Japanese Bobtail
The Japanese Bobtail, also known as the Lucky Cat (Maneki-neko), is very popular in Japan. Cat lovers, upon hearing 'lucky,' want one. It is a native Japanese breed with a history tracing back centuries. Bred in the US after introduction, it is said an American cat lover in Japan found a cat with a short rabbit-like tail and brought several back after WWII; these are the ancestors. The Japanese Bobtail sits with one front paw raised, said to represent good fortune.
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.
I am a boarding student and left my hamster with my parents. When I got home today I found my hamster suddenly like this—at first I thought its eyes were gone, but the eyes can still open a little and a cotton swab can’t wipe it off; runny diarrhea is stuck to its rear and its weight dropped a lot, visibly very thin and severe. How should I handle this?
Based on your description—eyes that will not open, increased discharge, diarrhea, and severe weight loss—your hamster may have a digestive disease, most seriously wet tail. This is often caused by poor care and an unclean environment that lets bacteria infect an immunocompromised hamster, and the disease can be fatal, so seek veterinary care promptly.
