Ikati laseMelika i-Shorthair, noma i-shorthair shorthair, libhekwa njengophawu lwe-United States, kanye ne-baseball ne-apple pie.
Lawa makati ahlala eMelika iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-400, afika nabahlali bokuqala.
Zazisetshenziswa njengabadobi begundane, ukunciphisa amakoloni amagundane ayehamba nomkhumbi ngaleso sikhathi. Leli kati linomzimba wemisipha nemilenze eqinile eyenzelwe ukuzingela. Ngokuya ngokuqukethwe, zilula, zingabizi, zinobungani futhi azithobeki.
Umlando wozalo
Ngokusobala, uhlobo lwamakati aseMelika lwafika e-United States luvela eYurophu, ngoba iNyakatho noma iNingizimu Melika ayinazo izinhlobo zezilwane ezazingavela kuzo. Isikhombi esifushane saseMelika sidabuka eYurophu, kepha eMelika baphila iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-400.
Kwazi bani, mhlawumbe okokuqala ngqa la makati afika noChristopher Columbus? Kepha, impela babeseJamestown, indawo yokuqala yaseBrithani eNew World, futhi siyakwazi lokhu kusuka ekungenisweni kwamaphephabhuku okubuyela emuva ku-1609.
Ngaleso sikhathi kwakuwumthetho ukuthatha amakati ebhodini. Kukholakala ukuthi wafika eMelika eMayflower, eyayithwele abahambeli bezongena ikoloni.
Umsebenzi kulolu hambo wawusebenza ngokoqobo, kubanjwa amagundane namagundane abonakalisa ukudla emikhunjini.
Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, wawela nezinye izinhlobo: iPersian, iBritish Shorthair, iBurma futhi wazuza izinhlobo esimazi ngazo namuhla.
Akukhathalekile ukuthi bavelaphi futhi nini, kepha baba ngamalungu agcwele omphakathi, bewasebenza njengabavikeli bezinqolobane, izindlu nezinsimu ezixukwini zamagundane nabo ababehamba ngemikhumbi.
Ngokwalokhu kubuka, ukusebenza kwakubaluleke ngaphezu kobuhle, futhi amakholoni okuqala ayenganaki kangako umbala, ukuma komzimba nokubala kwamakati aseMelika ama-Shorthair.
Futhi ngenkathi ukukhethwa kwemvelo kunzima kubo bobabili abantu namakati, bakwazile ukujwayela nokuthuthukisa imisipha eqinile, imihlathi, kanye nokuphendula okusheshayo. Kepha, ukuthandwa kweza kulo mhlobo maphakathi nawo-1960, lapho iqala ukubamba iqhaza emibonisweni nasekuzuzeni imiklomelo.
Ekuqaleni kwekhulu leminyaka, la makati awelelwa ngasese namaPheresiya, ukuthuthukisa ingaphandle nokunikeza umbala osiliva.
Ngenxa yalokho, bashintsha futhi bathola izici zamakati asePheresiya. Njengoba amaPheresiya ayephumelela kakhulu, izinhlobo ezinjalo zahlanganiswa.
Kepha, njengoba isikhathi siqhubeka, izinhlobo ezintsha zathatha isikhundla se-American Shorthair. Izindlwana zazinentshisekelo ezinhlotsheni ezinjengePersian, iSiamese, i-Angora futhi zikhohlwa ngamaKurzhaars azikhonza ngokwethembeka iminyaka.
Iqembu labathandi abathanda ukubukeka okudala kwe-American Shorthair laqala uhlelo lokongiwa kwemvelo, yize bagcina umbala wesiliva njengoba waduma.
Ekuqaleni, izinto zaziba nzima, ngoba abakutholanga ukwesekwa kwabanye abalimi. Ngalezo zinsuku, abakwazanga ukuwina emasongweni ombukiso ngokumelene nezinhlobo ezintsha, abakwazanga ukumelwa kuzo, ngoba kwakungekho indinganiso.
Futhi lokhu kwaqhubeka kwaze kwaba ngawo-1940, lapho kuhamba kancane futhi kune-creak, kepha ukuthandwa kohlobo lwaqala ukukhula.
