As a predator, being digitigrade helps cats approach their prey silently. Since cats are prey themselves, speed is also critical. I find it funny though that as silent as cats can be, they also have the ability to sound like horses galloping down a hallway in the middle of the night when you're trying to sleep.

If you have a multicat household, pay attention to whether one cat gets nosed out of the food bowl or hesitates to approach the feeding station until the other cats are gone. Mealtime should be peaceful. It may mean separating the bowls a little more, or it may mean setting up additional feeding stations in other rooms. Watch for signs of intimidation.

From Schwarzman Animal Medical Center: Leptospirosis in Dogs

Alert!🚨 Schwarzman Animal Medical Center's 24/7 ER has seen a spike in cases of leptospirosis. We urge our clients to take steps to protect your beloved pets against this potentially deadly disease.

Leptospirosis or "lepto" is a bacterial disease that can lead to life-threatening kidney and liver failure. Dogs can contract leptospirosis by drinking or playing in water contaminated with urine from rodents or other infected animals.
Signs may include thirst, lethargy, vomiting, joint pain, or jaundice, but many dogs show no signs at all. The disease can spread to other species, including humans, so it's important to take precautions to minimize the risk.

Awareness and early intervention are key. Please share this information with other pet owners. To learn more about leptospirosis, read our pet health library article at the link below.

Place scratching posts where your cat spends the most time. If your cat scratches the furniture, put posts next to those objects to provide a better option. In a multicat home, have several scratching posts scattered around.

Vertical scratching posts need to be tall, sturdy, and covered in a claw-appealing texture such as sisal. For horizontal scratching, use corrugated cardboard scratch pads or sisal pads.

Scratching serves many functions so it's not just about conditioning the claws. Scratching is a marking behavior, a way for a cat to stretch, and it's also a displacement behavior. Scratching is an important part of a cat's life.

The laser light toy may initially appear to be a great way to give your cat some exercise. The problem though, is that it doesn't provide the tactile satisfaction of having "caught" anything. Cats have carpal whiskers on their paws that tell them when they have captured the prey and whether there's any movement or not. With the laser toy, your cat never gets that message. Playtime isn't just about getting your cat to move, it's also about providing satisfaction and building confidence. Don't frustrate your cat. Use an actual interactive toy so your cat can enjoy being a successful hunter.

If your cat is obsessed with the laser toy, start the game with the laser and then direct the light onto an actual interactive toy. This way, you can gradually wean your cat off the frustrating light.

On top of caring for dozens of adoptable cats, Anne Levin once raised an orphaned baby subway rat. She named him Alexander Hamilton.

Mandatory spay and neuter laws may sound like a good idea on paper, but many ignore major reasons why cats aren't spayed and neutered--which comes down to lack of access, lack of funding, and lack of lifesaving programs.

Many people simply can't afford to spay/neuter their pets. And, community cats do not have owners and rely on good Samaritans and community programs to provide services for them.

The way forward is more low-cost and no-cost spay and neuter and community-supported and funded TNR programs. Money is far better spent on these efforts than enforcing punitive laws.

If you used the Glendale ASPCA Clinic yesterday with cats in traps… make sure you double check your cats. I know people often work in teams so the person who picked up the cats may not be familiar with the cats. Contact Diane E. Cazares if you have the wrong cats.
