  • Feral and Free Ranging Domestic Cats
    No. 306 THE WILDLIFER Page 57 FERAL AND FREE-RANGING DOMESTIC CATS Position Statement Free and free-ranging domestic cats are exotic species to North America. Exotic species are recognized as one of the most widespread and serious threats to the integrity of native wildlife populations and natural ecosystems. Exotic species present special challenges for wildlife managers because their negative impacts are poorly understood by the general public, many exotic species have become such an accepted component of the envirom- nent that many people regard them as "natural," some exotic species have advocacy groups that promote their continued presence, and few policies and laws deal directly with their control. Perhaps no issue has captured more of the challenges for contemporary wildlife management than the impacts of feral or free-ranging human companion or domestic animals. The domestic cat is the companion animal that recently has attracted the most attention for its impact on wildlife species. Domestic cats originated from an ancestral wild species, the European and African wild cat (Felis silvestris). The domestic cat (Felis catus) is now considered a separate species. The estimated numbers of pet cats in urban and rural regions of the United States have grown from 30 million in 1970 to nearly 65 million in 2000. Reliable estimates of the present total cat population are not available. Nationwide, approximately 30% of households have cats. In rural areas, approximately 60% of households have cats. The impact of domestic cats on wildlife is difficult to quantify. However, a growing body of literature strongly suggests that domestic cats are a significant factor in the mortality of small mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.

  • 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.

Missing Cats, Stray Coyotes: One Citizen’s Perspective * Judith C. Webster , Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Abstract : The author explores the issue of urban coyotes and coyote management from a cat owner’s perspective, with specific examples from Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Following a personal encounter with two coyotes in July 2005 that led to the death of a cat, the author has delved into the history of Vancouver’s “Co-existing with Coyotes”, a government-funded program run by a non- profit ecological society. The policy’s roots in conservation biology, the environmental movement, and the human dimensions branch of wildlife management are documented. The author contends that “Co-existing with Coyotes” puts people and pets at greater risk of attack by its inadequate response to habituated coyotes, and by an educational component that misrepresents real dangers and offers unworkable advice.

  • Understanding Human Factors Involved in the Unwanted Cat Problem
    UNDERSTANDING HUMAN FACTORS INVOLVED IN THE UNWANTED CAT PROBLEM Sarah Jane Maria Zito BVetMed MANZCVS (feline medicine) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2015 School of Veterinary Science I Abstract The large number of unwanted cats in many modern communities results in a complex, worldwide problem causing many societal issues. These include ethical concerns about the euthanasia of many healthy animals, moral stress for the people involved, financial costs to organisations that manage unwanted cats, environmental costs, wildlife predation, potential for disease spread, community nuisance, and welfare concerns for cats. Humans contribute to the creation and maintenance of unwanted cat populations and also to solutions to alleviate the problem. The work in this thesis explored human factors contributing to the unwanted cat problem—including cat ownership perception, cat caretaking, cat semi-ownership and cat surrender—and human factors associated with cat adoption choices and outcomes. To investigate human factors contributing to the unwanted cat problem, data were collected from 141 people surrendering cats to four animal shelters. The aim was to better understand the people and human-cat relationships involved, and ultimately to inform strategies to reduce shelter intake. Participants were recruited for this study when they surrendered a cat to a shelter and information was obtained on their demographics, cat interaction history, cat caretaking, and surrender reasons. This information was used to describe and compare the people, cats, and human-cat relationships contributing to shelter intake, using logistic regression models and biplot visualisation techniques. A model of cat ownership perception in people that surrender cats to shelters was proposed.

  • The Behaviour of the Domestic Cat, Second Edition
    12 Physiological and Pathological Causes of Behavioural Change Introduction Overt behaviour is the consequence of a cat perceiving some change in its environment, evaluating this change, deciding on an appropriate response and the response being generated through the motor systems of the brain to the elements of the skeletal system that control activity. Hence, although behaviour occurs as a consequence of changes in the external environment, the responses generated also depend on internal variations in the processing of information. These processes are susceptible to alteration due not only to normal physiological variations but also to pathological changes. Interpretation of behaviour, therefore, requires an understanding of how the generation of behaviour is modulated by factors influencing the internal state, as well as how responses are generated to events in the external environment. Pathological changes can be the sole cause of behavioural change – indeed, behavioural signs such as lameness are common first indicators of disease in veterinary medicine. In some cases complex behavioural signs, such as aggressive behaviour towards an owner, can occur entirely as a consequence of pathological events, such as focal seizures. Although such events are rare, their characteristics need to be distinguished from behaviours generated in response to external stimuli when investigating the cause of undesired behaviours. However, physiological or pathological changes more commonly modify cats’ behaviour rather than solely cause it. This is through alterations in one or more of the following: (i) perception of external events; (ii) the motivation to show a response; (iii) the threshold at which a response is shown; and (iv) the manner in which a response is generated.

A Happy Healthy Neutered Barn Cat Every circumstance is quite the same. You buy a farm with a barn, already present are the faces of hungry cats and kittens looking to call the barn still their home. People sell or leave the farm with all animals taken except the cats. Most farm cats possess no worth to people. People seem to love the fact that cats will keep the area rodent free, still they are considered a nuisance and not cared for or wanted. They seem to just show up as soon as you turn on a light or show any sign of activity in the barn. More than likely, they have lived there before you did. Most people view the barn/farm cat as a disposable animal that has no worth. Quite the opposite, they are worth their weight in gold. They rid your barn and farm from varmints that can make your farm an unhealthy place for other animals and yourself. 1 Given the respect they deserve, spay or neutered and a clean safe environment to work from, food, water and shelter from the elements outside, they will earn and prove just how dedicated and valuable they can become to any size of barn or farm.

  • Truth About Cats and Dogs
    Everybody wants to be a cat Bengal Cat Siberian Cat Savanah Cat Siamese Cat Sphinx Cat Russian Blue Memories Big Ear Cat . One of the most popular breeds of cat in the USA, this short-haired breed has the old name for the country where it was thought to have originated. Which fine-boned, slender, medium-sized breed of cat is this? Abyssinian Abyssinian • Although this breed was developed in Great Britain, it was given the old name for what is now Ethiopia/Abyssinia. • It was thought the breed developed from kittens brought home by returning soldiers coming from that part of the world. • There is an element of truth in the story but, it now seems that the soldiers almost certainly bought their kittens from Egyptian traders, rather than Ethiopian ones. Indeed, recent research suggests that the breed may have developed from a single cat, named Zula, bought by a soldier in Alexandria in 1868. • This breed is sometimes called a "Purebred Long-haired Siamese", since is developed as a mutation from the standard Siamese. Noted for its sapphas a light-coloured body with darker extremities. Considered the most intelligent of all long- haired breeds, which cat is this? Bengal Bengal cat • This is a rare breed of domestic cat from France. Large and muscular(called cobby) with relatively short, fine-boned limbs, and very fast reflexes. They are known for their blue (grey) water-resistant short hair double coats and orange or copper-colored eyes. They are also known for their “smile”. These cats are exceptional hunters and are highly prized by farmers.
