Bleach: A Cleaning Mainstay
Every cattery needs to have an effective cleaning routine. The mainstay of cleaning products is good old-fashioned bleach.
Possum: A Tail of Two Kitties
“Possum” is the name of a most unusually marked kitten. Half Himalayan and half tortoiseshell, this unique feline is a chimera – the result of two different embryos fusing and growing as a single individual.
A-Maze-ing
A cat owner built his kitties a maze made out of 50 cardboard boxes — plus hidden snacks for his feline duo. And he made a video too.
FEATURED SUBSCRIBER ARTICLES
Do you believe in helping your pregnant queen deliver her kittens? Or do you mostly leave her alone to have her babies? Learn the pros and cons of each style.
Scurf On A Cat From Being Bred
Scurf (dry, flaky skin condition) that is unique to cats, is the result of the irritation to the skin when it is gripped by the teeth of a male cat as he grabs and holds the female’s skin on the back of her neck when mounting and attempting to breed.
Retained Placenta in a Cat
One of the responsibilities the breeders assumes during the birth of a litter is counting the placentas to make sure that the number of expelled placentas is equal to the number of kittens born. A retained placenta is a serious risk to the queen’s health.
E. Coli 'Blooms' In Felines
Acute or chronic diarrhea that fails to respond to normal medications may be the result of an overgrowth of E. coli bacteria in your cat’s digestive tract. This overgrowth is called an E.coli “bloom”.
Kitten Has His Leg Amputated
This is the story of a blue Abyssinian kitten named Ajani. It is the story of a freak accident… of a loss… of the feline spirit… and of life lessons learned.
Medicated Shampoos
If your cat suffers from dry irritated skin, or fleas, or a fungal infection like ringworm, choosing the right medicated shampoo may be the answer to addressing your kitty’s problem.
Head Tilt In A Kitten
A head tilt is a persistent tilt or turn of the head along the cat’s central axis. A head tilt usually indicates that may be a problem in the animal’s middle or inner ear.
One of the most important skills you can teach your kittens and cats is to use a scratching post for all their clawing exercise. It is not nearly as difficult as you might think.
