CHOOSING AND CARING FOR A CAT. The problem of choice. Part 8.


     Certain breeds are often described as ‘gentle and withdrawn’, ‘very shy’, ‘very affectionate’, ‘requiring lots of love’ and so on, but in my view such characteristics are not necessarily associated with particular breeds, as cats tend to be highly individual and vary from one to another.
     If you have decided on a pedigree cat, then the Governing Gouncil of the Cat Fancy will supply a list of breeders of particular varieties. A good breeder will not usually part with a kitten under ten weeks old, and will already have had it inoculated against Feline Infectious Enteritis. If a certificate of inoculation is not provided with the cat you should arrange for this to be done immediately. With any new cat a veterinary check-up is always a good idea.
