You can contact a breeder through professional registers of your local veterinary surgery. You will need to discuss breed standards to ensure that any resulting kittens measure up and will therefore find good homes. You will also need to talk about the fee structure, and then arrange to have your queen mated. An alternative for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a recessive gene influence in white-long and short-haired cats that leads to inherited deafness &#8211; but not always. Experts commonly suggest that deafness in white cats is indicated by those with blue or odd-coloured eyes.

		<description><![CDATA[We possess the same binocular vision as cats. However, our eyes are placed laterally parallel on our oblong-shaped face, giving us a slightly reduced fixed field of vision when compared to that of cats. The eyes of a cat are placed marginally to either side of its narrow face. Our overlapping vision covers roughly 210 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Yes, a cat has a rather unique skeleton. Not only does it have more vertebrae in its backbone than a human, but this defining physiology also continues into the tail to create an extended backbone structure.
A cat&#8217;s spine is made up of 30 vertebrae, excluding the 14-28 (depending on the breed) in the tail. These [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cats do not see exactly in &#8216;full colour&#8217;. Although cats would appear to see the world almost in an overlapping binocular &#8216;night vision&#8217; of greys, whites and blacks (when darkness falls, they need acute visual abilities), tests suggest that they can gradually discriminate between colours. Cats combine all their senses to &#8216;feel&#8217; their way around, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The abrasive surface of a cat&#8217;s tongue is covered with many tiny, hooked &#8216;papillae&#8217; &#8211; almost like miniature teeth. These hooks have a dual purpose, enabling the cat to clean off any flesh from the bones of prey as well as enhancing grooming.

		<description><![CDATA[There is a basic language to be found in a cat&#8217;s tail. A cat uses its tail primarily to aid balance during movement, but a secondary use is to communicate its intention to other cats:

A tail that is lowered suggests that the cat is calm or submissive.
A tail that is fully raised suggests that the [...]]]></description>
