What advice is available from Messybeast?
While Messybeast will try to answer general email queries (or refer you to an appropriate source of information), it is not qualified to give veterinary or specialist advice. Veterinary queries should always be referred to a qualified veterinarian or to a veterinary nurse/veterinary technician. There are plenty of cat care/health books available, look for ones which have been written or approved by a veterinarian, a humane society or by a recognised feline organisation. Cat care fact sheets are available from many veterinary surgeries and welfare organisations. For genetics advice, the book “Robinson’s Genetics for Cat Breeders” is the recommended text and is available through Amazon and other online booksellers. For behavioural advice, books by Peter Neville (behaviourist), Bruce Fogle (vet) or Roger Tabor (biologist) are available from on-line booksellers. Alternatively, look for books written by members of a recognised pet behavioural body (e.g. APBC in the UK).
