Abyssinian
The Abyssinian, also called the rabbit cat, Ethiopian cat, or Abyssinian, has the English name Abyssinian and is now distributed around the world. People usually judge a cat's origin by its name, but the Abyssinian's origin seems somewhat distant from Abyssinia. Abyssinia is the old name for Ethiopia, yet many believe the Abyssinian comes from ancient Egypt.
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.

How to Tell If Your Cat Has Feline Rhinotracheitis (Cat Flu)
Cat flu and a common cold look alike, which leaves many owners unsure whether their cat has feline rhinotracheitis — an infection caused by the feline herpesvirus. The reliable approach is twofold: watch the symptoms and confirm with a test. Early signs are subtle — sneezing, a runny nose, watery eyes, low appetite, no fever — while the active phase brings a high temperature near 40°C, persistent coughing and sneezing, and thick eye and nose discharge. A test strip or a PCR check at the clinic confirms it, but the result must be read alongside the symptoms.
Can a Cat Die from a Cold?
A cat's cold is usually not fatal if it stays mild, but ignoring it—letting a secondary virus take hold or failing to care during an outbreak—can indeed be deadly. Viral and bacterial colds are the dangerous ones; feline herpesvirus (cat flu, or rhinotracheitis) is the common viral form, and stray cats left untreated can die, while house cats should see a vet for targeted treatment. Later signs include thick nasal discharge, weeping or cloudy eyes, conjunctivitis, constant sneezing and cough, lost appetite, and low spirits. Prevention centers on vaccination against herpesvirus (though vaccines aren't 100% effective) plus disinfecting the environment, since the virus survives about 24 hours. Keep a sick cat warm—the virus replicates better at low temperatures.
