CFA Championship Class
2007-06-20 15:16:00 The majority of cats start their show careers in the Kitten class, and once they reach the age of eight months advance from there to Cham pion ship Class (described here) or Premiership Class. All cats entered in the show compete against other cats of the same breed and sex and color for awards. Every registered cat over the age of eight months starts its show career in the Championship and Premiership in the OPEN class. A first place award (blue) in the OPEN class is accompanied by a red/white/blue Winners Ribbon. Once a cat has collected six of these winners ribbons, it becomes a Champion. At its next show it will be eligible to compete against other champions for points toward the Grand Champion title. After a judge has handled all of the open cats in a breed, division or color grouping, he judges the champions in that group. He then awards first, second and third place ribbons to the three best males, and to the three best females. Next, the judge moves on to the Grand Champions... More About: Ship

Cats an Alzheimers Disease
2007-06-20 15:13:00 Ageing cats can develop a feline form of Alzheimer's disease, a new study reveals. Researchers at the Universities of Edinburgh, St Andrews, Bristol and California have identified a key protein which can build up in the nerve cells of a cat's brain and cause mental deterioration. In humans with Alzheimer's disease, this protein creates ?tangles? inside the nerve cells which inhibit messages being processed by the brain. The team says that the presence of this protein in cats is proof that they too can develop this type of disease. By carrying out post-mortem examination of cats which have succumbed naturally to the disease, scientists may now be able to uncover vital clues about how the condition develops. This may eventually help scientists to come up with possible treatments. Researchers already thought cats were susceptible to dementia because previous studies had identified thick, gritty plaques on the outside of elderly cats' brain cells which are similar to those found...

History of the Abyssinian Cat Breed
2007-06-18 22:06:00 An exact history of the Abyssinian is still really an open debate. However there are a few theories about the Abyssinian history. One of the most popular theory is that the Abyssinian came from Egypt. It is well known the Egyptians thought highly of cats and they where a very important part of Egyptian life. Images that resemble Abyssinians have been found in Egyptian?s tombs. There is a report of a cat named ?Zulu? brought back to England from Egypt in 1868 that closely resembles the Abyssinian breed. Abyssinia (which is today modern day Ethiopia ) has many rivers and streams that connect to the Nile, which would further explain the breeds attachment to Egypt. It would be very easy for this breed to travel up and down the Nile. References to Abyssinian maidens who owned this breed, where supposedly highly desirable marriage partners. There is another theory that the breed originated in England. The theory is that the British started the breed by selective breeding. This would make ... More About: History , Hist , The A , Tory
Getting a new Kitten -- Tips for Kitten proofing your home.
2007-06-18 22:05:00 When bringing a new kitten into your home keep in mind that they will be very playful and curious, which as we all know can at times get them into trouble. That?s why it is very important to kitten proof your home as much as possible. When you are in the process of kitten proofing your home keep in mind that a kitten has a much lower vantage point than you. Try an visualize what your kitten sees from his/her vantage point. Okay lets take a look at some ideas to kitten proof your home. Make sure to secure all screens on windows, many kittens will enjoy sitting in a window and a loose screen can lead to a fall. Always make sure all cleaning supplies, paint, disinfectants, etc, are kept out of your kittens reach. Make sure to keep toilet lids closed. Kitten s are attracted to the water and may want to drink from the bowl. The lid could close trapping your kitten, not to mention the chemicals used to clean the toilet bowls are not healthy for your kitten. House plants are another potenti... More About: Tips , Home
What you should know about traveling with your pet
2007-06-14 14:08:00 Planning and Preparation Planning and preparation are necessary when traveling with family pets. Consider whether your pet is comfortable when traveling. Some animals, like some people, function better in familiar surroundings. A car-sick animal can make a trip miserable for everyone. Some dogs and cats cannot withstand the rigors of travel due to illness, injury, or temperament. If this is the case, discuss options such as using a reliable pet-sitter or a clean, well-managed boarding facility with your veterinarian. If you will be staying with friends along the way, be considerate. Find out in advance if the pet is welcome. The same goes for hotels, motels, parks, and campgrounds. Always check whether pets are allowed or kennel facilities are available. If the pet must be left alone in a hotel room, place a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door and inform the maid and the front desk. Consider bringing along a portable kennel for use in hotel rooms or the homes of friends or relatives w... More About: Traveling , With You

