New Prehistoric Feline Found
In a paw-some discovery, researchers at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales-CSIC have dug up a delightful addition to the feline family! Meet Magerifelis peignei, a medium-sized cat that prowled the streets of Madrid a whopping 15.5 million years ago. Uncovered in 2007, this fur-tastic find includes a jaw so complete, that it's like a snapshot into the ancient cat's world.
With its petite second molar and sturdy build, Magerifelis peignoir might have been the lynx of its era, capable of pouncing on prey with a fierce bite force. But despite its ancient roots, this newly discovered kitty brings joy and wonder to modern researchers, giving us a sneak peek into the evolution of our beloved house cats.

Tips for Maintaining Your Cat's Lustrous Coat
A soft, shiny coat is a sign of a healthy cat. Just like humans, cats require regular grooming and proper nutrition to maintain their fur's health and appearance. Here are some essential tips to keep your feline friend's coat in top condition.
Firstly, ensure your cat is on a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients, particularly proteins and fatty acids. These nutrients are crucial for healthy skin and coat. Choose high-quality cat food or consult your veterinarian for dietary recommendations tailored to your cat's needs.
Regular grooming is also key. Brush your cat's fur at least once a week to remove loose hair and prevent matting. Long-haired breeds may require more frequent brushing to prevent tangles and reduce shedding.
Bathing your cat occasionally can help keep their coat clean and free of debris. Use a gentle cat shampoo specifically formulated for felines and rinse thoroughly to avoid skin irritation.
Additionally, provide your cat with plenty of fresh water to stay hydrated, which is vital for overall coat health.
Lastly, schedule regular check-ups with your veterinarian to monitor your cat's coat condition and address any underlying health issues promptly.
By following these simple tips, you can help your cat maintain a glossy, healthy coat that's sure to turn heads and keep them feeling their best.

A Guide to Creating Masterpieces with Your Cat's Pawprints
Integrating your furry friend into your artistic endeavors can add a personal and heartwarming touch to your creations. One delightful way to do this is by incorporating your cat's pawprints into your artwork. Whether you're a seasoned artist or a novice crafter, here's a step-by-step guide to help you unleash your creativity and make paw-some art with your feline companion.
1. Gather Your Materials:
- Non-toxic washable paint in various colors
- Canvas, paper, or any surface suitable for painting
- Paintbrushes or sponge brushes
- Baby wipes or damp cloths for easy clean-up
- Treats to reward your cat for their cooperation
2. Prepare Your Workspace:
- Lay down newspaper or a plastic sheet to protect your surfaces from paint spills.
- Set up your materials within easy reach.
3. Choose the Right Moment:
- Select a time when your cat is calm and relaxed, preferably after they've eaten or had a nap.
- Ensure your cat is comfortable with handling their paws. If they're not, you can gently introduce the idea by touching their paws during cuddle time.
4. Introduce Your Cat to the Paint:
- Place a small amount of non-toxic washable paint on a paper plate or palette.
- Let your cat sniff and investigate the paint at their own pace. Encourage them with gentle praise and treats.
5. Capture the Pawprints:
- Dip your cat's paw into the paint, ensuring it's evenly coated but not overloaded.
- Carefully press their paw onto the canvas or paper, applying gentle pressure to create a clear print.
- Experiment with different colors and patterns to add depth and interest to your artwork.
6. Get Creative:
- Once the pawprints have dried, use paintbrushes or sponge brushes to embellish and enhance the prints with additional details or background elements.
- Let your imagination soar as you transform the pawprints into unique works of art. Consider adding your cat's name or a special message to personalize the piece further.
7. Display and Enjoy:
- Allow your masterpiece to dry completely before framing or displaying it in your home.
- Share your creation proudly with friends and family, celebrating the special bond between you and your beloved feline companion.
