Eliminating Cat Dander---5 Ways To Keep It Under Control

The protein in cat dander affects millions. Breathing high levels of it consistently can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms, and cause respiratory problems to develop in those who were otherwise healthy.

Dander is dead flakes of skin that are constantly being shed to make way for newer healthier skin that is more able to protect from disease and infection. 

This shedding process will continue throughout your pet's life and so learning to deal with it effectively with allow you to live a healthier lifestyle while being able to enjoy your cat more.

The main source of irritation is a protein in the dander called Fel d1 (Felis Domesticus 1). It is also found in saliva and urine. Symptoms from exposure include itchiness, watering eyes, closed throat, congestion, and frequent sneezing.

And while there is no way to eliminate it completely as long as you have your pet, here are 5 things you can do to keep it to a minimum.

Create A Cat-Free Zone---If you are just adopting a kitten you can set the ground rules from day one. Make the bedroom one of the places where your pet is not allowed to go. Keep the door closed so that the floors, bed, and chairs are less likely to have hair and dander.

if you already have a pet that is use to lounging in your bedroom, this may be a little bit tougher to enforce. Close the door to your room and thoroughly clean walls, carpets, and linens. 

Your kitty may express great displeasure at being displaced. Scratching at the door and meowing may continue for a while. But stay strong. This one step could be the difference between being able to manage your allergies/asthma and enjoying your pet or having to find another home for it.

Reduce Fabrics---Anything that is woven is a haven for particulates. That includes the cat-related ones like hair and dander, but also other more normal particles such as dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, and seasonal pollen. All of these are well known allergens that can wreak havoc with those who are sensitive to them.

It would be nice to think that you could just wave a wand and totally redo your interior. And that's great if you can, but for many it will take an awareness of what needs to go and replacing things as the need occurs.

Replace draperies with blinds that can be wiped clean; wood floors, linoleum, and tile trump carpet because they can easily be damp mopped. Area rugs that can be washed make them easy and low cost to clean frequently.

Clean Your Home---Vacuuming frequently will help remove particles that have fallen to the floor that are likely to have dander attached to them. A cleaner with a HEPA (high efficiency particle arresting) filter will keep those particles from being blown back into the air.

Don't forget to wipe down the legs of chairs and tables that cats tend to like to rub against. Wash their favorite toys, rugs, and bedding at least once a week as well.

Bathe Your Cat---If this is done with a kitten from the time you bring it home, it will get use to the routine and it will make life easier for both of you. Starting a new regimen like this with an older cat is likely to be tougher. Regardless of age, check with your veterinarian first to determine the right frequency and the best products to use.

Filter The Air---Using a cleaner with a variety of particle filters including a HEPA will continually minimize the amount of airborne dander that is available to be inhaled.

Here found a good article on vaccination.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vaccination Ruminations
By Glen Dupree DVM, Big Run Healing Arts – Big Run, Pa.

I do not personally vaccinate my pets, nor have I for many years.
There are several reasons for this. From my perspective as a
Homeopath, vaccines are among the leading contributors to the sycosis
miasm. Some of the signs of sycosis are allergies, bladder disease
(cystitis, crystals in the urine, chronic and recurrent problems),
behavior problems (rage, jealousy, fears, restlessness),
itchy/draining/waxy ears, food intolerances and inflamed bowels,
bronchitis and asthma, arthritis, greasy hair coats, itching, and
warts/growths. These symptoms probably sound familiar as they are
becoming more prevalent in the pet population.

"DO you get YEARLY BOOSTER VACCINATIONS?"

Another important influence on my decision to stop vaccinating were
the references concerning the long-term side effects of vaccinations
coupled with the history of low efficacy of most vaccines in the
elimination or reduction of the incidence of given diseases in given
populations.

A third realization that makes me question the validity of repeated
vaccinations is the fact that the same technology and rational used
to develop human vaccines has been used in the development of animal
vaccines. When was the last time you were vaccinated against a really
major, life-threatening disease? In childhood? Do you get yearly
booster vaccinations ??? If we expect our immunity and protection to
last this long, why do we expect our pets to only have year long
immunity?

I also have faith in the power of Homeopathy and correct nutrition to
enhance and optimize wellness and true health. If we strive to
support our pets nutritionally and to provide them with the optimal
diet for health maintenance, we are not going to see the levels of
either chronic, debilitating disease or acute, infectious disease
that we tend to see in nutritionally compromised individuals. In the
event that we are faced with a serious disease process, it is my
belief that careful and correct Homeopathic prescribing will not only
offer the patient the best opportunity for overcoming the disease but
also for becoming healthier and better able to resist disease in the
future.

