NEWS FOR CAT LOVERS
===================================
This issue I will begin a series of articles with
information about flea and tick treatment and
prevention. With warmer weather already here in
many locations, and summer around the corner, this
will become an important situation for us and our
kitties.
Read my first article here to see a case study
from one of our readers:

Thanks to Skip for letting us put him and his
kitty in the spotlight!
-----------------------------
On another important topic, here's an email from Bob,
a regular reader:
Hello Ms Kitty;
Our local news show in Milwaukee had a special
on pets' oral health and recommended this website:
http://www.vohc.org/accepted_products.htm
VOHC stands for Veterinary Oral Health Council.
The link goes directly to the page of approved
products sold to help pets' dental hygiene.
Note that most are for dogs, however, it also says
Feline Greenies® Feline Dental Treats will be
awarded the VOHC Seal of approval (in June).
I thought you might like to share this information
with your readers.
It might be nice to know for sure this organization
is independent of the pet food industry, but I don't
know that for sure.
Bob Evans
PS: Do you know how serious dental hygiene is for
our pets and how what they eat affects that health?
Do you know of any way to properly care for our pets'
teeth that we can do on an inexpensive basis?
Your advice and columns have always been very informative,
and have helped us a lot.
Thank you,
Bob
Bob, I will find more information on this topic for next
time. I was overwhelmed with flea questions this month.

CAT FOOD NEWS
===================================
Here's a helpful note from Karen:
"I kept forgetting to go to the feed animals links,
so I came up with a solution. I have been doing it
for over month. I put a reminder on my daily calendar,
so now I get an alert every day at 10am. I also have
these links in a bookmark folder on my bookmarks bar
in Safari. (I am on a Mac, so all this might have to
be done differently on a PC, but I am sure there's a
way.) When I get the alert to feed animals, I click
the bookmark folder and choose the option to open in
tabs. I click as appropriate and am done. It takes no
more than 30 seconds in all, if that much."

TAKE ACTION TO HELP ANIMALS IN NEED
===================================
These sites provide up to date information on how to help animals:
1. http://www.hipaws.com/help.html
Help feed the kitties that didn't get adopted. There is a secure
PayPal donation button at the bottom of the page.
2. I'm using the Vanishing Species stamps that I mentioned
in the October newsletter, now that they have been made
available for sale. They cost 11 cents more, but the extra
is sent to several conservation funds to help endangered
species. Read more here, to find out how to obtain these
new Vanishing Species stamps:

3. Always remember to check with your local shelter
to see what they need. Your donation will go directly
to the animals, in sharp contrast to some of the large
national groups, whose donation income goes toward
large administrative salaries and other expenses, not
necessarily for animals.
