Try to determine your cat's breed (or breeds), as certain health
conditions have genetic links. For example, Persians and
Abyssinians tend to be at risk for kidney problems, which are
manageable if diagnosed early.read more For decades, researchers
studying humans and other animals have been analyzing how the
shape of an individual’s face can predict behavior. As you might
imagine, such facial profiling is highly controversial, but
elements of it are rooted in scientific fact. Many studies show
that hormones like testosterone, which can affect behavior, also
influence bone structure. But if you factor in genetics tied to
a certain cat breed, the predictions aren’t as clear. In The Cat
Behavior Answer Book: Practical Insights & Proven Solutions for
Your Feline Questions, however, author Arden Moore shares how
Kit Jenkins, program manager for PetSmart Charities, developed a
theory of cat face geometry after more than two decades of
study. Jenkins includes the following three basic cat facial
shapes in her theor
