About Me

Messybeast is a non-profit library of cat-related resources. It is not affiliated to any registry, breed society, veterinary association or welfare society. To reproduce, translate or adapt articles for use elsewhere please contact sarah.hartwell[at]blueyonder.co.uk (remember to substitute "@" for [at]).

Sick cat or kitten?I DO NOT give veterinary advice. Sick cats and kittens need to see a vet for proper diagnosis and treatment.

What breed is your cat?90% of cats are random-bred. Without pedigree papers, a cat is considered random-bred regardless of looks.

Breed articles are not consumer reviews or endorsements of a particular breed or breeder.
