Above all it means respecting the great work that has been done in the past by great passionate breeders, trying to safeguard those genealogical lines that risk getting lost, thus impoverishing the genetics of this Magnificent Breed. It means that my cats are first of all my family, companions of life, and it is with this spirit that I undertake to respect all their ethological needs, which are always put first, with respect to human needs. My cats are free to climb, run, play, in large protected enclosures, without over-population, with areas organized in compliance with their ethological needs. I live with my cats all stages of life, from birth, to pregnancy, to old age. If my neutered cats live well together with other fertile cats, they stay with me, otherwise they are entrusted to trusted families who will request them. I use for them the best Natural food, BARF, based on meats for human use prepared by me. I take care of my cats with a holistic approach, making use of specialized veterinarians My Affix (Name of the Kennel) is registered in ANFI (Italian national feline federation) Anfi is one of the 41 members of the FIFe and is Legally recognized with DM 6/8/1997 Authorized to manage the Breed Book of the Purebred Cat with DM 9.6.2005 prot. 22790 modified with DM 13.10.2008 prot. 12953 "A heartfelt Thanksgiving goes to the families who have welcomed my puppies in the past but also those who will do so in the future; it is also thanks to you if I will be able to continue in the dream of Protecting this Magnificent Natural Breed" Salvaguardia Salvaguardia Salvaguardia Salvaguardia storia e leggenda storia e leggenda storia e leggenda storia e leggenda The story of the Norwegian Forest cats was born many centuries ago, when the Nordic legends already saw it described in the mythological tales of which it is the protagonist next to the goddess Freya and the god Thor. Around 1220, Snorri Sturluson, poet, historian, scholar and narrator of myths and legends, wrote the "EDDA" ("great-grandmother"), a text that describes the Nordic mythology of pagan Scandinavia, in which large sleeping cats are mentioned long in the tales of these two Nordic deities. The first description of this breed dates back to 1599 when a naturalist, the Danish friar Peter Claus Friis, who lived for a long time in Norway, defined three categories of lynx: the wolf-lynx, the fox-lynx and the cat-lynx. last class plausibly indicated the progenitors of our Norwegian Forest cat. The original name in Norwegian is “Norsk Skogkatt”: Norsk -> Norwegian, Skog -> Forest, Katt -> Cat. The work "Norwegian Folk Tales" written by Asbjornsen and Moe was then published in 1835, with which the Norwegian Forest Cat, becomes part of Norwegian literature and culture. In the work “Norwegian folk tales” he is called "Huldrekat" ("huldre" = wood nymph) and described as a wood cat with a large and bushy tail. In the fairy tales that were later handed down to the Brothers Grimm, this cat probably impersonated, with its long-haired culottes and the hind leg covered with undercoat, the well-known "Puss in Boots". In 1912 the Norwegian author Gabriel Scott wrote a very popular children's book called "Sølvfaks" in which the protagonist of the story is a cat of the woods. Around 1930 some Scandinavian breeders took an active interest in this autochthonous feline and started a breeding with the aim of safeguarding the originality of the species, selecting the subjects for their morphology and thick fur, trying to preserve it from mating with cats to short-haired and other genetic contamination. Already since 1940, during the 2nd World War, this type of cat was used by the Danish army with specific functions entrusted to forest cats during postal transport for the protection of precious goods, parcels and dispatches from the systematic destruction of mice. Only in 1965 these cats, considered "postal officers", were deleted from government registers. In 1943, a book entitled "Cats, wild animals and domestic friends" was published in Norway on the breeding of the Norwegian Forest Cat (authors Reidar and Lund), which aroused much interest in the fate of the national cat and in which the bases for the breeding of the Norwegian were treated: In the years that followed, the search for absolutely pure subjects became the goal of enthusiasts who worked hard for the salvation of the breed against the looming danger of extinction caused by the extension of cities and the spread of short-haired cats. The first representatives of this breed appeared on display in 1969 and in 1973 Helene Nordane and Edel Runas of the Norwegian Feline Federation began the first serious selection and breeding program. In 1974, the first parent pair of Norwegian forest cats (the male Pan's Trulls by Else Nylund and the female Pippa Skogpuss by Edel Runas), the progenitors of all pedigreed Norwegian cats, was recorded in the Norwegian Origins Book. In December 1975 enthusiastic breeders of the breed founded the Norsk Skogkattring (Norwegian Forest Cat Club) which was an instant success.The breeding program was difficult for the following years as there were so few officially recognized relatives that a number of crossbreeding between relatives was inevitable. Before the new breed could be recognized by the FIFè (Fédération Internationale Féline), three complete generations had to be authenticated. In April 1977, when there were about 150 Norwegian Forest Cats registered in Norway, FIFe sent a German judge to a show in Oslo. His goal was to make a report on the new breed, to help the FIFè judges' commission decide on its future. In November 1977, Carl-Frederick Nordane traveled to Paris to attend the FIFé general assembly. He brought with him several photos of what would soon become a new breed. The judges recognized in Pan's Truls, brown tabby with white, the standard with which the entire breed would be identified and assigned the standard number 13 NF. This caused a lot of noise in the country of origin where the photo of Truls was broadcast on television announcing that the Norwegian forest cat had been officially recognized. In 1977 this led to official recognition by the International Feline Federation (FIFe), which was followed in 1984 in America by the definition of the standard by breeders belonging to the TICA (The International Cat Association). In 1987 the CFA (Cat Fancier's Association) also registered the first Norwegian Forest Cat. In Italy it was Elena Scorta (Valhalla kennel) who imported the first two Norwegian Forest Cats, Pan's Pallet, Artax and Sirika in 1988 - Below are some photos of cats from the first Italian breeders, Vallhalla , Vikjngs, Freja's Chariot, Silvanesti's, Ice Lanke, Moon Cat's, Sibelius, ...._ cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Photos courtesy of the owners, please ask for permission before using. A great effort was made in recent years to find suitable specimens for breeding that would guarantee a gene pool rich enough to avoid the risks of mating between relatives and this commitment was continued in Scandinavia as well, until 1990, then it was decided to stop the recognition of new subjects coming directly from the woods, the ancestral ones (called "novices"). _d04a07d8- 9cd1-3239-9149-20813d6c673b__d04a07d8-9cd1- 3239-9149-20813d6c673b_Only in 1993 the breed was officially recognized worldwide and the international standard and code definitively formalized. Among the pioneering breeders Else Nylund with her kennel "Pan's" and Randi and Arild Grotterød with their kennel "Torvmyra" deserve a special mention, who contributed substantially to the breed. The reason why these two kennels are particularly remembered is that even today it is almost * impossible to find a cat among the most beautiful of the breed whose pedigree does not have a "Pan's" or "Torvmyra" ancestor in the bloodline. A Special Thanks goes to my dear Norwegian friends, Gunn Inigrid and Roald Pedersens (FRU PEDERSEN'S cattery) for giving me these 3 precious books now nowhere to be found. Home STORA GATTO NORVEGESE

Their puppies live in the house with me, until their departure for their new homes, following precise techniques of socialization with other cats and humans . - DO NOT LIVE STRESS FROM OVER POPULATION: In these large spaces, mothers and fathers do not experience stressful situations caused by their state of fertile cat and the presence of "competitors", in this way they can transmit their balanced, sweet character to the puppy _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_e loving. - I DO NOT USE INDUSTRIAL FEED -I raise the Norwegian cat and its kittens feeding it in a biologically appropriate way, as just like their wild cousins, cats evolved as hunters , jaws and digestive systems are suitable for diets rich in fresh meat. The puppies are used to various types of food so as not to have problems related to single-brand stores. My cats and kittens are followed by a veterinarian nutritionist. - I DO NOT ENTRUST THE PUPPIES BEFORE THE END OF 3 MONTHS -It is my goal to entrust extremely socialized puppies, affectionate and loving, who will not be afraid of relatives and friends who will come to visit you. SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES I like to help by advising families, to prepare for the arrival of the new member, to create an environment that will give him everything he will need, from environmental enrichment, to where to place food and bedding , corners to hide and rest, up to which scratching post to buy. I like to remain a point of reference for families for any future needs and occasionally receive some photos to see my puppies grow. In this regard, I manage two Facebook groups, one that concerns the family management of the cat, how to solve small problems of coexistence, Norwegian Love History and Health _cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_e one dedicated to its power supply.

