A dog has a boss, a cat personnel

A very good friend of mine graduated from university as a vet. She wants to specialize in a remarkable creature, that never seems to be able to choose between coming in and going out...


The first attempts to domesticate a cat were done in Egypt. The Egyptians used the words miu or mii for a cat: "he or she who mews". Hard evidence for the domestication comes from the mummified cats that were found. Probably, wild cats had been voluntarily taking care of snakes, rats and mice and the Egyptians, -just like we do with stray cats- probably gave them some extras. and allowed them to sleep in their homes.

Meanwhile, the aristocrats (not Aristocats...) were concerned with their oral health. Pieces of stone and sand came with the food and damaged the teeth. Many teeth were extracted (without anaesthetics of course!)

The Egyptians may have succeeded in the extraction of teeth, the domestication of cats is no such success story. My black cat is called Billie (after Billie Jean King, the tennis player). She appreciates her daily bowls of food so much, that every now and then she decides it is time to return the favour. A bird, mouse or frog will be laying in the back yard. They used to be in the bedroom (dead or -barely- alive), so closing the window at night was inevitable. Now, she who mews, MEWS!!!! every morning at the front door. When I open that door, she comes in, always leaving part of her tail outside until I leave her no choice...

Please do not wait until you do not have another choice. Come to Dentaprime to have your teeth renovated or replaced as soon as possible. A whole new world lies behind that half opened door!
