Those of you who have had an elderly cat , you most likely experienced your pet become confused , vocalize in the night , wander aimlesssly , not sleep, even simply stand in the middle of the room and stare. Your Vet probably diagnosed old age or dementia .
Research has shown our elderly dementia cats have amyloid-beta protein build up in the brain . Exactly like people with Alzheimer’s disease.
Medical researchers are anxious to strat using the cat as a model for this devastating disease.
I just hope they can use that same data to help our cats too !!!

$$$$$$$$$$
Having a pet costs a lot these days.
In Chicago there is a 6X increase in pets being surrendered to animal shelters.
Pet related Housing fees, food costs and veterinary care are forcing people to think twice about owning a pet.
I predict a decrease in pet ownership in the coming years 😟

What’s really bothersome is people adopt a pet before thinking about costs and THE PET SUFFERS when it isn’t given a good home or adequate food or vet care due to finances .

Think before you adopt !

Concrete slabs for cats?? You can’t make this stuff up .
Apparently cats love them and people are buying them!
Over the years I’ve learned not to try and explain some cat behavior . My sister asked me once , “why does my cat look at me like that ?” I laughed, and answered, “how the hell should I know !”
So why do cats like concrete slabs?
A few Vets have taken a stab at answering this question . 1-The concrete is cool in summer and warm in winter 2-it’s rough texture acts a scratching post 3- interesting odors are trapped in the croncrete.

Location may play a roll . Cats stake themselves out in prominent places.

And finally: because it’s new!
Cats love new things , be it a paper bag, toy, or food.

I wonder how long cats stay interested in their new slab?
Love to hear from concrete owning cat owners😊

BABIES GET RABIES !

If you come across a litter of abandoned baby wild animals handle with care !!
The rabies virus will infect and kill any warm blooded animal AT ANY AGE!
I’ve read numerous reports over the years of a family rescuing a litter of baby skunks or raccoons or rabbits only to discover some had rabies.
Don’t be fooled on how cute and innocent they look. Handle with care . Better yet don’t handle them at all . Call Animal control .
