Where You Should Never Hit a Dog
Never strike a dog on the nose, tail, belly, or legs — these areas hold delicate nerves, breathing passages, organs, or fragile bones, and a hard blow can cause lasting damage. If you lose your temper, a light pat on the thick thigh or rump is the only safe option, but training works far better than hitting.

Colorpoint Shorthair
The Colorpoint Shorthair was developed from the Siamese, with red or cream restricted to points (face, legs, ears, tail, and genitalia).

In the 1940s and 50s, breeders risked deciding the beautiful Siamese should come in more than traditional seal and the most common blue point.

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.