Managed Care for companion animals.
2007-06-13 17:14:00 Managed health care for pets could be coming soon. Managed care for people, according to an American Medical Association policy, is "those processes or techniques used by any entity that delivers, administers, and/or assumes risk for health care services in order to control or influence the quality, accessibility, utilization, or costs and prices or outcomes of such services provided to a defined enrollee population." Managed care in human medicine is generally part of a health insurance program. Now managed care in veterinary medicine appears to be taking its own shape. Pethealth Inc., provider of PetCare insurance, and USA Managed Care Organization Inc., a preferred provider organization for people, have announced plans to offer a form of managed care for cats and dogs by creating the USA Pet Health Network. Mark Warren, Pethealth president and chief executive officer, said pet owners would participate by paying for an annual membership card. Then, network veterinarians would char...

Pet Health Insurance gains ground in North America
2007-06-13 17:02:00 Health insurance for companion animals can be almost as confusing as human health insurance, but it also can come in handy?particularly for an animal owner whose companion develops a major medical condition. In the United States, only a small percentage of pet owners carry health insurance for their animals. Pet insurance is the topic of many articles in the popular press, though, and insurers are selling more policies as pet owners become aware of the option. The AVMA supports the concept of companion animal health insurance. In part, the AVMA guidelines on pet health insurance state: "The Association recognizes that a viable companion animal health insurance program will be important to the future of the veterinary profession's ability to continue to provide high quality and up-to-date veterinary service." The National Commission on Veterinary Economic Issues just recently launched a new benchmarking tool regarding pet health insurance: "Do your clients know how to cushion a fall...

What you should know about selecting a cat
2007-06-12 16:48:00 Pets are an important part of the American household. Your pet-owning experience will be most enjoyable if you carefully consider which pet best suits your family, home, and lifestyle. The primary reason pets are given up to animal shelters is unfulfilled expectations, so make an informed decision. Take time, involve your family, and give careful consideration to the following questions before selecting a cat. What's special about cats? Cats make wonderful companions. Their entertaining antics and affectionate behaviors have endeared these animals to millions of owners for thousands of years. Easily house-trained and relatively low maintenance, cats make good indoor pets and most will readily adapt to a variety of environments. What choices do you have in cats? Purebred and mixed-breed cats come in a variety of shapes (head, ears, body, and tail), sizes, colors, personalities, and hair coats.

History of female veterinarians paved with individual struggles and triumph
2007-06-12 16:44:00 When Dr. Dorothy Segal enrolled in the Michigan State University preveterinary program in the 1930s, she had already overcome some challenges?a car crash delayed her planned entrance into college by almost six years?but it quickly became clear that there would be other hurdles in front of Dorothy and the other young women in her class. "There were seven girls in my class, and that was considered to be just an enormous amount (of women in veterinary school)," said Dr. Segal, now age 90. "The dean at the time (Dr. Ward Giltner) did not want women. He said, 'Go back to the kitchen.' He literally said that. The first speech he gave was, 'What are you doing here?' and he was not joking. I thought to myself, I'm going to make friends with that man if it kills me. ... Ultimately, we really became friends." Only two of the seven women bold enough to enter the Michigan State University veterinary program graduated and became veterinarians. Dr. Segal graduated in 1943, but she said she n...

Cats Bone Structure
2007-06-08 14:40:00 A cat?s bone structure is among its unique characteristics. Although man is more than 15 times the size of a cat, a cat has more bones in its body, about 244 compared with 206 in man. Many of the cat?s bones are in its tail, which is an indicator of a cat?s mood. A cat carrying its tail high is usually displaying pride and contentment. An extended tail generally tells you the cat is stalking. A tail being thrust from side to side may warn you that the cat is angry. A cat?s hind legs are longer and stronger than the front legs, enabling him to jump with skill. Observe a cat and you will notice it calculates distance before jumping. Another observation will show you that the cat walks or runs by moving the front and back legs on one side, and then the front and back legs on the other side. The camel and the giraffe are the only other animals that move in this way. Other four-legged animals move the left front leg at the same time as the right hind leg, and their right front leg wit...

