5 GOOD REASONS FOR
HAVING YOUR CAT NEUTERED
DID YOU KNOW... |

A morning kiss, a discreet
touch of his nose landing
somewhere on the middle
of my face.
Because his long white
whiskers tickled,
I began every day laughing.

have owners. Cats have staff.'

'Cats make one of the most satisfying sounds in the world: they purr
... A purring cat is a form of high praise, like a gold star on a test
paper. It is reinforcement of something we would all like to believe
about ourselves - that we are nice.' - Roger A Caras
"Of all the [cat] toys available, none is better designed than the
owner himself. A large multipurpose plaything, its parts can be made to
move in almost any direction. It comes completely assembled, and it
makes a noise when you jump on it." -- Stephen Baker
Garfield: 28.03.86 - 12.06.06

BRUSHING
WITH KITTY
Just in case you didn't know, February
is National Pet Dental Health Month.
As many as 80% of cats have some kind of gum disease by age 3, that includes
indoor-only kitties.
Brushing a cat's teeth??? It might not be as difficult as it sounds especially
if you get your little fur ball used to it as a kitten.
Brushing With Kitty
- Get your cat
used to having her face and mouth touched. Go slowly. There's no
race. C'mon. You never did this until I mentioned it!
-
Toothbrush/Toothpaste??? Don't use "People" toothpaste. Your cat wouldn't
like it and it's not good for her. For cats - special seafood and/or poultry
flavour. Let your cat lick the pet toothpaste off your fingers. Next time,
use your pet toothbrush and let her lick the toothbrush off the brush. Since
cats are creatures of habit, try to do it at the same time each day. Yummy.
- Ok. Now, we're
down to the real thing. Make sure your cat is on a firm surface (kitty likes
to feel secure). Your lap or a counter is fine. Hold her in a hug, to
minimize squirming and maximize access to her mouth. Starting in the
front, move the brush in a circular motion along the gum line. Move to the
back teeth ...if Kitty allows. Up first, then down. NOTE: If you value your
fingers, brush ONLY the outside surface of the teeth. Unlike us, tartar
doesn't build up much on the inside of kitty's teeth, anyway.
- If you're both
comfortable, your ultimate goal will be the molars. That is usually where
plaque builds up the most. This should take about one minute once you and your
cat get the routine down.
- After each
session, follow up with some pats, playtime, or whatever it takes (even a
tartar control treat!) — Even if you don't get far, reward kitty anyway. Over
time this will become a habit. If not, at least you gave it a try.
Here's a website for toothpaste
(poultry and seafood, yes) ŕ

A
Cat's Prayer'
Lead me down all the right paths,
Keep me from fleas, bees, and baths.
Let me in should it storm,
Keep me safe, fed, and warm.
Let the sun shine where I lay,
Keep me young so I may play.
And most of all ...
Bless the people I adore,
And guard me from the dog next door.
