Ikati laseSingapore, noma njengoba belibiza kanjalo, ikati le-Singapura, luhlobo oluncane, oluncane lwamakati afuywayo, athandwa ngamehlo nezindlebe zalo ezinkulu, umbala wejazi, ophawulayo nosebenzayo, onamathele kubalingiswa babantu.
Umlando wozalo
Lolu hlobo lwathola igama lalo kusukela egameni laseMalaysian, igama leRiphabhlikhi yaseSingapore, okusho ukuthi “idolobha lengonyama”. Mhlawumbe yingakho bebizwa ngamabhubesi amancane. Kutholakala enqenqemeni eseningizimu yeNhlonhlo YaseMalay, iSingapore iyizwe ledolobha, izwe elincane kunazo zonke eSouth-Asia.
Njengoba leli dolobha liyichweba elikhulu kunawo wonke, kuhlala amakati namakati avela kuwo wonke umhlaba, alethwa amatilosi.
Kwakukulezi zikhumulo lapho kwakuhlala khona amakati amancane, ansundu, lapho alwela khona ucezu lwenhlanzi, futhi kamuva aba uhlobo oludumile. Baze babizwa ngokwedelela ngokuthi "amakati endle", njengoba babehlala emiseleni yesiphepho.
ISingapore yathathwa njengeyingozi futhi yalwa nayo kwaze kwaba yilapho umMelika ezitholela lolu hlobo futhi eyethula emhlabeni. Futhi, ngokushesha nje lapho kwenzeka, bathola ukuthandwa eMelika, futhi ngokushesha baba uphawu olusemthethweni lomuzi.
Ukuthandwa kwaheha izivakashi, futhi amakati aze amiswa nezithombe ezimbili eMfuleni iSingapore, endaweni lapho, ngokomlando, avele khona. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi amakati asetshenziswa njengezithombe zezithombe angeniswe esuka e-USA.
Lawa makati kadoti wangaphambili, adonsa ukunakwa kwabathandi bekati baseMelika ngo-1975. UTommy Meadow, owayeyijaji leCFF futhi engabafuyi bamakati ase-Abyssinian nawaseBurma, wayehlala eSingapore ngaleso sikhathi.
Ngo-1975, wabuyela e-United States namakati amathathu, awathola ezitaladini zedolobha. Baba ngabasunguli bohlobo olusha. Ikati lesine lamukelwa lisuka eSingapore ngo-1980 futhi labamba iqhaza entuthukweni.
Amanye amadlelo ezinyoni nawo ayebandakanyeka ekuzaleni kanti ngonyaka we-1982 lolu hlobo lwabhaliswa ku-CFA. Ngo-1984, uTommy wakha i-United Singapura Society (USS) ukuhlanganisa abalimi. Ngo-1988, i-CFA, inhlangano enkulu kunazo zonke yabathandi bekati, inikeza isikhundla sokuba ngumpetha wohlobo.
UTommy ubhala indinganiso yamakati, lapho esusa khona imibala engadingeki ye-monochrome, futhi ubeka uhlu lokulinda kulabo abafisayo, ngoba inani lamantshontsho angaphansi kwesidingo.
Njengoba kujwayele ukwenzeka eqenjini elincane labantu abathanda okuthile, ukungezwani kuyahlukana futhi maphakathi nawo-80s, i-USS iyahlukana. Amalungu amaningi akhathazekile ngokuthi lo mhlobo une-gene pool encane nosayizi, njengoba amazinyane avela ezilwaneni ezine.
Amalungu aphumayo ahlela i-International Singapura Alliance (ISA), enye yezinjongo ezinkulu ukunxenxa i-CFA ukuthi ivumele ukubhaliswa kwamanye amakati avela eSingapore ukuze kwandiswe i-gene pool futhi kugwenywe ukuzalanisa.
Kepha, kwaqubuka ihlazo elishisayo ngo-1987 lapho umfuyi uJerry Meyers eyolanda amakati. Ngosizo lweSingapore Cat Club, waletha idazini nezindaba: lapho uTommy Meadow efika eSingapore ngo-1974, wayesenamakati amathathu.
Kuvela ukuthi wayenabo isikhathi eside ngaphambi kohambo, futhi lonke uhlobo lukopela?
Uphenyo olwenziwa yiCFA lwathola ukuthi amakati alandwa ngo-1971 ngumngani wakhe owayesebenza eSingapore futhi athunyelwa njengesipho. Imibhalo ibinikeza ukuthi ikhomishini iqinisekisiwe, futhi akukho zinyathelo zasenkantolo ezithathiwe.
Iningi lamanxiwa lagcwala lo mphumela, angithi, umehluko muni lo owawenza emakati ngo-1971 noma ngo-1975? Kodwa-ke, bekungagculiseki ngale ncazelo, kanti abanye bakholelwa ukuthi la makati amathathu empeleni angukuziphindiselela kohlobo lwama-Abyssinia nabaseBurma, abazalelwa eTexas futhi bangeniswa eSingapore njengengxenye yohlelo lokukhwabanisa.
Ngaphandle kokuphikisana phakathi kwabantu, uhlobo lwe-Singapura luhlala luyisilwane esihle. Namuhla kuseyizinhlobo ezingavamile, ngokusho kwezibalo zeCFA kusukela ngonyaka ka-2012, ikleliswe endaweni yama-25 ngenani phakathi kwezinhlobo ezivumelekile, kanti kukhona ezingama-42 zazo.
Incazelo
ISingapore ikati elincane elinamehlo nezindlebe ezinkulu. Umzimba ubumbene kodwa uqinile. Izinyawo ziyasinda futhi zinemisipha, zigcina ngephedi elincane eliqinile. Umsila mfushane, ufinyelela maphakathi nomzimba lapho ikati lilele phansi futhi liphela ngethiphu ebuthuntu.
