** A NOTE FROM RANDAL **
Its getting that time again that we have to watch for fleas and keeping
certain plants out of our cat's reach. Both subject are covered in this
newsletter quite extensively.
Sometimes we wonder what vitamins and nutrients do I need to give my pet?
In the weblink section I have a good site that discusses vitamin
requirements for dogs. Cat owners and lovers, of which I am one too, don't
despair I will keep looking for a site that takes care of our feline friends
too.
By the way, this is going out early because I won't be here to send it out
on the 15th. Hope that is not a problem to anyone. We sure appreciate your
subscription and want you to let us know if we can be of service to you.
Until next time,
Randal

PET PEEVES.(holistic flea control)
Author/s: Gregory L. Tilford
As summer is upon us, many of us are spending our spare time outdoors.
Unfortunately, summer also means fleas, the mess of heavy shedding,
incessant scratching and chewing and coughed-up hairballs that always seem
to appear in full view when company's over. But don't despair -- with a
little proactive planning holistic insight, the toils of summer pet care
(particularly pesky fleas) can be greatly reduced. More....

** SEASONAL ADVICE **
EASTER LILIES AND YOUR CAT: BEWARE!
Part of being the responsible pet owners that
we all aspire to be, is to be aware of the many
different health issues facing your pet. Excluding
dangerous plants from our cat's environment is one
very important way of ensuring a safer, healthier,
and happier home for our beloved feline companions.
At this time of year many of us purchase Easter
Lilies to display in our homes as a beautiful
symbol of the coming holiday. As cat owners,
we must be aware that Easter Lilies can be deadly
to felines. The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center,
the Cat Fanciers' Association, and I want to be sure
we are all aware of the dangers of the Easter and
other types of lilies. There are many alternative
plants, equally beautiful, that we can display in
our homes during this season.
Experts say that the Easter lily, tiger lily, rubrum,
Japanese show lily, some species of day lily, and
certain other members of the Liliaceae family, if
ingested, can cause kidney failure in cats. All parts
of these lilies are considered toxic to cats and
consuming even tiny amounts can be life threatening.
Other Lilies to avoid if you have a cat in your
home include:
GLORY LILY - Gloriosa Superba
TIGER LILY - Lilium tigrinum
STARGAZER LILY - Lilium orientalis
RUBRUM LILY - Lilium speciosum rubrum
ASIAN LILIES - Lily asiatic delicious
ASIAN LILIES - Lily asiatic montreaux
Cat owners are encouraged to consider these safer
alternatives:
Easter Orchids
Easter Lily Cactus
Easter Daisy or violets.
For more information about these and to see photos
of the dangerous lilies, you can visit CFA's
website: www.cfainc.org
Be safe and protect your beloved pets.
