Somali
The Somali cat looks much like the Abyssinian—slender, slightly rounded, with big V-shaped ears and almond eyes—but with a semi-long, soft, dense coat. Developed in the US and Canada from a spontaneous long-haired mutation of the Abyssinian, the Somali is intelligent, gentle, playful, and water-loving, though its abundant coat needs regular grooming.
Korat
The Korat cat, also called the Korat or Si-Sawat, originates from the Khorat Plateau in northwest Thailand and is an ancient breed. Introduced to the US in 1959 and recognized by American cat lovers in 1965, and by Britain 10 years later. Its coat, like the Russian Blue and Chartreux, is solid blue with no shading or pattern, with a silvery sheen, and it has a unique heart-shaped face.
European Burmese
The European Burmese is an elegant cat, but not a fragile one. It has a well-proportioned build, moderate muscle, and expressive eyes. Because it is very intelligent, affectionate, and loyal, it makes an excellent pet.
Tonkinese
The Tonkinese, also known as the Vietnamese cat, is not from Vietnam but a purebred short-haired breed produced by crossing the Siamese with the Burmese, first appearing in North America in the 1930s. With pointed coloring softer than the Siamese and a short, silky coat like the Burmese, the Tonkinese is famously affectionate, active, and people-oriented.

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 two-month-old Bichon was bathed at night, got excited and ate kibble when fed, then the next morning refused food and just sleeps-is it sick?
A dog that won't eat and lacks energy usually signals a health problem, often heat, digestive upset, or other illness. In hot weather dogs may lose appetite; with digestive issues like gastroenteritis, probiotics can help, but if no improvement, see a vet.
My one-month-old puppy ate a red bran bread yesterday and now has red stool; the vet says it’s not parvo
Red stool after eating red bread is likely from the food dye not fully digesting. If the puppy is otherwise normal, it is a temporary food-related change; keep observing and avoid human food, especially for unvaccinated puppies. See a vet if other symptoms appear.
