When
You bring your new kitten home we suggest that you place the kitten in its'
litter box and then let it explore the house from there. You should consider
keeping the kitten confined to one room when you are not
present. Do this for a week or so or until you are comfortable that
you have bonded well with the kitten and it is comfortable with you as it's
new buddy. Some kittens chum right up to new owners and situations
while others take longer to warm up to their new environment. Hold and
cuddle your new kitten often the first few weeks. Once your little
kitten is purring and sooo happy to see you whenever you appear, you can
consider it adjusted to the move from our home to yours. Kittens love
to chase things, like cat toys, wads of paper, or any moving object.
It doesn't take much to keep your kitten happy, a lot of love, good food,
clean water, a safe environment and good health care. |

| A little more
about the American Shorthair Cat
The American Shorthair is well known for its
general good health and good disposition. American Shorthairs are
basically low-maintenance cats. Males are larger than females,
weighing 11 to 15 pounds when fully mature. Females weigh 8 to 12
pounds when they fully mature (at 3 to 4 years of age). American
Shorthairs can live as long as fifteen to twenty plus years if living indoors and given
proper health care.
The American Shorthair comes in more than 80 different colors & patterns
ranging from black to white, and a variety
of colors between. We raise the Classic silver tabby, which has black
markings set on a silver background, (the typical bulls eye pattern seen on
the side of the cat).
The American Shorthair consistently ranks as
one of the ten most popular breeds of cat.
The American Shorthair was developed in America. It is thought that its'
ancestors came to North America from Europe.
It is possible that the "Mayflower" carried several shorthair type cats to
hunt the ship's vermin. For hundreds of years, these
"working cats" lived with their owners on farms and rural areas and
eventually established themselves as the native North American Domestic
shorthaired cat.
Early in the 1900's those persons who deeply appreciated all the values of
the North American Domestic cat carefully collected
the best examples of the cat and began to raise them as a breed keeping the
original good health and stature and temperament in mind, being careful not to
infuse the new longhaired and other breeds that were being imported from
Europe at the time. The Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) officially
recognized The American Shorthair
as one of its first five registered breeds in 1906.
Originally known as the Domestic Shorthair, the breed was renamed "American
Shorthair" in 1966 to differentiate it from any other shorthaired breed. The
name "American Shorthair" also reinforces the idea that our native North
American shorthaired cat is distinctly different from cats that may be found
in the streets, neighborhoods and barnyards (which are often crosses of many
different breeds of cats). |
