Feline acne is a common problem seen in cats. It is probably more common than is generally appreciated, as most cases are mild and pass unnoticed.This acne is a condition in which comedones (blackheads) develop on the chin of a cat. Feline acne is actually much more common than many people think.It can be found in cats of any sex, breed or age. Feline acne is more apparent and noticeable in white

Saturday, June 14, we went to the Twilight tour at The Exotic Feline Breeding Compound's Feline Conservation Center in Rosamond, CA. They have several fund raisers a year where you can come in and see all the animals in the evening. Most of the cats active in the evening compared to earlier in the day. Unfortunately it was in the high 90s that day, so several of the

Introduction to Feline MagickWhat is it about the cat that we are so drawn to? This answer may vary depending upon whom you ask. For myself, it is many things about her that I am drawn to; her power, her gentleness, her aggressive, her eyes, the way she carries herself and all that she gives in her love.I have owned many in my lives and in this lifetime, only a few. My first one came to me from a neighbor, she was black with bright green eyes, and was always there for me; even if I wasn’t for her. She was a powerful and wonderful cat. Her name was Black Widow, Widow for short. She was a Pisces, amazingly powerful and intuitive as to when I was home from my trips. She was a free spirited cat and one of my strongest familiars. I had her for many years until she fell ill and I had to put

Cats have won the popularity contest. More people now have cats in their homes as pets than any other pet. Cats are unique animals. They can be funny, mysterious and cuddly. They can also be perplexing. Accepting up front that you have a tiger in the house can go a long way toward understanding cat behavior problems. Even though cats have been domesticated for ages, their feline behavior has remained much like that of a jungle cat like the lion or the tiger. Even our adorable little pussycats still retain certain predatory instincts, so much of what appears to be cat behavior problems only reflects their genetic brain formation for the life they were originally meant to lead. If you have raised a kitten, or more than one kitten, you will undoubtedly notice that kittens become aggressive in

Feline hyperesthesia syndrome is mostly seen in young cats under five years of age but can affect older cats as well.

I set about making a few vats of carrot juice, glug a gallon or two with a Centrum chaser. I shall remain healthy if it kills me. This provides enough energy to bake a dozen muffins with the left over pulp. Small people perseverate on the usual matters with one new addition, “not a stork, it’s an egg head!” Ordinarily I would enquire into the source but I am far too grumpy. It’s probably something to do with storks and babies, and I am in no mood to commence a sex education lecture to a seven year old. I swallow another couple of Advil as I can't afford to be wiped out by Vicodin. In an ideal world I would opt for a pout but I can only just manage a glower, which I hope is enigmatic.

Just a few times in our lifes we really feel Pumuckl is not a male. Such a time we are in now, cause since two days we have the hassle! Pumuckl wants a tomcat!Still, also if it is already the third time, we cannot believe that our little one has such feelings. He is still small in size and imagining him having this feeling is still hard. Until now we didn't let the vet do a castration with him as we had such a bad experience with Chica. And on the other hand this season with him has never been that annoying as with Chica. Chica, with her deep voice, standing in balcony for hours meow to all the cats in the street that came running to make an orchestra with her.

Cats are amazing, unique and intelligent animals. Any cat lover knows this instinctually and believes they have a wonderful connection and understanding of their kitty. It comes as a surprise to many when their adorable cat misbehaves by clawing furniture, being antisocial, refusing to use the kitty litter and so on. We ask ourselves why and wonder why normal animal training techniques do not work. While there are many reasons of all of these things one of the core concepts you need to know when you have cat training problems is how to really communicate with your feline.Cats communicate in four ways:VisualThe first and easiest way to communicate with you cat is to understand their visual cues. While there are more obvious cues like wagging tail when annoyed and the ears going back when sc

