How to Avoid Conflict with Your Cat
Cats show clear warning signs before attacking—puffed fur, thrashing tail, airplane ears, hissing, and wide eyes. Give them space: avoid eye contact, back away, and don't punish. Rule out pain or illness with a vet check if aggression appears suddenly, and use food and calm handling to rebuild trust.
Shandong Lion Cat
The Shandong Lion Cat is mainly seen in zoos in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Jinan, and Qingdao in China, and rarely abroad in Japan and Singapore. It is called the Shandong Lion Cat because it looks like a lion, with long, fluffy fur.
Ocicat
The Ocicat, despite being mistaken for a wild cat, is a wholly domestic breed developed in the United States from Abyssinian, Siamese, and American Shorthair ancestors. After a winding path to recognition, a decade of bloodline management won it acceptance. With its spotted, wild-looking coat and friendly, active nature, the Ocicat is a striking yet affectionate companion.

When does a long-haired cat start its coat ‘bloom’ (fur fill-in)?
Long-haired cats usually bloom at 4-6 months as the body and coat grow fast; the frame sets by 6 months with very full fur. Brush at least daily to prevent mats.
My cat is shedding wildly with floating fur that won’t comb out; maybe from washing with human shampoo; coat is dull and can’t be touched; what to do?
Heavy shedding with floating fur can be seasonal, endocrine, dietary, or from human shampoo damaging skin pH. Use pet shampoo, improve diet, and see a vet if needed.
How often should a long-haired cat eat hairball paste?
To prevent hairballs, give a long-haired cat hairball paste 1-2 times a week, and 3 times a week during shedding. Regular brushing also helps.
How long does a cat’s seasonal shedding last?
Seasonal shedding lasts about a month; brush often and clean fallen hair to prevent hairballs. Boost nutrition for new growth and give hairball paste or cat grass to help expel hair.
How often should an Exotic Shorthair (Garfield) cat be bathed?
An Exotic Shorthair can be bathed every 1 to 3 months; if clean and odorless, bathing is unnecessary. Too-frequent baths harm coat and skin and cause disease. Regular brushing cleans and bonds; check for abnormalities while brushing.
