Egyptian Mau

The Egyptian Mau (Felinae) is found worldwide. Although called the Egyptian Mau, it cannot be confirmed that it originated in Egypt; however, because its image and written records appear in ancient Egyptian murals, steles, and papyrus scrolls, people believe its ancestor is the African wildcat. In the 1950s, the Egyptian Mau was introduced to the United States and Britain, and in 1968 it won awards in formal competitions.

Deworm First or Vaccine First? Get the Order Right

For a new cat, deworm first, then vaccinate. Parasites keep the immune system stressed so a shot can't build proper antibodies — risking vaccine failure or a severe reaction. Plan: settle in a week, deworm at 45+ days, then FVRCP shots 3 weeks apart plus rabies a week later. Indoor cats still need regular deworming, and FVRCP doesn't cover every disease.

Thinking of Getting a Blue British Shorthair? Here’s What You Should Know

Before getting a blue British Shorthair, weigh three things: heavy shedding (a short coat that still ranks near the top for hair loss, so brush often), a slow metabolism that makes obesity easy (diabetes, joint wear, heart strain), and inherited diseases — polycystic kidney disease, progressive retinal atrophy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy — that genetic screening can catch before you bring one home.
