You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Peterbald''' is a [[List of cat body-type mutations#Hairlessness|hairless]] [[cat breed]] of Russian origin. It was created in [[Saint Petersburg|St. Petersburg]] in 1994 from an experimental cross of a [[Don Sphynx]] and an [[Oriental Shorthair]]. They have an Oriental build with a [[Dominance (genetics)|dominant]] hair-losing gene. The breed was accepted for Championship status in 2009.

==History==
[[File:Peterbald male Shango by Irina Polunina.jpg|thumb|Blue tabby male]]
The Peterbald breed was born during the latter half of 1994 in [[St. Petersburg]], Russia, the result of an experimental mating of a [[Don Sphynx]] (also known as Don Hairless, Donskoy or Donsky) male named Afinogen Myth and an [[Oriental Shorthair]] female World Champion named Radma von Jagerhov, by Russian felinologist [[Olga S. Mironova]]. The first two litters produced four Peterbald kittens: Mandarin iz Murino, Muscat iz Murino, Nezhenka iz Murino and Nocturne iz Murino. These four Peterbalds were the [[foundation stock]] of the breed.

In 1996, the breed was adopted in the Russian [[Selectional Feline Federation]] (SFF) and given a standard and an abbreviation (PBD). In 1997 it was adopted in [[The International Cat Association]] (TICA) with the abbreviation PD, and in 2003 in the [[World Cat Federation]] (WCF) with the abbreviation PBD. Other used handles of the breed are PTB, PD and PSX.
[[File:Kita Peterbald.jpg|thumb|Colourpoint kitten]]
These days the breed develops in the direction of modern Oriental and Siamese body-types, that is to say a long muzzle, large set-apart ears, flat cheekbones, and an elegant body on long legs. Therefore, all standards for this breed encourage mating with Oriental and [[Siamese cat]]s and semi-longhair variations of those (such as [[Balinese (cat)|Balinese]] and [[Javanese (cat)|Javanese]]). The Balinese and Javanese were eliminated from the acceptable outcross list in 2005.

The Peterbald was accepted for Championship class competition, effective May 1, 2009, in the [[American Cat Fanciers Association]] (ACFA) in August 2008. Effective May 2008, TICA recognises the "brush coat" Peterbald for Championship competition.

==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
Peterbalds resemble [[Oriental Shorthair]]s in body-type. They have a dominant hair-losing gene inherited from the Don Sphynx, and can be born bald, flocked, velour, brush, or with a straight coat. Those born with hair, excepting the straight-coats, can lose their hair over time. They come in all colours and markings.

Members of the breed have a slim and muscular build. They have a narrow and long head with a straight profile, almond-shaped eyes, wedge-shaped muzzle, and large, set-apart ears. They have a long whip-like tail, webbed feet and oval paws that allow them to grasp objects and open levered doorknobs.

===Behaviour===
Peterbalds are sweet-tempered, affectionate, peaceful, curious, smart, and energetic. They are medium vocal and tend to follow their owners and want to be with them. Peterbalds typically live in harmony with other cats and pets, and also with children.

== Breeding ban ==
Since 2014, it is illegal in the [[Netherlands]] to breed with parent cats which bear genetic mutations or other physical abnormalities that cause health or welfare issues in their offspring.<ref name=":02">((Cite web |last=Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) |author-link= |date=2022-10-31 |title=Fokken met katten - Honden en katten |url=https://www.nvwa.nl/onderwerpen/honden-en-katten/fokken-met-uw-hond-of-kat/fokken-met-katten |access-date=2023-04-01 |website=www.nvwa.nl |language=nl-NL))</ref><ref>((Cite web |last=Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) |date=2022-10-31 |title=Fokken met katten met schadelijke kenmerken of erfelijke ziektes - Nieuwsbericht - NVWA |url=https://www.nvwa.nl/nieuws-en-media/nieuws/2022/10/31/fokken-met-katten-met-schadelijke-kenmerken-of-erfelijke-ziektes |access-date=2023-04-01 |website=www.nvwa.nl |language=nl-NL))</ref> The lack of protecting fur in hairless cats, such as the Peterbald, is one of these banned mutations in parent cats.
