Why can cats tolerate mother’s colostrum but cannot tolerate cow’s milk?

PoC avatarPosted on February 7, 2021 by Michael BroadFebruary 7, 2021

Does neutering male cats make them less strong?

PoC avatarPosted on February 6, 2021 by Michael BroadFebruary 6, 2021

After spaying, how does a female cat feel?

PoC avatarPosted on February 6, 2021 by Michael BroadFebruary 6, 2021

It might be fair to say that female cats are more likely to feel permanently less optimistic and less calm after the spaying operation. I explore the mood effect in this article. The spaying of female domestic cats is completely … Continue reading →

Two most effective deworming treatments for cats

PoC avatarPosted on February 1, 2021 by Michael BroadFebruary 1, 2021

A good source tells me that the two most effective deworming medications are (1) praziquantel + pyrantel and (2) fenbendazole. These drugs are effective in treating ascarids, hookworms and tapeworms. They are effective broad spectrum deworming drugs. Not all deworming … Continue reading →

Can domestic cats survive in the cold?

PoC avatarPosted on January 16, 2021 by Michael BroadJanuary 20, 2021

PoC avatarPosted on January 15, 2021 by Michael BroadJanuary 15, 2021
