Amazingly, these next three breeds have much in common but come from vastly different environments. The Russian Blue, the Korat, and the Chartreux are three very unique and almost unknown breeds that
bear a striking resemblance to each other. These naturally occurring breeds have had little interference from breeders desiring to change their looks or qualities and look almost identical to
drawings of the breed from 500 years ago. Few outcrosses are found in any of these breeds. Come learn how these rare cats are winning the hearts of cat lovers! And, from the Veterinary News Network,
learn how to keep your feline friends out of trouble during the holiday season. The winter holidays are fun and festive, but all it takes is a forgotten turkey bone or stray piece of tinsel to turn
the merriment into a trip to the animal ER!! More details on this episode MP3 Podcast - These Cats Have The "Blues", with Tom Dock on PetLifeRadio.com

Straight from the folklore of the 17th and 18th centuries, the Scottish Fold breed has captivated cat lovers since the discovery of a "flop-eared" cat in 1961 by a Scottish Farmer. Scottish Folds
have a quaint appearance that many people describe as "owl-like" or even reminiscent of a teddy bear. The American Curl is a brand new breed of US origin. Unlike the Scottish Fold whose ears fold
down, the American Curl has ears that bend backwards. Kittens of both breeds are born with straight ears, with the fold or curl appearing within the first few weeks after birth. And, from the desks
of the Veterinary News Network - is your cat one of the 60 million cats in this country that are overweight or obese? Learn how you can help your cat slim down and quite possibly add another 2 years
to his or her life. More details on this episode MP3 Podcast - Scottish Folds and American Curls - "Ears" to You!, with Tom Dock on PetLifeRadio.com

These cats may not be the king of cats, but people often stop to see what all the fuss is about! The Cornish Rex, the Devon Rex and the Selkirk Rex are three recent additions to the world of purebred
cats and all share a unique trait of curly hair. But, believe it or not, each of these breeds was developed independently and each of them has their own gene governing the curl in their hair! They
have been called the “pixies of the cat world”, “cats from outer space”, and some have even wondered if there is some monkey in their ancestry. All of the Rex type of cats are
a welcome change of pace from the procession of stately long-haired cats or the abundance of short haired cats we see every day. Come learn how these cats came about and what might make them a
welcome addition to your home! More details on this episode MP3 Podcast - The Rex Cats , with Tom Dock on PetLifeRadio.com
