Have you ever seen your cat chattering their teeth while staring intently at a bird or squirrel outside? This behavior might be more instinctual than we realize. Feline behavior specialists have noted the similarity between the teeth chattering noise and the neck bite that wild cats use to quickly kill their prey.

Kittens and cubs in the wild have the opportunity to practice this special bite, but house cats may show their excitement or frustration at seeing potential prey they can't get to. If you notice your cat's tail getting puffy or twitching in a particular way while they make these chattering noises, it's a sign they're getting excited.

🚨🐶 Keep your pets safe from rabies! 🐱🚨

Rabies is a viral disease that can be deadly for both pets and humans. It's transmitted through bites from infected animals like bats, skunks, raccoons, and foxes. The virus attacks the brain and spinal cord, leading to severe symptoms such as aggression, excessive drooling, and seizures. Sadly, there's no cure for rabies, and it's almost always fatal once signs appear.

Protect your pet from rabies by keeping them up-to-date on their rabies vaccine. Don't forget to keep your distance from wild animals, and always supervise your pet when outside. If you're concerned about rabies or need to schedule a vaccine appointment, give us a call at (585) 546-1550 to speak with a veterinarian.

🐀🚫 Rodenticides are extremely toxic to pets and can cause serious harm if ingested!

👀 Most rodenticides work by inhibiting the rodent’s ability to clot blood, which can cause internal bleeding in cats and dogs. If your pet has ingested rat or mouse poison, look out for lethargy and pale gums.

🙀 Don't wait for symptoms to appear—contact your veterinarian immediately for treatment!

💊 This situation is highly treatable if caught early, so be vigilant to keep your pets safe and healthy.🐶🐱
