Bambino Cats 101 : Fun Facts & Myths
In today's video, we are going to talk about some interesting facts and myths about the Bambino Cat.
The Bambino is a controversial experimental new cat breed that is a cross between a hairless Sphynx and the short-legged Munchkin. The breed is so new that not too much is known about them as yet, but their development has been courted by a lot of controversies.
Fans of these felines love them for their playful, energetic, and affectionate personalities.
You may find these cats in shelters and breed-specific rescues, so remember to always adopt! Don’t shop if you’re looking to add one of these kitties to your home!
The Bambino is a miniature cat, a type of feline sometimes called a dwarf breed. But despite their small size, this is one social and outgoing cat. In fact, you’ll need to be able to lavish them with attention and playtime if you’re going to get the best out of the breed. Naturally, due to the cat’s playful nature, they’re great living in a house with kids.
Here are some of the interesting facts about the Bambino Cat, which will give you some further insight into its characteristics and temperament.
1. Bambino Cat's History.
The first litter of Bambino kittens was officially registered in 2005 after Stephanie and Pat Osborne bred the hairless Sphynx with the short-legged Munchkin. The cat's name translates to "baby" in Italian, which pays homage to their small and kittenish size. As a comparatively new mixed cat breed, the Bambino's history is still being established.
The Bambino was officially acknowledged as an experimental new breed by the International Cat Association in 2006.
2. Bambino Cat's Personality.
When it comes to summing up the Bambino's personality, the first thing you'll want to take note of is just how playful and even a little mischievous the mixed breed is. This is a cat who will happily spend as much time as possible playing with toys and exploring every nook and cranny of their environment.
It's advised to make sure your home is big enough to satisfy the cat's playful instincts. Interactive toys should be left out and rotated on a regular basis, while at least one cat tree will be required to add variety to play sessions.
Balancing out the Bambino's personality, the mixed breed's playful side is complimented by their affectionate nature. This is a kitty who very easily forms bonds with the humans in their lives, and loves to follow up a frantic playtime with a calm and leisurely snuggle session on the couch or bed.
3. Bambino Cat's Attributes.
As you have probably already guessed, a Bambino cat’s most distinctive features are its short stature and hairless body. Although, it is worth mentioning that many hairless cats are indeed not completely bald. Instead, these kitties actually have very short, peach fuzz-like hair that covers their body. To the touch, this fuzz oftentimes feels like suede.
Due to the fact that these cats are seemingly hairless, people often ask, “Are Bambino cats hypoallergenic?” Contrary to what many may believe, even when “hairless,” Bambinos is not a hypoallergenic cat. However, Bambinos produce less dander than hairier cat breeds, which means that some individuals with mild cat allergies can tolerate being around these felines.
These wrinkly cats are rather small and, on average, weigh between five to nine pounds. That being said, it’s not unusual for some to weigh more or less than the average. The typical lifespan for this breed is anywhere from 9-15 years.
4. Bambino Cat's Common Health Issues.
When a health issue does arise in a Bambino, it oftentimes is a condition that has been passed down from the Sphynx or Munchkins cat. The top conditions that are prevalent among this mixed breed are,
Skin conditions.
With a lack of hair and overly oily skin, most hairless cat breeds have an increased chance of developing bacterial skin conditions or infections.
Lordosis.
This is a condition that can occur in any cat, but it has been shown to be more prevalent in the short-legged Munchkin. It involves the spine excessively curving inwards, and this puts pressure on some of the vital organs. It can be fatal in some cases.
Pectus Excavatum.
This is another condition that has been shown to be more prevalent in Munchkins, and it is where the breastbone caves in. Cats with this problem can have a guarded prognosis as it can severely impact their quality of life. It can cause a variety of issues including respiratory problems, loss of appetite, and weight loss.
That being said, there is much evidence that the common health problems of both the Sphynx and Munchkin have been inherited.

Russian Blue Cats 101 : Fun Facts & Myths
In today's video, we are going to talk about some interesting facts and myths about the Russian Blue Cat.
The Russian Blue’s elegant yet muscular body led one cat judge to proclaim him the “Doberman Pinscher of cats.”
Here are some of the interesting facts about the Russian Blue Cat, which will give you some further insight into its characteristics and temperament.
1. Russian Blue’s Origin.
The Russian Blue’s ancestral roots are lost in time. Some people speculate that they’re descended from the pet cats of Russian czars, but there’s probably more truth to the claim that the breed originated in northwest Russia. According to legend, the gray kitties lived in the wilderness and were prized, and sadly hunted for their dense, warm fur. Today, it’s said that gray cats resembling the Russian Blue still live in the country's coldest regions.
It’s believed that sailors brought the Russian from the port city of Arkhangelsk, which sits on the Northern Dvina River in the northwestern part of the country, to Great Britain and Northern Europe in 18 60. The city was one of the most important ports in the Russian Empire. Its name means Archangel in English, which may explain why the Russian Blue was once known as the Archangel Blue.
