Photos by | To say my experiences with polar bears have been life-changing would be an understatement. I was initially drawn to them for the same reasons as everyone else – the unique beauty of their snow-white fur, the raw strength of their features, the powerful gait with which they patrol the ice floes. But, as I spent more and more time with them, I discovered qualities I hadn't expected – a patient, loving commitment to their cubs, a subtle artistry in their hunting, and a startling vulnerability in a rapidly changing world. Personality doesn't just belong to people, and I hope these limited-edition prints from my fine art catalogue go some way towards imparting the same impression on you as they made on me. Follow me , and get to know the Arctic's most legendary apex predator up close and personal.

Skin diseases, or dermatopathies, are relatively common in cats.

Studies indicate that between 6 and 15 percent of feline patients have at least one dermatopathy and many cats suffer from more than one. Among cats presented to the dermatology service at the Cornell University Hospital for Animals, for instance, a recent study showed that 22 percent had evidence of two skin diseases and 6 percent have three distinctive skin diseases.

The most common feline skin diseases include, but are not limited to:
• Allergies to food or substances the cat comes in contact with
• Allergies to inhaled compounds
• Bacterial infection of hair follicles (folliculitis)
• Inflammation of unknown cause
• Adverse drug reactions
• Allergies to flea bites
• Ear mites
• Flea infestation
• Acne
• Abscesses