Feline acne is a common problem seen in cats. It is found on the cat's chin & lips. It is generally accepted that this is caused by plastic bowls and for many cats the solution is simply substituting the plastic bowl for a stainless steel bowl or a glass bowl. The problem may be caused by the inability of the cat to clean his chin properly after drinking the milk resulting in a nutrient rich habitat for bacteria. Several factors appear to be associated with its development including stress, a suppressed immune system, poor grooming habits, the presence of other diseases, contact or atopic dermatitis, and skin conditions in which abnormal amounts of oils are produced. Feline acne is more common during the spring and fall shedding seasons, because this is when the body undergoes a cleansing process.Feline acne occurs equally in male and female cats, and in cats of all ages and breeds. Symptoms are usually mild, and include red, swollen pores or black, clogged pores. Feline acne can

Cats are one of the most popular pets in North America. They are loving pets, capable of providing you years of companionship. Like other pets, cats can sometimes get sick. There are several different types of ailments that cats can get, one of which is feline diabetes. Feline diabetes is a serious disease, although it can be treated by a veterinarian.Diabetes is more common with humans than with cats or other animals. The cause of diabetes is actually quite simple. Sugar, or glucose, is found in the blood. The level of blood sugar in the body or the animal is kept under control by hormone insulin, which the pancreas produces. When the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin, diabetes is to blame.The symptoms of feline diabetes will vary. The most common symptoms include an increase in urine and an increase in thirst. Other symptoms of feline diabetes include a loss of appetite, weight loss, and a poor coat. An increase in thirst is easy to detect, as you can easily notice

Artificial respiration is needed when a cat has a heartbeat but is not breathing. It is very important to never try to attempt this on a cat who is breathing on her own. The steps to perform artificial respiration on a cat in an emergency are as follows: If the cat is wearing a collar, remove it. Then open her mouth and pull the tongue outward so that it won’t block the throat and check for any foreign bodies. Next you will want to clear the mouth of any excess saliva and mucous. If the cat was underwater or has any vomit in her mouth, suspend her upside down by the hips and then gently swing her body a few times to remove the liquid. The next thing to do is to lay the cat on her right side making sure that her body is slightly higher than her head. To ensure an open air passage, the head and neck should be straight. And lastly with her tongue pulled forward, place your mouth over her nose only, do not cover her mouth. You will then proceed to blow air into her nostrils for abo

Cats are usually very stoic creatures but when it comes to feline arthritis, even the toughest tabby of them all will eventually give in and complain. Feline arthritis is a progressive, non-infectious disease characterized by joint swelling and pain. It can appear at any age but it usually affects middle-aged or geriatric cats.What causes feline arthritis?Certain factors contribute to the development of feline arthritis. These may include trauma, such as those caused by accidents or injuries to the joints, congenital disorders and developmental disorders. A commonly overlooked factor that usually leads to feline arthritis is obesity, which usually causes excessive weight to bear down on joints and cause too much pressure.There are several types of feline arthritis. These include:Progressive polyarthritis. This is characterized by arthritis affecting multiple joints and often worsens with age. Progressive polyarthritis usually affects the hock, wrist and feet. It can be severely painful

It is not unusual for us to have more than one pet in our lives. We have more money and leisure time to spend on our pets than we did years ago and so more and more of us are choosing to live with two or more animal companions. This is great for us, as it means that we have more furry friends in our lives to keep us sane. However this also means that animals are more likely to form bonds and relationships with other animals, whereas in the past this was not the case.Cats are not pack animals like dogs and so are quite happy being the only animal around. In fact most of the time they give other animals a wide birth. However now that more and more cats are being homed together, their relationships with each other are changing. It is now not uncommon for cats to form very close bonds with other cats in their family circle. They can now often be seen grooming each other and sleeping together on the same cushion. So we should not be surprised that they will grieve the loss of another cat, j

Feline Infectious Enteritis ( or FIE) by: Laurie Buckley, admin Also known as Feline Panleukopaenia. FIE is a disease that strikes suddenly and progresses very quickly to death. If FIE is suspected, action must be taken immediately. Symptoms are diarrhea, loss of appetite, vomiting of bile, cries of pain if touched, followed lastly by total collapse. FIE affects cats of all ages and those who do survive appear to have lifelong immunity. Vaccination against FIE in kittenhood, however, with yearly boosters, is almost totally effective.

