ʻO ka pōpoki Himalayan kahi lūlū o nā pōpoki lauoho lōʻihi e like me ka Persian, akā ʻokoʻa ke kala a me ke kala o ka maka. He mau maka polū kona a me kahi kino māmā me nā ʻūlū ʻeleʻele, pūhaka, huelo e like me nā pōpoki Siamese.
Mōʻaukala o ka lāhui
Ua hoʻomaka ka hana hoʻohua ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ka makahiki 1930, ma ke Kulanui Harvard kaulana. I ke kaʻina o ke koho ʻana, ua hele ka ʻepekema i nā pōpoki Siamese a me Persian, a ua paʻi ʻia nā hopena o nā hoʻokolohua ma ka Ka Nūpepa ʻo Heredity ma 1936.
Akā, ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā lākou ka ʻike mai nā hui felinological o ia manawa. Akā kope hou ʻo Marguerita Goforth i ka hoʻokolohua ma 1950, a loaʻa nā pōpoki me nā kala Siamese, akā ʻo ke kino Persian a me ka lauoho.
ʻAe, ʻaʻole ʻo ia a me kāna mau hoa hana ka mea mua e hāpai i kēlā keʻa, akā ʻo lākou ka mea mua e hoʻomaka e hana i kēia mau pōpoki i kahi lāhui piha. Ma 1955, ʻaʻole i kau inoa ʻia ka pōpoki Himalayan e ka GCCF ma ke ʻano he kiko kala lōʻihi.
Ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ua hānai ʻia kekahi mau kānaka mai 1950, a i 1957 ka Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) i hoʻopaʻa inoa i ka lāhui, i loaʻa iā ia no ke kala e like me ke ʻano o nā lāpaki Himalayan. Na 1961, ua ʻike ʻia nā hui feline ʻAmelika i ka laha.
No nā makahiki he nui, ua manaʻo ʻia nā pōpoki Persian a me Himalayan i ʻelua mau ʻano ʻokoʻa, a ʻaʻole hiki ke noʻonoʻo ʻia nā hybrids i hānau ʻia mai iā lākou a i ʻole kekahi.
ʻOiai ua hele ka poʻe hānai i kā lākou mau pōpoki me Perusia (e kiʻi i ke kino a me ke poʻo o ko Peresia), ʻaʻohe kūlana no ia mau keiki pipi.
A ua hoʻololi ʻia ʻaʻole hiki i nā ʻona ke hoʻopaʻa inoa iā lākou ma ke ʻano he Himalayan a i ʻole nā ʻano hānau ʻē aʻe. Wahi a nā Breeders, ʻo ke ʻano, kūkulu a me ke poʻo e like me kā ka popoki Peresia, a ʻo ke kala wale nō ka poʻe Siamese.
I ka makahiki 1984, ua hui ʻo CFA i nā pōpoki Himalayan a me Persian a no laila ua lilo ka Himalayan i ʻano ʻokoʻa ma mua o kahi ʻokoʻa ʻokoʻa.
ʻO kēia ka hiki i nā keiki a kēia mau pōpoki ke hoʻopaʻa inoa me ka nānā ʻole i ke kala a me ke kala.
Ua hoʻopaʻapaʻa ka hoʻoholo, a ʻaʻole like ka poʻe āpau me ia. ʻAʻole makemake kekahi o nā mea hānai i ka manaʻo e hui ʻia nā hybrids i loko o ke koko maʻemaʻe, Peresia.
No ka ikaika loa o ka hakakā ua kaʻawale kekahi o nā mea hānai mai CFA a hoʻonohonoho i kahi hui hou - ka National Cat Fanciers 'Association (NCFA).
I kēia lā pili lākou i kahi hui a i ʻole kekahi, kaukaʻi ʻia i ka hui. No laila, i ka TICA aia lākou i ka hui like me Persian, nā shorthairs exotic, a kaʻana like i ka hae like me lākou.