Cats and Dogs -- 4 Keys to Keeping the Peace
2007-06-08 14:39:00 Cats and dogs can be wonderful companions. The key is to start them off right. Here are some tips to get you started. Try to create a good match. If you're looking to add a dog to your feline home, try to find one with a complementary personality. If you're looking at a shelter dog, find out its history, because you don't want a dog who was an avid cat chaser in his previous life. If your cat is very timid or nervous, don't pick a hyper dog who barks at everything. And training for the dog is essential. As soon as it's old enough (if it's a puppy), start doing basic training and socialization work. Your dog should be learning commands -- sit, stay, down, etc. Make proper introductions. Have your dog on a leash and come armed with lots of treats. The cat should be on the other side of the room (either in a cage or loose, depending upon his anxiety level). Work with your dog to have him focus on you -- and not the cat. The more the dog relaxes and doesn't zero in on Fluffy, th... More About: Peace , Dogs , Cats , Cats and Dogs , Keys

The 'Essentials' of a Dog's Healthy Coat from AVMA
2007-06-05 17:15:00 What a dog looks like on the outside is likely an indication of what is going on in the inside. If a dog's coat is matted, dull or has an unkempt appearance, chances are that the animal needs more essential fatty acids (EFAs) in its diet, according to a study appearing in the June 1 issue of the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (JAVMA). The study indicates that EFAs such as omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids play a critical role in the health of a dog's skin and coat and also contribute to the animal's overall good health. Pet owners are cautioned, however, that more is not necessarily better for healthy dogs. Only dogs in which skin and coat problems have been diagnosed by a veterinarian should receive essential fatty acid supplements like linseed oil or sunflower oil. "Pet foods are manufactured to maintain the health of healthy pets" and already contain adequate essential fatty acids, says Dr. John Bauer, a professor of clinical nutrition at Texa...

Ongoing recall investigation unraveling the facts
2007-06-05 16:59:00 Congress holds another hearing, considers legislation relevant to safety of pet foodMonths after the recalls of pet food began in mid-March, developments continued to unfold in response to the adulteration of ingredients from China. One of the revelations was that the ingredients in question were not wheat gluten and rice protein concentrate, as the labels indicated. Both of the ingredients were actually wheat flour containing melamine and cyanuric acid. Another revelation was that some of the ingredients went into fish food for industrial aquaculture. The Food and Drug Administration previously traced pet food with the ingredients to hog and poultry operations. The Department of Agriculture released the hogs and poultry for processing after determining meat from the animals posed little risk to human health. By mid-May, Congress already had held three hearings relevant to the situation. The FDA's new assistant commissioner for food protection, David Acheson, MD, testified about th...

FDA Announces U.S. Source of Melamine-Contaminated Fish, Cattle, Sheep and
2007-06-01 14:08:00 SCHAUMBURG, Ill. ? The FDA announced today that a U.S. company?Tembec BTLSR Inc. of Toledo, Ohio?has been identified as producing a melamine-contaminated ingredient used in domestic livestock feed as well as in domestic and exported fish feed. This is a separate contamination from the nationwide pet food recall that began March 16, in which the melamine-contaminated ingredient was imported from Chinese manufactures. Tembec has used the contaminated ingredient as a binding agent in two of its commercial fish feeds, AquaBond and Aqua-Tec II, intended for domestic use as well as for export. The company also shipped the contaminated binding ingredient to Uniscope, Inc. of Johnstown, Colo., for use in domestic livestock feed, Xtra-Bond, for cattle, goats and sheep.The FDA has advised that the contaminated fish feeds be recalled, but has not advised that the contaminated livestock feeds be recalled because they contain lower levels of melamine and melamine-related compounds, and therefor...

Tembec and Uniscope Voluntary Recall Feed Ingredients FDA Asks Feed Manufac
2007-06-01 14:07:00 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is alerting livestock and fish/shrimp feed manufacturers about a voluntary recall of products used in feed production because several have been found to contain melamine and related compounds. The feed ingredients were made by Tembec BTLSR Inc. of Toledo, Ohio and Uniscope, Inc. of Johnstown, Colo. Tembec, a contract manufacturer for Uniscope, makes AquaBond and Aqua-Tec II, which it distributes for Uniscope. Uniscope makes Xtra-Bond using ingredients supplied by Tembec. All of the products are binding agents that are used to make pelleted feed for cattle, sheep, and goats, or fish and shrimp. The companies have confirmed that Tembec added melamine as part of the formulation of the products to improve the binding properties of pelleted feed. Melamine is not approved as an additive for animal or fish/shrimp feed. The companies have stopped adding melamine to the feed products.