It guarantees you that the cats have not been exploited to produce hundreds of out-of-control litters. It guarantees you that the mandatory health tests have been carried out. I DO NOT DELIVER CATS AT HOME Anyone who wants my puppy must be willing to get to know me and the whole feline family. A puppy is not a parcel, neither a "gift" nor a "surprise", but a living being that needs respect. The adoption takes place through a contract, with obligations and rights. I DO NOT RELY GATTI TO THIRD PARTIES I don't trust cats a Shops, you will NEVER find one of my kittens for sale in a "showcase" Kittens must grow up in close contact with their mother and siblings and a breeder who looks after them and socializes them from the first moment of life up to at least 3 months. I don't give puppies as gifts to third parties I don't know, or who don't want to come and meet me. DO NOT TRUST PUPPIES FREE TO RIDE Balconies and Windows and Gardens must be secured.

Etica Allevatoriale IL MIO IMPEGNO PER IL BENESSERE ANIMALE QUANTO COSTA UN GATTO NORVEGESE? Perche il prezzo non è sul sito?- Perché qui non c'è nessuna vetrina. Quando un gattino entra in un contratto di cessione, la legge lo trasforma in qualcosa che non è: un bene di consumo, soggetto alle stesse categorie di un elettrodomestico. Io non ci sto. Un gattino di Disir Nornir nasce da mamme e papà testati, selezionati in vent'anni di passione e costanza, screenati sanitaari. Viene svezzato con alimentazione naturale BARF, socializzato individualmente, seguito dalla nascita fino al giorno in cui entra nella tua famiglia e oltre. Mettere un prezzo su una pagina web significa inserirlo in una logica commerciale che non gli appartiene. Il contributo richiesto per l'adozione esiste, ed è trasparente. Non è il prezzo di un gattino. È il contributo che rende possibile fare le cose per bene. Se vuoi sapere l'importo, scrivimi o chiamami. Rispondo a tutti, senza fretta e senza giudizio. Ma quella cifra la condivido in una conversazione reale, non come etichetta su una vetrina, ne all domande che chiedono solo " prezzo?" senza un buongiorno, senza tenere conto che stiamo parlando di un essere vivente. Allevare eticamente significa… Vivere ogni giorno con consapevolezza e amore, scegliendo ciò che migliora davvero la vita dei gatti e non ciò che soddisfa solo i nostri desideri o interessi. Significa uscire dall’antropocentrismo, riconoscendo che i gatti non sono strumenti o progetti da modellare secondo il nostro metro umano, ma individui vivi, unici e meritevoli di rispetto. Ogni giorno mi impegno per garantire che ogni Norvegese delle Foreste cresca sereno, equilibrato e felice Rispetto dei tempi di recupero tra le cucciolate Ogni mamma ha bisogno del giusto intervallo tra una cucciolata e l’altra: tempi che non dipendono solo dalle regole delle associazioni, ma anche dalle esigenze fisiche ed emotive di ciascuna gatta. Garantire questo periodo di recupero è fondamentale per la loro salute e per crescere cuccioli equilibrati e sereni. Cura attenta della socializzazione e del benessere emotivo e a ccesso a spazi ampi, sicuri e stimolanti . Ogni gatto ha una personalità unica. La socializzazione e le attività quotidiane rispettano i loro ritmi, riducono stress e tensioni e includono stimoli naturali come arrampicate, gioco e interazioni positive. Le mamme e i papà dei miei cuccioli non vivono in gabbie né in stanze strette o sovrappopolate. I gatti fertili, per loro natura, sono soggetti a forti stimoli ormonali, competizioni e stress riproduttivi; per questo ho scelto di vivere in campagna, all’interno della riserva naturale Monte Prinzera, offrendo loro un ambiente sereno e naturale. Qui possono godere del sole, del contatto con l’erba e del terreno, senza convivenze forzate. Questo stile di vita permette loro di esprimere i comportamenti naturali: cacciare, arrampicarsi, godere di sole e erba, riducendo tensioni croniche e favorendo gatti adulti equilibrati, longevi e sereni, non “fabbriche di cuccioli” stressati. Gli spazi esterni dedicati ai gatti misurano 1000 mq e sono stati studiati per preservarli dai rari gatti randagi e dagli animali selvatici. Il perimetro è esternamente custodito da cani pastori maremmani ed è recintato “in doppio”: una parte esterna a protezione dell’intero perimetro Alimentazione naturale, bilanciata e personalizzata Cibo rispettoso dell’etologia felina, studiato per supportare salute, energia e sviluppo armonico. Controlli veterinari specialistici regolari Visite preventive, vaccinazioni, screening genetici e attenzione costante alla salute fisica ed emotiva di ogni gatto. Affidi responsabili e supporto alle famiglie Ogni cucciolo viene affidato solo a famiglie adeguate, con accompagnamento e consulenza continua su alimentazione, salute e comportamento. Rispetto delle caratteristiche individuali Nessun gatto viene forzato in attività o ambienti inadatti; se un gatto adulto non vive bene in allevamento, viene affidato a una famiglia adatta. Nessun maltrattamento genetico Nessuna consanguineità e nessuna selezione di caratteristiche fisiche estreme che possano compromettere salute o benessere. Trasparenza e documentazione Accesso ai certificati sanitari, pedigree e aggiornamenti regolari sullo sviluppo dei cuccioli. Programmazione consapevole delle cucciolate Numero di cucciolate controllato, pause adeguate tra le gravidanze e scelta delle accoppiate basata su salute e temperamento. Responsabilità etica e culturale L’allevamento non è finalizzato alla vendita o all’aspetto estetico bensì alla conoscenza , divulgazione della conoscenza della razza, educando le famiglie a comprendere e rispettare i bisogni dei Norvegesi delle Foreste. Igiene e sicurezza sanitaria Protocollo rigoroso per prevenire malattie, controlli di parassiti e gestione quotidiana di ambienti puliti e sicuri con spazi ampi che permettono una bassa popolazione.

