How to Tell If Your Cat Has Internal Bleeding
Signs include lethargy, poor appetite, and less activity; severe cases show vomiting or passing blood. Internal bleeding can be silent, so only a vet check (X-ray, ultrasound, stool test) confirms it. After any fall or blow, watch closely — even with no symptoms, a hard fall from height warrants a vet visit.

Why does my cat have discharge from one eye?
Increased eye discharge and trouble opening the eye may be from a foreign body (hair, insects, pollen, dust) irritating the conjunctiva, causing tearing; rinse with saline and use neomycin sulfate drops. Infection can cause conjunctivitis or keratitis; clean daily and see a vet for blocked tear ducts or entropion.

The Persian earns its 'king of cats' title from striking looks and a noble, calm demeanor—round face, big jewel-like eyes, long flowing coat, and a regal stillness. But its flat face weeps easily, so daily eye cleaning prevents tear stains. Brush the long coat often and keep it in a quiet, gentle home.

Why does my cat make a huffing or puffing sound?
A cat's huffing may reflect unstable emotions in a new environment, in which case give it space and time. If accompanied by eye or nose discharge, lethargy, or appetite loss, it may signal a respiratory infection.
What medicine should I give my cat for a cold?
Cat colds can be treated with GanNuoning and doxycycline tablets plus warmth and water, but a vet visit is needed if symptoms persist or point to viral rhinotracheitis. Never use human cold medicine.
What’s the Difference Between American and British Shorthair Cats?
The two differ a lot: the American (AmSh) has a larger, rounder face and body, while the British (BrSh) has a finer, smaller face. AmSh comes in fewer colors; BrSh in many (silver/golden shaded, pointed, solid). BrSh is calm, lazy, quiet, and clingy; AmSh is lively, curious, and hardy. BrSh is picky about food quality; AmSh eats readily and is easygoing.
