Persian
The Persian cat, also called Persian, Chinchilla, or Himalayan, with the Latin name Persian, represents nobility in people's minds. In China, most people's first pet cat was a Persian. However, most kept Persians are not purebred but non-purebred bred by merchants to meet the market; purebred Persians cost over a thousand dollars. Originating in Persia (Iran), it was developed in Britain over more than 100 years from Afghan longhair and Angora cats.
Siamese
The Siamese cat, also called the Thai cat, with English name Siamese, traces its origins to Thailand in the 14th century from non-purebred Asian cats. Once living in royal palaces and temples, it was later given as a diplomatic gift to other countries. Famous for its striking color points, blue almond eyes, and vocal, affectionate personality, the Siamese is a beloved and distinctive breed.
Singapura、Kucinta
The Singapura originates from Singapore and is also known as the Lion City Cat. With the English names Singapura and Kucinta, it is the smallest cat breed in the world, attracting much attention from cat lovers. Its less pleasant nicknames, drain cat and sewer cat, come from its living environment: early on, the Singapura was unwelcome among locals and forced to live in drains or sewers, hence the names.
Scottish Fold
The Scottish Fold's ears fold neatly forward over the head, earning it a place among the 'elf' cats. It is said that in 1961, a farm cat in Scotland gave birth to a litter containing a strange kitten with white fur, folded ears, and an owl-like face. Named after its birthplace near Coupar Angus, Scotland, and its folded ears, the breed became known as the 'Scottish Fold'.
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.

My kitten is trembling all over, won’t let me touch it, is uninterested in food, and keeps convulsing—what’s going on?
Constant convulsions and trembling have many causes and are usually critical, needing immediate emergency care and testing. It may be an untreated disease or severe infection (panleukopenia, FIP) causing shock with low temperature, trembling, poor appetite, and convulsions; or poisoning from swallowed toxins with no warning; or low blood sugar from poor diet or gut issues; or nerve problems like epilepsy or brain disease. All need a vet; watch kittens closely and treat early.
