Can Cats and Dogs Coexist?
2008-03-23 09:37:00
I don't know about you, but I love both cats and dogs. I hate it when people ask "Are you a cat person or a dog person? There is no reason the two "enemies?" can't get along. Agreed, you have to supervise most of the time, at first, but give it time. My dogs love my cats now. Even the little fiesty Jack Russell plays very well with my felines. I believe the cats tolerate her, as best that a cat can, and they even let down their guard when they are around her.Here are some tips to help tabby and fido to get along:1. Don't ever sic your dog on anything. They will take it as an invitation to mull the cat too.2. Let tabby defend herself and believe me, your dog will have a new found respect for her. ( We once had a golden retriever that was scared to death of our little alley cat because he backed the dog into a corner hissing and clawing like there was no tomorrow. Poor dog never got over it!)3. Give lots of love to both evenly. Remember cats get jealous, too.4. If your dog gets agg...

You just have to learn to be one step ahead of your cat.

Then, you just keep reinforcing the right behaviors and following the basic rules of cat training.1. Never punish your cat.

Cat Behavior Basics
2008-03-23 09:33:00
Why is you cat not using the litter box? Why is she scratching the couch, again? Why is he always jumping on the counters?Most people do not think cats have behavioral problems. However as most cat owners know kittens need to be taught not to jump up on the counter, eat from the sink, use the litter box and more. Many owners run into problems both with kittens and older cats behavior.Probably the most common problem is the litter box. While most kittens automatically use it, it seems later in your cat's life they decide the whole house is a toilet. There are any number of reasons why a cat, of any age could stop using the litter box.A major reason, believe it or not, is people simply forget to clean the litter box. If your cat starts going outside the box the first thing you need to try is cleaning the box, twice a day for a few weeks.If the cat still does not go in the litter box, you need to see a vet. Your cat could have a bladder infection, that could be life threatening if not...

Gentle Cat Training
2008-03-23 09:29:00
To encourage cats there must be treats and rewards. When your cat hears rustling of a food bag or a can opener sounds does you cat come running? This would be a clear illustration of such behavior. Cats hear those sounds and often related them to food rewards.Make sure to first take your pet to the veterinarian, to ensure there are no undetected health issues that be be aggrabated or intesified by the training activities.For the highest effectiveness be sure to give immediate appraisal such as treats, a full tasty meal, or even a toy as a reward just to ensure your cat has been properly encouraged to maintain good behavior.At a later time after your cat relates the saying "good" with a treat and the positive act you may later use just the saying and a nice scratch behind the ears for positive reenforcement.Using positive emphasis and reinforcement, the pet will be willing to learn good behaviors and basic instructions or commands.Training tip and guidlines:1.

Cat Breeding Profile: Somali
2008-02-29 15:38:00
The Somali is a breathtaking cat to behold. It bears an uncanny resemblance to a little fox, with its large ears, masked face, full ruff and bushy tail. The Somali?s wild, feral look is what immediately draws fascinated attention.Somalis are intelligent cats, and while active, they have soft voices and are usually quiet. They communicate with human family members through soft mews and possess a charming trill. They are extroverts and very social. Possessed with a zest for life, they love to play, solicit nuzzles and pats, and thrive on human companionship. Somalis have bursts of energy several times a day, at which time they will take off through the house, jumping into the air. They toss balls and toys in the air, fetch them back and begin the game anew. Tail and back arched, the Somali will run sideways like a monkey, and even hold objects and food the way a monkey does. Adept at opening cupboards and drawers, Somalis sometimes hide inside their secret areas. Many Somalis can mani...

Pet Health: BG Monitoring

Home Blood Glucose Testing of the Diabetic CatIf you have a diabetic cat, consider doing home blood glucose testing. After a few tests, the vast majority of cats won't mind this at all. Advantages of home testing include less stress to your cat, considerably decreased costs and time of monitoring compared to vet visits, closer control of your cat's blood glucose level by more frequent monitoring, and possible avoidance of deadly hypoglycemic episodes.This technique and the results should be discussed with your vet before any changes in the amount of insulin you give your cat.NOTE: There is some information on working with blood glucose (BG) curves in the "Diabetes for Beginners" section of this web site.Links to glucometer testing videos and slide shows: Veterinary Partner Punkin's Movie Home blood testing with Harry Amanda's hometesting page Ear Prick illustration Test strip illustration Jock's insulin pen and testingMaterials for home testing * Glucometer o...

Pet Health: PZI (Protamine Zinc Insulin)
2008-02-29 14:21:00
What is PZI?PZI (Protamine Zinc Insulin) is insulin combined with zinc and protamine (a protein extracted from salmon testes), which slow the release of the insulin into bodily tissue. Historically, the insulin component of PZI, as well as all other insulin produced for human medical use, was derived from animals, either cows or pigs. Animal-derived insulin is a by-product of slaughtering food animals. The pancreas is ground and transformed into a crystalline powder, which is sold to insulin manufacturers. No animals from countries where BSE (mad-cow disease) exists may be used. Mass-produced, genetically engineered human insulin has generally replaced animal-derived insulin in use by human diabetics. In the mid-90's in the US, beef-source insulin (including PZI formulations) were phased out by the major producers such as Lilly Pharmaceuticals. Since beef-pork PZI was the insulin most familiar and most recommended for diabetic cats, many were left scrambling (and some were, sadl...