2. Russian Blue’s Personality.
The Russian Blue has a reputation as a gentle, quiet cat, somewhat shy, but don’t get the wrong idea. This cat may have a reserved nature, but he loves to play being especially fond of retrieving, and enjoys jumping or climbing to high places, where he can study people and situations at his leisure, before making up his mind about whether he wants to get involved. Guests will not receive his immediate attention and may never see him unless he decides they are worthy of his notice, but toward family members, especially his favored person, he is ever loyal, following them through the house and even riding on a shoulder.
The Russian Blue is a sensitive cat who doesn’t like to be ignored and will be hurt if he doesn’t receive the same amount of affection he gives. Lack of attention can cause him to become anxious or fearful. While the Russian Blue loves your company, he is capable of entertaining himself during the day while you are at work. Unlike some active, intelligent breeds, he is not destructive but moves through the house with the lithe grace of a Russian ballerina. When you are at home, his subtle sense of humor and manual dexterity will never fail to entertain. Just make sure you laugh with him, not at him. He has a strong sense of self-worth and doesn’t like being made fun of.
This is a cat who does best in a quiet, stable environment. He doesn’t like change, and it’s especially important to him that meals arrive on time. Count on him to be a faithful alarm clock in the morning, not so you don’t miss work but so he doesn’t miss a meal. If you take the time to develop a relationship with a Russian Blue, your reward will be a deep bond with this loving cat.
3. Russian Blue’s Physical Characteristics.
The Russian Blue’s elegant yet muscular body led one cat judge to proclaim him the “Doberman Pinscher of cats.” He has what’s called a semi-foreign body type, meaning it is moderate in shape, falling somewhere between the short, compact body of breeds such as Persians and the sleek angles of Oriental breeds such as the Siamese. The broad wedge of the head and its flat skull are often described as cobra-like, although that is much too dangerous a description for this sweet-natured cat. Regal is perhaps a better term.
A long, slender neck segues into high shoulder blades and a fine-boned body that is firm and muscular, covered with a short, thick double coat with a plush texture, often described as similar to that of a seal or beaver. If you were to run your fingers through a Russian Blue’s coat, the patterns they made would remain until they were petted smooth. The body is supported by long, fine-boned legs set on small, slightly rounded paws with pads that are a pinky lavender or mauve shade. The tail is long but in proportion to the body.

Korat Cats 101 : Fun Facts & Myths
In today's video, we are going to talk about some interesting facts and myths about the Korat Cat.
As per the literature from Thailand’s Ayutthaya period, Korat cats have been described as:
"The hair is smooth with roots like clouds and tips like silver;
The eyes shine like dewdrops on a lotus leaf."
The Korat is a natural breed of cat. It is also one of the oldest cat breeds. The cat hails from Ampur Pimai in the Korat province of Thailand. It is named after a province named "Korat" by the local people.
Korat breed has its own unique history and characteristics that make them special. Many believe that these cats can charm their way into a cat hater’s heart. They are beloved of so many people that they were and are still considered to be harbingers of good luck, prosperity, and fertility.
Their distinct coat, vocalization, intelligence, ability to learn tricks, and the habit of following humans just like a dog has made them unique in their own kind.
Here are some interesting facts about Korat Cat.
1. Korat Cat's Appearance.
The Korat's color is actually a silver-blue with a small to medium stocky or "cobby" body that looks like it is shimmering. The people of Thailand call the color "rain-cloud gray," and the shimmer "sea foam." It can be surprisingly heavy for its size. It is intelligent, active, playful, and likes to be with people.
This cat has one coat of fur that is short. The roots of the fur are a lighter silver blue. The sweet face of the Korat cat is heart-shaped, with a thin chin and a broad, flat forehead in which arched eyebrows stand out, so the whole has such a characteristic shape. The color along the fur increases to a deeper blue and the tips are silver, especially on the muzzle and toes. This is the only color allowed for a Korat. The eyes are large and peridot green in an adult cat. Kittens have amber or golden-green eyes which gradually change as they become adults, at two to four years.
Korats may rarely have some white markings or spots, or even pale gray stripes. Sometimes these spots increase in size as the cat gets older. These are flaws in the color, and these cats are not allowed in cat shows. Even though the color is wrong, they are still healthy cats.
2. Korat Cat's History.
The first time the Korat breed was written about in books was in a poem written in Thailand, between 1350 and 1767. The book is now in the national library in Bangkok. But the drawing of the Korat in this book did not have enough detail to positively say it is this breed. In more recent years, the Korat was pictured on a postage stamp in Thailand.
A Korat cat first appeared in Britain with the name "Blue Siamese" in 1889 and 1896. But these solid blue cats did not meet the cat show standards for a Siamese cat, so they disappeared by 19 01.
