Uhlu Lwezinhlobo Zamakati
Context:Uhlu olulandelayo lwezinhlobo zamakati luhlanganisa izinhlobo zamakati ezifuywayo kuphela kanye nama-hybrid ezifuywayo nezasendle. Lolu hlu lubandakanya izinhlobo ezakhiwe ezaziwa yizinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zamakati, izinhlobo ezintsha nezihlolwayo, izinhlobo zezilwane ezifuywayo ezakhiwe njengezinhlobo ezijwayelekile, izinhlanga ezihlukile zasekhaya ezingathuthukiswa ngenkuthalo nezinhlobo eziphelelwe yisikhathi (eziphelile).  Kusukela ngo-2023, i-International Cat Association (i-TICA) ibona izinhlobo ezingama-73 ezijwayelekile, i-Cat Fanciers 'Association (i-CFA) ibona ezingama-45, i-Fédération Internationale Féline (i-FIFe) ibona ezingama-50, i-Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (i-GCCF) ibona ezingama-45, kanti i-World Cat Federation (i-WCF) ibona ezingama-69.  Ukungafani kokuhlukaniswa kwezinhlobo kanye nokuqanjwa kwamagama phakathi kwamarekhodi kusho ukuthi isilwane ngasinye singabhekwa njengezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene ngamarekhodi ahlukene (yize kungadingeki ukuthi afanelekele ukubhaliswa kuzo zonke, ngokuya ngemvelaphi yaso eqondile). Isibonelo, i-TICA's Himalayan ibhekwa njengezinhlobonhlobo ze-colorpoint yamaPheresiya yi-CFA, kuyilapho i-Java (noma i-Colorpoint Longhair) ingukuguquguquka kombala we-Balinese ku-TICA naku-CFA; zombili izinhlobo zihlanganisiwe (kanye ne-Colorpoint Shorthair) zibe "uhlobo olukhulu" olulodwa, i-Colourpoint, yi-World Cat Federation (WCF), esebenzisa kabusha igama elithi "iJava" le-Oriental Longhair. Futhi, i-"Colo[u]rpoint Longhair" ibhekisela ezinhlotsheni ezihlukile kwamanye amarekhodi. Kunezibonelo eziningi zokugqagqana nokwehluka kwamagama ngalolu hlobo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amagama amaningi ezindawo namasiko ezinhlobo zamakati akhethwa abafuyi baseNtshonalanga ukuze azwakale engajwayelekile futhi awahlobene nemvelaphi yangempela yezinhlobo; amaBali, amaJava namaHimalaya ayizibonelo zalokhu kuthambekela.  Izinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinwele ezimfishane zasekhaya nezinkulu zasekhaya azizona izinhlobo, kodwa amagama asetshenziswa (ngokubhala okuhlukahlukene) kumnandi wekati ukuchaza amakati "ama-mongrel" noma "ama-bicolor" ngobude begubo, lawo angahambisani nohlobo oluthile. Amanye amarekhodi avumela ukuba babe nohlu lozalo futhi asetshenziswe njengesitoko sesisekelo ekusungulweni kwezinhlobo ezithile. Akufanele badidaniswe nezinhlobo ezijwayelekile ezinamagama afanayo, njengeBritish Shorthair ne-Oriental Longhair.
Ngokusekelwe ezibonelweni ezithathwe embhalweni, nginike inani eliphelele lezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezinhlobo
