Cats mainly communicate through body language. Do you know what your cat is trying to tell you with her tail, ears, or body position? You can learn a lot about your cat's state of mind if you know what to look for. Cats show anger with arched backs , flattened ears, dilated pupils and fluffed-up tails. A swishing tail can be a sign of impending attack. A cat who is trying to stare you down is issuing a challenge. Cats don't like for you to stare at them.
A relaxed cat has eyes that are half open. Cats express affection by blinking their eyes slowly. Kneading motions with the paws shows happiness. When the cat rubs her head against you, she is either greeting you or showing affection. A cat who licks you is expressing love as licking is grooming behavior. Cats rub up against you to mark you with their scent to claim you as their human. Cats also roll around on their backs when they see their owner as a sign of happiness. Some cats may give tiny bites to express affection. A submissive cat will roll over on her back. Her ears will be laid down and to the side. Her tail may be tucked between her legs. This stance might be seen when a beloved owner is approaching the cat.
A cat that is ready to play has erect ears, large pupils and a tail held upright. If your cat is crouching and not moving, she is getting ready to pounce on something, maybe even you. A twitching tail is a sign to stop what you are doing. As the cat gets angrier, the tail will twitch harder and faster. A cat may also bite or scratch as a warning to stop petting them. If the cat is carrying her tail downward, she is not happy or is not feeling well. Cats who shake their paws are expressing disgust or displeasure. You may see this when the cat accidentally steps in water.
By learning how your cat expresses herself, you will have a more rewarding relationship with your cat and learn to enjoy her expressions of affection. Also, you will know when to leave her alone such as when she is angry or unhappy.

Egyptian Mau - The facts every owner of this cat breed should know
A breed of cat as old as recorded history, the Egyptian Mau ('Mau' means 'cat' in Egyptian) can be seen in the artwork of the ancient Egyptians. It is thought that Egyptian Maus are descended from species of the African Wild Cat. In that culture, the cats were worshiped, protected by laws and mummified. The Egyptian Mau is the only breed of cat that has naturally occurring spots on its short coat. Found in a random pattern on the fur, these spots can also be found on the skin. The coat can be silver, bronze or smoke colored with variations occurring between these three colors.
Egyptian Maus have striking green eyes and an unusual flap of skin extending from the flank to the back knee, which allows for agility. It is the fastest breed of cat, able to reach speeds of more than thirty miles per hour. Average adult male Egyptian Maus will reach weights between ten to fourteen pounds. Females will average six to ten pounds.
Egyptian Maus are described as talkative almost musical and have very distinct vocalizations. They are curious cats and like to explore, but they can also be lap cats, preferring the relative comfort and safety of a warm and friendly lap. Egyptian Maus are very friendly with their families and enjoy their company immensely, but are wary of strangers. They are also known to wag their tails like a dog when happy.
Egyptian Maus have some important differences from other domesticated cats. They are more sensitive to temperatures and prefer very warms climates. Egyptian Maus are also more sensitive to medicines and anesthesia. They have a longer than average gestational period. The normal period for cats is sixty-nine days but seventy-three days is still considered normal for an Egyptian Mau. This breed is also prone to food allergies, hot spots, cardiomyopothy and feline asthma.
There is a website that has great information on Egyptian Mau and most other breeds of cats. It has details that pertain to a cat breeds health, grooming, living conditions, best food choices and more, the website is called: Dog And Cat Facts, and can be found at this url:

Natural Food for Dogs and Cats
by David the Dogman
I have discovered that when it comes to feeding dogs that many owners are blinded by myths and misconceptions. Many owners insist that their dogs are practically human and so should get along fine on the same food that the rest of the family is eating. The irony here, of course, is that most human meals are not all that nourishing. What may be healthy enough and appropriate for humans may be not be suitable for a dog or cat.
I can understand that many owners will not give their dogs and cats conventional pet food. For those who are looking for a healthy diet I offer the following diet, which is on the basis that I have witnessed sick dogs that have been on steroids and strong drugs scratching and licking themselves, failing to put on weight that have completely changed after a few weeks on this diet.
The food has to be naturally fresh, but for food to be fresh and alive it must not be sterile and neutral in biological form. The food must not have any chemical contamination or additives.
The first rule of this diet is that no food can be cooked in a microwave. Bear in mind that dogs and cats are hunters and need fresh food, and it should be varied and always balanced. Meat and fish should be served raw but vegetables and cereals should be cooked lightly.
Exercise your pet every day and only give this diet once a day preferably after exercise in the morning. Cats may have two meals a day.
THE MEAL OF THE DAY
Cook for 2 minutes in boiled water 3 to 4 vegetables (6/800 grams) with brown rice, or oats, pasta cereals, whole wheat bread.
Raw meat or fish approx.
* 200 grams of beef, stomach, heart, jaw chuck (The least expensive meat)
* Give only horse meat if the dog is to have long periods of exercise and training.
* Chicken: Heart, stomach, no liver or kidneys.
* Never give your pet pork or pork products.
Every seventh day no meat or fish, only vegetables with cereals.
Include every day two tablespoons of one of the following: - olive oil, wheatgerm, cod liver oil, brewers yeast, seaweed, honey (always natural).
Never give your dog any snacks of sugar, sweets, and chocolates. Raw fruit or vegetables, raw cereals, nuts (not processed or roasted) avocado, olive, carrot, apple etc.
Commitment, Firmness, but kindness.

ARGH the surprise, the sweetness. the bitter-tangy-sweetness of love <3. you feel the atmosphere, pure affection emanating the 'SCENE'. gosh i hate spoilers and not about to give you one!
