Does a Cat Need ‘Smart Hairs’ to Be Smart?
A cat without ear-tuft 'smart hairs' isn't less smart, and a broken tuft won't lower its IQ — those hairs are just ear furnishings tied to coat length and genes, and they help sense space and air currents. Real intelligence shows in problem-solving, adapting to change, and reading human cues. Every cat is smart in its own way.
How to Get Rid of Dog Smell at Home
Most dog odor at home is the natural skin oil (sebum) your dog sheds onto the sofa, bed, and your clothes — bathing can't stop it, so clean the sources: sun and wash the bed, vacuum often, and wipe floors with baking soda. For urine and waste, an enzyme cleaner breaks down the odor-causing proteins, and a sprinkle of baking soda left 20 minutes then vacuumed tackles soft furnishings (skip leather).

Colorpoint Shorthair
The Colorpoint Shorthair was developed from the Siamese, with red or cream restricted to points (face, legs, ears, tail, and genitalia). Early crosses with domestic shorthairs, refined by concentrating Siamese genes with red, produced the final Colorpoint Shorthairs. Like many CFA breeds, it is a man-made breed. In the 1940s and 50s, breeders risked deciding the beautiful Siamese should come in more than traditional seal and the most common blue point.
