  • The-Abyssinian-Cat.Pdf
    History of the Abyssinian Cat: Within this section you will find information which will tell you a few things about where the breed may possibly have originated and/or how it was established. Many of the claims made about the breed's origin are probably more myth and fantasy than reality and controversy lingers on until today. Almost any cat book talking about the breed will start with the theory that the first Abyssinian cat was brought to England by a British soldier, in 1868, returning from Abyssinia War (Ethiopia today). Its name is recorded to be "Zula" and believed to be the founder cat of the breed. Having a closer look at the picture published to be "Zula" one would however quickly agree it has practically nothing in resemblance with the breed whether we look at pictures from early Abyssinians or at some more recent ones. The coat seems to be longish and waved rather than that of a shorthaired cat and ears are so tiny that many a modern Persian or Exotic would get embarrassed. Frances Simpson says in "The Book of the Cat" (London 1903) that the so-called Abyssinian cats of her time bore a 'very striking resemblance to the Egyptian or Caffre cat, and a picture of a painting in her book features an Abyssinian cat with ringed tail and many stripes on the legs. However, it is generally believed that all of today's domestic cats are descendants of the African Wild Cat (Felis Libyca). Harrison Weir, on the other hand, had a somewhat less avantgardistic proposal about what may have created the unique look of the breed as it was shown around this time in England and says in "Our Cats and All About Them" (1889) that a cross between the English wild cat and a domestic cat had produced kittens similar to those imported from Abyssinia, so there obviously had been some from that country.

  • Puritis in Cats
    Clinical Approach to the Pruritic Cat Dr Robert Hilton BVSc(Hons) MACVSc CertVD MRCVS When dealing with cats with skin disease, it is important to understand that cats are not small dogs. The same cause may elicit different reaction patterns in different cats. Cats were worshipped as gods in ancient Egypt, and have not quite got over the fact. They are often difficult to pill, resent bathing, fail to eat elimination diets, hunt and steal food and love to remove topical medication by licking as soon as it is put on. The principal causes of feline pruritus are listed below: Common Allergies and ectoparasites − Flea bite allergy − Food allergy (and on rare occasions, non immune-mediated adverse food ) reactions − Atopic dermatitis − Mosquito hypersensitivity − Reactions to mites ( Otodectes, Cheyletiella, Notoedres, Sarcoptes ) Infections − Bacterial pyoderma (almost always secondary) − Dermatophytosis − Feline Herpes infection (especially nose and face) − Malassezia (especially Rex and Sphinx) Less Common Ectoparasites − Feline demodecosis (The contagious short-bodied D. gatoi is commonly recognised in Europe and North America) − Lice − Infestation with Trombicula spp Immune mediated disease − Pemphigus foliaceus − Drug reactions − Sebaceous adenitis − Lymphocytic mural folliculitis Neoplasia − Epitheliotropic lymphoma − Squamous cell carcinoma (common neoplasm, uncommonly pruritic) − Feline mast cell tumours Idiopathic − Psychological pruritus − Idiopathic facial dermatitis (dirty face disease) of Persian cats (Adapted from Noli and Scarampella (2004)) Same aetiology Same protocol Same treatment Manifestations of feline allergic disease. Any one or more of the following: Milliary dermatitis Eosinophilic plaque Eosinophilic granuloma Linear plaque/granuloma Over grooming syndrome Head and neck pruritus Urticaria pigmentosa Rodent ulcer Milliary dermatitis presents as multiple small crusted papules on any part of the body.

  • Feline Nutrition and Proper Food Storage
    FELINE NUTRITION AND PROPER FOOD STORAGE What is the best diet for my cat? Cats are obligate carnivores, and as such, require meat proteins as their main source of nutrition. The best, most nutritionally complete diet is a raw food diet or a canned food diet. However, not all budgets or lifestyles can accommodate this type of diet. Cat owners should feed their cats the highest quality food (wet or dry) that their budget will allow. What do cats need in their diets? Protein (from a recognizable meat source) Taurine (an amino acid naturally present in meat) vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and fatty acids water What should I look for when selecting a cat food? Pet food labels follow the same basic rules as human food labels, meaning that the list of ingredients descends from the largest to the smallest amount. A whole protein (muscle meat) should be the first ingredient (ideally, the first two or three ingredients would be proteins). Examples: chicken, turkey, lamb, beef, salmon, rabbit, duck, etc. The word “meal” after an identified protein is okay, but the word “by-product” is not. Byproducts can be comprised of heads, feet, viscera and other animal parts. Unidentified protein meal (“meat meal”) can contain rendered euthanized pets from shelters and vet clinics, 4D meat (dead, diseased, dying, disabled), road kill, and zoo animals. Avoid carbohydrate fillers such as corn (corn meal, ground whole corn, ground yellow corn, corn gluten meal, maize, etc.), cellulose (which is basically sawdust), wheat, and soy (especially if high on the ingredient list or if several of these are listed).

We will be contacting you to review the analysis and consult with you about free solutions to improve your collection. In the meantime, here is a summary of your analysis. In putting the analysis together, we first indicate the average age and number of titles in each part of your collection, then we compare it to a brand new "exemplary" collection that would meet size standards for the number of students in your school. You should then be able to see some of the potential problem areas in your collection and where the collection may fall short of standards. Obviously, what is exemplary for one school may not be completely right for another school, but this does give us a good starting point. You know better than we how your collection is used, so please adapt these recommendations as you see fit. The following summaries highlight the areas that seem the most in need of attention in the report on the next few pages. Please look at your report closely to determine detailed size, age and weeding needs. v With the information you supplied, we were able to successfully categorize 100% of your MARC records. v Throughout the collection, the average date of publication is 2006 or 15 years old. v The average age is 5 years older than recommended.
