cat turned into an ecological disaster and has driven many of Australia 's native animals to endangerment or extinction. With a rapid reproduction rate, it is now estimated that there are over 12 million feral cats in Australia, inhabiting all states, territories and offshore islands.…

    The clouded leopard does not roar like other big cats, nor does it groom or rest like small cats. The cheetah is unique because it is a running cat; all others are leaping cats. They are leaping cats because they slowly stalk their prey and then leap on it. (http://facts.randomhistory.com/interesting-facts-about-cats.html)…

    Cats vs Dogs

    One of the biggest differences between cats and dogs is the care and management. Dogs require more supervision and there are not as many options for care if you need to leave your pet while on a trip. In contrast to the fact that cats can be left alone for longer periods of time, and it’s easier to find someone to cat sit if you need to travel. Plus if you need to take your pet with you on a trip it’s always easier to accommodate for a cat that will fit in a small carrier, unlike a big dog that you would not be able to carry in your hand.…