Okay, some of you may see this as a radical approach.

There are other options available between the extremes of no vaccines
and relative overvaccination.

On my scale the next step below the no-vaccine protocol is basing the
decision to revaccinate on the results of titer levels.

For the caregiver's peace of mind, a blood sample can be submitted to
the appropriate laboratory for measurement of specific antibodies
(usually distemper and parvovirus in dogs, panleukopenia {feline
distemper} in cats). Titers offer a way of measuring the individual's
response to exposure .This has been extrapolated to give a relative
measure of the protectedness" of the patient (although the
minimal "safe" antibody level varies considerably between labs and
does not take into account the innate anemnestic or memory responses
the body has from previous exposures, either via natural exposure or
vaccination). Interpretation of titers is a complex subject that
warrants another article to itself. However, once the titer level is
measured, the caregiver can use that information to help determine if
more vaccines are warranted (for their comfort if not for the pet's
protection).

Next on my scale is the use of Homeopathic nosodes.

The drawback to nosodes is the tendency to consider them very safe
and thus use them like "harmless homeopathic vaccines". The rules for
nosode use are the same as for the decision to use conventional
vaccines - for use in healthy animals only. Overuse of nosodes
(especially in the repeated higher potencies) can cause problems, as
can the overuse of vaccines. If nosodes are used prudently and
correctly they may provide a safe alternative to conventional
vaccinations.

Nosodes to specific diseases are most effective if they are used
during periods of highest susceptibility or the time of exposure to
the disease. Contact a trained veterinary Homeopath who is versed in
the use of nosodes for more thoughts behind their application and a
schedule of nosode use suitable for your situation.

This brings us to the limited use of conventional vaccines.

Current conventional medical references are beginning to advocate the
use of a two shot series for juvenile vaccination - one injection
given before 12 weeks of age and another after 12 weeks of age - as
well as the use of limited valence vaccines (not the vaccines that
have everything including the kitchen sink included in one shot).
There have also been major changes in yearly booster protocols, with
many veterinary organizations and teaching and research institutions
suggesting minimal vaccinations every three years in animals who have
had previous vaccinations.

These modified vaccine schedules provide good options for breeders
who are not comfortable with the heavy vaccination schedules
currently used but are not sure what environment their puppies will
ultimately live in. They are also an option for folks who are not yet
comfortable with the idea of no vaccinations at all.

Last, in my comfort zone, are the current multiple injection,
polyvalent vaccine schedules.

If you do not feel comfortable reducing the use of vaccines, and if
you feel it necessary to vaccinate for everything yearly, I would
highly recommend finding a veterinary Homeopath who can help you and
your pet past the imbalances that routinely arise from vaccine
schedules of this type.

The use or avoidance of vaccines is an issue that is coming under
close scrutiny from both the conventional and the alternative medical
fields. There is no clear consensus on the best approach. It is to
the benefit of our pet population as a whole that each caregiver
spend time researching the options and arriving at the best answer
for their individual situation rather than passively accepting what
has for so long been "conventional" wisdom.

  I am also anti-vaccination. My cat, whose photo is on the front page, died after vaccination. After 6 months. She is now at the Rainbow Bridge...Now I never do vaccinate cats.



                                                                              Rainbow Bridge.

    Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. 

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Interesting facts of the life of cats.

Cats are North America’s most popular pets: there are 73 million cats compared to 63 million dogs. Over 30% of households in North America own a cat.

During the time of the Spanish Inquisition, Pope Innocent VIII condemned cats as evil and thousands of cats were burned. Unfortunately, the widespread killing of cats led to an explosion of the rat population, which exacerbated the effects of the Black Death


When a family cat died in ancient Egypt, family members would mourn by shaving off their eyebrows. They also held elaborate funerals during which they drank wine and beat their breasts. The cat was embalmed with a sculpted wooden mask and the tiny mummy was placed in the family tomb or in a pet cemetery with tiny mummies of mice


While many parts of Europe and North America consider the black cat a sign of bad luck, in Britain and Australia, black cats are considered lucky

Cats hate the water because their fur does not insulate well when it’s wet. The Turkish Van, however, is one cat that likes swimming. Bred in central Asia, its coat has a unique texture that makes it water resistant


The world’s rarest coffee, Kopi Luwak, comes from Indonesia where a wildcat known as the luwak lives. The cat eats coffee berries and the coffee beans inside pass through the stomach. The beans are harvested from the cat's dung heaps and then cleaned and roasted. Kopi Luwak sells for about $500 for a 450 g (1 lb) bag

Interesting Facts About Cats

By Sarah Parker

Cats are kept as domestic pets and the species has been living with us for thousands of years. There are many breeds of cat, including ones without hair and tails. They are capable of hunting many different types of species and are highly intelligent. Because they are so intelligent, it is possible to train them to do the most unlikely of tasks, such as opening doors (although obviously not with a key of course).

