February is BUSY!

Happy Love Month! And Boy oh boy is it ever busy!

Cat Health Month

 

Cat Health Month is celebrated every February and I think that is PURRFECT!! It's a dedicated time for you Peeps to focus on our (your feline friends') physical and emotional well-being through vet checkups, making sure we get proper nutrition, exercise, grooming, and play time. It's the opportunity to schedule wellness exams, update our vaccinations, ensure our teeths are in great shape! Mr Kozmo is looking forward to seeing Dr Ruth! 

Pet Dental Health 

Taking care of the teeths is important! Did you know that 80% of Dogs and 70% of cats have some dental disease? And this can cause health issues. We don't get our teeths brushed everyday, but our Peep buys us dental treets. Nutcase er Nutmeg DOES get her teeths brushed by Mom and she LOVES it! How are your teeth?  

Spay Neuter Awareness Month

Is your pet spayed or neutered?

This month is an opportunity for us all to remember the importance of these procedures for preventing animal overpopulation and advancing overall pet health. Animal Shelters see the impact every day of failure to spay or neuter. Cats and dogs are brought to shelter after being found homeless or abandoned. 

Spaying and neutering has positive effects on your companion animals and your relationship with them. Animals that have been spayed or neutered are less likely to be aggressive. Female cats, who can go into heat every three weeks throughout most of the year, will frequently escape during this time, sometimes becoming lost or injured. Spaying makes them calmer and more content at home.

Animals that are not spayed or neutered are at risk of uterine, ovarian or testicular cancer and other afflictions.

Up here, where we live in the Great White North our annual dog license fees are even lower when your pet is spayed or neutered!

Breaking News!

The Month of LOVE - February is Here!

 Sigh! Mom is STILL using the walker! Things are NOT moving as fast as any of us would like, but she is not whining as much and she gets around the house pretty fast! Alex is away for work and although it is cold, Mom has been out on the back deck throwing balls and sticks for the Nutcase!

Now I want to let you know what to look forward to this month! As always, you can download the badges that will be on the Catblogosphere, here sized smaller (300x300). 

February is Cat Health Month!

 

All cats deserve loving caregivers, clean water and food, daily exercise, a safe place to sleep, and entertainment to keep them happy. Celebrating and participating in National Cat Health Month can encourage other cat parents to focus more on their pets’ emotional and physical health. 

February is Pet Dental Health Month

Our furry family does not carry toothbrushes around with them and we need to remember their teeth may need attention. if they are a dog, cat, rabbit or other species, we nee to look after their teeth. Dental checks are as important to animals as they are to us and looking after their dental health  prevents oral problems they could have in the future. Red gums, stinky breath, or yellow teeth could lead to an oral disease if left untreated, giving your pet a poor quality of life and nobody wants that! Right now, Mom is trying to teach the Nut Case to let her brush her teeth. She does NOT like Mom putter anything in her MOUTH! She has even bought peanut butter tooth paste! Mom's afraid that she will have to schedule regular teeth cleaning with the vet (like she had to do with Cinnamon). This month, let's remember our Pet's teeth!

February is Spay and Neuter Awareness Month

We are not going to go into all the reasons why pets should be spayed or neutered. 

Our personal problem is our outside furrend . He needs to get neutered (sigh! Yes Mom and Mary are still trying to get him to the clinic, he is one wily cat!). 

There are not a lot of female cats who are  NOT spayed around, so we will not be worried about a pletora of kittens (until the city people start dumping their extra cats in the spring-that is whole other issue). Our biggest problem is his spraying his territory! He really makes me, Marvelous, angry when he sprays our back deck cat tree. And this has led to some confrontations! That makes Mom mad too!

Would you believe there are NO special weeks in February!

So, I Marv will leave you with some of our past Valentines Cards for you to view!
