There are several concerns on the possible negative effects on PPG including anaesthesia, surgery and complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of PPG. Microsoft excel was used for statistical analysis. The information about 6646 purebred kittens who had gone through PPG before 27 weeks of age was obtained from the online retrospective survey. Database included cats from the different breeds and –age groups when the surgery was performed, collected in 2019.

  • 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.

  • Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (Pkdef) in Cats
    Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency About the disease Pyruvate kinase deficiency is an inherited disease of Abyssinian and Somali cats. Pyruvate kinase is a red blood cell enzyme important in red blood cell energy metabolism. Therefore, if this enzyme is lacking, a haemolytic anaemia can result. However, the anaemia may only be mild and intermittently detectable, or may not become evident until the cat is older. A rapid severe life-threatening anaemia can also develop. The disease is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, so only cats with two copies of the defective gene are affected. Carrier cats are clinically healthy but can pass the defective gene to their offspring. About the test The Molecular Diagnostic Unit offers a genetic test to diagnose autosomal-recessive pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKDef) in cats. This genetic test is a PCR-based pyrosequencing assay that can reliably distinguish between Affected, Carrier and Normal cats. It is highly recommended that all Abyssinian and Somali cats used for breeding are tested for the defective gene, as well as cats of these breeds showing signs of haemolytic anaemia. For Somali cats, testing for PKDef is now compulsory if cats are to be registered on the GCCF (Governing Council of the Cat Fancy) active register and used for breeding. Please note: The test detects the Normal and Mutant PKDef genes found in domestic cats. The test also works in Bengal and Savannah cats, and detects the Asian Leopard Cat or Serval gene if present (i.e. in F1/F2 cats). There is no point in testing Asian Leopard Cats and Servals for PKDef since the mutant gene came from the domestic cat population.

  • Breeding Policy
    PERSIAN LONGHAIR BREED ADVISORY COMMITTEE Breeding Policy SUPREME UK OG & IMP GR CH GEMKIN STARWIND OVERALL SUPREME EXHIBIT 2012 & 2013 CONTENTS Introduction Origins of the Breed Pattern Groups Genetic Make-up Breeding System Inbreeding Genetic Defects Grooming Introduction With the formation of a consolidated BAC for Persian Longhairs, the requirement to pro- duce a breeding policy has given the BAC the opportunity to review the Registration Poli- cies and Standards of Points for Persians. Some of the policies for the individual pattern groups have not been reviewed or revised for some years. During this time, the Fancy has altered considerably, with the number of Persians being shown dropping dramati- cally, with a consequent reduction in breeders and breeding cats but also, on the plus side, the ability to show longhairs from Exotic or Exotic/Persian breeding at championship level in the section. The aim of this breeding policy is to give advice and guidance to breeders to enable them to observe what is considered “best practice” in breeding Persian Longhairs. The aims of these amendments are to: open up the gene-pool enable breeders to outcross make it easier for breeders to import outcross bloodlines The over-riding factor should always be to maintain health, and preserve the unique qualities of this stunning breed, coat colour, length and texture, beautiful large, round eyes and sweet facial expression, which makes them sought after both for showing and as wonderful family pets. Origins of the Breed The breed’s name refers to Persia, the former name of Iran, where similar cats are found.

  • Congenital and Hereditary Diseases to Be Diagnosed in the Kitten
    Congenital and hereditary diseases to be diagnosed in the kitten Dr. Andrea Muennich Dipl. ECAR Referral centre for reproduction D-16321 Bernau Friedenstr. 60 GERMANY [email protected] Congenital diseases are those, visible or non visible, but present at birth. They could be from genetic origin or they can represent a teratogenic cause, in some cases also phenocopies. Phenocopies show the clinical appearance known also for classical genetic defects, but they were acquired during embryogenesis by teratogenic factors. If there is no genetic test available for the specific breed or disease, the causes will be often unspecified. Anomalies of microanatomic or biochemical type usually go unreported and are included under stillbirths, faders, or undetermined causes, if kittens die early. Some anomalies in the brain, heart, or respiratory system can cause immediate threat to life, resulting in death at birth or within the first days, weeks or months, whereas other malformations remain unnoticed for a different period, depending on the localisation. In most cases, pathologic and histological examination is the only possibility to diagnose non visible malformations. The occurrence of a pathognomonic symptom– a typical sign on which a diagnosis or a suspicion can be made - helps in some cases to be able to recognise the problem. In other cases, X-ray, sonography , endoscopy, or blood tests can help to diagnose the defect and to make a prognosis. Some of internal defects ones can find accidentally (e.g.during surgery or necropsy). Live born kittens should be euthanised if they show an untreatable condition. 1 defects and malformations visible at birth (selection) Palatoschisis (cleft palate, cleft lip) All degrees of cleft palate are conditions that should be easily to diagnose after birth by inspection of the oral cavity.

This ever- changing educational endeavor has evolved into the annual Wednesday Slide Conference program in which cases are presented on 25 Wednesdays throughout the academic year and distributed to 135 contributing military and civilian institutions from around the world. Many of these institutions provide structured veterinary pathology resident training programs. During the course of the training year, histopathology slides, digital images, and histories from selected cases are distributed to the participating institutions and to the Department of Veterinary Pathology at the AFIP. Following the conferences, the case diagnoses, comments, and reference listings are posted online to all participants. This study set has been assembled in an effort to make Wednesday Slide Conference materials available to a wider circle of interested pathologists and scientists, and to further the education of veterinary pathologists and residents-in-training. The number of histopathology slides that can be reproduced from smaller lesions requires us to limit the number of participating institutions.