How Do Cats Communicate?

They purr, miaow and hiss. They also use body language and use a combination of these things when communicating with 'fellow felines'. They are still capable of living in the wild.

Defining Terms

A male cat is known as a tom. A female, believe it or not, is called a queen. The cute young variety are known as kittens. If the cat in question has registered ancestry, then it is referred to as a pedigree cat. Purebred cats constitute only one tenth of the total cat population.

How Long Do They Live?

If kept at home as domesticated pets, cats live a very long time. The average is fourteen to twenty years. The oldest cat in recorded history lived to the grand age of thirty six. Generally speaking, cats that don't venture outside tend to live longer because they don't get into fights or risk injury from accidents.

How Much Sleep Do They Need?

Cats sleep... a lot ! The older they get, the more sleep they need, but the average is between thirteen and fourteen hours a day. Some cats though, will sleep the majority of the day ( upto twenty hours ). If only the average working person could enjoy such sleeping luxury.

Reading A Cats Body Language

If a cat is angry it will twitch the end of its tail. A tail held high in the air means your cat is happy, whereas a tail pointing down will usually indicate it is not happy. If you encounter a surprised cat, or one that is in fear, the hair on its back may become raised, along with its tail.

When a cat is being friendly with another, it will tend to touch the others nose. If a cat is happy and sitting on your lap, it may paw you. They will often use this in combination with purring as a display of affection towards their owner.

Why Kids Love Cats So Much

There are many children who want to have a cat for a pet. Perhaps, your children are among these who desire to have one. If you are wondering why children love cats so much, the below reasons will provide some insight into this.

Cats provide good entertainment. Surely, you have seen a cat scamper across the tops of furniture, shimmy up the walls and jump down from high places and land right on his or her feet. To us who are grown, these behaviors are annoying. We wish that the animal can stop behaving in this fashion and stay out of the way. Kids, on the other hand, find these behaviors to be funny. They sit and watch in amazement, and they laugh heartily. Kids also enjoy playing games with their cats, like fetch, and they like to teach them how to do tricks. When these animals entertain these children, they will stay out of the hair of the adults and have something to do during boring times.

Cats are also nice to cuddle. The reason this is the case is because felines are nothing but big, warm fur balls. If you buy your child a cat who loves to be held, then he or she will cuddle with your young one for hours. Your young one can enjoy companionship while doing homework, and this pet can keep him or her company while sleeping at night. If your child has something comforting to sleep with, he or she will not be scared and feel the need to crawl into your bed to bother you while you are sleeping or taking some time for yourself.

Cats offer children lots of affection. When your child feels sad, the cat will crawl into his or her lap and stay there until he or she feels better. There have been some cases when a cat has been known to wrap his or her paws around his or her owner's neck and give a hug. If your kid ever experiences this while sad, this will mean a lot to him or her.

Kids love cats because it does not require a lot of work to take care of them. All kids have to do is clean out the litter box, provide food and water and make sure the animal remains safe. It is not necessary to walk a cat, take it out to go to the bathroom or bathe it.

If you get a boy cat for your child, then you will want to get it fixed. If you do not, he will feel the need to mark his territory. The male cat will urinate all over your furniture, clothing and other odds and ends. Because cat urine smells, you do not want this to happen. You will also need to get the animal declawed, whether it is male or female. If you do not, curtains will be torn up, furniture will be scratched and the pet will ruin things around your house because he or she will feel the need to use various objects as scratching posts. If you take these precautions, your child will enjoy his or her pet, and your house will remain clean and orderly.

