Cat Doctor Goes Digital!

11/12/2015

This is an X-ray of our office cat Eddie, taken with our new digital X-ray system.  We have upgraded the Xray systems in both of our offices to a digital system which will allow us to get much improved X-rays of our feline patients.  These digital files can then be manipulated to enhance viewing areas of interest.  We can now send and receive digital X-ray files and we can even consult with board certified radiologists via the internet.  This system will definitely improve our look inside your cat if needed!

Arubacat Cat Furniture

9/17/2015

 
I just brought home a new Cat!  Truman, is a large, chocolate siamese marked, lovable male cat who now is adjusting to life with a veterinarian.  He is slowly getting used to being poked and prodded on a daily basis.  This past Monday, I travelled to the Arubacat factory in NH to purchase some nice scratchable furniture for Truman.  I have known Arty Mitchell, the owner of Arubacat for over 20 years and his factory is a marvel of feline engineering.  He produces cat furniture of many sizes and shapes, with  or without cubbies, feeding stations, ramps, etc!  The variations are mind boggling!  All of his furniture is manufactured in NH, and is built to last!  My last piece that I purchased from him was 20 years old!  I just thought Truman should start with new furniture.  My visit reinforced my belief that Arubacat is the best furniture on the market!

Interesting Facts

1/6/2014

 
A market research firm working on behalf of Royal Canin reported some interesting facts after polling 541 cat owners:

 -Nearly 50% brought their pet home without researching its lifestyle.
 -61% believed that cats adapt easily to an owners lifestyle.
-A majority of respondents were unaware that cats are active every day, marking                     territory,hunting, and hiding.
-Half did not think of their cat's health each day
-72% di not think of their cat's health when selecting food
-93% do not consider breed when selecting food.
-More than half ignored their cat's age when selecting food.
-42% considered flavor to be important when selecting food
-15% admitted taste-testing cat food.

In reality, a cat's ability to taste is not nearly as powerful as a human's ability, and aroma and texture play a much bigger role in how cats choose food.  Remember, choose, no grain, moist foods for the majority of the menu.  Use dry food for rewards, games, and hunting experiences!
