Kao-mani - a snow-white cat with “diamond” eyes

Kao-mani are snow-white short-haired cats with a royal bearing and regal character. The magnetic look of their large expressive eyes has an irresistible attractive force, and their Eastern origin only fuels interest in these animals.

To understand what a Kao-Mani cat is, let’s look at the main characteristics of the breed.

Savannah

Today, the Savannah is the most expensive cat breed in the world and at the same time the largest. Her parents are:

• serval - African wild cat;
• purebred domestic cat - Siamese or Angora.

As a result of such crossing, this graceful animal appears with an elite appearance, reminiscent of a tame mini-leopard. Savannah weighs up to 14 kg and reaches a height of 60 cm. It is easy to recognize by the following characteristics:

• long legs;
• slender and elongated body;
• small elongated muzzle;
• wide rounded ears.

She has a very thick, but short and smooth coat with spotted colors. The main color can be either golden (a common color), or brown, silver or chocolate.

Savannah owners note their friendly nature, high intelligence and love of water treatments. The cat is active and inquisitive, loves to be in the fresh air. She needs space so that she can “roam” – run and jump to her heart’s content.

Savannah kittens of the F1 category are more expensive than the F2 category. F1 is the direct offspring of a serval and a domestic cat. They most closely resemble their wild ancestor. If offspring are expected from a savannah and a domestic cat, then these kittens belong to the F2 category. They have fewer serval genes, so they cost half as much.

Each time a Savannah is crossed, the next generation produces kittens that look less and less like a leopard. Individuals of the 5th generation are sterile. This explains the range in prices for the breed.

The average cost of a Savannah kitten is 695,000 rubles.

Interesting facts about the Savannah cat are given in the video below:

Care and maintenance

Caring for cats of this breed is not as difficult as it might seem. To maintain a neat appearance, kao-mani is regularly subjected to basic hygiene procedures:

1. The short coat of the Snow White Pearl does not have a thick undercoat. Therefore, it is enough to comb it once a week with a special brush. It is advisable to bathe your cat no more than once a quarter. And since representatives of the breed do not tolerate water well, you can clean their coat with dry shampoos.
2. Kao-mani's claws are shortened with a nail clipper as necessary. Only transparent ends can be removed.
3. The teeth of the “snow-white pearl” are regularly brushed with a soft brush and a small amount of non-foaming toothpaste.
4. The eyes and ears of the kao-mani are wiped several times a week with a moistened cotton pad or a piece of clean cloth.

Important! Kao-mani are domestic cats and do not need regular walks. The skin of “snow-white pearls” is very sensitive to ultraviolet radiation and is prone to sunburn.

Khao Manee

This is a cat of Asian origin, originally from Thailand. You should know the following interesting facts about it:

• The Kao-Mani breed is the oldest on the planet - the first mention of it is found in a book dating back to the 14th century. In terms of genetics, it is also considered one of the purest breeds.
• Legend has it that in the past only royal families could keep the kao-mani cat. She was a symbol of good luck, wealth and longevity.
• The name of the breed translates as “white gem”. The cat got it thanks to its snow-white thick fur coat. Although it is short, it is soft to the touch.
• Kao-mani's eyes are blue with transparent inclusions. Sometimes they are multi-colored: one must be blue, and the second must be green, amber or light brown.

Due to the incredible coloring of its eyes, this cat is also known as Diamond Eye.

• Cats are not prone to being overweight and have a muscular, toned body.
• By nature they are playful and active animals. They are curious, hardy and have a well-developed hunting instinct, which does not prevent them from getting along well with other pets.
• Kao-mani cannot live alone - they definitely need company. If a cat is left alone for a long time, its character will deteriorate - aggressiveness, nervousness, depression and inappropriate behavior will appear.
• Representatives of the breed are predisposed to deafness.

The average cost of a kao-mani kitten is 635,000 rubles.

The video below describes the kao-mani with unusual eyes in detail:

Standard

The standard tells us the following: kao mani (white pearl) are medium-sized cats, with an elegant body and graceful movements. Their sizes are small: males weigh on average 3.5-5 kg ​​(maximum 6), females - 2.5-3.5.

