Cats

The Tramp cat is famous for its large, tall body and stately fur, the true cuddling cat that loves its owners. Tramp cats are surprisingly smart, friendly, and elegant.Additionally, he likes to learn many new tricks and play games, such as fetch.

So that some of them learn to love walking on the leash! The Tramp cat is also adaptive, which means that it adapts in a variety of homes - apartments, large families, and small families - and makes an excellent family companion with younger children or other pets.

History of the Tramp Cat

Like its close cousin, the Ragdoll cat, the Tramp cat has a fairly short history as a distinct breed. After a ragdoll was first produced by Anne Baker in the 1960s, a group of breeders wanted to promote the diversity in the colors and patterns of their cat sizes and sizes.

Additionally, they wanted to add more genetic variation to their litters - a wider set of genes could provide some protection against genetic diseases. Anne Baker strictly controlled the breeding of Ragdoll cats - and she didn't want to add variation to her breed - so these breeders began creating their distinctive breed.

Breeders bred Ragdoll cats with the Shirazi cat, Himalayan cat, and long-haired domestic cats to increase the size of their cats, and to create physical traits that would distinguish the Tramp cat from the Ragdoll cats.

Although the name "Tramp Cat" was initially a joke by one of the original breeders, it stuck when the official breed registry could not be changed. Plus, it's a tribute to the cats of the Rag Doll, which inspired them to do so.

Take care of a tramp cat

Unlike many cats with long, soft coats, tramp coats are relatively low maintenance. Since it is tangle-resistant, you can brush or comb a Tramp cat once or twice a week to remove any tangles or a simple brushing and removal of dead hair buildup. What's more, Tramp cats  are not prone to excessive hair loss.

Be sure to check Tramp's ears every week, to gently remove any dirt or debris with a damp cloth or cotton ball. If the tramp ears are very dirty, red, or inflamed, make an appointment with your vet right away. Avoid using cotton swabs, as they can damage delicate inner ear structures.
