ʻO ka pōpoki Bombay kahi puma ʻeleʻele liʻiliʻi e purrs i kou ʻūhā. No ke aha cougar? Poepoe, melemele, me he mea lā e piʻo ana nā maka a me nā hulu ʻeleʻele, akā he aha ka mea ma laila, he ihu ʻeleʻele kona!
ʻOiai ka inoa, ʻaʻohe mea e pili ai i India, a ʻike ʻia i kēia manawa, i nā makahiki 50 o ke kenekulia i hala. ʻO kēia pōpoki ka hopena o kahi hoʻokolohua keʻa kūleʻa ma waena o nā pōpoki Burmese a me ʻAmelika Shorthair.
Inā he pōpoki kāu, a makemake paha ʻoe e kūʻai, a laila mai ka ʻatikala e aʻo ai ʻoe: ka mōʻaukala o ka lāhui, ke ʻano, nā hiʻohiʻona o ka mālama a me ka mālama.
Mōʻaukala o ka lāhui
Hānai ʻia ka hānau pōpoki Bombay i nā makahiki 50, ma ʻAmelika, Kentucky. Ua moemoeā ʻo Breeder Niki Horner e hana i kope o kahi cougar ʻeleʻele, a hele aʻe i kahi pōpoki Burmese a me kahi pōkole ʻAmelika.
A ʻaʻole kēia mau moeʻuhane hakahaka, ʻoiai ʻo 16 ia i hānai i nā Shorthairs ʻAmelika, Burmese a me nā ʻano hānau ʻē aʻe.
Akā makemake ʻo ia i mea hou, ke nānā aku nei i kona lauoho ʻeleʻele, ua noʻonoʻo ʻo ia i kahi pōpoki e like me ka panther.
ʻO ka hana nui e hōʻoia i ka maka o ka pōpoki me nā maka keleawe keleawe a me ke ahiahi, ka ʻeleʻele, a ʻaʻole ʻeleʻele e like me nā hoʻāʻo mua.
ʻO ka hoʻāʻo mua ke keʻa ma waena o ka pōpoki Burmese a me ka pōpokiʻeleʻele ʻAmelika Shorthair.
Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole i lilo i kūleʻa, ua lilo nā keiki kope i kope kūleʻa o ka American Shorthair.
Ua mākaukau ʻoi ʻo Nicky no ka hoʻāʻo lua. Ke ʻimi nei ʻo ia i kahi paʻa kūpono a noho hope i kahi pōpoki pōkoleʻeleʻele me nā maka ʻōlinolino a ʻo kekahi o nā poʻokela ʻoi loa o ka lāhui Burmese. Ma hope o nā hoʻāʻo a me nā holomua ʻole, ua loaʻa iā Horner ka mea āna i makemake ai.
He pōpoki i hoʻoilina i ka Burmese build a me ka lole pōkole, nā maka ʻalani alohilohi o ka American Shorthair, a me kahi kapa mānoanoa, ʻeleʻele.
Ua kapa ʻia ʻo Bombay, ma hope o ke kūlanakauhale India a me ka ʻāina kahi e noho ai nā panther ʻeleʻele. Akā ke hana nei i kahi laha hou, ʻoiai he mea kupaianaha ia, ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo e ʻike ʻia mai nā ipo aloha, a ʻoi aku ka nui mai nā hui.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole i ʻae ʻia e komo i ka hoʻokūkū hoʻokūkū, paʻakikī loa e kaulana i ka honua.
Ua hoʻomau kēia a hiki i ka 1970, i kona manawa i hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia ai me ka CFA (The Cat Fanciers Association).
Ua ʻae kēia iā Nicky Horner e hoʻopaʻa inoa i kāna lāʻau a ma kahi o hoʻokahi haneli o kāna mau pōpoki.
Umikūmāwalu mau makahiki ma hope o kona hoʻomaka ʻana i kāna mau hoʻokolohua, ma ka lā Mei 1, 1976, ua hāʻawi ʻia ka pōpoki i ka manawa kūpono e hoʻokūkū i ka mahele kiʻekiʻe loa.
