Persian, Exotic Shorthair, Scottish Fold, flat-faced cats are among the most popular in Indian homes. Their squashed faces are the result of deliberate breeding, and that same structure compresses airways, distorts tear ducts, and crowds teeth. Understanding what brachycephaly actually does to a cat's body helps owners spot trouble before it becomes a crisis.

If your black cat has been spending time by the window and you have noticed a reddish or brownish tint creeping into the coat, you are not imagining it.

Most people call their striped cat a 'tabby' as if it names a breed. It doesn't, tabby is a coat pattern, and it comes in four distinct forms.