Amakati amadala anesisindo esisuka ku-2,5 kuya ku-3.4 kg, namakati asuka ku-2 kuye ku-2.5 kg.
Izindlebe zinkulu, zikhombe kancane, zibanzi, ingxenye ephezulu yendlebe iwela engela elincane ekhanda. Amehlo makhulu, amile okwe-alimondi, awaphumi, awashonanga.
Umbala wamehlo owamukelekayo uphuzi futhi uluhlaza okotshani.
Ibhantshi lifushane kakhulu, linokuthungwa okungusilika, eduze komzimba. Umbala owodwa kuphela ovunyelwe - i-sepia, nombala owodwa kuphela - i-tabby.
Unwele ngalunye kufanele lube nokuklanywa - okungenani imivimbo emibili emnyama ehlukaniswe nolula. Umugqa wokuqala omnyama usondela esikhunjeni, owesibili ekugcineni kwezinwele.
Uhlamvu
Uma ubheka lawo mehlo aluhlaza bese unqotshiwe, abathandi bamakati bathi. Bazwana namanye amakati nezinja ezinobungane, kepha izintandokazi zabo ngabantu. Futhi abanikazi babaphendula ngothando olufanayo, abagcina lezi ziqothula amagundane amancane, bayavuma ukuthi amakati ahlakaniphile, athokozile, anelukuluku futhi avulekile.
AbaseSingapore banamathele kwilungu elilodwa noma amaningi omndeni, kepha ungazesabi nezivakashi.
Abafuyi bababiza ngokuthi bangamaPheresiya ngenxa yezidladla zabo ezisheshayo nobuhlakani babo. Njengamakati amaningi asebenzayo, athanda ukunakwa nokudlala, futhi akhombisa ukuzethemba ongakulindela engonyameni, hhayi ikati elincane kunawo wonke asekhaya.
Bafuna ukuba kuyo yonke indawo, bavule ikhabethe bese yena egibela kulo ukuze ahlole okuqukethwe. Akukhathalekile ukuthi ukugeza noma ubuke iTV, uzobe ekhona.
Futhi noma ngabe ikati lineminyaka emingaki, lihlala lithanda ukudlala. Bafunda kalula namasu amasha, noma baqhamuke nezindlela zokungena endaweni engafinyeleleki. Baqonda masinyane umehluko phakathi kwamagama: ukutheleleka, isidlo sasemini bese uya kudokotela wezilwane.
Bathanda ukubuka izinto ezisendlini, futhi ukusuka kwenye indawo kusuka endaweni ephakeme kakhulu. Abathinteki emithethweni yamandla adonsela phansi futhi bakhuphukela phezulu esiqandisini njengama-acrobat amancane, athambile.
Mncane futhi mncane ngokubukeka, anamandla kunendlela avela ngayo. Ngokungafani nezinhlobo eziningi ezisebenzayo, amakati aseSingapore azofuna ukulala phansi ahlanze ethangeni lakho ngemuva kwe-rodeo ezungeze indlu.
Lapho nje lowo othandekayo ehlala phansi, bashiya umsebenzi bagibele emathangeni akhe. AbaseSingapore bazonda umsindo omkhulu futhi akuyona inketho engcono kakhulu emindenini enezingane ezincane. Kodwa-ke, okuningi kuya ngekati nasemndenini uqobo. Ngakho-ke, abanye babo bathola kalula ulimi oluvamile nabantu abangabazi, kanti abanye bacashile.
Kepha, lawa ngamakati anamathele kakhulu kubantu, futhi udinga ukuhlela isikhathi phakathi nosuku ukuxhumana nawo. Uma usebenza usuku lonke bese uhlala ku-club ubusuku bonke, lolu hlobo akulona olwakho. Umngane wekati angasilungisa isimo ukuze bangabi nesithukuthezi lapho ungekho, kodwa bese kuba yindlu yakho empofu.
Ufuna ukuthenga izinyane lekati?
Khumbula ukuthi lawa amakati angenawo amandla futhi ahlekisa kakhulu kunamakati alula. Uma ungafuni ukuthenga ikati laseSingapore bese uya kodokotela bezilwane, khona-ke thintana nabalimi abanolwazi ngamakhemikhali amahle. Kuzoba nenani eliphakeme, kepha izinyane lekati lizoqeqeshwa udoti futhi ligonywe.
Impilo nokunakekelwa
Lolu hlobo lusengavamile futhi kuzofanele uzibheke emakethe njengoba iningi lezinja lunohlu lokulinda noma ulayini. Njengoba ichibi lezakhi zofuzo lincane, ukuzalanisa kuyinkinga enkulu.
Izihlobo eziseduze ziwela kaningi kakhulu, okuholela ekunciphiseni kohlobo nokuzala kwezinkinga zezifo zofuzo nokungazali.
Abanye abazilibazisa bathi i-gene pool ivalwe kusenesikhathi ukuthi kungene igazi elisha futhi baphikelela ngokuthi amanye ala makati angeniswe kwamanye amazwe. Bathi ubukhulu obuncane nenani elincane lamazinyane kudoti kuwuphawu lokonakala. Kepha, ngemithetho yezinhlangano eziningi, ukuhlanganiswa kwegazi elisha kunqunyelwe.
AbaseSingapore badinga ukuzilungisa okuncane njengoba ijazi lifushane, liqinile emzimbeni futhi alinayo ingubo yangaphansi. Kwanele ukukama nokusika izinzipho kanye ngesonto, noma ngabe ukwenza lokhu kaningi, ngeke kubi kakhulu. Ngemuva kwakho konke, bayathanda ukunakwa, futhi inqubo yokulwa akuyona into edlula ukuxhumana.