How to Give Injections to Cats
2008-02-29 14:17:00
Daily injections of insulin for your cat? The thought may at seem daunting, but with practice the injecting of insulin in your cat will become second nature. These instructions will give you the information you need to perform injections of cat insulin with confidence.Pre-Injection Establish a pleasant routine: You should be injecting at about the same time every day. Begin with petting or grooming or maybe even a low-carb, high protein treat. (Or a tiny amount of anything they love.) At first, keep the syringe hidden or disguised. Cats do not have the clearest eyesight, so you have some leeway here. As long as the syringe is not initially in my hand ( I hold it sideways by the barrel in my mouth!), Austin is OK with my approach. After the cat becomes used to the routine, you probably won't have to do this. Many cats can be trained by verbal commands to come get their shots. If hiding the syringe while you play is too hard, consider using the CAPPED syringe to rub all over...

Insulin Administration for Cats
2008-02-29 14:14:00
Insulin 101- written by R. Jung, 2004, but with significant contributions from Kimber & Bunny. To see Kimber's document, you can look at this post on the FDMB health forum or you can go to Gorbzilla.com . Thanks, Kimber!1. KNOW THE TYPE OF INSULIN & HAVE THE RIGHT SYRINGE. All human insulins (Humulin and others) in the United States are a concentration called U-100. PZI is often U-40. The syringe must match the concentration of the insulin. To be sure you get the right syringe, take your insulin (or the insulin box) into your pharmacist when you go to buy syringes and the pharmacist will make sure you get the right syringes. When you buy the next batch of syringes, take the syringe packaging with you to make sure you buy the right type. If you must use the wrong syringe, use our conversion chart.2. FOOD. Always make sure your cat eats around the time (up to one hour before injection) of the insulin administration. This will insure that the cat has food in her stomach (and risi...

Treatment of Diabetes in Cats
2008-02-29 14:09:00
The initial shock and fear you feel when the vet tells you that your pet has diabetes can be overwhelming. Yet diabetes is a treatable condition and your pet can live a normal, happy, healthy life. Diabetes is not a death sentence for your pet!Do you think treatment is too difficult?A recent post (10/9/06) by Allie and Myrtle from the FDMB may be helpful to you:When we humans are diagnosed with an illness we head for the internet, and I'm sure it the same for many cat owners who hesitate about treating their cats. Let's say they put off the decision to put their cat to sleep until they have found out what treatment involves. Let's say they come here, and see the dedicated treatment given by everyone here ? shots, home-testing, blood curves, ketone testing, spot checks, discussions about dosages of 1.2 units or 1.75 units, U40 insulins, gauges of needles. I'll call it the 5 star treatment (or even 5+ stars for those who do tight regulation ? but let's not get into any controvers...

Diabetes in Cats for Beginners
2008-02-29 14:02:00
What is Feline Diabetes , and How Does it Affect My Pet's Health?Diabetes is a disorder affecting the processing of glucose (blood sugar) in the body. The digestive system breaks food down into various components, including glucose, that enter the bloodstream. Glucose is absorbed by cells to use for energy. Insulin is the hormone that signals the cells to take up the glucose -- without it, the glucose stays in the blood. A VERY simplified diagram is presented below to help explain this process. In a normal digestive system, the arrival of food stimulates the organ called the pancreas to secrete insulin into the bloodstream to regulate glucose levels. More food, more insulin. More insulin, less glucose in the blood (and more in cells to use for energy). At its simplest, diabetes is a disorder of this process. If there isn't enough insulin or if insulin can't act properly on cells, the glucose level in the blood stays too high and the glucose is not available for the cells to use a...

Cat Bathing as a Martial Art
2008-01-26 17:53:00
by Bud Herron, Columbus, Indiana, USA--------------Some people say cats never have to be bathed. They say cats lick themselves clean. They say cats have a special enzyme of some sort in their saliva that works like new, improved Wisk --- dislodging the dirt where it hides and whisking it away.I've spent most of my life believing this folklore. Like most blind believers, I've been able to discount all the facts to the contrary, the kitty odors that lurk in the corners of the garage and dirt smudges that cling to the throw rug by the fireplace.The time comes, however, when a man must face reality: when he must look squarely in the face of massive public sentiment to the contrary and announce: "This cat smells like a port-a-potty on a hot day in Juarez."When that day arrives at your house, as it has in mine, I have some advice you might consider as you place your feline friend under your arm and head for the bathtub: * Know that although the cat has the advantage of quickness and ...

Your Role in Cat Pregnancy
2008-01-26 17:15:00
Hi, i'm Fuzzy! I wanted to take a bit of time to talk to you today about cat pregnancy. You see, if we are not spayed it's likely going to happen.Cats will usually go into heat at about 3-4 months of age and after that we will have only one thing on our minds, mating. After the heat cycle begins it will be very hard to keep us inside the house. We will yell alot and creep around the door just waiting for the oppurtunity to sneak out.If we get out you can be sure that we will have no problem finding a companion. Sometimes the boy cats will even fight for the oppurtunity.If you aren't sure if your cat is pregnant I will give you some inside tips. About three weeks after breeding you will notice that our nipples will start to swell and turn red, we will be hungry all the time, and we may even throw up. Our personality will change too and we will want to cuddle all the time.If you decide that your furry friend is pregnant you should take her to the vet immediately for a health check-...
