Description

According to the latest research, the African wild cat is the most ancient, it was from it that all modern breeds of cats. Since keeping a wild pet at home, at least irresponsible and unreasonable, because it is not adapted for such an environment, you can choose the breed of Kanaan. If you like cats that meet "wild" standards as much as possible - externally, and partly internally, Kanaani is still the same wild African cat.

Canaani has a large size and a strong, muscular body with long paws. The muzzle is wedge-shaped, the ears are larger than the middle, the tail is long, the tabby dominates in the colors with some variations. These cats have very expressive eyes and facial expressions, so sometimes it is enough to look at them to understand their mood. Life expectancy - 15-17 years, some individuals live up to 20 years.

Personality

The Canaani cat has a strong character and values its own independence, however, it does not prevent it from showing great warmth and friendliness towards members of her family. These cats have a huge supply of vital energy and need constant stimulation of their mental and physical strength. If you live in an apartment, and cannot provide your pet with the necessary level of activity, if you spend most of the day at work, it is better to choose another cat.

Cat breed Canaani requires, ideally, living in a private house, where there is a garden, trees, have the opportunity to train their mountaineering skills and satisfy the instincts of the hunter. After all, it is an aboriginal breed (although it crossed from the eastern shorthair, and, until 2010, with Bengal,), and for at least 10,000 years, the ancestors of these cats hunted on African lands. Accordingly, you can be sure that no mouse or rat will be able to break into your home. On the other hand, the cat has a real fearlessness in fights, and therefore, cats in the neighborhood and even stray dogs will also bypass your area side.

In relation to their master and family members, they show great love and kindness, are highly intelligent, and always understand what is required of them. Even if they try to show the opposite, or do not listen to the owner the first time. In fact, you should understand that these pets always know when they talk about them, feel your mood well, and you just need to find the right approach.

Canaani has a fairly straightforward character, and always makes it clear if he wants something. Children are treated well, especially if the child will play with them. Other pets may not get along - if it is a cat or a dog, there is always such a chance. About rodents or birds should not even talk, for the Kanaani it is primarily prey.