Eia nō naʻe, ma AACE, ACFA, CCA, CFF, a me UFO, pili lākou i kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa me kā lākou hae ponoʻī.
Eia nō naʻe, ke hele mau nei lākou me ka poʻe Perusia, ka hapa nui o kēia mau hui i loaʻa nā lula kūikawā e ʻae ana i nā hybrids e hoʻokūkū.
Wehewehe
E like me ka popoki Peresia, he kino manoanoa ko ka pōpoki Himalayan me nā wāwae pōkole, a ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke lele i ke kiʻekiʻe e like me nā pōpoki ʻē aʻe. Aia kekahi mau pōpoki me ke kumukānāwai e like me Siamese, ʻaʻohe o lākou pilikia.
Akā, i nā hui he nui ʻaʻole lākou e hele e like me ke kūlana maʻamau a ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻae ʻia e hoʻokūkū.
Ke kaʻana like ʻana i nā Peresia i ke ʻano o ke kino a me ka lōʻihi o ke kapa, ua hoʻoilina lākou i ke kala kiko a me nā maka polū ʻulaʻula mai nā pōpoki Siamese. ʻOiai ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ko lākou lauoho, ʻoi aku ka palupalu a me ka blur o nā kiko.
He mau pōpoki nunui kēia me nā wāwae pōkole, mānoanoa a me ka ʻiʻo, he kino pokole. Nui ke poʻo, poepoe, aia ma ka ʻāʻī pokole a mānoanoa.
Nui a poepoe nā maka, hoʻonohonoho ākea a hāʻawi i ka waha i kahi hiʻohiʻona nani. Pōkole ka ihu, ākea, me ka hakahaka ma waena o nā maka. Liʻiliʻi nā pepeiao, me nā ʻōwili ʻōwili, hoʻonoho haʻahaʻa i ke poʻo. Mānoanoa a pōkole hoʻi ka huelo, akā ma ke kaulike o ka lōʻihi o ke kino.
Kaupaona ʻia nā pōpoki makua mai 4 a 6 kg, a me nā pōpoki mai 3 a 4.5 kg.
ʻO ka manaʻo laulā o ka pōpoki ke ʻano a puni ia akā ʻaʻole kaumaha.
ʻO ka lōʻihi o ke ola ma mua he 12 mau makahiki.
Lōʻihi ka ʻahu, mānoanoa i ke kala, keʻokeʻo a i ʻole ka holika, akā hiki ke kiko i kekahi mau kala: ʻeleʻele, polū, poni, kokoleka, ʻulaʻula, kirima.
Kākaʻikahi nā kiko kokoleka a me ka poni, no ka mea, e hoʻoili ke keiki i kēia kala, pono nā mākua ʻelua e lawe i nā ʻāpana e lawe i ke kala kokoleka a i ʻole ka poni.
Aia nā kiko iā lākou iho ma nā pepeiao, ka wāwae, ka hiʻu a me ke alo, i ke ʻano o ka pale maka.
ʻAno
E like me nā pōpoki Persian, nani nā pōpoki Himalayan, nā mea hoʻolohe a noho mālie. Hoʻonani lākou i ka hale a leʻaleʻa i ka noho ʻana ma nā ʻūhā o ko lākou mau ona, e pāʻani ana me nā keiki, e pāʻani ana me nā mea pāʻani a me ka pāʻani ʻana i ka kinipōpō.
Aloha lākou i ka manaʻo o nā mea hoʻokipa a me nā malihini kipa a lākou i hilinaʻi ai. ʻO nā hale kahi kūpono ʻole ka walaʻau a me ka hana kolohe no lākou, he pōpoki mālie kēia, makemake lākou i kahi noho mālie a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi kahi mea ʻole e loli ai i kēlā me kēia lā.