I kēia lā ua ʻike ʻia ia i loko o nā hui felinological alakaʻi āpau, ʻoiai ʻaʻole pālahalaha.
Wahi a nā helu helu CFA, koho ʻo ia i ka 35th i ka helu o nā pōpoki i hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia, ma waho o nā ʻano he 42.
Wehewehe
Hoʻohālike lākou i nā panther ʻeleʻele liʻiliʻi me nā maka melemele, ka ʻaʻahu hinuhinu, a me ke kino lithe. He pōpoki kaulike maikaʻi ia me kahi kino muscular.
No ko lākou liʻiliʻi, kaumaha kaumaha lākou. Kūlike nā wāwae i ke kino, e like me ka huelo, pololei a kaulike i ka lōʻihi.
Kaupaona ʻia nā pōpoki makua mai 3.5 a 4.5 kg, a me nā pōpoki mai 2.5 a 3.5 kg.
Poepoe ko lākou poʻo, me ka ʻole o nā kihi ʻoi a me nā kaha haʻi. Pālahalaha nā maka a poepoe. Kūlike nā pepeiao i ka nui, maʻalahi, ʻūlū iki i mua, ākea ma ke kumu a me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo āpau.
ʻO ke ola ke ola ma kahi o 16 mau makahiki.
Hiki i kēia mau pōpoki ke lilo i hoʻokahi kala - ʻeleʻele. ʻO kaʻaʻahu nani, aniani e moe kokoke ana i ke kino, pōkole, ʻōlinolino.
ʻEleʻele hoʻi ka piko o kona ihu a me nā pale wāwae.
ʻAe ʻia ka crossbreeding me ka black American shorthaired a me Burmese.
ʻAno
Ua like ke ʻano o ka pōpoki Bombay me ko ka ʻīlio. Hoʻopili lākou i hoʻokahi kanaka, hoʻomaʻa i kāna ʻano a me nā ʻano.
He mau hoa aloha maikaʻi lākou, e noho lākou ma kou uha no nā hola, makemake lākou e noho pū me nā poʻe.
Makemake lākou e hāhai iā ʻoe a puni ke keʻena, pono lākou i ke aniani a me ka ʻike. Akamai, aʻo lākou i nā hoʻopunipuni me ka maʻalahi a me ke aloha e pāʻani. Hiki iā lākou ke lawe mai i nā mea i kiola ʻia e ʻoe, e like me ka ʻīlio.
Hoʻohui maikaʻi lākou me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe, me nā ʻīlio hoʻi. Kūleʻa nui lākou, a inā kani lākou i ka bel o ka puka, holo koke lākou iā ia. Ma hope o nā mea āpau, maopopo leʻa kēia mau pōpoki i hele mai lākou e kipa iā lākou a ʻaʻohe mea ʻē aʻe.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, e aloha lākou iā ʻoe i kahi ala e ʻānai ai i ko lākou mau wāwae a purr. Aloha lākou i nā mea ʻelua, a me ka hiamoe ʻana i ka moena like me nā mea ʻona, no laila pono ʻoe e mākaukau no kēia.
Hele maikaʻi pū lākou me nā keiki inā ʻaʻole lākou e hoʻoweliweli iā lākou. Akā i kēia hihia, hoʻāʻo lākou e heʻe hewa aku i mea ʻole e ʻeha ai. A no laila, he hoa aloha loa nā keiki a me Bombay, no ka mea, he like ko lākou hoihoi, nā pāʻani a me ka hoʻoliʻiliʻi iho.
ʻIke nui nā pōpoki Bombay a ʻo nā mea āpau āu e hūnā ai iā lākou ma hope o ka lumi kuke a i ʻole ka puka ʻauʻau e hoihoi iā lākou ma ka paʻamau. Pono ʻoe e hele i laila, a i ʻole e kau i kou ʻūlū ma lalo o ka puka a puka i waho e pāʻani. A makemake lākou e pāʻani ...
