Declawing is NOT just taking off a cat’s toenails. It is amputating every toe on your cat’s feet at the first knuckle! It is easy to trim a cat’s claws and give them alternatives to scratching things you don’t want scratched (please see: https://www.safercats.com/don-t-don-t-don-t). More and more of the world is joining the movement to Outlaw Declawing. We all love our cats! Let’s gently train them to scratch appropriately so everyone can be happy.

Nothing that you love is ever lost.
How could it ever be – when you loved from within.
To all those who have loved and lost a kitty: if you see another kitty that needs a home, consider that this new kitty may have been sent to save, by your dear departed loved one - just like you rescued her. Please consider adopting again. SAVE another life in honor and memory of your forever-remembered treasured baby.

Fireworks, hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, good friends and family – SAFER wishes you all a happy holiday weekend. All the commotion has certainly upset your kitties, but you can create a quiet space with extra love and attention to help her feel safe again. Hopefully their nerves will calm down by Monday.

Record HEAT – 102 degrees!!! Cats are like people…it is difficult to deal with the heat (and they don’t all have access to air conditioning or even a fan). Heatstroke is a serious condition that cats experience when their body temperature becomes so high their body cannot cool themselves. The precursor to heatstroke is heat exhaustion which includes restless behavior as they search for a cool spot or area, panting, drooling, sweaty paws or excessive grooming. To cool off, cats sweat a bit through their foot pads, lick their fur, drink water, hang out in shady spots, or stretch out on a cool surface to expose more of their body surface to release heat. If you have or see a cat in distress, see a veterinarian immediately! If not treated promptly, heatstroke can lead to organ damage, seizures, coma, and death.

We can help by keeping cats indoors during hot weather, if possible, or provide access to cool, shady spots with fresh water for those outdoor cats. (Dehydration can make cats more susceptible to heatstroke.) Sheds, conservatories, and greenhouses trap heat. Keep them as cool as possible when allowing free access to cats as a shelter.

Cats can live 10-20 years. Consider the commitment that you are making to this amazing living creature that will need your care for their lifetime. AND Remember that older cats also need homes. Cats and kittens are euthanized every day in shelters due to lack of space. PLEASE Adopt, Don’t Shop! (FYI: Cats are VERY smart – if they don’t like the person you are dating, there May be a good reason! Also, before you move, make certain your new potential home accepts cats!! There are lots of other places to live, but ONLY ONE life loves you wholeheartedly and depends on your care.)

Heat Wave! Thankfully, with the rain, it will be a cooler week. Did you know that cats don’t sweat like humans? To cool themselves off, they sweat through their paw pads and they pant. Cats also groom which distributes saliva over their body. As the saliva evaporates, it creates a cooling effect…think of spritzing yourself with water to cool down. Cats are also very smart and seek cooler environments and shade. If you are caring for a stray, please remember to offer fresh water each day, placed out of the sun to keep it cooler. (And be sure to have the cat trapped and neutered.)

Heat stress and heat stroke can KILL. Be sure your kitty (and other kitties that live outside) has shelter from the sun and heat, fresh cool water, and food. If a cat is suffering from heat-related issues, gradually cool the cat down by applying a damp cloth to the cat's skin and seeing a vet ASAP. Be careful not to agitate the cat as the extra stress can increase body temperature further. If you cool a cat down too suddenly, you may send them into shock.

Sterilizing our community cats is beneficial to the community as well. Cats that are spayed/neutered during the TNR process are healthier animals and make better neighbors. Complaints of overpopulation, fighting, yowling, and marking will decrease, making the cats more welcome members of the community. Sterilization also saves taxpayer and animal welfare dollars as fewer animals will be captured, impounded, and eventually euthanized due to illness, injury, or lack of homes. Save a life! Spay or neuter all the cats -- your pet(s) and those outdoors.

Persian, Bengal, Maine C**n, Scottish Fold, Siamese, Ragdoll, Sphynx and so many other breeds - Have you ever wondered if cats can “talk” to a different breed of cat or perhaps a cat from a different country? What about meowing in Italian, English, Spanish, Chinese or one of the other 7,000 languages in the world today? Do cats understand and speak different languages?

Cats typically MEOW to people. With other cats they primarily communicate with non-verbal methods, like scent marking, body language, and visual cues. So yes, this amazing creature can communicate with cats of different languages and countries and, of course, you.

If you want to speak to her, try using her language – a slow blink (meaning love and trust), a gentle head butt or rubbing your cheek along her body (she will read as scent marking which means I love you and you belong to me), petting with one/two fingers or thumb instead of your whole hand (to emulate licking which represents love and caring). Good luck – uh, make that MEOW!
