November 2020 Newsletter
November SEASONS GREETINGS FROM TEN LIVES CLUB! 2020 Dear Friends of Ten Lives Club, Throughout this whirlwind of a year, you made amazing things happen. You made sure that over 2,000 cats, who had nowhere else to go, got the chance at life that they deserved. It is said that cats have “nine lives”. Ten Lives Club makes sure they have ten lives…their forever and final home when they leave our shelter. Whether entering our program through a hoarding case or brought to us because their families could no longer care for them, you made sure these cats had somewhere they could turn to. When most other shelters closed during the pandemic we stayed open to help and you made that possible. When we had to cancel most annual fundraising events, you stepped up financially to help. Without you, cats would not be able to receive the extra time and resources they need to learn to trust again. Thanks to you, cats who were left abandoned and starving received immediate care. Cats that were sick were healed with the proper attention and medical treatments. Innocent animals on death-row at kill-shelters were gladly taken in. Kittens just days old received individual care in foster homes. You make our mission and work possible. Your support ensures that we can provide the very best care for each cat who is brought to our shelter. You save lives. You, our community, are the reason our organization is so successful and has grown to be the unbelievable shelter we have become over the almost twenty years in existence. -

There are several concerns on the possible negative effects on PPG including anaesthesia, surgery and complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of PPG. Microsoft excel was used for statistical analysis. The information about 6646 purebred kittens who had gone through PPG before 27 weeks of age was obtained from the online retrospective survey. Database included cats from the different breeds and –age groups when the surgery was performed, collected in 2019. -

Origin of the Egyptian Domestic Cat
UPTEC X 12 012 Examensarbete 30 hp Juni 2012 Origin of the Egyptian Domestic Cat Carolin Johansson Molecular Biotechnology Programme Uppsala University School of Engineering UPTEC X 12 012 Date of issue 2012-06 Author Carolin Johansson Title (English) Origin of the Egyptian Domestic Cat Title (Swedish) Abstract This study presents mitochondrial genome sequences from 22 Egyptian house cats with the aim of resolving the uncertain origin of the contemporary world-wide population of Domestic cats. Together with data from earlier studies it has been possible to confirm some of the previously suggested haplotype identifications and phylogeny of the Domestic cat lineage. Moreover, by applying a molecular clock, it is proposed that the Domestic cat lineage has experienced several expansions representing domestication and/or breeding in pre-historical and historical times, seemingly in concordance with theories of a domestication origin in the Neolithic Middle East and in Pharaonic Egypt. In addition, the present study also demonstrates the possibility of retrieving long polynucleotide sequences from hair shafts and a time-efficient way to amplify a complete feline mitochondrial genome.

The Yellow Cat: Diagnostic & Therapeutic Strategies
Peer Reviewed THE YELLOW CAT: DIAGNOSTIC & THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES The Yellow Cat: Diagnostic & Therapeutic Strategies Craig B. Webb, PhD, DVM, Diplomate ACVIM (Small Animal Internal Medicine) Colorado State University There is no mystery when it comes to a “yellow” cat. Icterus and jaundice—both of which describe a yellowish pigmentation of the skin—indicate hyperbilirubinemia, a 5- to 10-fold elevation in serum bilirubin concentration. However, this is where the certainty ends and the diagnostic challenge begins. The icteric cat presentation is not a sensitive or specific marker of disease, despite the visually obvious and impressive clinical sign (Figure 1).1 The objective of this article is to briefly review differentials for hyperbilirubinemia in the cat, and present a diagnostic and therapeutic strategy that will help practitioners approach this problem in an efficient and effective manner. FIGURE 1. Icteric pinna of a cat in the critical HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA: ORGANIZATION care isolation unit; prehepatic hemolysis BY LOCATION and anemia are a result of Cytauxzoon felis infection.

Feline Obesity: Food Toys and Owner-Perceived Quality of Life During a Prescribed Weight Loss Plan
Feline Obesity: Food Toys and Owner-Perceived Quality of Life During a Prescribed Weight Loss Plan Lauren Elizabeth Dodd Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Biomedical Veterinary Sciences Megan Shepherd, Chair Sherrie Clark Nick Dervisis Kathy Hosig May 16, 2019 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: Feline, Obesity, Weight loss Copyright © Lauren Dodd Use or inclusion of any portion of this document in another work intended for commercial use will require permission from the copyright owner. ACADEMIC ABSTRACT The prevalence of overweight and obesity in the feline population is estimated to be 25.7% and 33.8%, respectively. Feline obesity is associated with comorbidities such as insulin resistance and hepatic lipidosis. Several risk factors are associated with obesity including middle age, neuter status, decreased activity, and diet. Obesity management is multifaceted and includes client education, diet modification, and consistent monitoring. Successful obesity management may be dependent on owner perception of their cat’s quality of life during a prescribed weight loss plan. Low perceived quality of life may result in failure to complete the weight loss process. Food toys may be used to enhance environmental enrichment, allow cats to express their natural predatory behavior and overall improve owner-perceived quality of life. Therefore, we set out to investigate the role of food toys in owner-perceived quality of life of obese cats during a prescribed weight loss plan. Fifty-five cats with a BCS > 7 were enrolled in a double-blinded weight loss study and randomized into one of two groups: food toy (n=26) or food bowl (n=29). -
