Over the years, some of the web’s biggest bloggers have blogged about cats (NYT free registration required). (I first learned about these cat-celebrating posts from Instapundit.com.) Called catblogging, they features photos of cats, in tribute to felines.
These tributes are only natural: the greatest Americans have liked cats: Lincoln and Twainamong them.
The Cat Fanciers’ Association of America recognizes about forty breeds of domestic cats, but all cats, single or mixed-breed, are admirable.
Cats have an independent spirit that’s a fine reminder of the individualism which Americans — at their best — so abundantly possess.
Today, I’ve posted a photo of a HYMALAYAN, a recognized CFA breed. More information on himalayans is available online:
The Himalayan cats are breed of long-haired cats identical in type to the Persian, with the exception of it blue eyes and it point coloration, which were derived from the crossing of the Persian with the Siamese. In Europe they are referred to as Colourpoint Persians or Colourpoint Longhairs.
While the Himalayan is considered a breed separate from the Persian by The International Cat Association, it is grouped together with the Persian and Exotic Shorthair (shorthaired version of the Persian) under a “Persian Breed Group standard”.[1] The Cat Fanciers’ Association considers the Himalayan a color variation of the Persian rather than as a separate breed, although they do compete in their own color division.
