Geocache Description:


This is my cat series, you see I like cats. I don't own one because we like to come and go as we please without worrying about any pets. My husband on the other hand likes dogs. So we agreed before we got married he couldn't have a dog and I couldn't have a cat. So don't NOBODY tell him I have several of them out and about the country side. LOL!!! They are all tether so hopefully they won't run away before you get here to find them. Nothing special here, bring your own pen. Watch the traffic, Watch your kiddo's Have fun and stay safe.

This one is large enough for small swag. 

Peterbald Cat

The Peterbald is a relatively recent hairless cat breed from St. Petersburg, Russia. The breed originated as a cross between the Donskoy and Oriental Shorthair, demonstrating that the Donskoy's hair loss gene is dominant, unlike the recessive hairlessness gene in the Spynx. Peterbald cats are elegant, long and tubular with a long, whiplike tail. They do not have a pot belly like the Sphynx. They have long legs, oval paws, large, bat-wing ears and a wedge-shaped muzzle. Personality-wise the breed is affectionate, active and athletic.

 The Peterbald breed has five main coat types:

  • Bald. Bald cats are born completely without hair and are somewhat sticky to the touch.
  • Flock. Flock cats are 90% hairless and feel like a smooth chamois leather to the touch, with no stickiness. They can be pet in either direction without resistance.
  • Velour. Velour cats are 70% hairless and will have a coat of up to 1 mm in length. There is some resistance if you brush them the wrong way.
  • Brush Coat. Brush Coat cats have a short coat with wiry hair up to 5 mm long. Brush Coated cats have only one copy of the hair loss gene. The coat feels like a felt and can be pet in either direction. This coat type is unique to the Peterbald — no other breed of cat has a brush coat.
  • Straight Coat. Straight Coat cats have a short coat with normal whiskers. They have no copies of the hair loss gene.

 

Peterbald cats are not hypoallergenic. About two-thirds of people who are allergic to cats react to allergens in the cat's saliva, not just the dander. However, the lack of fur and the need to regularly bathe Peterbald cats may reduce the intensity of the allergic reaction in some people.

The breed was accepted by TICA in 1997 and recognized for championship status in 2005. TICA accepted the brush coat variety of Peterbald for championship status in May 2008. Blue Belle is one of the first brush coat Peterbald cats to achieve championship status.