NgoSepthemba 1965, abafuyi bavotela ukuqamba kabusha lolu hlobo. Namuhla ibizwa ngokuthi ikati laseMelika i-Shorthair, noma i-pointer enezinwele ezimfishane (akumele ididaniswe nohlobo lwenja), ngaphambili eyayibizwa nge-shorthair yasekhaya.
Kodwa amadolobhana ayesaba ukuthi ngaphansi kwaleli gama wayengeke athole ukufunwa emakethe, futhi aqamba kabusha lolu hlobo.
Namuhla ziyaziwa ngokusemthethweni, zibalwa ngokuthandwa e-United States, okwesine kuzo zonke izinhlobo zamakati.
Incazelo
Abasebenzi bangempela, abaqiniswe yiminyaka yokuphila kanzima, amakati anemisipha, akhiwe ngokuqinile. Enkulu noma emaphakathi ngosayizi.
Amakati avuthiwe ngokobulili anesisindo esisuka ku-5 kuye ku-7.5 kg, amakati asuka ku-3.5 kuye ku-5 kg. Zikhula kancane, futhi zikhule ziye onyakeni wesithathu - wesine wokuphila.
Isikhathi sokuphila iminyaka eyi-15-20.
Ikhanda lincane, liyindilinga, linamehlo ahlukaniswe kabanzi. Ikhanda ngokwalo likhulu, linomlomo obanzi, imihlathi eqinile ekwazi ukubamba inyamazane.
Izindlebe zinosayizi ophakathi nendawo, oyindilinga kancane ethiphu bese zibekwa zibanzi ngokwanele ekhanda. Amehlo makhulu, ikona lohlangothi lwangaphandle lweso liphakeme kancane kuneli ngaphakathi. Umbala wamehlo uncike kumbala nombala.
Ama-paws anobude obuphakathi nendawo, anemisipha enamandla, agcina ngopende ominyene, oyindilinga. Umsila ujiyile, ubude obuphakathi nendawo, ubanzi ezansi futhi uthinta ekugcineni, ichopho lomsila libuthuntu.
Ijazi limfushane, lincane futhi linzima uma uthinta. Ingashintsha ukuthungwa kwayo kuye ngesizini, iba mnyama kakhulu ebusika.
Kepha, kunoma yisiphi isimo sezulu, kuminyene ngokwanele ukuvikela ikati emakhazeni, ezinambuzaneni nasekulimaleni.
Kunemibala ehlukene engaphezu kuka-80 nemibala eyaziwayo ngekati laseMelika i-Shorthair. Kusuka ku-tabby enamabala ansundu kuya kumakati anamehlo aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka anoboya obumhlophe noma obhemayo. Abanye bangaba mnyama grey noma mnyama. Umbala we-tabby wakudala ungacatshangelwa, ithandwa kakhulu embukisweni. Amakati kuphela angavunyelwe ukuncintisana, lapho izimpawu zokuxubana zibonakala khona ngokucacile, ngenxa yalokho izimpawu zezinye izinhlobo ezivelele. Isibonelo, imibala: ushokoledi, i-lilac, i-fawn, i-sable.
Noma yikuphi ukukhonjiswa kohlobo lwe-hybrid, kufaka phakathi: uboya obude, iplume emsileni nasentanyeni, amehlo aphume kanye namathambo omlomo wobuso, umsila okhonciwe noma umbala wephoyinti, kuyizizathu zokungavunyelwa.
Uhlamvu
Inkulumo ethi "konke ngokulinganisela" ifika engqondweni lapho kudingeka ukuchaza umlingiswa wekati laseMelika i-Shorthair. Lokhu akulona usofa oshibhile, kepha futhi akuyona ibhola elibhampayo.
Kungenxa yakho uma ufuna ikati elijabule ukulala emathangeni akho, hhayi ekhanda lakho, futhi elingahlanyi ngenkathi usemsebenzini.
Njengamakholoni amlethele, isikhombisi esifushane sithanda ukuzimela. Zikhetha ukuhamba ngezidladla zazo futhi azithandi ukucoshwa uma lokhu kungewona umqondo wazo. Ngaphandle kwalokho, bangabantu abahlakaniphile, abanothando, nabanothando.