Points by: Laurie Buckley, admin A cat’s ‘Points’ are the ears, nose, feet, and tail. For example, in cats which have a pointed pattern coat, their basic coat color is confined to the points. The remainder of the cats body is usually a pale cream, fawn, or white. The white may have a bluish, creamy, or ivory tinge to it. For show cats the colorpointing must match the basic body color. An example of this would be, a blue point must have a bluish-white body.

It would be preposterous to think of cats as generally conservative (Kerry took every cat demographic except Southern Grey Tabbies with more than three litters). In fact, as evidenced by the sparsity of targeted cat advertising by the Republican party, conservatives have all but given up on the cat vote. All except one, that is. Led by Ferdinand of Conservative Cat, a small but motivated group of conservative cats or "catcons," have begun to gain influence within the cat community. "I grew tired of seeing cats live off the work of others. It used to be that cats were too proud to take charity. Our ancestors would prefer to clear a whole pyramid of mice than take one unearned scrap from 'the Man.' I eventually ran into other cats who felt the same way and we started a group called the Tuesday club. We met for breakfast, discussed the great issues of the day. It was invigorating. Eventually, as our numbers grew, we started the blog and we haven't looked back since." When asked wh

Cat litter has definitely provided a lot of pet and homeowners with so much convenience. Before cat lovers had to put up with the unbearable stench of cat urine and feces but thanks to cat litter, Pussy's excrements are easy to eliminate and no longer as bad smelling. There are many different kinds and brands of cat litter in the market and one of the best of them all is pine cat litter.Cat litter is used as a filling material for cat litter boxes where house cats defecate or urinate. The cat litter is supposed to absorb the moisture and reduce the bad smell coming from urine and feces, making the litter box more bearable at home. Pine cat litter fulfills these roles remarkably well, making it one of the best choices as a litter box filler.There are different kinds of cat litter available in the market, allowing cat owners to choose from the wide variety according to their tastes and purposes. Some cat lovers choose cat litter for their odor control and absorbing power. Others choose

GARY, Indiana (SNS) -- A powerful new feline drug has been flooding the streets of Gary, Indiana in the past few months, with certain parts of the city seeing addiction rates of up to 75%.Catnip has been known to cause high levels of euphoria and relaxation in common house cats for centuries and is considered an acceptable narcotic for cats. Within the past couple years opportunistic drug cartels have been extracting the active ingredient, nepetalactone, and mixing it with methamphetamines, a highly addictive and dangerous psycho stimulant. The concoction is known by its street name "catcain" and is usually snorted. "I've been addicted to catcain for 2 years now," Bailey said as he pawed at an old beat up ball of yarn. "A couple friends of mine got the drug a couple years ago and told me it was the greatest thing they’ve ever had. It was supposed to be non-addictive, a 'party enhancer', no one ever told me it was full of meth! My life is ruined, I was run out of my house with a

I think my babybonn is having an asthma. But never brings her to the vet for diagnosis. Bad me :(Feline asthma is a respiratory disease that is described as involving hyperreactivity, inflammation, and airflow obstruction of the airways that will spontaneously reverse or respond to treatment. In other words one of the characteristics of feline asthma is that it comes and goes and responds very well to steroid treatment. This article will explore the cause and treatment of this disease that appears to be very similar in both humans and felines.Who gets it?Cats between the ages of one and eight years are the most likely to develop asthma. Female cats are twice as likely to get it as male cats. It can occur any time of the year and there doesn't appear to be an increased incidence in any one season. It is estimated that less than one percent of all cats will ever develop feline asthma.What are the symptoms?The symptoms vary widely in severity and range from an occasional episode of cough

What is diabetes mellitus? Diabetes mellitus-also known as “sugar” diabetes-is a complex but common disease in which a cat’s body either doesn’t produce or doesn’t properly use insulin. During digestion, the fats, carbohydrates, and proteins that are consumed in the diet are broken down into smaller components that can be utilized by cells in the body. One component is glucose, a fuel that provides the energy needed to sustain life. Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas, is responsible for regulating the flow of glucose from the bloodstream into the cells of the body. When insulin is deficient or ineffective, the cat’s body starts breaking down fat and protein stores to use as alternative energy sources. As a result, the cat eats more yet loses weight. Additionally, the cat develops high levels of sugar in the bloodstream, which is eliminated in the urine. In turn, sugar in the urine leads to excessive urination and thirst. Cat owners often

