Did You Know...

Did you know that retractable claws are a physical phenomenon that sets cats apart from the rest of the animal kingdom? When cats scratch, it is to shed the sheaths of their old claws. In the cat family, only cheetahs are unable to retract their claws.

 

 

Cats & Heat Stroke

Summer is approaching and the days can reach extreme temperatures. Did you know that cats are susceptible to heatstroke just as humans? Signs of heatstroke include panting heavily, staring, anxious expression, high fever, rapid heartbeat, vomiting, and collapse. If you suspect your cat has heatstroke lower his or her body temperature by applying towels soaked in cool water and get them to Cats Only Veterinary Clinic immediately.

 

Cats & Windows

Spring is in the air and it’s time to open those windows and let in the fresh air and gentle breezes...but...make sure your windows are screened.  Cats Only Veterinary Clinic wants to remind you that cats can be seriously injured or killed in a fall from an open window.  Protect your cat and make sure they can view the beauty of the outdoors without injuring themselves.

We all enjoy the beauty of lilies…but did you know that they are highly toxic to cats, and ingesting any part of the plant causes irreversible kidney failure in 36 to 72 hours? Also…never give a cat human medicine such as ibuprofen, aspirin, acetaminophen or topical creams. One extra strength Tylenol tablet can kill a seven pound cat. In addition, please keep anti-freeze sealed and away from your cat. While anti-freeze has a sweet taste and can be attractive to pets, less than one teaspoon can be deadly. We care about the safety of your pet.
