Paws Up to Fabulous Felines!

 

 

In sheer numbers, cats outnumber dogs in American homes - and they would like to keep it that way. In honor of June being National Cat Adoption Month, we salute two top cat veterinarians and two top cat organizations: Dr. Jane Brunt, executive director of the Catalyst Council and Dr. Elizabeth Colleran, president of the American Academy of Feline Practitioners.  These cat champions appeared on Arden Moore's Oh Behave show on Pet Life Radio share show to talk all things c-a-t. Click here to tune in. 


And, the 'cat is out of the bag' - yes, felines DO sport senses of humor. Check out this short two-part video of a cat named Scotty. The video, courtesy of Dr. Sheilah Robertson from the University of Florida's College of Veterinary Medicine, shows what really happens when it's time to take your cat to the veterinary clinic. Call your cat over and take a look. Click HERE.