You can see antibody tests below: (the originals signed by the veterinarian are visible on the farm) Vaccination immunity, given by vaccines for cats and dogs, lasts at least 3 years, as stated in the 2015 WASA Guidelines- ( GUIDELINES) Before revaccinating your cat, ask your veterinarian for an antibody test, as overvaccinating can be the cause of many diseases. Vaccicheck, check if your cat is still covered for the 3 diseases for which you want to revaccinate him. ( VACCICHECK ) Vaccinations and antibody titration: for an informed choice. Premise: Humans are vaccinated against viral diseases (such as measles, smallpox, polio, papilloma, etc ...) as children, up to 6/10 years and then never again since antibodies have been created and will protect during the course of the life towards those diseases. The continued repetition of viral vaccinations will therefore be useless We are only talking about diseases caused by viruses, therefore we exclude bacterial diseases (eg leptospirosis) or caused by spores such as tetanus for which a periodic recall is instead provided. There are also strong suspicions on the possible harmfulness of the same (for some time we have been talking more and more frequently about the responsibility of vaccines in the onset of autism in children and recently the occurrence of post-vaccination deaths has aroused concern and discussions in the scientific field). As in humans, vaccination in our pets also stimulates the creation of antibodies that will remain active in the body for a long time, even if variable. And for the same reasons it is legitimate to think that the continuous repetition of useless vaccinations is in all probability, according to many scientific studies, harmful. But what is the antibody titration? _Cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_What is it for? ANTI-BODY TITRATION is a simple blood sample. It is used to understand if the vaccinations carried out have given immunity to the animal. With a simple outpatient test you can know the immune coverage status of your pet, so if it is necessary to revaccinate or if you can suspend the annual vaccinations. How much does the antibody titration cost? The antibody titration costs approximately € 50.00 as much as a vaccine. How long does vaccination immunity last? Vaccination immunity, given by vaccines for cats and dogs, lasts at least 3 years, as stated in the 2015 WASA Guidelines- ( GUIDELINES) Where can I find a veterinarian who performs antibody titration? You can find a veterinarian titling antibody in this site, by selecting your region you can choose the_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136905_bad5cf58d closest to you -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ armonieanimali.com When should cats be vaccinated? When do the recall of the vaccine of our cat? GUIDELINES FOR VACCINATION OF GATTO Let's see together now when it is necessary to vaccinate the cat and what are the WSAVA guidelines for the vaccination of the cat. The vaccines considered CORE, therefore to be given to all cats, are those that protect against feline Panleukopenia virus (FPV, Feline Panleukopenia), infectious Rhinotracheitis virus (FHV-1, Feline HerpesVirus type 1) and calicivirus (Feline Calicivirus, FCV). Also in this case the vaccines are defined as core, and therefore highly recommended, because the diseases against which they protect are highly contagious and serious (Panleukopenia) or disabling for the life of the animal (herpes and calicivirus). As for two core cat vaccines, however, these do not offer as solid protection as canine core vaccines. In fact, of the 3 we mentioned above, only the one for the Panleukopenia protects for a long time (like that for the dog parvirus, of which among other things it is a very close relative) , while Herpesvirosi e Calicivirosi_Herpesvirosi e Calicivirosi bbc781-bad5 year need for our high risk For house cats ("low risk cats"), on the other hand, all three cores can be recalled NOT more frequently than every 3 years. The vaccine NON CORE most important of the cat is the one against the Leukemia_Leucemia-136bad5cf58d_Leucemia-136b 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_FeLV). This vaccine must be carefully evaluated especially for "high risk" cats, that is, for those cats who live both indoors and out and who may have frequent contact with other cats. In case it is decided that "the game is worth the candle", the vaccine for FeLV must be richiamato every year. Important: before starting the vaccination protocol for FeLV it is definitely advisable to test our cat for that virus with one of the rapid tests on the market: if the virus is already present it will be useless to vaccinate! For the kitten, as for the puppy, it is valid the rule of design the vaccination protocol in such a way as to_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cupd period " -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_in which the antibodies taken with the colostrum are still too present to guarantee that the vaccine will work, but too little present to guarantee protection. Unlike the dog, however, carrying out an antibody titration can be quite complex. First of all certainly due to the greater difficulty and the high degree of stress that a blood draw in a cat entails. Secondly (but not too much), also because if it is true that finding antibodies to Panleukopenia means that the kitten is protected from this disease, this is not true for Rhinotracheitis and Calicivirosis: the kitten may not have circulating antibodies BUT still have good protection. , there is no correlation. What are the risks of vaccinating cats? One of the risks is the FISS - SARCOMA FELINO AT THE INOCULUS SITE As we had already mentioned here , cats are unfortunately particularly prone to a type of tumor, called feline injection site sarcoma (FISS). This type of tumors, particularly infiltrating and malignant, has been correlated quite clearly with the injection of drugs, including vaccines. It seems that localized chronic inflammation can initiate a malignant transformation, although obviously NOT all cats develop FISS (approximately 1: 5000 according to some data). The vaccines most at risk are those that contain adjuvants, i.e. substances that enhance the effect of the vaccine. So, what can be the indications to avoid this problem? First of all, vaccinate and in any case give the cat as few drugs as possible by injection! The choice of the type of vaccine and the place of administration will then be another aspect that your Vet will take into account. The worst place to inject any drug into a cat: between the shoulder blades!

Il cucciolo sta per arrivare nella nuova casa, come prepararsi? quali sentimenti prova il gattino? come approcciarsi con lui? come farlo incontrare ai bambini? WHEN A KITTEN ARRIVES IN THE FAMILY: How do you understand what the puppy is feeling right now? How do you know if everything is fine e which sensazioni test? Will you be happy to be with us? Will he be able to settle in our home? Surely, soon, the little frightened kitten will become master absolute of your home and it will seem to you that he is always lived with you, but this over time. Now the little one needs to acquire security and only you, with your calm and your pazienza you can infuse it. It is obvious that for you who have brought it to your home with so much love that wad of fur is a source of pleasant emotions and great happiness. The children of the house, if you have any, will be very excited and impatient to be able to cuddle the kitten and it will not be easy to reign calm, which at this moment is, however, absolutely essential. A day like any other can truly become a special day if that day, in your home, a kitten arrives, _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136_bad5cfina we do not know and who does not know us. This premise summarizes our emotions, but he, the protagonist, the object of so much attention, what is he feeling at this moment? Let's imagine for a moment that we are in his shoes to try to understand him and make this passage as sweet as possible. We keep in mind that he with his mother and his siblings was fine and had no intention of changing residence. He is afraid, he finds himself alone with people he does not know, the environment in which he was born and lived is no longer there, there is no longer even the reassuring presence of a mother cat under whose belly you could run to take refuge in case of danger and then fall asleep happily to the echo of its purr. Those were good times! But what is happening now? He was put in a pet carrier and then, probably, in a car, sounds and noises frighten him and after the journey he will enter a house that is also unknown. he will hide, if he refuses food and does not use the litter box, all this is normal and, unfortunately, inevitable in the acclimatization phase, but we can really make a difference, our attitude, respect and sweetness that we will be able to use towards this creature, not only will it help him to overcome this difficult moment, but it will guarantee us a happy coexistence with a serene and balanced cat.The cat is, in fact, a very sensitive animal and its psyche, especially during childhood , is very prone to suffering trauma which can become very difficult to remove in the future.The password when the puppy arrives home is: CALM. The quieter the environment and the minimized noises, the easier it will be for the kitten to enter. As soon as you enter the house, place the pet carrier on the ground, in a secluded place, open the door slowly and observe from a safe distance (escape distance 2-3 meters). Remember that he does not know you and that, therefore, in his eyes, you represent a danger. His concern at this moment is safety and his atavistic instinct constantly sends him danger signals. The reaction, however, is not always immediate and not always the same, a lot also depends on the character of our kitten. There are puppies that need two or more days to relax, while others, more self-confident, already eat and play quietly the same evening. In most cases, however, the kitten remains motionless for several minutes curled up in the bottom of the carrier. Once