Experiment №1. Codename: Leaping felines.
Goal: to determine which cat breeds are best at jumping through a hoop, and if it can be a genetic trait. To see which are better in training: adults or kittens. Participants: 3 cats of each of the original P5 breeds. ----- Day 1. I tested the following breeds: Tabby, Calico and Persian. All cats are straight from AC. As I expected, persians were not good jumpers at all, other two were much better. Seems like tabbies are the best today. *Tabbies:* 2 great jumpers (did it quickly and without hissing) --- 1 semi-jumper (does it after some time) Calicos: 3 semi-jumpers Persians: 3 not jumpers |

----- Day 1. A continue. I bred a GJ tabby with a SJ calico. Got 2 GJ, 1 SJ and 1 NJ. Here I understood that I need to think more about what cats should be named 'good jumpers'  Two kittens were absolutely adorable, as for me.   |

----- Day 1. A continue. Bred two NJ persian. The result is a big surprise: 2 NJ, and.... 2 GJ  I start thinking that it's not a genetic trait. |

-----
Day 1. A continue.
Parents: 2 GJ tabbies. Offspring: 2 GJ, 1 SJ, 1 NJ.
Conclusion: It's either not a genetic trait or the game has some kind of 'recessive' genes.

----- Day 2. I decided to divide cats in 2 groups instead of 3 - NJ (non-jumper)and J (jumper), as it is hard to determine the difference between GJ and SJ  Today our "victims" were: Alleys, B+W shorthairs, Chinchillas, Desert lynxes, Egyptian maus, Honey bears, All 3 alley cats completely ignored the hoop. Unlike them, B+W shorthairs, maus and lynxes showed themselves as more-or-less excellent jumpers, except some reluctance from one of the lynxes and a mau. Honey bears seemed to be deeply annoyed be the fact I tried to make them jump, although one kitten seldom leaped through the hoop. Speaking about chinchillas, the game surprised me again - contrary to their 'relatives' - persians, they are happy to jump, and show much less 'hissing' behavior. Alley cats/Honey bears: 3 NJ. B+W Shorthairs/Desert lynxes/Egyptian maus: 3 J. B+W's are the best of these three breeds. *Chinchilla Persians*: 3 J. |

----- Day 2. A continue. Breeds: Scottish folds, Orange shorthairs, Russian blues, Japanese bobtails, Maine coons Scottish folds: 2 NJ, 1 J. Tend to hiss at a hoop. Orange shorthairs: 2 J, 1 NJ. As expected, they usually are scared of everything so they pay little attention to jumping. Russian blues: 3 J. Sometimes paw at a hoop. *Japanese bobtails*: All 3 are great jumpers. Siameses: Similar to jap.bobtails, but sometimes get distracted to look self-important Maine coons: All 3 are nice jumpers, but one of them was really good. |

Experiment №1. Results.| Alley Cat | B+W Shorthair | Calico | Chinchilla Persian | Desert Lynx | Egyptian Mau | Honey Bear | Japanese Bobtail | Maine Coon | Orange Shorthair | Persian | Russian Blue | Scottish Fold | Siamese | Tabby | | X | V | V | V | V | V | X | V | V | v | X | V | X | v | V |
X - not a jumper V - jumper v - gets distracted to breed-specific behavior V - my personal choice ----- Looks like the jumping 'ability' doesn't pass to offspring. Two lazy cats can breed a sporty kitten and vice versa. I didn't see any difference between teaching an adult cat and a kitten to jump. |
