In today's video, we are going to talk about some interesting facts and myths about the Raas Cat.
The Raas cat is a native animal on the Indonesian island of Raas in East Java. The Rass Cat is also known as a Busok or Buso Madura cat. It is said that the Raas cat is from a pure breed line without mixed genes from other cat races. However, this cat is not yet recognized by Tica as a cat breed.
The Raas cat is a breed of elegant felines. It has physical characteristics very similar to a jungle cat, or a leopard. These cats have a graceful look with a size larger than most of the other cat breeds in general. The face of the raas is a little squarish shape. They have dark green eyes with an oval shape that is not too wide. The shape of the skull is roundish, with the chin being slightly tapered, while the ears are erect, pointy, and long. Compared to most of the other common breeds, the tail of these cats is conspicuously long with a slightly bent edge.
Here are some of the interesting facts about the Raas Cat, which will give you some further insight into its characteristics and temperament.
1. Raas Cat's History and Development.
The Raas cat is a breed of domestic cats that evolved in Madura in the Raas Island of Indonesia. They are so primitive that, there have been innumerous local myths and tales about them, one of which is very strange. It says that these felines have a sixth sense, and can only be maintained by a certain group of people like clerics, officials, and community leaders.
Another myth tells a different story. It says, if these cats are taken away to the other islands by a boat piloted by unmarried people, the boat will sink. In addition to these myths, people also believed that, if the Raas cat is taken out of the island of Raas, the people who carry it will get bad luck.
Raas is a cat whose beginning is unknown. But these are a very pure and original breed devoid of genes mixed from other breeds, yet, have a high genetic variation. Most likely the cat is formed naturally. According to the Australian feline expert Lasley Morgan, the Raas cats, especially those with a prominent bluish hue, have originated from the race Korat, the famous breed that is extensively spread across Thailand.
Some sources have also mentioned that these cats have originated from the Asian race, which is evitable from the shape of its tail since its bent tail tip is a trait common to many Asian breeds of cats.
2. Raas Cat's Physical characteristics.
This is a medium-sized cat that has the looks of a leopard or jungle cat. They have a body size larger than the average cat. Their dark green eyes are embedded in a square head. The tail is of medium size and bends at the end. The color of the coat is a plain solid color with blue, gray, or chocolate hue. Brown is also possible but very rarely.
3. Raas Cat's Temperament and Personality.
Raas cats are energetic and playful but are apparently afraid of humans, and sometimes find it difficult to adapt themselves. But once they get tamed, you will surely fall in love with them all over again, when they stare at you with their kind, mesmerizing eyes. But, unlike most other cats, these cats do not want to work just for the sake of pleasing their owners. So, irrespective of the fact that how much they are appreciated for their ‘good jobs’, it will not really motivate them. It is the responsibility of the owners to search for ways of motivating them.
Training the raas would need some innovation and loads of patience since they might show a stubborn and grumpy attitude at times. These cats, with a primitive modality, are basically moody, and hence, it is almost impossible to affirm that the methods that worked earlier for these cats will also work now.
Since the raas cats had initially been bred for the purpose of hunting vermin, it is now considered a domestic cat with a primitive streak after years of domestication. It would be wise for the owners to train this cat with all patience. It is also advisable not to apply the training methods of dogs on these felids since it would not be very much successful.
