Paws for Royalty

As the world watched the first coronation of a British monarch in 70 years, royal historians, journalists, and casual observers alike were writing about the events. We cat fanciers are just as interested, as royal pets, past and present, have been documented and photographed.

It's What's Left That Counts Amputation in Cats

Many years ago, amputation for cats was never done, because people thought it was cruel“ said Dr. Bridget Brooke, VMD, owner/ senior veterinarian at My Pet’s Vet, Huntington, NY. “Now, it’s done all the time, because the cats do so well.” Brooke, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School who has been practicing for over 30 years, has performed countless amputations with excellent results.

Finding Kittens the Perfect Homes

Part Two - In our last issue, the criteria breeders should consider to find a perfect home for kittens were reviewed. Although there are many different thoughts on how to find that perfect home, readers contributed a great many similar suggestions. In this follow-up, I have edited some of those ideas to avoid repetition. It seems we all agree screening of buyers is critical and takes time. Most breeders emphasized that they would not sell kittens at shows to people they had not screened previously. They certainly would deliver at a show and get final paperwork signed there.

Fashion and other Faux Paws AT THE CFA ANNUAL

As much as we would love to deny it, our wardrobe and ideas of haute couture have not always turned out the way they appeared in our dreams. Zippers either broke or got stuck in the sequins of the dress; heels on dress shoes decided to give up the ghost as we head out the door of the hotel room; the dress that was the perfect size last weekend when tried on suddenly needs a shoehorn to step into it. Arrgh! And then there's the makeup and hair challenge! Add missing accessories, and the list of potential formal dress disasters is endless!