Nui ko lākou mau maka expressive a me kahi leo mālie, leo mele. Aia me ke kōkua o kāna mau pōpoki Himalayan e hōʻike lākou iā ʻoe e pono ana i kekahi mea. A maʻalahi kā lākou noi: ʻai maʻamau, manawa liʻiliʻi e pāʻani me ia, a me ke aloha, a lākou e hoʻihoʻi he ʻumi mau manawa.
ʻAʻole nā pōpoki Himalayan i nā ʻano pōpoki e piʻi i luna o nā pale, lele i ka papa ma ka lumi kuke, a hoʻāʻo paha e piʻi i luna o ka pahu hau. ʻIke nui lākou i ka papahele a i ʻole nā ʻāpana haʻahaʻa o nā lako.
Ke hana nui nei ʻoe me ka hana a hoʻomaʻemaʻe paha i ka hale, e kali ahonui ka pōpoki iā ʻoe ma ka moe a i ʻole ka noho a ʻike ʻoe a nānā. Akā, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻohoka iā ʻoe a koi e pāʻani.
He pōpoki hale maʻamau kēia, wili nawaliwali ʻo ia a ʻaʻole hiki ke hāʻawi i kahi kūpono kūpono i nā pilikia āpau e kali nei ma ke alanui. He mea weliweli iā ia nā ʻīlio a me nā pōpoki ʻē aʻe. ʻAʻole e hōʻike i ka poʻe, ʻo wai ka makemake ʻole e loaʻa kahi nani, keu hoʻi me ka uku ʻole ʻana iā ia?
Ola
E like me ka poʻe Peresia, pilikia kēia mau pōpoki i ka hanu ʻana a me ka salivation ma muli o kā lākou ihu pōkole a me nā lacrimal glands. Pono lākou e holoi i ko lākou mau maka i kēlā me kēia lā a hemo i nā huna maloʻo.
ʻO ka pōpoki Himalayan Siamese ʻaʻole i hoʻoilina i ka nani wale nō, akā i ka maʻamau i ka maʻi polycystic kidney, i lawe ʻia i genetically. Akā, hiki ke ʻike ʻia kēia ʻano ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā hoʻokolohua kūlohelohe, a ma nā pēpē maikaʻi lākou e hana ai.
Mālama
Ke nānā pono nei i nā pōpoki ʻōlinolino, hoʻonani i ka hōʻike, manaʻo paha ʻoe he maʻalahi a maʻalahi hoʻi ka mālama ʻana iā lākou. Akā ʻaʻole kēia pēlā, koi lākou i ka hana koʻikoʻi, i kēlā me kēia lā. Ma mua o kou lawe ʻana i kāu keiki i ka home, e noi i ka mea hānai no nā kikoʻī a me nā nuances o ka mālama ʻana iā ia.
Inā ʻole, ma kahi o ka pōpoki hiwahiwa, hoʻoweliweli ʻoe i ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi holoholona ʻilihuna, i nā moena āpau.
ʻO ka mea nui i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ke hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka pōpoki Himalayan e pono ai ke kāhiko ʻana i kēlā me kēia lā. ʻAʻole e noho kēia kapa lōʻihi a nani hoʻi iā ia iho, akā e lilo wikiwiki ia.
Pono e ʻoluʻolu akā hoʻopili maikaʻi ʻia i kēlā me kēia lā, a pono e ʻauʻau mau ka pōpoki ma ka liʻiliʻi i hoʻokahi manawa i ka mahina.
Pono nō hoʻi e mālama i ka pahu litter maemae o pili ʻole ka ʻōpala i ka hulu lōʻihi o ka pōpoki, a i ʻole ia e pau paha ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka pahu ʻōpala.
ʻO ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana mai nā maka a me nā waimaka ke ʻano o kēia mau pōpoki, a ʻaʻole pono e hoʻopilikia iā ʻoe inā maopopo.
E holoi wale i nā kihi o kou mau maka i hoʻokahi manawa i ka lā e pale ai iā lākou mai kahi maloʻo.