it is ascertained that everything around him remains quiet, slowly, slowly he gets up and gestures timid steps towards the outside, his belly almost touches the ground and the gait is plush, all his senses are at maximum tension and any noise. even if weak, it makes him jump. With caution he looks out at the exit, towards the outside world and his nose, at the maximum of activity he tries to catch some familiar smell. The whiskers constantly move like radars in all directions and his eyes look for a safe place to hide. Let him do it, give him time to metabolize it all. Do not be tempted to go to meet him, this would be a very wrong move on your part, remember the "escape distance" and respect it. Probably he, after an initial moment of bewilderment, will run to hide in the place that will seem safest to him, under a sofa or under a bed and he will want to stay there until he feels more serene. It must be borne in mind that nature has wanted him this way, distrustful of everything that is unknown and that he must necessarily obey what his instinct imposes on him. Indulge him, always remember that the cat has no owners, the more you try to force him, the more he will rebel against you. He accepts you as you are, but he expects the same from you. You have to think that nature has given him all the weapons to look after himself without anyone's help, so he doesn't even remotely think he needs you. Unlike the dog that needs to belong to a pack in order to live, the cat is an individualist par excellence. His affection is never as obvious as that of the dog, obtaining it is an achievement that once achieved will be the greatest reward for our efforts. So be indifferent, surely in a short time you will see him reappear, always stealthy, but certainly less frightened. The stomach that sooner or later will claim and the innate curiosity of the cat will do the rest, especially if under his little face, the master, will make a ribbon move slowly and slowly and when he approaches, slowly, a friendly hand will gently caress him. It may be that in the face of so much confidence he will try to take refuge again in his hiding place. Nothing wrong with that, from his point of view, prudence is never too much, but if he won't do it and will allow you to keep touching him, know that the best is done at this point. Calmly try to pick him up by lifting him from under the belly and bring him close to the chest. He will sneak under your clothes, feel the heat of your body and your heart beating, just like that of the mother cat and this situation will remind him of when he slept curled up with his siblings. Caress him with confidence, your hand reminds him of the maternal licks, if when you touch his neck you exert a slight squeeze behind the ears you will give him a little thrill of pleasure, in fact, when the cat has to move her kittens, she grabs them with her mouth behind the neck and lifts them. This gesture of love causes the puppy to abandon itself completely. When you feel relaxed, a scratch under the chin will almost certainly trigger the start of a purr concert and a languid gaze will meet your gaze. Now the road is open, the relationship of trust begins to be established, from here to eternal love the step will be short, just abandon yourself in the wonderful eyes of your cat. Good life my puppies !! Karin - Disir Nornir Kennel Written by: Brunetti and Stroscio Veterinary Clinic

Accompagnare empaticamente un animale alla fine della sua vita è la stessa cosa che fargli l’eutanasia? EMPATHIC ACCOMPANIMENT Is empathically accompanying an animal at the end of its life the same as euthanizing it? Article written by Dr. Stefano Cattinelli Veterinarian When we talk about empathic accompaniment at the end of our animal's life it means that we have chosen not to euthanize it but to give it the opportunity to spontaneously die alone, when it wants. "Alone and when he wants" means that there will be no pharmacological help or homeopathic remedy that will anticipate his death but that he will choose when to die. I want to underline this passage because too many times I see that empathic accompaniment is confused with a path that inevitably ends with euthanasia. No! Empathic accompaniment does not end with euthanasia. The empathic accompaniment ends when the animal dies a natural death in his home surrounded by the love of those who accompanied him up to that moment. Accompanying does not mean accompanying him to the vet to do the puncture but it means waiting for him to die when he decides. In this article we will not deal with the issue of pain (already discussed in the following article: https://www.stefanocattinelli.it/single-post/2016/11/13/Le-basi-dellaccompagnamento-empatico-il-dolore ) but we will try to go deeper into the theme of the choice to make and what it means for the animal to die "when I decide or when he decides". Here, just "when I decide or when he decides" is the theme of this article. So let's start, without further preambles, taking into consideration the first part of the sentence and that is the one in which it is I who decide when my pet must die. When it is I who choose for him. If you stop for a moment to reflect on the roles that have always characterized the relationship with my animal, you immediately realize that "interpreting" the role of the one who chooses for the animal is an extremely habitual interior position. I'm used to choosing for him. I choose what to feed him; I choose when to feed him. I choose for him the hours in which we go for a walk, I choose the places where I can leave him free and I choose when to put him on the leash, I choose what kind of surgeries to perform them, what kind of therapy, such as pesticides or supplements and what kind of environment I can offer to make him spend his life in the best possible way. At the origin of the relationship there is always an act, an action, towards him that comes from my choice. Most likely, among the many puppies, I chose him and I also chose his name. Or I chose to confirm the name it already had. Or, even if I met him "casually" along my way, it is I who have chosen to welcome him into my life. “Interpreting” the role of the person who chooses is really used to me in relating with him. This, of course, is an absolute good because the role of those who choose necessarily involves the development of ever greater levels of responsibility towards the animal that lives with me: trivially, starting from the questions I ask myself and the answers I find, I will be able to choose. a type of diet that is as appropriate as possible to the animal's biology and this will increase the animal's state of well-being. The sense of responsibility is directly proportional to the well-being of the animal: the more I am responsible for its life, the more my pet will promote its level of well-being. This is a fixed point in the Human-Animal relationship. We must know, however, that in the event of empathic accompaniment we come across a diametrically opposite experience. Why am I speaking of a diametrically opposite experience? Because empathic accompaniment is the path that guides us towards the experience which, by its nature, is the opposite of life and that is death. It is that last piece of road we travel together, the most difficult, the most intense, the most emotionally engaging, the most devastating and at the same time, if done with awareness and presence, the most harbinger of change and transformation. Paradoxically, the experience of his death, if lived to the full in the accompaniment, can truly represent a turning point in the life of each of us. The first transformation, whether small or large, certainly lies precisely in the fact that at this juncture, since we go towards the experience that is opposite to life, I am asked to experience the exact opposite of what I have experienced up to that moment. . If until now it was I who guided the relationship through my choices, in empathic accompaniment it is my animal who guides me through the mystery of his death. This statement is absolutely not intended to be a provocation but rather represents the fruit of my twenty years of scientific-spiritual research in this field, The more I will be able to abandon those parts of me that want to give direction to the event, that want to control it, that want to choose for the animal and the more the animal will have the opportunity to guide me in the most important event of its existence: the end of our love relationship. After twenty years of experience in this field, I can say with certainty that animals know exactly how to die. Through my attitude of acceptance of what is happening to it, step by step, having progressively abandoned the "controller" that is in me and allowing the animal to enter its last period of life in a fluid and progressive way, here I am I will realize that for the animal, death is really something natural; an event that he deeply accepts starting from the feeling that the physical forces are progressively diminishing. The more we give him the time to get in touch with the decrease in physical strength, the vital energy that runs out and the more we create the basis so that he can "enter" more into the naturalness of his death. Yes, because it is his death that we are talking about. I know it may sound absurd a statement like this ... but he only dies once. So who, once again, has the greatest weight in the unfolding of this event? Choosing to accompany an animal at the end of its life means choosing to "enter" a dimension of wisdom and infinite love that knows exactly the exact moment in which this experience must end. To access this different level of experience, my "controller" has no other option than to leave the command post. And then we will discover that in empathic accompaniment it is not I who decide; but it's not even him! Who "decides" is the Consciousness of the relationship between me and him which moves, with infinite Love, the conclusion of our relationship according to the times and modalities that make sense in my biography. Only by fully going through the experience of my pet's death do I offer myself the possibility of accessing new levels of consciousness. And of Love. Thanks to him.