Strabismus, blindness, and protruding sternum (the so-called “keel”) are serious defects.

Chausie (housey)

This breed is considered one of the rarest. It is bred by crossing the domestic Abyssinian cat with the wild swamp lynx, which is also called the jungle cat or house cat. You should know the following about the appearance of this breed:

• In appearance, the Chausie resembles a miniature wild cat. This is a muscular animal with a proportionally built body.
• Its small head is shaped like a wedge or an elongated triangle.
• The ears are large with a wide base. It is about the chausie that we can say that her ears are located on the top of her head. Some representatives of this breed even have ear tufts, but their absence is not considered a defect.
• On the back of the ears there are “false” eyes - small spots that she got from her distant ancestors.
• Her fur is short and smooth. The breed standard allows three colors:
• black – without any marks or tans;
• black and silver ticked color – ideally without pronounced prints;
• black ticked color.

Thanks to the jungle cat genes, the Chausie loves water and enjoys splashing around in the bath. She is very trainable, so you can learn a few tricks with her. Due to its close genotype to its wild relatives, the cat buries or hides reserves for a “rainy day.” She, like the savannah, needs a lot of space for an active life.

By nature, these are sociable cats who do not like to spend time alone. Not only a human or another representative of the cat breed, but also a dog is suitable for company. It is worth noting that the character may vary somewhat depending on the category of the breed: representatives F1 and F2 are more obstinate and can release their claws at the moment of danger, and F3 and F4 are calmer and docile.

The average cost of a Chausie kitten is 320,000 rubles.

Catering

Khao mani do not have any problems with the digestive system, but this does not mean that they can be fed with just anything. A cat’s menu differs from a human’s, because they should never eat many foods, while others need to be eaten regularly and in large quantities.

Natural products

Should be on the menu:

• lean meat (veal, beef, rabbit, turkey, horse meat, lamb);
• offal (kidneys, liver, spleen, udder, chicken necks, ventricles, hearts);
• porridge (rice, oatmeal, buckwheat, millet);
• boiled chicken yolks, boiled quail eggs;
• fish (flounder, navaga, hake, salmon) and seafood (squid, shrimp);
• vegetables (carrots, pumpkin, zucchini, asparagus, broccoli);
• fermented milk products (yogurt, fermented baked milk, cream, hard cheese, bio-yogurt).

Cats drink only clean water, neither ice nor hot. You can purify the liquid using any kitchen filter, or buy bottled water in the store.

Meat in the diet should be at least 45%, vegetables and eggs - at least 15. The rest is cereals, fruits and fish. Kittens, depending on their age, eat 4-6 times a day, teenagers - 3-4, cats over 8 months - 2 times (morning and evening).

Safari

The breed was obtained by crossing the South American wild cat Geoffroy with a short-haired domestic cat - Bengal or Siamese. It is not included in the official list of breeds because it is considered experimental.

This is a very large animal that can easily compete with Maine Coons:

• the female weighs about 8 kg;
• males are much larger and reach 13-16 kg.

The muscular body with smooth lines gives the cat a graceful appearance. The head is triangular with a narrow lower jaw and a long nose.

The short coat is water-repellent and dense with a dense undercoat. It is colored amber and, depending on the second parent, can cast:

• silver or gold (if crossed with a Siamese cat);
• dark brown or reddish tint (if the second parent is “Bengali”).

The pattern consists of rings and rosettes on the tail, and dots and spots are scattered throughout the body.

Representatives of this breed have inherited only very interesting colors from their wild relatives. They themselves have a calm and peaceful disposition.

The average cost of a safari kitten is 315,000 rubles.

Vaccinations and antiparasitic treatment

To prevent infectious and viral diseases, the “snow-white pearl” is regularly vaccinated against panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis and calcivirosis. The first vaccination for a Kao-Mani kitten is given at the age of 7-8 weeks.

