Cats tend to be a more independent type of pet. That is why many people prefer them over other types of pets. However, you might find that your feline friend doesn’t always do what he is supposed to. At this point, you need to find a way to discipline your cat that doesn’t involve hitting and screaming at him. If you bought your cat as a kitten, the odds are he will pick up on what is allowed and what isn’t fairly quickly. If you bought an adult cat, you might have to work on a few bad habits, but you need to remember to be patient while doing so.
The first thing that you should know is that it helps to use the same words when disciplining your cat. Don’t change it all the time because you will end up confusing your cat. If there is more than just you in the house, you need to make sure that your discipline techniques are uniform so that the cat will not be confused as to who they need to listen to.

Even if you are not familiar with the name of the breed, it is probably quite likely that you have seen this cat many times, either at a friend’s house or on television. The Himalayan is a very popular cat.
The only thing is that although this is a very sweet and affectionate cat, it is also a very time consuming feline to have as well when you take into account all the combing of their fur that you will have to do in order to keep them from looking scraggily.
The Himalayan is not of the petite variety, but more of a heavily boned feline. They have round body and are very broad, plus their coats only add to the rounded look that they already have going. There are two main facial types when it comes to the Himalayan. There are the extreme and the traditional.
Both have small and rounded ears that are set low on the head. They have round eyes with full cheeks and a prominent chin. The extreme face gives the cat a round and flattened look.
The traditional also has a round head, but the nose is different and they have an up turned mouth. It has been observed that the traditional breed experiences fewer health related problems than the extreme. These cats are great as indoor pets. They are great if you are looking for a calmer type of cat that also has a streak of playfulness in them. This type of cat needs the affection of their owner and loves to be combed and loved.
