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 newly bought rabbit won’t eat or drink and keeps its mouth open showing lower teeth—what is wrong?
A rabbit not eating or drinking and breathing with an open mouth has many causes: respiratory disease like pneumonia, upper-respiratory infection, or sinusitis, with sneezing, runny nose, and red eyes; dental problems like overgrown, misaligned, or decayed teeth cause pain and refusal to eat; or other issues like digestive, liver, or heart disease. See a vet if it continues with other signs.