After 28 days, the “snow-white pearl” is vaccinated with the same drug, but with an anti-rabies component. In the future, a cat of this breed is vaccinated once a year.

Twice a year, the “snow-white pearl” is given anthelmintic drugs, the dosage of which is calculated taking into account the animal’s body weight. To kill fleas, the cat is periodically treated with special drops or shampoos.

Bengal cat

Her parents were an Asian leopard and a domestic cat. You should know the following about the appearance of the “Bengali”:

• The cat's head is wedge-shaped, and the structure of its muzzle is similar to a tiger's mouth, which is especially noticeable when it yawns or growls.
• Her eyes are golden or green.
• The coat is short and smooth. It is characterized by radiance, called glitter. It is noteworthy that this cat practically does not shed.
• The color and pattern of the cat may vary. The most common is a spotted-striped print, and the color often contains a gray, white or red tint. Kittens with white or gray coats are called “snow leopards.” At birth they are uniform in color, and the pattern appears later.

The "Bengal" loves water, so he prefers water procedures. He is very sociable and cannot stand being alone. The cat will not refuse to sit on the owner’s shoulders and needs a spacious room and a walk.

The average cost of a Bengal kitten is 127,000 rubles.

American Curl

The main characteristic of curls is their folded ears. This feature is the result of a natural random mutation. The turn of the tips of the ears is strictly regulated: it must be no less than 90 and no more than 180 degrees. Curls are sociable, non-aggressive and easily adaptable.

The cost of the breed is $1000-3000.

American Curl

A short-haired or semi-long-haired cat with funny ears that seem to curl back. Kittens are born with straight, regular ears. They begin to curl up by the end of the first week of life, and by the 4th month the cat acquires the usual appearance for this breed. A gene that is inherited is responsible for this feature of the ears.

Curls are flexible and curious people. They become attached not to the house, but to the owner. This intelligent animal is trainable and can be easily taught to fetch a ball.

American Curls have good immunity. The only thing is that the cartilage in their auricle is harder than that of ordinary breeds with erect ears, so it is easily injured. In this regard, it is better not to stroke the cat’s head.

The cost of an American Curl kitten is 95,000 rubles.

Interesting Facts

In ancient times, only noble people could own such

There is a version that white cats with pearly eyes saved Siam from slavery. This event happened at the end of the 19th century, when the country was attacked by the British. The then reigning Chulalongkorn Rama V sent the English consul a pair of white kittens as a gift, assuring them of their royal origin (in fact, they were ordinary mongrel cats). The Consul was touched by such a gesture. As a result, Siam remained independent.

Since ancient times, white cats with different eyes have been considered a symbol of happiness and good luck. Supposedly, they protect the house from harm.

Toyger

The toyger or “toy tiger” is an affectionate, large and tabby cat. The breed was obtained by crossing a Bengal cat with a domestic cat. It has the following description:

• This is a massive individual with heavy paws. Its weight reaches 12 kg.
• The coat is short and plush.
• A unique feature of the breed is its rare striped color. The drawing is clear. It consists of vertical stripes that cover the entire body, including the muzzle. The tip of the tail and paws are black. There are white “glasses” around the eyes.

Feeding the cat

Although kao-mani are unpretentious eaters, they need adequate nutrition. Since not all owners have the time and knowledge to correctly create a cat’s menu, experienced breeders recommend feeding the “snow-white pearl” dry food. In this case, the cat is given premium or super-premium food that does not contain wheat, soy, corn, dyes or preservatives.

The products of the following brands most accurately meet these criteria:

• Royal Canin;
• Pronature;
• Brit Care;
• Pro Plan;
• Bosch.

When feeding natural food, the kao-mani's diet should contain a sufficient amount of lean beef, turkey, chicken or rabbit. Twice a week, instead of meat, the cat is given offal and ocean fish. Also, the menu of the “snow-white pearl” always includes porridge, eggs, vegetables and sour milk.

In order for a cat of this breed to remain healthy longer, fatty meat, baked goods, river fish, sweets, smoked meats, sausages, onions, potatoes and any food from the owner’s table are completely excluded from its diet.

