Our feline friends can make a wide variety of sounds ranging from purrs, to chirps, to hisses and even growls. If you hear your cat chirping, they are probably sitting on the window sill looking at the birds. This sound is reserved to attract birds. If you hear a calming purr, this probably means that your cat is comfortable and content. A cat can also purr when it’s sick. The most common sound is the “meow” which could mean anything from saying “hello” to being hungry. Our Siamese, Himilayan cat, Atlantis is a real “talker” he has such a large variety of “meows” that it’s almost a language of it’s own.

Pets with one blue eye and one brown eye is called complete heterochromia. It’s the way the pigment melanin is distributed in an animals’ skin and hair. A dog or cat that has complete heterochromia has a white area of skin and hair around it’s eye where there’s little or no melanin. The result is one blue eye.  Plenty of melanin is concentrated in the other eye which is a different color.  The reason for this is unclear. Complete heterochromia is seen quite often in cats, horses and other animals. Partial heterochromia where the iris of the eye is two different colors is much more unusual.  Why this occurs is not clearly understood. It is believed to be inherited in most cases.

We have two cats who have us wrapped around their paws. Our cat Atlantis is a beautiful Siamese/Himilayan and Millie is a sweet short haired cat. Both are about 15 years old. Atlantis came with a number of conditions like hyperthyroidism, beginning stage kidney disease and some gastrointestinal issues. I’ve been giving him a variety of high quality foods to see which are best for his sensitive digestive system. The problem is that he expects to be fed whenever he wants. Being that he’s used to a diet that has lots of variety, he sometimes decides that he doesn’t like a certain flavor anymore. I usually offer him another which better fits his preference. This has caused a demanding, fussy kitty. Every time I get up and go into the kitchen, he follows me expecting to be offered another selection from the “kitty diner.” His meows are almost comical! I usually give in and give him another pack of his favorite food. He is truly a spoiled kitty with a very good appetite. Every few days, I make another trip to the pet store to stock up on his favorite foods and treats. He is definitely breaking my bank! In our house, the kitties rule!

Many Veterinary professionals believe that a high quality diet can transform an ordinary coat on a dog or cat into soft, luxurious coat. If you notice changes in your pets coat, you might want to consider what he’s eating. Essential nutrients that directly influence skin and coat condition include protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. High quality pets food will generally contain the proper balance of animal  and plant fat plus the vitamins and minerals needed to keep your pets coat silky and shiny. However, protein deficiency and cause dry, flaky skin and a dull looking coat. If you’re concerned about your pet, talk to your veterinarian about his diet.

Dogs like to have their own dog food bowls, but do you really need more  than one water bowl for more than one dog?  What about the germs in each dog’s mouth?  Just like humans, dogs have a lot of bacteria in their saliva. Lets not call them all germs because many bacteria serve a useful purpose. Bad bacteria usually gets zapped by acid in the dogs stomach when it swallows. Some diseases that dogs pass along are respiratory. Some are transmitted by fecal contaminants. Dogs with healthy immune systems can safely share one water bowl. Just make sure that you keep plenty of water around. Adult dogs are 60% water and it should stay that way.

It can be very stressful when your dog sees another dog while you’re waling him and reacts with aggression. It sounds like the dogs are going to kill each other. There are some things that you may try to keep this problem at bay. Continue practicing “sit” and “stay” commands in a controlled environment. Keep her on  a leash so that you have complete control of her when she disobeys the commands. She can feel your tension so you need to be relaxed and calm.   Knowing someone who has a calm dog that can help train your dog with you is always helpful. Their dog needs to be on a leash as well. Just have them sit far enough away so that the other dog is not interested in your dog while you conduct sit and stay drills. Slowly have the dogs cross paths. Use the commands if your dog becomes aggressive. Take along some treats for good behavior. You must have patience and repeat this over and over until your dog seems to calm down.

Make sure that your dog is well socialized. Take her to the park to play with the other dogs frequently. I found that dogs that are not properly socialized with exhibit much more aggression toward others dogs while they are being walked.

You can also try taking her to obedience school. This will take the burden off of you and the situation will be handled by the experts.

We have a beautiful, Siamese/Himalayan cat who’s about 15 years old.  Lately, we’ve been finding clumps of hair all over the house. Long hair cats have lots of matting and our cat Atlantis, right now is experiencing this condition. So why do long haired cats pull our their hair? The answer can be anything from allergy’s to stress. It can also be because they are trying to get rid of the clumps of hair caused by matting.

This condition is most common in cats older than 10. The coat in long-haired cat breeds may be unkempt and develop mats, according to the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. A cat pulling hair out may simply be trying to groom the mats in his coat and instead he may pull his hair out in chunks.

I believe that this is the case with Atlantis. If your Siamese/Himalayan is pulling out hair, have him examined by your vet to rule out allergies or other medical conditions. Your cat may need to be groomed to have the mats removed.

All cats have hairballs every now and then. There are several times a year that cats will vomit a hairball more than others. My cats usually have more hairballs in the Spring and Fall but they also have hairballs most times a year. If you cannot get to a store to purchase hairball medication, a little olive oil will go a long way. Put some olive oil on you finger and rub it onto your cats paw or nose. Your feline friend will quickly lick it off. Olive oil works like hairball medicine to control hairballs and prevent fur from accumulated in your cats intestines.

Before you hit the streets with your city dog, make sure that you teach him a few basic commands. “Sit” and “stay” always works when you’re waiting for a traffic light to change. “Heel” keeps him close to you when you need control on crowded city streets. “Leave it” is helpful if he picks up something that he shouldn’t eat. “Come” can be a life saver if he slips through his leash. As a city dog owner, it’s really up to you to keep your dog out of harms way. Make sure that you are respectful of other people you may meet. Not everyone is a dog lover even some dogs can be wary of your dog.  Always ask before you let your dog approaches someone or another dog. Most important, you should learn your city’s’ leash, license and pooper scooper laws. They are written to protect you, your dog and the entire community.  City etiquette is not just for those “shi shi” dogs with the fancy clothing and diamond studded dog leashes but it’s for all dog owners who live in a city environment.

Every day, I place a bowl of dry cat food on my porch for a feral cat that comes each afternoon.  He quietly makes his way to his bowl at a time when no one is out there. The other night as I was watching TV, I heard a commotion on the porch. I went over to the sliding glass door and there were four baby raccoons feasting on the leftover food that I forgot to take in.  Last night I heard a crash, I looked out and saw a large fan on the floor. I suspect the raccoons were the culprits as once again I forgot to take in the left over food.

Moral of the story ,if you’re an animal lover like we are and feed some outdoor cats, remember to throw out the extra food at the end of the day or you just won’t be feeding those cats, other outdoor critters will be arriving each night to  dine at your house !