Cats are adorable pets as you will find out yourself if you visit cat online games at monkeygamesworld.com

Cats And Dogs Can Get Along

by Emilija Spirkoska

Animals are fun to be around and in my opinion each household should have at least a couple in the house. But, can a cat and dog get along? You might think that all cats and dogs do is fight, but that’s not true. Cats and dogs can get along well and if you ask most people they would probably say that each family should have at least one of each pet. Even though the old saying, “fighting like cats and dogs” is in fact true,  we must say that there are also examples of a dog-cat true friendship. And because at times it can be rough teaching your dog and cat to like each other we decided to share some basic steps on how to train your cat and dog to get along without harming each other. First of all, you should know that you will probably have less problems if you have a puppy rather than a dog. Because the puppy will see the cat as part of the gang :). Also if your dog is aggressive then don't even try to train him/her to get along with a cat. It's just won't happen. Last but not least, if your cat is a small kitten or is elderly or handicapped that means that it can easily get hurt around a „hyper“ dog. However, here are some tips to help train your cat and dog to get along without harming each other. 1. You should start out slow. Animals too need time to get to know each other. And if you rush them into things they will probably end up unhappy and will eventually start fighting. 2. Give your dog a treat each time it acts friendly around your cat . Saying nice things like “Yay, you are a good dog; look who’s here; Kitty is here” will also make the atmosphere more friendly. Also you should try to sound happy each time you say those things. 3. Hold your cat in your arms and then tell your friend to bring your dog into the room. Slowly, bring them close together until they are comfortable enough with each other to sit still. 4. Last but not least, rub a towel on your dog and place near the cat, so that the cat can get used to the smell and try to accept it. Hopefully, after doing all these steps your cat and dog will start to get along and live a happy life. However that’s might not always be the case. Just check out these two! At least they don't end up hurting each other. By Emilija Spirkoska

Pets Can Improve Your Health

Did you know that more than 60% of households have a pet - cats and dogs being the most popular - and that the average lifetime cost of owning a dog today stands at around £16,900 and for a cat £17,200?

It's clear to see that these beloved animals have us firmly wrapped around their furry paws; but is it just a one way street? Do we get something from them in return? Apart from the obvious love, companionship and friendship there are other less obvious benefits that can affect our health.

We have seen many cases where pets have healed people physically, emotionally and mentally. But recently doctors have discovered the amazing fact that cats and dogs can help us not only fight disease but also with the way we cope with chronic conditions. Scientific studies have in fact confirmed what we have felt - our pets have a positive impact on our health.

Let's see what research has discovered.

1. Far from causing a problem, pets can actually lessen the risk of allergiesand asthma. New studies have actually shown that babies and children, who are raised with a furry friend, will be at less risk of asthma and allergies. Researchers have analyzed blood samples from babies immediately after they have been born and again one year late. They were searching for evidence of immunity changes, reactions to bacteria in the environment and general allergic reaction. The results showed that if a dog lived in the house then the child was less likely to show any evidence of pet allergies. It was also found that they also were less likely to have eczema; add to that the fact that they had much higher levels of some immune system chemicals- which is a sign of stronger immune system.

2. We have seen so many times that pets help to reduce stress that it's easy to accept this fact even without scientific evidence. However a survey carried out by Mindlab International discovered that a huge 55% of people that they studies were more relaxed after they had spent time with their pets and 44% appeared to be less worried about a specific, identifiable problem. The research team concluded that if we interact with a pet it can profoundly and effectively reduce our stress levels.

3. It's a fact - cats can actually lower the risk of having a fatal heart attack. Researchers have studied nearly 4,500 adults and discovered that those who owned a cat had a 40% lower risk of having a heart attack that proved fatal. The researchers considered that owning a cat could lower anxiety and stress and so guard against cardiovascular disease - the simple action of stroking your feline friend can actually lower your blood pressure.

4. Dog owners tend to have lower blood pressure and cholesterol according to a psychologist from Queen's University, Belfast. She explained that taking regular walks would partly explain the reason why. You see, just the simple action of taking care of a dog tends to increase physical activity and helps the owner to make social contact with other dog owners. This could improve both physiological and psychological health in the owner.

5. Many doctors now recommend 'pet prescriptions' to patients who live alone and who would benefit from companionship. They feel that a pet motivates some patients to exert their best effort when dealing with serious conditions like cancer. Looking after a pet will stimulate them to take good care of themselves too.

Just for Fun Cats talk to each other!

That's useful information about leashes.....

How to Walk Your Cat On a Leash

Most cats love being outdoors, the fresh air and stimulation is great for them and they love the warmth of the sun. Unfortunately, there are some downsides to being outside because many cats will roam and may get lost, injured, kill birds or other wildlife or get into things they shouldn't. A cat leash is an excellent way to take your cat outside for fresh air and exercise while still keeping him safe and protected. Leash training a cat may sound like an impossible task, but it's really not all that difficult. All it takes is some time, effort and a little patience.