Elf

A relatively new breed that was bred by American breeders. By crossing an American Curl and a Canadian Sphynx, they got an Elf cat. It has a weight of 5-7 kg and a height of 30-40 cm. Representatives of this breed are easy to recognize by two characteristics:

• curled ears, like those of a Curl;
• lack of hair on the body.

Breed defects do not include the presence of a small amount of hair on the bottom of the paws, tail and tips of the ears.

Skin color can be any. Spots of different colors and sizes may be present on the skin. Most often, cats are light gray or beige in color, but there are also individuals with black or white skin.

These cute creatures are one of the most affectionate cats that literally follow their owner. They are playful, loyal, quickly learn to use the litter box, love company and do not tolerate loneliness well.

The lack of hair makes its own adjustments to the care of these big-eared hairless cats - their skin must be regularly wiped with a soft cloth, they must be protected from cold and drafts. Since the breed was bred in the USA, for now you can only buy an elf in an American nursery.

The average cost of an elf kitten is 65,000 rubles.

Everything about the elf breed is described in the video below:

Prone to hereditary gum inflammation. It is necessary to monitor the condition of the oral cavity constantly.

If the tail has severe knots and creases, problems with the spine will most likely develop. Such individuals are prone to some aggression due to constant pain. Sometimes kittens are born with strabismus or blindness.

Serengeti

This is a hybrid breed obtained by artificially crossing Bengal and Oriental cats. In appearance, they resemble a serval or savannah, but have a more modest size and an easy-going, calm character. This is due to the fact that their DNA lacks the genes of their wild ancestors.

Serengeti is a large cat: males weigh up to 15 kg, and females weigh 3-4 kg less. The ears are a distinctive feature of this breed. They are set high on the top of the head, and their length is equal to the length of the skull. The base of the auricle is wide; towards the tips they become narrower and rounded. The nose has a black lobe.

The coat is smooth, short, and lies close to the body. Its color can be black, brown, silver tabby or black spotted-smoky. The spots on the fur are elongated only horizontally.

The Serengeti is a leader and a very good hunter, so living together with domestic rodents and birds can end sadly for the latter. The cat is highly trainable, so it can easily learn a few tricks. She is a master at imitating different sounds. Some owners say that their pet can pronounce some human words syllable by syllable.

The average cost of a Serengeti kitten is 63,000 rubles.

Norwegian Forest Cat

This native of Scandinavia is famous for its thick, long fur, which also has water-repellent properties. If the animal gets wet, then after 10 minutes its fur will become dry again.

How to choose the right kitten

Due to the small number of livestock, buying a Kao-Mani kitten is very problematic. Moreover, you will have to pay a considerable amount for a baby “snow-white pearl”, and it is better to look for him in certified Thai or American nurseries.

When choosing a Kao-Mani kitten, it is advisable to pay attention to the following factors:

• availability of documents;
• manner of behavior;
• compliance with standard requirements;
• condition of fur, skin, eyes and ears.

Laperm

Representatives of this breed have curly hair, which makes them easy to recognize from hundreds of other breeds. However, curliness does not appear from the birth of the kitten, but by 4-6 months. Before this, the baby either has straight hair or is born completely bald. Therefore, when buying a laperm kitten, you should not rush.

Strong curls grow on the stomach and neck, as well as behind the ears. This breed can have both short-haired and long-haired representatives with different colors (experts count up to 30 colors). The most common and popular colors are:

The average cost of a laperm kitten is 63,000 rubles.

Brief history of the breed

The first mention of such animals is found in the “Book of Poems about Cats” (dating back to 1350). These cats appeared on the territory of ancient Siam as a result of natural selection and were considered royal for a long time.

The modern history of the breed began only in the 19th century. Control over the selection and crossing of cats was carried out by King Rama V. He took care of unique animals in every possible way and ordered the death of all who dared to steal a valuable animal. It is for this reason that the Kao-Mani lived exclusively in Siam for a long period.

The first snow-white cats came to Europe only after World War II. And in 1999, khao-mani were brought to the United States. 10 years later, the TICA association awarded the breed experimental status.

