Since all lines of a breed will sooner or later be mixed with each other, the genetic health problems are not yours or mine, but it is something we need to battle together. A way to do this is to work with health programmes. Did you know that PawPeds is working together with some breed clubs on Health Programmes in order to improve the genetic health of the cats?

Do you know who Harrison Weir was? The man who arranged the first cat show in England, in Crystal Palace, London, 1871! He was also the one who wrote the first standards for the different varieties of cats. In 1889 he wrote a very interesting book about cats and the different breeds known at that time, Our Cats. In the history section of the PawAcademy we have published parts of this wonderful old book.