The first step is to measure your cat and shop for an appropriate cat leash and harness. Do not use a collar to walk your cat, because if your cat decides to run, the collar could injure his neck or even strangle him. A leash attached to a collar is simply an unsafe choice for your cat. A harness and leash are a much better option. There are many harnesses and leashes to choose from that are specially made for cats. Browse through your local pet store or shop online to find a harness that will fit your cat and not be too heavy. It's also a good idea to pick up some cat treats to encourage and reward your cat when he does well.

When you get the leash and harness home, let your cat inspect them and get used to them being near him. Give your cat treats and lots of praise so they learn to associate the harness with "good" things. Once your cat is used to the harness, you can try putting it on him. It may take a little while, but once it's on, make sure to give your kitty lots of love, praise and treats. At first, you'll need to leave the harness on for a short period to let your cat get used to it. Each day, leave the harness on for longer periods of time until your cat hardly notices their wearing it, while continuing to give your kitty lots of praise and encouragement.

Now it's time to introduce the leash. Clip the leash to the harness and let your cat get used to how it feels. As usual, give lots of encouragement, praise and treats to your cat to reward good behavior. Once he seems comfortable; encourage him to walk a few steps in the same direction as you. If he won't take a step, use a treat to encourage him to take a step forward. If this doesn't work, try picking him up and moving him a foot or two in the right direction, then repeat the process with a treat all over again until your cat begins to get the hang of it.

Remember, to be patient and keep trying. It may take a little time, but with some gentle persuasion, you'll soon be walking your cat on a leash with poise and confidence.

Interesting about cats

About Maine Coon Cats

Cats are one of the most beautiful pets and no one wants to see his pet in a pathetic stage. Many diseases and illnesses are responsible for the bad heath of your pet. Cats are very sensitive as compared to dogs and it is a fact that more than 50% of the cats are facing the diseases in the very first year of their life. Therefore, knowledge about the cat care is necessary in order to achieve a good cat care plan. This article will discuss some of the cat problems and the preventive measures by which your cat can remain in a wonderful state. So here we go,

Stomach Worms

Infestation of worms is a common problem in most of the cats. The cats fail to absorb the nutrition and the result is that the consumption of diet is more and there is no development of health during the period of infestation. The roundworms and the tapeworms are very common and the hookworms are rear in infestation. One or two doses of any medicine can remove these worms. Several precautions are there for the treatment of worm infestation. Most of the times you observe that your cat is eating too much and the sleep cycle become disturbed. In those cases, you have to consult a vet. The vet will diagnose the type of worm after the stool test and suitable medicine will help your pet to get out of this issue.

Vomiting and Diarrhea Issues

There are many types of vomiting. In one type, the cat vomits and there are no further episodes. The single vomiting is better for the cat health as the stomach gave an anti-peristaltic response to the foreign invader. There are many reasons of this type such as engulfing of bad food, rotten fish, etc. Observation shows that due to the humidity issues, pet's food develops a particular sort of smell. That smelling food is very harmful as far as the health of your animal is concerned. Most of the people do not give a proper attention towards the single vomiting but you should at least change the food and give a proper bed rest to the little one. Multiple vomiting is the second type in which most of the cats fail to recover without proper medication. Serious conditions may lead to the blood vomiting. Diarrhea is also a very painful condition and it is most important among many of the cat problems. It is not a disease rather a condition or a secondary disorder that points towards other issues in the digestive system of cat.You should control the dehydration condition by the in time medication. Preventive measure include healthy diet, keeping eye on your pet activities, limited outdoor exposure, daily running, etc.

Urinary Infections and Kidney Issues

This is a serious issue and it affects the males as well as the females. The urinary tract infection may come from the pond swimming or after any dirt adventure. Therefore, if your smart pet is very active and wants a fun and adventure stuff, then you should use the antiseptic solutions. After the dirty tour, you can just dip the animal for some minutes in the water tub mixed with the antiseptic solution. It is very effective strategy and most of the cats love to enjoy bathing. In case of infection, your animal will feel uncomfortable. Urethra may block and accumulation of urine may lead to bad effects on bladder of animal. If the infection penetrates into the renal area then there is possibility of damage in the kidney zone. You can easily identify the kidney issue. Increase in thirst and an aggressive drinking attitude can give you the perfect indication of the problem.

Viral Diseases: Feline Leukemia Virus & Feline Immunodeficiency Virus

These are two common diseases that are prevalent in cats. The virus spreads from the saliva droplets. The virus called corona virus, produce the flu type symptoms.