Maine Coon

This is one of the largest domestic cat breeds, some representatives of which can reach up to 1.23 m in length. Weight can vary from 5 to 15 kg depending on gender. Despite their impressive size, cats thrive in a small apartment.

They will never meow without a reason, and more often than not it seems that these cats are naturally mute.

"British" are medium or large in size. Their coat is short, thick with a pleasant shine, reminiscent of plush. The color can be varied - according to the standard, more than 30 colors are allowed.

• they should be widely spaced;
• in adult individuals, the distance between them can be equal to the width of a human palm;
• The ears themselves should have 1-3 folds, and the more folded they are, the more valuable the cat.

The kittens themselves are born with straight ears - the shape of the auricle is formed only by 5 weeks of age. One litter can contain both lop-eared and erect kittens. Fold-eared cats often have joint problems.

These peaceful animals easily adapt to new conditions and new people. They easily endure moving and traveling. Fold-eared cats are interesting because they can stand on their hind legs, like gophers, to watch something. Like the British, they are silent. Their meow resembles a quiet creaking sound.

Character and behavior

The character of Kao Mani is flexible and friendly. They seem to know about their beauty and always strive to be the center of attention. If there is an event taking place in the house, the Kao Mao (unlike many other breeds) will not sit somewhere in a corner or hide in their house, no. They will definitely seize the opportunity and come out to everyone, like kings to their subjects.

But, since the sun also has spots, it would seem that these too have disadvantages. perfect handsome men. Khao Mani cats are one of those breeds that absolutely cannot tolerate loneliness and require constant attention. Having chosen an owner, the kao will quite sincerely consider themselves an extension of him, and therefore behave accordingly: go to bed next to him, constantly follow him, climb under his arms, wake him up at night (if the cat wants to communicate), and so on. In terms of intrusiveness, kaos outshine even sphinxes.

Loneliness has a destructive effect on the psyche of kao mani: they become aggressive, become depressed, and may begin to behave inappropriately. Loneliness is especially dangerous during the period of growing up: instead of an affectionate and kind creature, you will eventually see an embittered, unsociable creature, capable of causing mischief at the most unexpected moment.

Grudge is another negative trait of kao mani. But believe me: these cats won’t sulk out of nowhere. If your pet suddenly starts making smelly puddles in the middle of the living room or snorting in your direction, look for the reason in your behavior. Most likely, you seriously offended her.

In all other respects, these cats are wonderful creatures. They easily find a common language with other cats (they don’t pretend to be first, but they can also stand up for themselves) and dogs (they are not afraid even of large and menacing-looking ones), they treat children with kindness, like caring nannies, they are always not averse to playing and running races .

They love toys and are always happy to receive a new bright gift. Inquisitive researchers who will not leave a single corner of the home without inspection. They love to climb high cabinets and shelves near the ceiling.

They will follow their master into fire and water. If they see a threat from someone - it doesn’t matter whether it’s a person or an animal - without hesitation, rush to his defense. They don’t mind sitting on their hands or knees, they love stroking and scratching under the chin. If she gets bored, she will carefully wriggle out of her hands and run to the side.

The sounds that kao mani make can hardly be called meowing: it is rather a growl, low and sharp.

Persian

The most famous and popular domestic cat breed throughout the world, valued for its character. Persians are calm, obedient, but very vulnerable. They become attached to their owner and do not want to share him with anyone.

The breed is easily recognized by its squat body, rounded paws with tufts of hair between the toes. The nose is wide and short, giving the “face” a somewhat dissatisfied appearance.

The coat is thin, thick, long, silky. It requires daily combing, otherwise it quickly falls into tangles that cannot be combed out. They have to be cut, which has a bad effect on the appearance of the animal.

The average cost of a Persian kitten is 31,000 rubles.

An expensive cat in most cases requires special care and additional investments, but all this pays off doubly when a soft and fluffy lump cuddles up to its owner. Which breed to choose depends on the preferences and lifestyle of the person himself.
