The Devon Rex
The Breed of the Month is… The Devon Rex Overview The Devon Rex has been referred to as “the pixies of the cat fancy”, “elfin magic”, or as to resembling the “gremlins from the film Star Wars.” Along with their impish features, the Devon Rex sports a short soft velvety wavy coat. They are a cat of impish looks and a mischievous personality to match. The Devon Rex is an intelligent and highly active cat. History The Devon Rex originates from Buckfastleigh, Devon, England. It is here a feral tom cat with a brownish-black curly coat had been observed living in an abandoned tin mine. In 1960, Miss Beryl Cox, who lived near the old mine, gave shelter behind her house to a stray tortoiseshell & white female. The female gave birth to a litter of kittens in her back garden. One of these kittens had the same brownish-black curly coat as the feral tom. It is believed that the mother may have been one of his offspring and that he sired her litter as well. Miss Cox kept the curly coated kitten and named him Kirlee. Ten years prior, another curly kitten had been discovered in Cornwall, England. This kitten was named Kallibunker and was being used by interested breeders to establish the Rex cat as a breed. Brian Sterling-Webb was one of the breeders trying to preserve this curly coat gene. Miss Cox contacted Brian Sterling-Webb thinking her Kirlee could be able to contribute to that program. Kirlee was sold to Mr.Sterling-Webb and was integrated into the breeding program. -
Feline Leukemia Virus and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, Important Information for Cat Lovers
KAR Friends June 2012 Dear Reader, Summer is here and with it -- warm weather and fun in the sun! This month we bring you some fun facts about dogs and cats. Our Ask the Vet column addresses the Feline Leukemia Virus and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, important information for cat lovers. Doggie Den provides some helpful tips for improving your canine’s table manners, and Cat’s Corner shares the happy adoption story of two cats with feline leukemia that found the perfect forever home. Danielle Wallis Lynn Bolhuis Marketing Coordinator KAR Friends Editor P.S. Our special Spring Edition newsletter was mailed last week. This issue has more great rescue and adoption stories, and you can view it right here. Pet Fun Facts It’s A Hairy World Out There By Kerrie Jo Harvey IN THIS ISSUE… The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be Pet Fun Facts judged by the way its animals are treated. ~ Ghandi Ask the Vet ~ FeLV and FIV Did you know that when it comes to Doggie Den ~ Dog having pets, the United States is first Table Manners among nations for having the most four-legged critters as family Cats Corner ~ A Tale of members? According to pet Two Kitties population data posted on the Mapsofworld.com website, American families have 61,080,000 dogs in their households. Not that we like to brag or anything, but the US has twice the number of Brazil, who fills second place with 30,051,000 canines. Perhaps this means that American families are twice as fortunate when it comes to enjoying the companionship and loyalty of man’s best friend. -

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)
Polycystic Kidney Disease About the disease Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (AD-PKD) is a problem in Persian cats and related breeds, especially Chinchillas, Exotics and British Shorthairs. The Molecular Diagnostic Unit has been oFFering a genetic test to diagnose autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (AD-PKD) in cats since April 2005 About the test This genetic test is a PCR-based pyrosequencing assay and evaluations oF the test have shown excellent agreement with the results oF ultrasound screening. The test has revolutionised testing For AD-PKD. Until recently specialist ultrasound scanning was been required For diagnosis, but the identiFication oF a speciFic genetic mutation associated with Feline AD-PKD means that PCR can now be used to identiFy AFFected cats. Cats screened using our genetic test and Found to be negative For the PKD mutation can be listed on the ICC PKD negative register. The Following graph shows the percentage oF PKD AFFected cats detected by the Molecular Diagnostic Unit between 2005 and 2018. This clearly shows a decline in the percentage oF cats testing positive For the AD-PKD genetic mutation, which is likely due to AD-PKD screening and selective breeding. Polycystic Kidney Disease Interpretation of results A Normal AD-PKD genetic test result means that the cat does not have the respective genetic mutation. An Affected AD-PKD genetic test result means that the cat has one normal and one mutant copy oF the PKD1 gene. Presence oF the mutant PKD1 gene has been strongly associated with polycystic kidney disease. Each certiFicate we issue will speciFy whether the cat is Normal or AfFected For the PKD1 mutation. -

Myelopathy—Paresis and Paralysis in Cats
Myelopathy—Paresis and Paralysis in Cats (Disorder of the Spinal Cord Leading to Weakness and Paralysis in Cats) Basics OVERVIEW • “Myelopathy”—any disorder or disease affecting the spinal cord; a myelopathy can cause weakness or partial paralysis (known as “paresis”) or complete loss of voluntary movements (known as “paralysis”) • Paresis or paralysis may affect all four limbs (known as “tetraparesis” or “tetraplegia,” respectively), may affect only the rear legs (known as “paraparesis” or “paraplegia,” respectively), the front and rear leg on the same side (known as “hemiparesis” or “hemiplegia,” respectively) or only one limb (known as “monoparesis” or “monoplegia,” respectively) • Paresis and paralysis also can be caused by disorders of the nerves and/or muscles to the legs (known as “peripheral neuromuscular disorders”) • The spine is composed of multiple bones with disks (intervertebral disks) located in between adjacent bones (vertebrae); the disks act as shock absorbers and allow movement of the spine; the vertebrae are named according to their location—cervical vertebrae are located in the neck and are numbered as cervical vertebrae one through seven or C1–C7; thoracic vertebrae are located from the area of the shoulders to the end of the ribs and are numbered as thoracic vertebrae one through thirteen or T1–T13; lumbar vertebrae start at the end of the ribs and continue to the pelvis and are numbered as lumbar vertebrae one through seven or L1–L7; the remaining vertebrae are the sacral and coccygeal (tail) vertebrae • The brain -