What is Feline Immunodeficiency Virus? Virologists classify feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) as a lentivirus (or “slow virus”). FIV is in the same retrovirus family as feline leukemia virus (FeLV), but the viruses differ in many ways including their shape. FIV is elongated, while FeLV is more circular. The two viruses are also quite different genetically, and the proteins that compose them are dissimilar in size and composition. The specific ways in which they cause disease differ, as well. How common is the infection? FIV-infected cats are found worldwide, but the prevalence of infection varies greatly. In the United States, approximately 1.5 to 3 percent of healthy cats are infected with FIV. Rates rise significantly-15 percent or more-in cats that are sick or at high risk of infection. Because biting is the most efficient means of viral transmission, free-roaming, aggressive male cats are the most frequently infected, while cats housed exclusively indoors are much l

Feline Infectious Peritonitis What is feline infectious peritonitis (FIP)? Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a disease caused by a coronavirus infection. Many different strains of coronavirus are capable of infecting cats, but most do not produce serious disease. FIP-producing strains are distinguished by their ability to invade and grow in certain white blood cells. The infected cells transport the virus throughout the cat’s body. An intense inflammatory reaction occurs in the tissues where these virus-infected cells locate. It is this interaction between the body’s own immune system and the virus that is responsible for the disease. Infected cats shed coronavirus in their saliva and feces. Most cats become infected by inhaling or ingesting the virus, either by direct contact with an infected cat, or by contact with virus-contaminated surfaces like clothing, bedding, feeding bowls, or toys. Although the virus can survive for a number of weeks in the environment, it

This disease This is a common allergic respiratory disease in cats, affecting at least one percent of all adult cats worldwide. It is a chronic progressive disease for which there is no cure. Common symptoms include wheezing, coughing, labored breathing and potentially life-threatening bronchoconstriction. There is conjecture that the disease is becoming more common due to increased exposure to industrial pollutants. Fopr treatment standard veterinary practice recommended injected and oral medications for control of the disease. These drugs may have systemic side effects including diabetes and pancreatitis. In 2000, Dr. Philip Padrid pioneered inhaled medications using a pediatric chamber and mask using Flovent(r) (fluticasone) and albuterol. Inhaled treatments reduce or eliminate systemic effects. from wikipedia

I've had my MiuMiu neutered a few years ago. Since he's the only male cat @my house, I didnt get Girl & BabyBonn spayed (oopss..Babybonn is about 5 years and shes a virgin!) ..In case you are unsure about Neuter & Spay, here's some info about it."Female cats are spayed by removing their reproductive organs, and male cats are neutered by removing their testicles. In both cases the operation is performed while the pet is under anesthesia.Depending on your pet's age, size, and health, he or she will stay at your veterinarian's office for a few hours or a few days. Depending upon the procedure, your pet may need stitches removed after a few days. Your veterinarian can fully explain spay and neuter procedures to you and discuss with you the best age at which to sterilize your pet."WHy its GOOD to neuter/spay your pet?Spaying and neutering helps cats live longer, healthier lives. Spaying and neutering can eliminate or reduce the incidence of a number of health problems that can

My neighbour Mrs. Smith came running to our home last Sunday to inform that her beloved cat Tiger is behaving quite unusually. He was drinking a lot of water (quite unusual for him) and the litter box is getting flooded with urine now and then. My Mom hardly knew what to do. But I was determined to find an answer to this strange act. The internet is just a keystroke away and Oh gosh! what have I found out! Mrs. Smith's cat Tiger is suffering from Diabetes mellitus. I immediately decided to share this information with you all since many of us may not know about this dreadful disease. Diabetes mellitus, or"sugar" diabetes, is a common disorder in cats and dogs, caused because of the failure of the pancreas gland to produce enough insulin. But, the good news is that cat diabetes is a treatable, manageable condition. The most common signs which a cat owner will first notice is the increased thirst and increased urination among the cats. Polyuria, polydipsia, increased appetite, weight lo