In the United States, a Korat first appeared in the 1950s. In 1959, Cedar Glen cattery was the first to import a pair of Korats to the U.S. for breeding. They were a male named Nara, and a female named Darra. This pair was then bred and later introduced to a few self-blue Siamese to avoid inbreeding to increase their number. This laid the foundation for the first American line of Korats. More Korats were imported to the U.S. in the following years. In 19 66, the Korat was first allowed to be shown for championship status, by a breeder from Maryland.
3. Korat Cat's Temperament.
The Korat is known for it’s affectionate and dominant nature. This cat craves attention and will require an owner that can dedicate the time for attention that they warrant. Not wanting to be alone for long periods, the Korat is notably a curious breed that likes to be engaged in whatever their owner is doing. Prospective owners should take this into consideration when looking at what cat breed may fit in with their family.
4. Korat Cat's Personality.
Korats are smart and highly opinionated cats, who like to be in charge. These cats prefer to be the ruler of the house, but they get along well along with dogs and children if their authority isn't questioned. Korats love to be around humans, and they can be quite possessive. They don't like being alone, so they'll do best with the companionship of humans or other pets.
These are energetic cats that love to play and exercise. However, although they love toys, they're not great at sharing, so make sure to have plenty of toys to go around. Korats are also highly intelligent. They love to learn and solve puzzles, so tricks or puzzle toys make a great way to keep them occupied.

Balinese Cats 101: Fun Facts & Myths
In today's video, we are going to talk about some interesting facts and myths about the Balinese Cat.
A lively cat, the Balinese is also loving and will sit quietly with her parent, purring, and being petted.
Named for the exotically graceful dancers on the Indonesian island of Bali, the Balinese is a longhaired variety of Siamese.
Balinese and Siamese cat breeds are very much alike, except for the cat’s fur length. The cat is called long-haired Siamese not in vain.
Balinese cats are playful, curious, and constantly up to something. At the same time, they’re loving, loyal, and sensitive.
Here are a few interesting facts about Balinese Cat, which will give you some further insight into its characteristics and temperament.
1. Balinese Cat's History.
Balinese cats originated from short-haired Siamese cats when long-haired kittens started to appear in their purebred offspring at the beginning of the 1930s.
The first officially registered long-haired kitten was born in a Siamese cat couple in 1928 in the USA. Such incidents happened quite regularly, but the breeders tried to keep this out of the public eye, and long-haired kids of their short-haired parents didn’t take part in cat shows.
The natural mutation has attracted the breeder's attention and they’ve started to cross mate such cats, earlier condemned as defective, with each other. This work was started by Helen Smith from New York and Marion Dorcy from California, who developed a selective breeding methodology.
In the relatively short term, the scientists achieved obtaining of pure line long-haired Siamese cats. The breed was first acknowledged in 19 63 and it was called the “long-haired Siamese” breed.
2. Balinese Cat's Coat.
The Balinese has a long hair coat that is described as soft and silky to the touch. Their coloring is colorpoint like the Siamese, which means a cream-colored body with another color on the feet, tail, and face. Their colorpoint varieties are blue, chocolate, cinnamon, cream, fawn, lilac, lynx, red, seal, smoke, tabby, and tortoiseshell. Despite their long hair, they are a low maintenance cat and are low shedders. The modern Balinese does not possess an undercoat so they only need a few weekly combings to keep their hair healthy. The original version has an undercoat and much thicker fur. Like all cats, they also need regular nail trimming, ear cleaning, and dental care. Their fur is sensitive to the cold and may turn darker if exposed to drafts.
3. Balinese Cat's Personality.
The Siamese and the Balinese might differ in coat length, but beneath the skin they are identical. Balinese are extremely fond of their people. They like to be “helpful” and will follow you around and supervise your every move. When you are sitting down, a Balinese will be in your lap, and at night he will be in bed with you, probably under the covers with his head on the pillow.
A Balinese is perhaps not quite as loud as his relative the Siamese, but he is most definitely just as opinionated. He will tell you exactly what he thinks, and he expects you to pay attention and act on his advice. You can also count on him to “tell-all” to visitors, so be grateful that most people are not conversant in the Balinese language.
The Balinese is highly intelligent, agile, and athletic, and loves to play. Keep his busy brain active with puzzle toys and his body exercised with teaser toys that he can chase and a big cat tree he can climb. He likes to play fetch, willing to walk on a leash and learns tricks easily. He is also a good trainer himself and maybe running your household before you know it. Never leave him without any form of entertainment, or you will likely come home to find that he has reprogrammed your D V R to record only nature shows or at the very least decided that your toilet paper rolls and tissue boxes look better empty.
4. Balinese Cats are not Hypoallergenic.
There are actually no cat breeds that are hypoallergenic, despite claims to the contrary. The Balinese produce the same type of dander as all cat breeds which causes human allergies. They may be a good option for mild allergy sufferers who still want a cat as they shed less than many other breeds.