"Scopri tutto sull'allergia alla Fel d 1, la proteina della saliva del gatto responsabile delle reazioni allergiche. Approfondimenti, soluzioni naturali e il nostro innovativo progetto per ridurre ancor di più , l' allergene dei Gatti Norvegesi delle Foreste. The Cat Allergy Se stai cercando un gatto che non provochi allergie, un gatto anallergico o ipoallergenico, oppure prodotti per ridurre l’allergia al gatto, voglio prima dirti una cosa importante: "capisco perfettamente cosa stai vivendo" Il desiderio di condividere la vita con un gatto, quando c’è di mezzo un’allergia, può sembrare un sogno impossibile, ma nella maggior parte dei casi non è così. Da oltre 20 anni allevo con amore i miei gatti Norvegesi delle Foreste e ho accolto centinaia di persone allergiche; moltissime di loro pensavano di dover rinunciare per sempre a un compagno felino e invece, con le giuste informazioni e le corrette strategie, hanno scoperto che convivere con un gatto è possibile. Esistono gatti anallergici? La risposta sincera è: non esiste una razza totalmente anallergica. Quello che provoca l’allergia non è il pelo, ma una proteina chiamata Fel d1, prodotta principalmente dalla saliva e dalle ghiandole sebacee del gatto. Quando il gatto si lecca, la proteina si deposita sul mantello e poi si diffonde nell’ambiente. 👉 Alcuni gatti producono molto meno Fel d1 rispetto ad altri. 👉 La produzione di allergene è influenzata da fattori genetici e ormonali. 👉 I maschi interi producono più allergene rispetto ai gatti sterilizzati. Ecco perché si parla più correttamente di gatti a bassa produzione di Fel d1, non di gatti “anallergici”. Quali razze sono considerate ipoallergeniche? Studi condotti su diverse razze hanno evidenziato che in alcune linee genetiche si riscontrano livelli più bassi di Fel d1. Tra le razze più citate: Gatto Siberiano Gatto Norvegese delle Foreste Gatto Abissino Questo non significa che tutti gli esemplari siano adatti a ogni persona allergica. Ogni soggetto allergico reagisce in modo diverso. Per questo il test diretto in presenza è sempre il metodo più affidabile. Come funziona un test allergico in allevamento? Il modo più realistico per capire se puoi convivere con un gatto è semplice: trascorrere almeno un’ora in ambiente chiuso con i gatti adulti. Nel mio allevamento, questo momento è gratuito ed è pensato come un’esperienza serena, non come una prova di coraggio. La maggior parte delle reazioni a Fel d1 si manifesta entro 15–30 minuti. È importante: portare con sé eventuali farmaci (antistaminici, inalatori, colliri) evitare di assumere antistaminici prima della visita (previo parere medico) ripetere la prova in giorni diversi se possibile Questo approccio è molto più attendibile rispetto ai semplici test su campioni di pelo. Perché alcune persone allergiche tollerano certi gatti? L’allergia al gatto può coinvolgere diversi allergeni: Fel d1 (il principale responsabile) Fel d2 (albumina felina) Fel d4 (lipocalina) Alcune persone reagiscono solo a Fel d1, altre a più allergeni contemporaneamente. Chi è allergico a cavalli o conigli, ad esempio, può essere sensibile alle lipocaline. Ecco perché non esiste una risposta universale, ma esiste un percorso personalizzato. È possibile ridurre l’allergene del gatto? Sì. E questa è la parte più importante. Oggi sappiamo che la quantità di Fel d1 nell’ambiente può essere ridotta in modo significativo attraverso: ✔ Sterilizzazione Riduce la produzione ormonale e abbassa i livelli di allergene. ✔ Gestione dell’ambiente Lettiera pulita quotidianamente Sabbie a bassa polverosità e senza profumo Aspirapolvere con filtro HEPA Aerazione frequente degli ambienti ✔ Cura del mantello Passare un panno umido sul pelo Bagno periodico (se il gatto lo tollera) Utilizzo di prodotti specifici come Allerpet ✔ Alimentazione mirata Esistono oggi protocolli alimentari specifici in grado di ridurre dal 30% al 50% la produzione di Fel d1 nel gatto. Se stai cercando prodotti per ridurre l’allergia al gatto, oppure soluzioni naturali e nutrizionali per abbassare l’allergene, puoi contattarmi per ricevere informazioni aggiornate. Esiste un vaccino per l’allergia al gatto? L’immunoterapia specifica (comunemente chiamata “vaccino antiallergico”) è una terapia medica prescritta dall’allergologo, che può aiutare il sistema immunitario a tollerare l’allergene nel tempo. È sempre fondamentale confrontarsi con uno specialista prima di prendere decisioni. E ora.... Se sei arrivato fin qui, probabilmente ami profondamente i gatti. E forse ti sei sentito dire che “non puoi averne uno”. La verità è che ogni situazione è diversa. Con informazioni corrette, test fatti seriamente e strategie personalizzate, moltissime persone allergiche oggi vivono felicemente con il proprio gatto. Non sei solo. E non devi rinunciare al tuo sogno senza aver esplorato tutte le possibilità. 📌 Se vuoi ricevere aggiornamenti su: gatti a bassa produzione di allergene percorsi alimentari per ridurre Fel d1 test allergici in allevamento soluzioni pratiche per convivere con un gatto nonostante l’allergia... 👉👉👉 contattami direttamente.

il Pedigree è la carta di identità del gatto, non un titolo nobiliare.

I'm interested in the cat ... why do I have to spend 1000 euros to get a sheet of paper when with 200-300-400 euros I can still have a Norwegian? I will try to explain it to you as clearly and as briefly as possible.

The pedigree is the identity card of the cat, where it is written who are the parents, it is only through the pedigree that you can prove who your puppy is from and therefore being able to say it is a "purebred" cat here is the LAW! DLG 529/1992: ART. 5 ----------------------- Having a cat that has pedigree gives you 4 guarantees: 1 l breeder giving you the puppy: did not mate the parents in consanguinity because in the pedigree this would be seen. 2 the father and mother are really 2 Norwegians of the Forests, and your puppy is not the result of crosses with cats that are clearly not purebred are not tested, checked and vaccinated. 3 there is no exploitation to the detriment of the health of female cats in that breeding. 4 the animal was born and raised in Italy; often behind the sold-out animals there is the trafficking of illegally imported specimens ... and of these there are more those who die during transport than those who come to have a master ... removed from their mothers too soon, crammed into some truck with hallucinating journeys ... diseases ...... etc ---- WORTH IT FOR A FEW HUNDREDS OF EURO continue to foment this thing? IF THERE WERE NO REQUEST THESE THINGS WOULD NOT HAPPEN! 5 The parents of the pedigreed puppy must have filed the genetic tests in ANFI that attest to the absence of some genetic pathologies. These tests are MANDATORY in order to obtain the release of the pedigree, without which ANFI does not produce them. 6 The parents of the pedigreed puppy are COMPULSORY microchipped, in this way, there is real traceability and it is possible to prove the genealogy, therefore your cat is really a descendant of the Norwegian forest cats. ------------------ 1 -What does inbreeding involve in your future puppy? these are some of the main diseases not visible at the time of purchase: Teeth alignment _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b94d-136bcc5-3194-bb589094-136bcc5-3194-bb589094-136b -136bad5cf58d_ Cataract _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb589094 -5904bad5c3-3194-bb589094_bad5c3-3194-bb589094bad5c5c Deafness Gangliosidosis GM1 _cc781905-5cde-3194cf58d-136bcc5-3194c5-bb58c5-3194c5-bb3badb 136bad5cf58d_ Gangliosidosis GM2 _cc781905-5cde-3194cf58d-136bcc5-3194c5-bb3-badd5-136b58c5-3194c5-bb3badb 136bad5cf58d_ Haemophilia A and B _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-84c5-badd-136b58c5-3194c3b-136cc5-3194-bb3b-136b bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Cleft lip and cleft palate _cc781905-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905__3bcde-3194bdcc3 bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Hyperoxaluria Patella Dislocation _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb589094-136bcc3-3194-bb589094-136bcc5__ -136bad5cf58d_ Spasticism _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b_ 136bad5cf and much more 2 -what involves buying a crossbred cat, which clearly cannot be vaccinated, uncontrolled with untested cats: Feline leukemia; Viral immunodeficiency syndrome or fiv and much more .... And to conclude: 3- Often, the sale of puppies without pedigree, as an excuse, hides the exploitation of the mother cat, causing her to give birth several times a year ... ANFI tries to limit the problem of the production of kittens "in battery" by imposing a limit of only 3 litters in 2 calendar years for each bitch of a breeding farm (Article 17 Breeding Regulations and Origins Books): if a cat is made to give birth more often, ANFI does not allow the registration of puppies and, consequently, the issue of pedigree. When a breeder or private vi proposes the purchase of a cat without pedigree, know that, by accepting, you are probably contributing to the exploitation of a cat in her third, fourth, fifth pregnancy in a year!

