We are all products of our upbringing, from our formal academic education, to the “college of hard knocks,” to the lessons learned at the feet of our parents and grandparents And of course, there’s the popular Facebook meme, “Sometimes I open my mouth and my mother comes out!” A great deal of our belief systems comes from our parents, especially medical care and advice, which then trickles down to pet medical care and advice. Based on the topic of chiropractic medicine and healing, I think you know where I am coming from … the hallowed halls of medical academia are not mixed with quackery. However, “there’s proof in the pudding.”
As we and our cats grow older, more medical interventions are needed to keep mind and body functioning and comfortable. With age come conditions, diseases and syndromes which complicate one another, and sometimes, a singular medical approach is not necessarily the best answer. This is the point at which holistic healing can be considered, and starts to demonstrate its value.

\"The Cat Fancy Alphabet\" is a new feature in Cat Talk. It highlights various terms and aspects of the cat fancy, educating fanciers new and old about our hobby.
UP CLOSE AND Purr-sonal
If there is one person, or even just a name, that anyone in CFA (Cat Fancier Association) knows, it would have to be Allene Tartaglia. It might be from her involvement with most aspects of the operations of CFA in her position of executive director. Or perhaps from her deep involvement with both the CFA Annual meeting and/or the International Show. Cat Talk thought it was time to learn more about one of the most key people in CFA.
Vision and Hearing Dysfunctions in Senior Cats
Just as people are challenged by having deficiencies with vision and hearing over time, so are senior cats. In senior cats, pet owners may notice their cats are no longer responding to them in the same way; however, it may be difficult to figure out.
Senior Cats and House Soiling
Why is my cat no longer using its litter box? Cat soiling in the house is one of the most talked about issues for pet owners.

Alternative Arthritis Treatments for Cats
Just like humans, cats can experience arthritis. About 90% of cats over the age of 10 years experience osteoarthritis (OA) in at least one joint.1 It is a complex condition involving inflammation and degeneration of one or more joints and is sometimes referred to as degenerative joint disease (DJD). Cats with OA experience pain and inflammation in various joints that interfere with daily activities.