Kitten Gear Checklist
Kitten Gear Checklist Bowls for food and water. I recommend stainless steel or ceramic. Plastic bowls can cause chin acne, which can be a nasty condition to treat. I also recommend a water fountain as this does encourage pets to drink. For cats, get a fountain with a gentle stream that has areas where the cat can drink from the bowl or from water flowing over a surface. Food. We feed our kittens canned and dry food, so they will be weaned on both. We use Royal Canin cat food that's available from pet stores or a vet. We don't feed raw or freeze dried food. We've tried them, but our cats don't like them. Litter box. You'll need one litter box for each cat, plus one. So if you have one cat, you'll need two litter boxes, two cats, three boxes and so on. Cats naturally cover up their waste and they need enough room to do that. Would you want to step in or shovel through your own waste? Your cat doesn't either. If you want to use a covered litter box, I advise getting one covered and one uncovered. Some cats don't like covered litter boxes. Cat litter. Clumping clay litter is the best. It's easy to clean and it absorbs odours if the cat covers up after himself, which he will typically do if he can. Do NOT get scented litter. A cat's nose is more sensitive than yours and the scent is too strong. Besides, what's a bit of scent going to do? Trust me, it doesn't help. -
Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (Pkdef) in Cats
Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency About the disease Pyruvate kinase deficiency is an inherited disease of Abyssinian and Somali cats. Pyruvate kinase is a red blood cell enzyme important in red blood cell energy metabolism. Therefore, if this enzyme is lacking, a haemolytic anaemia can result. However, the anaemia may only be mild and intermittently detectable, or may not become evident until the cat is older. A rapid severe life-threatening anaemia can also develop. The disease is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, so only cats with two copies of the defective gene are affected. Carrier cats are clinically healthy but can pass the defective gene to their offspring. About the test The Molecular Diagnostic Unit offers a genetic test to diagnose autosomal-recessive pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKDef) in cats. This genetic test is a PCR-based pyrosequencing assay that can reliably distinguish between Affected, Carrier and Normal cats. It is highly recommended that all Abyssinian and Somali cats used for breeding are tested for the defective gene, as well as cats of these breeds showing signs of haemolytic anaemia. For Somali cats, testing for PKDef is now compulsory if cats are to be registered on the GCCF (Governing Council of the Cat Fancy) active register and used for breeding. Please note: The test detects the Normal and Mutant PKDef genes found in domestic cats. The test also works in Bengal and Savannah cats, and detects the Asian Leopard Cat or Serval gene if present (i.e. in F1/F2 cats). There is no point in testing Asian Leopard Cats and Servals for PKDef since the mutant gene came from the domestic cat population. -
10-Year-Old, Female Spayed, British Shorthair Cross Cat with Pruritus in Right Periocular, Neck and Ear Region
10-year-old, female spayed, British shorthair cross cat with pruritus in right periocular, neck and ear region. What is the process for the dermal cartilage deposition? 1) Neoplastic 2) Metaplastic (secondary to prolonged inflammation) 3) Metaplastic and proliferative (secondary to repeat injury) 4) Dystrophic 5) Dysplastic CORRECT Signalment: 10-year-old, female spayed, British shorthair cross cat History: Pruritus in the right periocular, neck and ear region that was initially responsive to prednisone at .25 mg/kg BID. Pruritus recurred and patient was treated with cyclosporine (dose unknown). Biopsy performed due to failure to respond to cyclosporine. Clinical Presentation: Patchy alopecia with crusts along the along the pinnal margins, periocular region and neck with moderate to severe pruritus. Histopathologic Description: The epidermis is hyperplastic and spongiotic. The superficial dermis contains a mild to moderate inflammatory infiltrate consisting of eosinophils and mast cells (Figures 1- 4). There is widespread eosinophil exocytosis. In the section from the pinna, there is extension of the cartilage into the superficial dermis. The cartilage is convoluted, fragmented, and composed of numerous chondrones (Figures 2-4). Chondrocytes show mild variation in cell size. The section from the periocular region includes a small crust, and deeper sectioning fails to reveal any evidence of acantholysis (Figure 1). Morphologic diagnosis: EOSINOPHILIC AND MASTOCYTIC SUPERFICIAL DERMATITIS AND CHONDRODYSPLASIA, PINNA, FELINE EOSINOPHILIC AND MASTOCYTIC SUPERIFICIAL DERMATITIS WITH SEROCELLULAR CRUST, PERIOCULAR REGION, FELINE Comment: The interesting feature of this case revolves around character of the dermal cartilage within the sections from the pinna (Figures 2 -4). This biopsy was actually taken from the cutaneous marginal pouch of the pinna.
