Cats and Egypt share a long and interesting history. Many cat experts believe that
ancient Egyptians were the first to keep cats at home. At first, it was a practical matter as
cats were brought in to protect homes from pests like rats and cockroaches. Eventually
though, ancient Egyptians; especially the wealthy, started to adopt cats as pets.
Paintings on tombs and other buildings show spotted, slender cats, which are believed to be
the first domestic cats. It is believed that these early Egyptian cats were the ancestors of the
Egyptian Mau. This kind is not as well-known as other cat kinds.
Whoever killed a cat in ancient Egypt was put to death. Amazingly there were also
laws preventing the exportation of cats. Ancient Egyptians loved cats and were very sad
whenever any of the family cats died. Cats were kept and even mummified after death. Cat
tombs have been discovered along the River Nile and cat mummies can be found in the
tombs of many Egyptians.
Nowadays, cats are part of the homes of many people around the world. People love
their company. Some can't live without having cats as friends. They take good care of them
by providing food and taking them to doctors when necessary.

vvvvv16-year-old Pat Tulloch has an unusual hobby. She makes cheese on the family farm
in Australia. She began by making yoghurt with her mother when she was little. Then, she
started watching her father’s workers make cheese. When she was ten, she made some
cheese by herself for the first time. ‘It wasn’t great,’ she says, ‘but the workers told me
what I was doing wrong and that helped me to slowly get better.’
Pat always needs good milk for her cheese, but she doesn’t have to buy it. Her mother
and father keep 20 cows on their farm. Pat can just ask them when she needs more.
Last year, Pat’s neighbour gave her a young cow to keep and look after, but it doesn’t
produce milk to make cheese, yet.
Pat and her family make many types of cheese. Recently, they won a prize for one of
them. ‘It’s been great for helping people find out about us,’ says Pat. ‘Last month we
started selling cheese in New Zealand. People there read about our prize in a food
magazine. Soon we’re going to do some advertisements, too.’
Pat’s next idea is to post some online recipes for cooking with cheese. ‘One of my
favourites is cheese with eggs for breakfast. It’s great! Our cheese is also lovely with pasta
– I hope a restaurant might buy some of our recipes one day.’ But right now, Pat is still at
school. ‘Making cheese is fun and winning a prize for it is great but doing well in my
studies matters more for now.’

It is bad to have food stuck between your teeth for long periods of time. This is
because food attracts germs which produce acid, and acid hurts your teeth and gums.
Flossing helps to remove the food that gets stuck between your teeth. It has been widely
accepted that the use of floss has a favourable effect on plaque removal and disease
prevention more than regular brushing.
The American Dental Association which provided many researches on dental health
issues, reports that up to 80% of plaque can be removed with flossing. This fact explains
why flossing helps to keep your mouth healthy, but some doctors say that it can be also good
for your heart. It may seem strange that something you do for your teeth can have any effect
on your heart.
One idea is that the germs that hurt your teeth can leave the mouth and travel into
your blood. Germs that get into the blood can attack your heart. Another idea is based on the
fact that when there are too many germs in your mouth, the body tries to fight against these
germs. For some reason, the way the body fights these mouth germs may end up weakening
the heart over time.
Some doctors think that people who have bad flossing habits also have heart
problems, and people who have good flossing habits have healthy hearts. The theory that
flossing your teeth helps to keep your heart healthy might not be true. But every doctor
agrees that flossing is a great way to keep your teeth healthy.
