The plague came at a time long before anyone was breeding cats for shows or, for that matter, practicing selective breeding of cats at all. Certainly, the grainry cat, the barn cat and the street cat, the cats that hunted the rodents, were not being selectively bred. The plague hit many locations outside of the British Isles and there is no record, or even any claim here, that the Maltese Cat was imported to the many other places that saw the plague diminish and eventually die out. Of course, the importation into the British Isles isn't documented either but I'm just going after logical inconsistancies, not the likelihood that the whole thing is a lie or delusion. Perhaps the dumbest thing about the entire claim is the assumption that small cats are better at hunting rodents. The rodents that, for the most part, spread the plague were rats, not mice.

It's particularly endemic in the foothills, and people's pets have picked it up when they made a stop along the road and their dog found a sick rodent to chase or sniff at. A woman in Tahoe died of the plague a few years back, it was brought home by her cat who had picked up the rodent fleas when out hunting. Most people aren't aware of the danger, but there are warning signs posted in places, particularly when an epidemic (among rodents) breaks out about every 10 years. Scared me from taking any pets into the High Sierras. Yeah, truth is good for freedom, and knowledge is good for staying healthy. Meowy's Mom |

Here's the result (same thing from various sources): The term Maltese cat refers to blue or gray cats. Maltese cats are not a cat breed, Maltese refers to their coloring. www.cat-lovers-gifts-guide.com/Maltese-cat.html So its not a separate breed. If it was at one time, then it must be extinct. You're both right, maybe. Will is the rightest, because breeds weren't recognized as such until recent times. They were named and described by their appearance and the part of the world the British Empire brought them from to grace the manors of the aristocracy. There is only one true breed: cat We love each and every one here. Peace and love, MM |

Scared me from taking any pets into the High Sierras. *Yeah, truth is good for freedom, and knowledge is good for staying healthy.

When i was in New Mexico (fleeing my little daughter from the 3-mile Island fall-out), there were a few public (Media) reports about it (Mexicans were dying getting sick etc, not Americans) They bring it in their blankets. Did you ever see a Mexican "blanket"? They look like big, coarse, hairy, square animals (the blankets) . . . (: The area of which you speak could be a haven for illegals?

Of course, the importation into the British Isles isn't documented either but I'm just going after logical inconsistancies, not the likelihood that the whole thing is a lie or delusion. Perhaps the dumbest thing about the entire claim is the assumption that small cats are better at hunting rodents. The rodents that, for the most part, spread the plague were rats, not mice. Getting into a small space with Norwegicus, or even Indicus, would be inadvisable for the tiny cat described. The poor adorable thing would be killed.

You lie to yourself, believe it and then lie to others. -- Will in New Haven- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - So, can't we just google Maltese Cats and get the truth from Google?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Hello, No. The MalteseCat has been forgotten, extinct and off the chart for probably half a century, and why i remember it, but most posters on the Internet donot, because i myself am over three quarters of a Century. Also therearenot many of my age posting in USNET, and with my desperate drive to save my young, baby, brand new Country. When the Maltese Cat appeared on the Veterinarian’s chart, she was recognized as a specific breed, however you never even see those “charts” on Veterinarian’s walls anymore. Perhaps something in an old library could be found. If one of those “charts” existed it would be worth a lot of money to the right person (antique collector) . . . I found an old Atlas map of “Palestine” . . . That means it was before 1942. Most of those maps have probably been burned by now . . . They too should be worth a lot of money to collectors . . . “Albert Payson Terhune” books have also disappeared from the libraries (they can be found on the Internet). He published some of the most magnificent dog stories on Father's beautiful Earth. As a child i read many of them (including Black Gold), at about the same time i read "Little Women" (and, behind my mother's back, a "Tree Grows in Brooklyn" ), which also probably no longer exists. I found a Maltese Cat kitten, in a Mennonite area, far back in an old, rural wilderness of Bucks County, Pa, I actually owned one of those precious kitties. Iwas in my early 20’s at the time. It was after that, and to my surprise/shock, when I noticed theyhad disappeared off the chart. Even then it worried me . . . Now-a-days people donot distinguish between what is important from whatis a Disney Land in a Disney World. Which brings us to the fact the cat is a seriously important animal, not a toy. For example: I have a friend who tells the story of a bat that had gotten into his house. The cat caught the thing and killed it. The poor kitty died. Had the bat bit he, his children, or his wife, it could have been one of them that could have died . . . the bat was rabid. Truly Truth will set you free, according to Jesus in John 8:32. |
