It's important to identify and respect the areas of your cat's body where petting is not comfortable. For many cats, the most common spot that's off-limits is the tummy, although there are some who actually enjoy it. And then there are the places where you know you'll get a very positive reaction. Does your cat have a favorite spot?

“It was just one time.”

“My cat only scratched it—it'll be fine!”

“My cat was just playing.”

We hear these words all the time. But if you could spend even one day in our wildlife hospital, you'd see the reality behind them.

When cats are allowed to roam freely, they don’t just catch mice and rats—they decimate populations of local wildlife. Pictured here are some of the patients we've admitted due to cat attacks in only one week.

Animals attacked by cats have a very low chance of survival, even with immediate veterinary care. The injuries are often severe, and the infections caused by bacteria in a cat’s mouth and claws are fast-moving and deadly. Without treatment, survival is nearly impossible.

We don’t hate cats—we love them! But we hate the toll they take on wildlife.

If you own an outdoor cat, please consider transitioning it indoors and encouraging others to do the same. We offer helpful resources on our website to support this transition. And for cats who struggle with life indoors, an outdoor “catio” can give them safe access to the outdoors while protecting the wild animals who live there.

Hyperthyroidism is a disease of the endocrine system, affecting humans and other animal species. In general, endocrine disorders have been on the rise due to inferior diets, processed food, and chemicals in the environment. It is rare in dogs but is becoming more common in cats.

The signs of hyperthyroidism vary depending on the stage of the disease and how long the glands have been overactive. This list includes some of the early signs. For more head over to my blog post "Feline Hyperthyroidism" on DrJudyMorgan.com