Pet food probe: Who was watching suppliers?
2007-05-31 13:45:00 Even some pet-food companies say they don't always know what's really in the food they sell. Or where the ingredients come from. If you long suspected pet food contained mystery meat, this won't surprise you. But for a $15 billion industry whose profits depend on consumers' trust, the admission may be the biggest revelation of all from the 8-week-old pet-food recall. Tuesday, federal officials said the contaminated pet-food ingredient from China that sickened dogs and cats nationwide was actually wheat flour ? not wheat gluten or rice protein concentrate. That had escaped the pet-food makers who thought they bought wheat gluten or rice protein concentrate. Five pet-food companies also recently said the company that made food for them added rice protein concentrate without their knowledge or consent. That came to light, the pet-food companies say, because the foods had to be recalled after the contamination was discovered. The Food and Drug Administration speculates that the whea...

Tainted pet food: Flour, in disguise, is the culprit
2007-05-31 13:44:00 The contaminated ingredients from China that led to the massive pet-food recall were both actually flour, mislabeled to look more valuable than they actually were, federal officials said Tuesday. The flour, thought to be wheat gluten and rice protein concentrate, contained melamine to appear higher in protein, the Food and Drug Administration speculated. The mislabeling went undetected by pet-food makers who used the ingredients, the importers who imported them and the FDA for weeks. The FDA also said some of the contaminated product was used to make fish feed sold to U.S. fish farms. There's no evidence that any of the fish were eaten by humans, but the health risk would be low, said David Acheson, FDA's assistant commissioner for food protection. The feed was manufactured by Skretting of Vancouver, British Columbia, and sold by a subsidiary, Bio-Oregon, which specializes in feed for young salmon, trout and steelhead.

Cicadas: A Nuisance for Humans, a Snack for Pets? AVMA advises pet owners n
2007-05-31 13:38:00 SCHAUMBURG, Ill. ? As billions of periodical cicadas emerge from the ground across Northern Illinois and neighboring states for the first time since 1990, many residents are wondering about the other critters in their lives: their pets. While most of us will try to keep contact with cicadas at a minimum, our pets might be eager to play with the buzzing bugs, or possibly sample a few as a mid-day snack. And that's perfectly fine, says Chicago veterinarian and American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) member Shelly Rubin, DVM, who has been researching cicadas in anticipation of this year's invasion and subsequent questions from concerned clients. "Pet owners have nothing to worry about," says Dr. Rubin. "While they might be a nuisance to humans, they're no danger to us or our pets. They don't sting, they don't bite, they don't carry disease, and they can be eaten without any problem at all." Dr. Rubin says that the cicadas are a good source of protein and are eaten as part...

More News on Pet Food Recall
2007-05-23 14:47:00 More details have emerged about events leading to the major recall of pet food and about the importation of ingredients from China that contained melamine, an adulterant that seems to have an association with kidney problems in cats and dogs. Some of the specifics came to light during an April 24 hearing at the House of Representatives regarding the ability of the Food and Drug Administration to ensure food safety and security. The witnesses testified about recent recalls of human and pet foods. "Foodborne illnesses and pet food contamination demonstrate serious flaws in our food safety network," said Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan, chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations within the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. "With more and more of our food, fruits, produce, and vegetables being imported, there appears to be less and less government inspection or oversight and no enforceable safety and health standards."

Feeding Your Senior Cat
2007-05-23 14:43:00 As cats grow older, their dietary needs change. Older pets are often more finicky about what they?ll eat and may prefer to eat smaller portions at a sitting. Some have fewer and more sensitive teeth than in their younger days and find it harder to eat food that requires a lot of chewing. Digestion takes longer for older pets, and their metabolism slows down. ?In general, the older the animal becomes, the less active it?s going to be,? says Dottie LaFlamme, D.V.M., Ph.D., a veterinary nutritionist with Ralston Purina. ?With less activity comes a reduction in lean muscle mass and lean body mass, so the energy requirements of the older animal tend to be reduced.? A common mistake made by owners is to feed their elderly pets the same amount of calories as was needed when the animal was younger and more active, resulting in an overweight pet; though some older animals do remain active, and require the same caloric intake to maintain their weight. ?Excess weight is especially hard on a...
