Siberian Cats as Pets by Lolly Brown
Siberian Cats as Pets by Lolly Brown is a comprehensive, introductory guide for owners of the gorgeous Siberian Forest Cat, or more simply known as Siberian Cat. Follow us as we trace the history of this Russian cat breed, and how it evolved into its modern day pedigree that is recognized by cat groups and cat associations all over the world. Within these pages, you will learn about some of the best practices in taking care of Siberian cats - from diet and nutrition, grooming, and even exercise and training. We also take a look at the responsibilities of breeding and the health conditions to which Siberian cats are prone to. Novices at showing cats are given a brief tour of what it means to join a cat show, and how best to prepare for showing your own Siberian cat. Those who are still considering whether or not a Siberian cat is the perfect fit for them are given advice on what it means to have a Siberian cat join your household - what it costs, what it entails, and how best to find the Siberian for you. Siberian Cat Breeding, Where to Buy, Types, Care, Temperament, Cost, Health, Showing, Grooming, Diet and Much More IncludedLolly Brown, a lifelong animal enthusiast, is equally at ease writing about exotic creatures like the Mexican axolotl or giving dog owners sensible advise on kennel cough. Brown first became interested in fish and aquariums as a child, when her father surprised her with a 10-gallon aquarium. Within a few months, the father-daughter duo had upgraded to a 120-gallon tank and were fully absorbed in the complexities of tank population control. We had that go-big-or-go-home attitude that is widespread in the hobby, according to Brown. Now that I think about it, I remember what we did to Mama's living room!
Brown's interest throughout animals grew in college, where she took multiple field biology and wildlife classes that allowed her to observe various species in their natural settings. Because her only apartment companions were two hamsters, Hemingway and Leo (Tolstoy), she refers to this phase of her life as the rodent years. She also said she adopted a Guinea pig because she couldn't take the circumstances in the pet store. I was not at all prepared to care for Molly, and I had to learn quickly!
Then I discovered that I'd have to feed them live crickets. Brown first discovered capybaras, a South American creature that appears like a giant Guinea pig, while helping at her local zoo. Her interest in exotic pets was piqued as a result of the event, and she continues to research the subject with zeal. Brown, a freelance writer by trade, writes animal books for her own enjoyment and the education of her readers.
She is an outspoken advocate of animal rescue and welfare organizations, and she volunteers with programs that teach young children about pet care. Brown has her own menagerie, with a 180-gallon saltwater fish tank, a 20-year-old Scarlet Macaw, a Golden Retriever, and numerous tolerant cats. (She suggests that nice cages make good multi-species homes.) If I'm interested in a particular animal but haven't had any firsthand experience with it, I get some before I start writing, Brown adds. Every animal has their own unique viewpoint on the world and their place within it.
They all have different physical and emotional demands, as well as distinct personalities. These are concepts I'd like to grasp before attempting to convey them to my audience.
