Ongoing Veterinarian Visits

Ringworm is a very common form of skin disease that is found in both
dogs and cats.  Although its name makes you think otherwise, this skin
disease isn't caused by any type of worm.  It's actually caused by
fungi known as Dermatophytes that feed on dead tissues found in the
surface of the skin, spreading them around the skin of the animal.

What Causes Worms in Cats?

Worms are a problem that many pets can be afflicted with, and although most people associate intestinal worms with dogs, they can affect cats as well. Usually, the most common feline sufferers of worms are kittens under the age of 6 months. For that reason, many vets will recommend that a cat owner vaccinate their cat against worms once a month for 6 months until they are 6 months of age. The is important because many kittens are born with worm larvae within them. De-worming kills live worms, but they do not kill worm eggs and if the worms have already laid eggs, that is the setting of the groundwork of a new infestation of worms, which is not something that anyone wants to cope with.

You can learn alot about the Law of Attraction by observing animals.  They can teach us a thing or two about living life.

Have you ever noticed that animals live in the moment?  I have never seen an animal actually contemplate what his future is going to be.  He goes along with every moment and acts accordingly.  He doesn't even question the Universe and lives his life to the fullest.  No questions; just joy and understanding.

animals have an inane ability to love unconditionally.  They don't hold it against you if you accidentally step on their tails.  They may run for the moment but they come back loving you even more than before.

When you watch your cats interacting, pretend you're watching a nature show about lions or tigers or leopards (and if you've never seen a tv show like that, look into it!). Sometimes the play/fights among the babies of the pride can get pretty rough. Now, I've never seen an animal parents break up a fight and I'm sure sometimes a youngster or two do get injured, so you don't want to completely mimic an animal mom or dad, but this background knowledge can help you understand your cats a little more.

Cats are carnivores, natural hunters, and experts at survival. Once, when the United States had more of a rural society, cats were easily capable of roaming outside during the daytime to help keep the property rodent-free and then retreating inside a house or a barn for shelter at night. In today's world, however, cats are not as safe as they once were. Although their sharp teeth and claws protect them in many situations, teeth and claws will not protect them from fast-moving cars on the highway outside their front door. There are, in fact, many benefits to keeping a cat inside. Some of these benefits include:

Have you ever wondered why your cat rubs up against walls (especially the corners of walls) constantly? It's not trying to rub the paint off of the walls, there's an actual reason behind it!

Cats have scent glands in the corners of their mouths and on their chins. When they rub against walls, they deposit that scent on the wall so other cats know that it's their territory.

The same applies to you, the cat owner. When petting your kitty, you may notice it rubbing the corners of its mouth on your hands. It might also rub its face against your ankles as you walk around the house (or, like my cat does, when you're carrying something heavy and dangerous).

Iconic to cat ownership is the image of a fluffy kitty perched on a counter top, contentedly lapping up a bowl of milk. You never hear anybody recommending milk to cats, though. Why?

Flat out, it's because cats don't actually need milk. It doesn't provide any sort of nutritional benefit to them, and quite a few of them are lactose intolerant.

Aside from how leaving a bowl of milk out for a long time is a bad idea, cats should not be given milk as their primary source of fluid. Cats need clean water to survive, and should not be given milk as a replacement under any circumstance.
