Today's Fun Fact Friday is brought to you by 🐱 Cal 🐱 the kitty with heterochromia!

Heterochromia means that the irises of each eye is a different colour. In most cases, one eye will be blue 🔵 and the other will be green 🟢, yellow 🟡 or brown 🟤!

Fun fact about heterochromia in cats:
While heterochromia is rare, it is more likely to occur in white cats or cats with any amount of white fur! 🤍🐱

The gene that causes cats to be white or to have white spots can prevent pigment from reaching one eye during the cats early development. This means that one eye remains the blue colour of a young kittens' eyes, while the other eye is a variable colour (green, yellow or brown)! 🤯🐱

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month! 💕👩🏻‍⚕️🐶🐱

❗Being aware of the signs of pain in your pet is important as they can't tell you how they are feeling. Some animals are very good at hiding pain and to an untrained eye one might miss the subtle signs until the pet is so painful they can't hide it anymore.

✅ Knowing the signs of pain helps pets get treated early before the pain gets even worse.

🧡 Pain symptoms can be not only physical but behavioural as well. 🐱🐶

Physical symptoms:
- Holding their head below their shoulders
- Shaking or trembling
- Tight or twitching muscles
- Panting
- Arched back

Behavioural symptoms:
- Over grooming
- Reluctant to go on stairs, or jump onto surfaces they used to be able to jump to
- Hiding (common in cats)
- Decreased appetite
- Decreased activity
- Vocalization
- Aggression
- Not wanting to be touched
- Restlessness

✨ Context is also important when monitoring your pet for pain. Panting can be normal in dogs when they are warm, but are there any other pain symptoms that you notice in your pet that might indicate they're in pain?

❗If you think your pet is experiencing pain, book an appointment with your pets regular veterinarian for an exam so they can help find out what's causing them pain and come up with a plan to help your pet.

✨🐱 Happy Ginger Cat Appreciation Day! 🐱✨

Ginger cats hold a very special place in all of our hearts for being the most goofy cats ever. They are suspected to share only one brain cell 🧠 with the entire ginger cat population! 🐱

✨ Did you know? ✨
Ginger cats get their orange colour from a specific pigment called pheomelanin. This is the same pigment that is responsible for red hair in humans! 👩🏻‍🦰🧡🐱 Additionally, the orange gene is carried in the X chromosome, so in order to have a female orange cat she needs both X chromosomes to carry the orange gene. As a result, only about 20-25% of orange cats are female. 🧡

Share the ginger love and post a photo of your orange cat below! 🧡🐱📸

✨🐈‍⬛ It's Black Cat Appreciation Day!!! 🐈‍⬛✨

Black Cat Appreciation Day is not only a day to show off your beautiful feline, it's also a day to raise awareness of black cats' unique challenges. 🐈‍⬛💕

🖤 Black cats often get a bad rep due to superstitions and myths of being associated with back luck, witchcraft 🧙🏻‍♀️ and even death. Unfortunately, these outdated and unfounded beliefs still affect how black cats are viewed today, leading people to overlook black cats in shelters.

🖤 Another reason black cats often get overlooked at the shelter is because they are "difficult" to photograph due to their dark coat.

🖤 Black Cat Appreciation Day is to encourage the adoption of black cats as they struggle to find homes, and serves as a reminder that black cats make lovely pets. 💕 🐾 By choosing to adopt a black cat, you're not only gaining a loyal and loving companion but also helping to break down the negative stereotypes that have unfairly affected these animals for generations.

✨ Did you know? ✨
There is a long-standing superstition that discovering one white hair on a black cat signifies good luck. Some even believe that having a black cat with one white hair can help ward off bad luck and protect the home from any harm.
Can you find a white hair on your black cat? 🖤🤍🖤

If you own a black cat share their photos below! 📸🐈‍⬛

Wishing a very happy maternity leave to our wonderful Dr. Ally Finley! 🍼👶

Dr. Finley has officially stepped away from work to prepare for her newest (and sweetest!) adventure yet. While we’re going to miss her warmth, expertise, and smiling face around the hospital every day, we couldn’t be happier for her and her family as they get ready to welcome their new baby!

We can’t wait to meet the newest little addition to our hospital family—and, of course, we look forward to welcoming Dr. Finley back with open arms when she’s ready to return.

Please join us in sending Dr. Finley all your love, well wishes, and best advice in the comments below! 💜✨
