Be aware of this! If your cat is panting continuously or persistently, please make an appointment with your veterinarian!

Advocates for free-roaming cats should take notice. Many proposals to manage the behavior of free-roaming cats involve killing unwanted cats. Using a urine extract to study and manage outdoor cats offers a much more ethical alternative.