Bayakuthanda nokudlala, futhi bahlala bedlala noma sebekhulile. Futhi imvelo yokuzingela isenabo, ungakhohlwa. Uma engekho amagundane namagundane, babamba izimpukane nezinye izinambuzane, baziqonde ngale ndlela. Bathanda nokubuka izinyoni neminye imisebenzi ngaphandle kwewindi.
Uma uphumela emgwaqeni, khona-ke lungela izipho ezingamagundane nezinyoni azoziletha. Yebo, efulethini, gcina upholi kude naye. Bathanda nezindawo eziphakeme, njengamashalofu aphezulu noma izihloko zezihlahla zamakati, kepha zingalunyulwa kusuka ekukhuphukeni ifenisha.
Bazovumelana nanoma yisiphi isimo, nakwezinye izilwane. AmaKurzhaars azolile ngokwemvelo, amakati amahle, athandwa kakhulu emindenini, njengoba ebekezelela ububi bezingane. Bangamabhilidi ahlakaniphile futhi anelukuluku anentshisekelo kukho konke okwenzekayo ngakubo.
Bayayithanda inkampani yabantu, kepha bazimele, abaningi babo bathambile, kepha abanye bakhetha ukuba seduze. Kungcono ukugwema ukunakwa njalo futhi ushiye ikati kuye.
Uma ufuna uhlobo oluzolile noluthule lapho ufika ekhaya kusuka ngosuku olunzima emsebenzini, lolu uhlobo lwakho. Ngokungafani nezinye izinhlobo, akuvamile ukuthi adinge noma yini, ngaphandle kokuthi ukhohlwe ukondla. Futhi noma kunjalo uyenza ngosizo lwephimbo, izwi elizolile, hhayi inhlabamkhosi embi.
Ukugcinwa nokunakekelwa
Akukho ukunakekelwa okukhethekile okudingekayo. Njenge-Shorthair yaseBrithani, bathambekele ekudleni ngokweqile futhi bakhuluphale, ngakho-ke akufanele badliswe ngokweqile.
Ukugwema lezi zinkinga, ungadli ngokweqile futhi udlale nekati lakho ukuligcina lisebenza ngokomzimba.
Ngendlela, laba bangabazingeli abazelwe, futhi uma unethuba, bayeke bangene egcekeni, bayeke basebenzise umuzwa wabo wemvelo.
Ukubanakekela kulula. Njengoba ijazi lifushane, lwanele ukuluhlanganisa kanye ngesonto futhi uhlanze njalo izindlebe, usike izinzipho. Hhayi ngokweqile nokuthunyelwe okuklwebhekayo, lapho ikati lidinga ukufundiswa khona.
Ukukhetha izinyane lekati
Ukuthenga izinyane lekati elingenawo amaphepha kuyingozi enkulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, e-cattery, amantshontsho ayagonywa, aqeqeshelwe izindlu zangasese, futhi ahlolelwe izifo. Xhumana nabalimi abanolwazi, izindawo zokugcina izingane ezinhle.
Ezempilo
Ngenxa yokukhuthazela nokungathobeki kwabo, baphila kuze kube yiminyaka eyi-15 noma ngaphezulu. Abanye babo baphathwa yi-hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), isifo senhliziyo esiqhubekayo esiholela ekufeni.
Izimpawu zifiphele kangangokuba kwesinye isikhathi ikati lifa ngokuzuma futhi ngaphandle kwesizathu. Njengoba singesinye sezifo ezivame kakhulu ze-feline, kunama laboratories e-United States angathola ukubonwa kwe-HCM ezingeni lezakhi zofuzo.
Emazweni ethu, impumelelo enjalo ayinakwenzeka. Lesi simo asinakulapheka, kepha ukwelashwa kungasibambezela.
Esinye isifo, yize singabulali, kepha sibuhlungu futhi sisongela impilo yekati yi-hip dysplasia.
Ngenkambo emnene yalesi sifo, izimpawu zaso cishe azibonakali, kepha ezimweni ezinzima ziholela ezinhlungwini ezinzima, ukuqina kwamalungu, isifo samathambo.
Lezi zifo, yize zitholakala ku-shorthaired yaseMelika, zivame kakhulu kunezinye izinhlobo.
Ungakhohlwa, lawa akuwona amakati kuphela, angamaphayona nabahambeli abahambise iMelika futhi baqothula ibutho lamagundane.