ʻOi aku me nā huahana i hiki ke ʻōwili. Hiki paha iā ia he ʻōwili o ka pepa lua, pōpō, a i ʻole kaʻuala.
ʻAe, ʻuala! He aha ka mea hoihoi hou aʻe i ke ola ma mua o ka hoʻokele ʻana iā ia a puni ka lumi kuke?
Ma ke ala, ʻo kēia nā mea ʻona makemake ʻole e hāʻawi i kā lākou. E namunamu lākou a hoʻāʻo e hūnā i kahi mea a lākou e manaʻo ai ʻo kā lākou mea pāʻani. ʻOiai ʻaʻole makemake nā keiki kime e kaʻana like a me ka ʻāina.
Hoʻololi maikaʻi lākou i nā mea ʻona. ʻO ia hoʻi inā ʻoe ma ka hana, e hoʻomaʻa ka pōpoki Bombay i kona hiamoe a hiki i kou wā ma ka home e hana a mākaukau e kamaʻilio.
Inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kahi ʻano pōpoki: akamai, ʻeleu, koi i ka nānā, a laila e kūpono ka lāhui iā ʻoe.
Hoʻolālā maikaʻi ʻia ka huakaʻi, inā pono ʻoe e hele i kahi hōʻike pōpoki i ka wā e hiki mai ana, a laila e aho e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i kahi keiki keiki mai ka wā ʻōpio.
E hoʻohana wale i nā hīnaʻi kūikawā, no ka mea ʻo ka hapa nui o nā pilikia e kū inā lawe ʻoe iā lākou e like me kēlā. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa ke keikikāne i ka hīnaʻi a ʻaʻohe pilikia i ka wā e hiki mai ana.
Mālama
ʻO kekahi o nā ʻano pōpoki maʻalahi loa e mālama. ʻOiai he pōkole ko lākou kapa, pono ia i ka palaki liʻiliʻi a me ka holoi ʻana. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻauʻau i hoʻokahi manawa i ka mahina me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi shamona pōpoki kūikawā a me ka mea hoʻomeamea.
Ma hope o ka ʻauʻau, hoʻomaloʻo wale i ka pōpoki me ke kāwele. Inā hiki i ka hoʻoilo, waiho i kahi kihi mahana a maloʻo ke kapa.
No ka pale ʻana, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i kahi mīkina lima lima kūikawā a i ʻole ka waihona. Makemake ka pōpoki Bombay i nā neʻe palupalu, a hoʻomalie lākou i ka mea nona.
Eia kekahi, aia ka hapa iki o ka hana, pōkole a me ka aniani o ka lole.
Pono e nānā i nā maka a me nā pepeiao i kēlā me kēia pule a holoi me ka pulupulu inā he lepo.
Eia nō naʻe, e wai paha ko lākou mau maka a pono e holoi pinepine ʻia. E hoʻohana wale i kahi swab ʻokoʻa no kēlā me kēia maka o hiki ʻole ke loaʻa i kahi maʻi.
Pono e ʻoki ʻia nā māiʻuʻu i kēlā me kēia pule, a he pou wili i loko o ka hale ka mea e pono ai.
Kūʻai i nā keiki kittens
Ke ulu mālie nei kēia mau pōpoki, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea hānai e kūʻai aku i nā keiki i mua o 16 mau pule ma hope o ka hānau ʻana.
ʻOiai i kēia makahiki, paʻakikī e ʻōlelo inā e ulu kahi keiki keiki i kahi holoholona papa hōʻikeʻike paha. E ʻeleʻele paha ka ʻahu nani a e lilo ke kala a ka maka nāwaliwali i ke gula a i ʻole ka ʻūmū.
No laila, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi e koho i kahi keiki i kahi cattery i hōʻike ʻia. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻoia ua wili ʻia ʻo ia, hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻōpala, oʻo makua a kūpaʻa hoʻi. A e maikaʻi nā mea āpau me nā palapala.