colorazione dei gatti norvegesi, silver, smoke, shaded, causati da un gene che scolora il pelo partendo dalla base, colorandolo dei toni dell argento. ( esistono 2 teorie) SILVER AND SMOKE "Il gene that makes the Norwegians shine" In some Norwegian cats the brindle design contrasts, instead of on the usual yellowish background on a background white / bright silver; in others, when they walk, the hair opening reveals the sparkle of an icy fog. These cats are always a sight e depending on the design of the coat called_bsc7905-bbc3b3-81d81-3194b9905-bbc3cc3-3194bd81-136b905-3194bd81-136bcc3 -136bad5cf58d_ (smoke), _ cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Silver (silver), _ cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d7_Shaded5-136bad5cf58d_Shaded5-136bad5cf58d_Shaded5 Whatever name they are given, they all have one feature in common: the presence of a gene that makes the pigment at the base of the hair disappear completely, the area closest to the skin of cats where the hair is already normally less densely colored due to the effect of body heat on the melanin granules. The gene in question is dominant, and is indicated with the letter "I" capital Smoke, Silver and Shaded obviously can exist on all colors of Norwegians. Below you will see a large gallery of images. SMOKE: Cats are called "Smoke" in which the "I" gene, which discolours the hair at the base, is present on a "NOT TIGERED" cat The root of the hair (from 1/3 to half of the length) is silver white, while the rest is colored: the stationary cat seems to be solid in color, only when it moves can you see the contrast at the base of the hair. Often one can notice a gray shade of the black fur which forms a rich silver colored ruff. Smoke puppies often have a brindle pattern (phantom brindle), which usually disappears within the first year of life. SILVER Cats are called Silver in which the "I" gene that discolors the hair at the base is present on a "TIGRATO" cat The tab design which often includes darker and lighter bands, usually yellowish, in the presence of the silver gene, _cc781905-5cde-3194-bbcfb-136d of a very bright ice white, on which the design will stand out in a particular way. Often on puppies, up to the age of 5/6 weeks is not easily recognizable. Photo gallery of SMOKE cats with and without white Photo gallery of SILVER cats with and without white Hints of Genetics Feline genetics: a combinatorial approach Massimo Picardello University of Rome “Tor Vergata” Department of Mathematics 00133 Rome, Ital y The silver colors (smoke, silver). We now turn to the silver-colored varieties: smoke, silver tabby, shaded silver and chinchilla (and their pheomelanistic equivalents, sometimes called cameo). In these varieties, the base of the hair is depigmented, silver white, without traces of reddish tones. In some silver tabbies, however, the color reaches the root of the hair in the brindle areas. Silver tabbies are brindle cats whose agouti areas are a livid silver hue, with high contrast to brindle. Chinchillas have no traces of branding (in the case of an ideal specimen), and only the tips of the hair are colored (tipping). In shaded, the color on the tips of the hair covers about one third of the length (often less). In the smoke, the silver part is between a third and the initial half of the hair, the rest is colored. The one-gene theory In the past, a single main gene, , was considered responsible for silver colors. indicated with I (inhibitor), responsible for the braking action on the production of pigment and also for the elimination of the reddish shades typical of eumelanistic colors, especially in the agouti areas of brown tabbies. The mechanism by which a single gene can produce such different color varieties is as follows. Smokes are non-agouti cats, and the I gene lightens and bruises the base of the coat, giving it a pure silver color, evenly over the whole body. The braking action of the pigmentation produced by this gene can be limited to about a third of the hair, or be greater, reaching the middle of the hair or slightly beyond. All other silver varieties are agouti. Chinchillas and shaded are agouti with a ticked pattern. (Important warning: Chinchilla or shaded silver puppies often display a mackerel or classic [= blotched] phantom pattern, which disappears as they grow. This does not mean that these puppies are not genetically ticked. Ghost bands are common in ticked puppies: ad for example, they are sometimes seen in the Abyssinians. At most, the presence of phantom stripes may be an indication that the cub is heterozygous for the ticked pattern, but this is not necessarily true). Gene I lightens the base of the hair, but without its effect the hair would not have been all pigmented: there would have been various agouti bands, lighter. The action of I brightens the brown tones of these bands and transforms them into silver as well. Since the lightening due to the inhibition at the base combines with the further silvering of the agouti bands above the cut level of the inhibitory action, the percentage of silver hair extends, and reaches about two thirds in the case that the gene I operate in a mild way (shaded silver), and on all the hair except the tip (the last band of color of the ticked hair) in case the action of I is accentuated (chinchilla). That the chinchilla and shaded silver of eumelanistic colors are agouti is also clear from the fact that the skin of their nose is brick red (or deep pink) with the typical external border of brindle. Finally, the silver tabbies are brindle with a classic (blotched) or mackerel / spotted pattern. it is clear that the action of gene I is much more visible on the agouti areas than on the markings of the brindle, and this gives rise to the brindle design with very high contrast. But just by examining the silver tabbies we see that the genetic explanation of silver colors cannot be based on a single gene. In fact, if this were the case, the brindle markings should be lightened at the base, as in the smoke. But if on the one hand we see silver tabbies of this type, on the other hand we see many others in which the color reaches the root in the brindle areas. Geneticist Roy Robinson, in his well-known book Genetics for Cat Breeders (Cambridge, 1972, 2nd edition), suggests that on brindle areas the action of color filling overpowers silver lightening. But this seems strange, given that on smoke, where the same action occurs on the whole body, the opposite occurs. In any case, it would not be possible to explain why in some silver tabbies there is basic lightening in the brindle areas and in others not. The two-gene theory The most modern theories - see the articles by J. Jerome, TICA Trend vol. 13 n. 6 (Dec. 1992 / Jan. 1993) pg. 14 and TICA Yearbook 12 (1991), pg. 218- assert that two distinct genes act on silver, one responsible for the inhibition of the pigmentation at the base of the hair, the other for the elimination of reddish tones (bleaching, bleaching). We will call this second gene the "silver gene" (Sv). The inhibition gene, on the other hand, we will indicate with I, warning the reader on the fact that some recent texts denote with Sh the mild form of the inhibition gene, responsible for the shaded mantle, and with Ch the intense form, responsible for the chinchilla mantle . But there is insufficient evidence that the difference between the two effects is due to two alleles of the inhibiting gene rather than the action of a group of supporting polygens, and indeed the transition from shaded to chinchilla mantle is quite gradual. than net. Therefore we will not refer here to the alleles Sh and Ch, confident that the reader can now easily adapt the conclusions to the context of articles or books that instead refer to them. Therefore, in these notes we do not distinguish genotypically shaded silvers and chinchilla, attributing the difference to secondary polygens. At this point, the correspondence between the color varieties seen above and their genotypes is clear: Smoke: aa I- Sv - Shaded silver and chinchilla: A- TaTa I- Sv - Silver tabby mackerel / spotted: A- TT I- Sv - if the root of the hair in the brindle areas is silver (silver tabby shell or shaded, depending on whether the silvering is accentuated or reduced); branding is not silver. Silver tabby classic (blotched): A- TT ii Sv - if the hair root in the areas of A- tbtb I- Sv - if the root of the hair in the brindle areas is silver (silver tabby shell or shaded, depending on whether the silvering is accentuated or reduced); branding is not silver. A- tbtb ii Sv - if the hair root in the areas of We have indicated the ticked design gene in shaded and chinchilla as homozygous because the dominance of the design genes is only partial. For example, the TaT combination produces a hybrid design, with diffuse ticking partially superimposed on a mackerel design (mainly on the legs and tail, but often a little also on the flanks). If this is the genotype, the uniformity of the tipping is lost. Of course, cats with these characteristics would still be registered as shaded or chinchilla, but their color would be less consistent with the standard. It should be noted that an ideal silver tabby does not need the action of the inhibition gene I to achieve a perfect contrast between base areas and stripes. In fact, the silver Sv gene lightens and transforms the agouti bands of the hair in the base areas into a pure silver color, which therefore results silvery and livid. Furthermore, the absence of the shading