Some people refer to Welsh cats as long-haired Manx cats, while others call them long-haired Manx cats. From their aliases, we can know that they are a long-haired cat, and although they have a long coat, they are relatively not difficult to take care of. In addition, they have an extremely significant feature - no tail. Therefore, the Welsh cat immediately attracted people's attention as soon as it appeared.
Regarding the origin of the Welsh cat, the general theory is as follows: In the 1960s, the short-haired Manx cats in Canada gave birth to long-haired kittens, which are long-haired variants of the Manx cats. The Welsh cat was gradually formed after pure breeding. Because the origin of the Manx cats is located on the Irish Sea Island between Ireland and Wales, these cousins of the Manx cats were named Cymric.
Welsh cats have a variety of coat colors, except for chocolate, mauve cats and Himalayan type cats, all colors of Welsh cats will be recognized as long as the eye color and coat color match.
Welsh cats are rare in China and many people are not even aware of the existence of such a cat, so to own a Welsh cat, you may need to get it through other channels. The current trading price of Welsh cats in China is not known. Because of its tailless nature, the Welsh cat can stand out among many other cats, but you may not know that not all Welsh cats are tailless, some Welsh cats have tails as well. Currently Welsh cats can be divided into three types according to their tails: the tailless Welsh cat, the stump-tailed Welsh cat and the short-tailed Welsh cat. The tailless Welsh cat, as the name implies, has no tail; the stump-tailed Welsh cat has only a little tail vertebrae at the tail; and the short-tailed Welsh cat has a tail, but they have a shorter tail compared to other cats. Welsh cats are long-haired cats, and their coats are divided into an upper coat and an inner fleece. Welsh cats have a thicker inner coat, while the upper coat is softer and shiny. Although they are long-haired cats, their coats are not as difficult to take care of as you might think. Combing their coats once a day in the morning and evening, paying attention to the nutrition of their diet, and using conditioner can make their coats more soft and healthy. Welsh cats are a kind of cats suitable for domestic use, they have a good temperament and are very affectionate to people, whether they are owners or strangers, they will be more willing to accept socialization, as long as they tease them a little, they will come to a gentle response with you. However, if you only play the same game with the cat for a long time, then the cat will feel bored and turn away.
In addition to getting along well with people, Welsh cats can also coexist peacefully with other animals. We need to remind owners of the following two points: 1. Do not let Welsh cats share food or water bowls with other cats or dogs; 2. If you have more than one cat, be sure to prepare more than one litter box. In addition, animals also have their own way of communication, for example, when they want to determine who is the "leader" of the territory, there may be some arguments, the owner can let them solve the problem themselves. If the animals fight with each other may cause injury, the owner will have to intervene.
If there are children at home, the owner does not have to worry that the cats will hurt the children, because they are also very gentle with children. Provided of course that the children do not act towards the cats in a way that makes them feel that their lives are in danger. Although Welsh cats are suitable for home ownership, they are not "at the mercy of others" like Ragdolls. If you keep holding them until they get bored, they will push you away, and if they are not interested in your call, they may find other things to do alone that will interest them more.
Very smart, so they are also easy to train cats, in the training of cats when the owner to pinpoint the length of training time, too short training can not let the cat understand what they are doing, and too long training will make the cat bored. Of course, even the most intelligent cats, in order for them to really master a skill, the owner has to keep repeating the training.
