Cats, along with dogs need stimulation especially in the winter. Screen games can be awesome, but be sure to also give your feline bestie some real life toy-play so s/he doesn’t become overly frustrated.

Tonight the Madison Common Council will be voting on a proposal that would make it illegal to declaw cats in the city of Madison. We strongly support this proposal and encourage everyone to contact the Council at [email protected] to express their support. You can also register your support here: https://www.cityofmadison.com/city-hall/committees/common-council/12-07-2021 for agenda item #43 (67344). You can register to speak at the Council meeting via that link as well.

Declawing is a procedure that we've always opposed and thankfully it's much less common than it has been in the past. It's been illegal in many European countries for decades and has been banned in several US cities, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, and Austin, as well as the entire state of New York. Let's help Madison join that list and do our part to make the world a better place for cats.

Fast play increases arousal chemicals in the brain and body. This can be part of an undesirable process known as trigger stacking.

Dr. Batson also noted that fast play reduces blood sugar, which reduces sugar in the brain. The pre-frontal cortex in the brain moderates behavior. To work properly, it needs to be full of sugar to make rational choices.

Her suggestion to keep arousal levels in check is not to eliminate fast play, but to shorten sessions and add more "slow" activities like sniffaris, walks following your dog's pace, and watching the world go in tandem with your dog.