gene I causes the brindle areas to be intensely colored up to the root, increasing the contrast, especially on black silver tabbies, where the elimination of reddish tones makes the black color more intense. is alive. Other color varieties predicted by the two-gene theory; the golden If we substituted genotype I- with genotype ii in shaded and chinchilla, we would obtain A- TaTa ii Sv-. Phenotypically, these cats should be silver ticked tabby in the variant ii, not shaded, that is, with a black band at the beginning of the hair, in contact with the skin. However, it does not appear that these cats were ever produced (see below for further comments). Similarly, if you do the same in the smoke, you get aa ii Sv-, which phenotypically corresponds to solid cats but without traces of rufousing, that is, reddish shades of the hair in eumelanistic colors, or warm tones in pheomelanistic colors. These cats can be obtained by crossing silvers heterozygous for the I gene. If cats of this type are then further crossed with each other, kittens of genotype ii sv sv can be born. From a line of smokes (non-agouti), normal solids are obtained in this case; from a line of shadeds or chinchillas, let's say homozygous agouti AA TaTa, normal ticked tabbies are obtained (like the Abyssinians; however all the shaded and chinchillas are selected against rufousing, that is in favor of polygens of redness of the hair that favor the more bruised, and therefore cannot be expected to obtain, from shaded parents or heterozygous chinchilla Ii Sv sv, ticked tabby puppies with warm reddish tones of the Abyssinians). But if instead shaded or chinchilla heterozygous for Sv and the inhibitor gene I are crossed, it will be possible to obtain puppies with the I-sv sv genotype. These puppies will be ticked tabby with the base of the hair lighter, but without the bruises produced by the sv gene (but still with not too bright reddish tones, due to the polygenic selection against rufousing). The base shade will be gold instead of red. This variety of color, in the eumelanistic versions, is called shaded golden. The corresponding pheomelanistic varieties are too close in phenotype to red (or cream) ticked tabbies to be classified as a variety in their own right. Similarly, golden tabbies can be obtained by crossing silver tabbies heterozygous for the Sv gene. Here are the genotypes of golden, compared to those of brown tabbies: Shaded golden and chinchilla golden (golden shell): A- TaTa I- sv sv Golden tabby mackerel / spotted: A- TT I- sv sv (note that the root of the hair in the brindle areas is depigmented: golden tabby shell or shaded, depending on whether the depigmentation is accentuated or reduced); Brown mackerel / spotted tabby: A- TT ii sv sv (the root of the hair in the brindle areas is not depigmented.); Golden classic (blotched) tabby: A-tbtb I-sv sv (note that the root of the hair in the brindle areas is depigmented: golden tabby shell or shaded, depending on whether the depigmentation is accentuated or reduced); Brown classic (blotched) tabby: A- tbtb ii sv sv (the root of the hair in the brindle areas is not depigmented.). Unverified predictions of the two-gene theory The reader must be warned that this genetic pattern is not entirely satisfactory. In fact, from it we deduce the existence of phenotypes not observed so far. For example, the aa I-sv sv genotype should correspond to a "golden smoke", ie a smoke with a base color of gold rather than silver. But to date, a cat with the color of golden but non-agouti has not been produced. Therefore, it may be assumed that the sv gene is inactivated on non-agouti cats. In this case, the genotypic difference between solid eumelanistic cats with or without traces of rufousing would be due only to the action of polygens. As already observed, also for the silvers (not golden) there is a dubious phenotype: the one corresponding to the genotype A- TaTa ii Sv-. It should be silver cats but not shaded, that is without depigmentation at the base, and with ticked design. As already observed, under the action of gene I the agouti bands become silver, and for example it is possible to see the effect of multiple alternating silver and black bands in the agouti areas of the black silver tabbies mackerel or blotched not depigmented at the base. But in case the design is ticked, we should have a phenotype with all the fur with alternating silver and black bands, and black at the base (in case the base color is black, of course). It is not known that cats of this type were ever produced. It can perhaps be assumed that the Sv gene is active only if gene I is active, and in fact it modifies and reinforces its action. The two additional assumptions we have made in this section in order to "rescue" the two-gene theory are equivalent to assuming that the entire Sv / sv allelic series is inactive except if gene I is present. No research has been done yet. experimental enough to confirm this conjecture. The theory of the golden factor If this last conjecture is true, in fact the two-gene theory becomes equivalent to another genetic model, which was introduced before the theory based on two independent genes. In this previous model, golden were explained by introducing, however, an additional gene g, whose epistatic action causes golden color instead of silver at the base of the silver coat (as is done to explain the Maltese dilution starting from gene B, with the addition of an epistatic gene d). The dominant allele G has no effect (does not cause a golden color at the base). Finally, it should be noted that the Sv gene causes a lack of rufousing in eumelanistic colors, but much less in pheomelanistic ones. There are red smokes and red shaded silvers whose tipping is quite hot red (especially in smokes). The golden theory = brown ticked tabby Another genetic scheme that was considered consisted in identifying the golden ones with simple cats of ticked tabby color (whose design is ticked all over, without any stripe of brindle; in TICA it is called "agouti tabby"). In fact, because the color of the coat is sensitive to temperature, it is almost always true that ticked tabby cats have a lighter coat base (open the coat of an Abyssinian!), And often the golden and ticked tabby phenotypes are difficult. to distinguish. Faced with the difficulties indicated above, deriving from the two-gene model of silver colors, this simple conjecture that golden is nothing other than ticked tabby is suggestive. In fact, the only phenotypic trait that this theory does not explain is the fact that some ticked tabbies are not very clear at the base while others (the golden ones) are very clear, but perhaps the difference could be attributed to the action of a group. of modifier polygens. Despite the difficulties, however, we will continue the discussion based on the two-gene theory, because it gives the most satisfactory explanation for the existence of two types of silver tabbies: those with black tabby areas up to the root and those with depigmented tabby areas. at the base of the hair. However, we observe that, as regards the most important phenotypic traits, this theory that identifies golden with ticked tabbies provides the same percentages of probability for crosses as the two-gene theory. The Broadband Gene Theory Finally, alternative theories have recently been considered in which two genes appear, but with different effects from what has been said above (contributions by H. Lorrimer on the Internet Fancier's List, March-April 1995). In fact, one gene is still the silvering (rufousing elimination) silver gene, but the other would be a gene that causes broadening of the light bands in agouti hair, called wide-band (Wb). However, it should be noted that, due to the large degree of variability in the length of the tipping, it would be more appropriate to speak of a group of broadband branding polygens. In this theory, the problem related to the fact that golden are only agouti (golden smokes are not observed) is obviously solved, but on the other hand the smokes are not explained, which are not only silver (i.e. without rufousing), but also lightened at the base. As these are non-agouti cats, this aspect of their phenotype cannot be due to genes that widen the clear agouti bands. On the other hand, a variant of this theory can be used to justify a theory advanced in some books: that chinchillas and shaded silver are not necessarily of ticked design. The ticked design, together with the silver inhibiting action, ensures that the color is limited to the tip of the hair (tipping). For g | the other designs this would not be the case, and furthermore the length of the tipping would be far from uniform. But if the agouti bands were dilated by a group of wide-band polygens, and then silvered by the silver gene, then the tipping would be confined to the tip of the hair, and there would be an acceptable degree of uniformity. The theory [golden = brown ticked tabby + broadband polygens]: finally an exhaustive genetic model for smoke, silver and golden! Let us return to the theory that identifies the shaded golden and ticked tabby color varieties. This is 19 the most satisfactory theory we have encountered, except for the crucial circumstance which does not explain the partial depigmentation at the base of the hair, a fundamental characteristic of the shaded golden phenotype. On the other hand, there are many cats registered as golden and with varying degrees of depigmentation, some even with almost no depigmentation ... Therefore it must