So Mo could be a proto-Mau! :P What I understood is that the Mau pedigree is only established in the 1950s. So they kept on breeding with a couple of specific specimens which led to the foundation of the Mau pedigree.

Here's little Mo. She came live with us in the first week of the lockdown. She's rescued from the streets of Cairo and arrived just before the travel bans. She's a helper cat. Follows me around constantly, even when I'm in the loo she wants to check out what I'm doing. She's quite vocal and...

Well the title says it all. Adopted a big ginger male of around 3 years old last March. After some adaptation struggles he settled in quite nice. He's a scardy cat but does fine. Sometimes when I approach him he dashes off, but a minute later he comes to bump his head into me, think it's a bit...

Apparently its correct what they say. Dogs have an owner, cats have staff. Today he's been hiding under my bed, I think its better to leave him in the living, where he has been the last couple of weeks. Maybe better to have him completely adapted to this room before I let him explore through...

Well well, I think closing off part of his hiding worked. He was walking around the room meowing the past couple of hours and now it seems he yielded. Asking for petting and pushing his head through my hands. Looks like he flipped a switch. :)

Thanks for all the flattering words ;-). The cat bite turned out to be quite severe and I had to stay in the hospital for a couple of days due to a pasteurella infection. At least I am on par with my knowledge on the cat's bacteria cultures. He seems to be eating now but I think he is...

This morning i was in a bit of hurry. My visitors werd arriving way earlier then expected. I went to get Edgar and picked him uo too fast/unexpected for him. He bit me, quite deep. In the hospital now, hoping no ligaments or pierced.... or serious infections will occur. :( But he did poo this...

Hello people! I am new to the forum since I adopted a 3 year old ginger shorthair. Last sunday I picked up Edgar from his former home where he lived with another shorthair, tabby female. I expected some adjustment issues as I took him away from his BFF to a new home. Now, were almost a week...
