NEWS FOR CAT LOVERS
Research on cats is far less common than for dogs,
so it will be interesting to see what will be learned by
this new project, headed by Yunjeong Kim, a research
assistant professor at the College of Veterinary Medicine
at Kansas State University.
Kim said, "Feline coronavirus can cause gastroenteritis,
and calicivirus often causes ulcerative upper respiratory
infection with gingivitis and stomatitis. In most cases,
these viral infections are mild and self-limited."
However, when they become severe, they are deadly and
are known as FIP and vs-FCV.
Her work is being supported by a $156,342 award from
the Morris Animal Foundation.

Someone sent me an interesting question the other day.
What's the most affordable and healthiest type of food for my cat?
Here's my answer:

TAKE ACTION TO HELP ANIMALS IN NEED
===================================
How to help the animals:
1. 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.
2. Buy my books if you haven't yet. Sales are used to
help support all the cats here. And they make great
holiday gifts, too! Thank you.

Thought for today:
Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness
of character, and it may be confidently asserted that he who is
cruel to animals cannot be a good man."