be assumed that shaded golden depigmentation is not the effect of a main gene with net action. (or depigmentation or full color), but the result of the gradual (and sometimes very reduced) action of a set of polygens. But there is already a candidate for this group of polygens: the broadband modifiers introduced in the previous section. Then shaded golds would be nothing more than ticked tabby with broadband base brightening (aside from eye color, which we'll talk about later). If so, everything is fine: the golden must be tabby (no golden smokes!) And partially depigmented at the base (but the amount of depigmentation varies from one specimen to another depending on how much the effects of the individual modifier genes are added together. broadband). Naturally, in this theory the ideal shaded golden results result from crosses of shaded silver heterozygous for the silver and homozygous for the ticked pattern. What if the shaded silver parents are heterozygous also for the ticked drawing? For example, parents might carry the mackerel factor. In this case, if instead of being silver they were brown tabby (no silver), the parents would have brindle lines on the legs, chest and tail, due to the partial dominance of the ticked allele on the mackerel. But as they are shaded ilver, the branding lines will be there, but they will be faint. And in fact, there are some shaded silvers with faint traces of branding (especially from puppies, before the agouti gene reaches maximum effect). However, their golden kittens are not silver, they are brown ticked tabby, and if they carry the mackerel allele the bruises will be clearly visible on the paws, a very undesirable feature in shaded golden, but frequent. To complete the picture, the broadband modifiers transform the other designs (spotted, mackerel and classic) into the corresponding golden varieties (golden spotted tabby, golden mackerel tabby and golden classic tabby respectively), in which the agouti areas are partially depigmented at the base and have warm apricot tones. Now we finally have a satisfying golden theory. However, in order to be compatible with the silver one, it is necessary to review and correct the latter. We can no longer hypothesize two genes for silver, one for depigmentation and the other for silvering. Instead we have to go back to the one-gene theory, an inhibitory gene that we will continue to call I and that simultaneously causes silvering and depigmentation, as in smokes, for example. It should be noted that the golden genotype is not due to gene I (indeed the golden ones are heterozygous ii): the depigmentation at the base of the golden hair is instead due to the elongation of the first agouti band due to the action of the broadband modifier genes. We do not introduce a distinct main gene that causes depigmentation, otherwise, as we have seen, the theory would predict the non-existent golden smokes (golden non agouti, depigmented at the base of the hair). On the other hand, it would seem at first glance that this loses the brilliant explanation that the two-gene theory gave regarding the fact that some silver tabbies are depigmented at the root of the hair in the brindle areas and others are not. But this genetic trait can be explained in some other way. The gradual level of depigmentation at the base of the hair in the brindle areas may be caused by modifier genes similar (or possibly identical) to broadband modifiers, whose action is limited to tabby cats. With a slight conceptual abuse we can imagine that these additional modifiers belong to the same group as the broadband polygens (in reality this is not the case, because the latter act on the agouti base areas while the former act on the brindle areas: but in reality they meet many golden in which broadband depigmentation also occurs on the areas of tabby marks ...). In summary, compared to the two-gene theory our new genetic model retains the inhibitor gene I (which is now considered responsible for both depigmentation and silvering, as in the one-gene theory), and replaces the second gene with a group of polygens. , which we will denote by Wb (for "wide-band"). What is particularly satisfying is the fact that the gradual action of broadband modifiers can explain the difference between the shaded silver and chinchilla phenotypes. Unfortunately, however, we are assuming that these are polygens, which therefore are not subject to the simple and direct rules of Mendelian genetics for the main genes. In order to analyze the mathematics of this new model it is necessary to resort to statistics, the results of which are too fine to be clearly distinguished in the phenotypes. Therefore it is not easy to present the results by means of cross tables. Silver and golden It should be noted that the deepening of the single gene theory presented in the previous section, as well as the variant introduced previously, excludes the possibility of cats at the same time silver and golden: the silver phenotype is a consequence of the inhibitory gene, which the golden they do not have. Both shaded silver and golden have broadband type color suppression or lightening genes, or polygenic modifiers of the same type. In the latest version of the theory that we presented immediately above, the golden pattern is caused by the suppression action of this type of genes superimposed on hairs with already banded coloring due to the Agouti gene: thus, if the tabby design is the ticked, you get the perfect golden pattern, uniform throughout, but if the design is mackerel, spotted or (even worse) blotched, then more or less large areas of tabby marks become evident with full color, not very lightened, only orange in color in the band at the base. These patterns could be classified as golden tabby (mackerel, spotted or blotched, respectively). Since in such cases the areas where the coat has a broad golden base are less broad, these phenotypes are more difficult to determine with certainty, particularly in kittens, especially if they are phantom patterns in young cats due to heterozygous tabby genotypes with a only ticked allele, and some origins books (for example that of TICA) do not recognize them. Finally, it should be noted that the action of broadband suppression genes creates long agouti bands of pheomelanistic color, which are difficult, if not impossible, to recognize on cats of already pheomelanistic base color. If the lightening band is not long this is easier, just like in the case of the tortie ticked tabby pattern. Eye color of shaded and golden: an example of persistence? In relation to the similarity between golden and ticked tabbies, it should be remembered that in ticked tabbies the color of the eyes is gold or copper (in the case of Persians) or also hazel or yellow or yellow-green or green (in the Abyssinians). In the shaded silver or chinchilla of eumelanistic colors the eye color is not gold or copper, but emerald or blue-green. Instead, in the shaded silver or chinchilla of pheomelanistic colors, the eye color is copper. With appropriate crossings and consequent selection, it has been possible to introduce the gold or copper color in the eumelanistic shaded silver: the corresponding standard, recognized by some feline associations but not all, is called black shaded (in England, pewter). So the difference between an eumelanistic golden and the corresponding ticked tabby, although it may be barely visible in the color of the hair, is still evident in the color of the eyes, emerald in the first but not in the second. In silver tabbies, on the other hand, the eyes are green or yellow-green or gold, with a preference for green. In the shaded and in the pheomelanistic silver tabbies the color of the eyes is copper, and in the corresponding tortoiseshell varieties it can be copper or emerald (shaded) or green (silver tabby), with preference for copper. The existence of black shaded with gold eyes reveals that the emerald color of the eyes is not caused by the silver gene. It is interesting to observe that, although the color of the eyes, emerald or copper, is largely determined by a main gene, it is not common to meet eumelanistic shaded silvers with copper eyes: the emerald color occurs more frequently. So, although the color of the eyes and the hair depend on different genes, somehow there is a persistent link between the shaded silver coat and the emerald color of the eyes. This link is perhaps due to the fact that the main genes that cause this eye coloring are located on the same chromosome as the genes that cause the shaded silver color of the coat, and therefore the genetic transmission of one and the other occurs together. A situation of this type, which is called persistence, modifies the probabilities of concomitant genetic transmission of the two genes, which are very different from what they would be for two independent genes. To break the persistence, in fact, it is necessary that in the close contact of the two homologous chromosomes during the pairing that precedes meiosis, a genetic recombination takes place, that is a molecular exchange between the two chromosomes. The action of the I and Sv genes is epistatic on that of the solid color, eumelanistic and pheomelanistic genes, but not on that of the white (W) and piebald spot (S) genes. Obviously, the W- B- A- TaTa I- Sv- genotype corresponds to a phenotype in which white masks the shaded silver color on the coat, but the eye color can be either blue (due to the depigmentation action that the gene W can exert on eye color) or emerald.
