Asian
| Origin And History | The breed was developed in Britain, starting with a litter of kittens bred in 1981 by Baroness Miranda von Kirchberg. |
| Personality | The Asian Cat has no problem with moving into a new living area. It will adjust very quickly to its new home. Meeting new people is something that the Asian Cat likes to do. It will often go out of its way to meet a new visitor. Owners that enjoy interacting with their cat a few times a week will enjoy this cat breed. The Asian Cat can keep itself entertained in between quality time sessions with its owner. Bringing the Asian Cat to a home with children will bring the animal great joy. This cat loves children and their playful actions. The Asian Cat breed takes a long time to get used to dogs that share the same living space. If a person is looking for a cat that will live in the same area as their dogs, then this breed is not recommended. The Asian Cat breed can be loving on occasion. Some owners say that their Asian Cat will be affectionate one moment, and act like a stranger the next. This cat breed can be quite rambunctious. Owners should not be surprised to find their Asian Cat romping around the house throughout the day. The Asian Cat is a high energy cat breed that loves to run around and have fun. Not many cats are as smart as this one. The Asian Cat is one of the most intelligent cats in the world. It makes a good apartment cat, especially if owners will give it safe non-poisonous house plants near the windowsill, which the cat can explore. However, it is recommended that the Asian can only live in apartments, if it does not involve the city. The Asian does not enjoy loud noises from automobiles, buses, or trucks. So if needed to live in an apartment, it must be one near a peaceful suburb. The Asian is not a city cat. |
