  • Pet Ownership, Attachment, and Well-Being
    Pet Ownership, Attachment, and Well-Being by Maria Pranschke A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Neuroscience Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019 Maria Pranschke ii Abstract The present research examined links between attachment to pets and psychological well-being in different populations. Key factors among pet owners that were expected to moderate the relationship between attachment and well-being, notably social connectedness and genetic polymorphisms relating to oxytocinergic functioning, were also explored. Survey responses and saliva samples were gathered from attendees at a pet exhibition (Study 1), members of the public (pet owners and non- owners) at a mall and museum (Study 2), and low-income, marginally housed pet owners (Study 3). Pet owners reported greater quality of life and were more likely to have a polymorphism of the oxytocin receptor gene (rs225429). However, across all three studies, greater attachment to pets was associated with negative psychological well- being and the presence of physical health conditions. Overall, findings suggest that pet attachment and its relation to human well-being can differ depending on psychosocial characteristics of pet owners. iii Acknowledgements Over the two years it took to complete this thesis, I relied on the knowledge, guidance, and support of so many members of the Carleton community. First and foremost, I want to thank my supervisor, Dr. Kim Matheson, for taking me on as a master’s student and offering her wisdom and encouragement at every stage of the process. Her mentorship was vital in helping me to grow into my own as a researcher.

  • Kitty Basics
    Kitty Basics It’s exciting bringing a new kien into your life. You probably can’t wait to show your friends the cutie you picked out. And, of course, you want to play with him right away. But remember, your kien suddenly is in an environment he doesn’t know. Give him some time to adjust to his new home. Here are some hints to make him feel as comfortable as possible: • Teach children not to be rough with the kien; no pulling ears, whiskers or tail • Act calmly, not rowdy, around kien • Provide a warm, soft bed (or box or crate) in a cozy, out of the way place • Give kien a soft, indestructible toy or two • Play with kien at least 30 minutes per day • Never let your kien put his teeth on a human, even at play There are vaccines that your kien should receive between six and sixteen to twenty weeks of age to make him safe and healthy in his new world, whether indoors or outdoors. Some viruses may be brought into your house on people’s clothing or shoes. There is also a risk that a cat may be in contact with a disease‑carrying cat in your yard or house. Some vaccinations require booster shots to maintain effective levels of protection. Be sure to ask your vet about these. Your veterinarian may administer these at separate times a few weeks apart, each time in one injection.

  • Inappropriate Scratching in Cats
    Inappropriate Scratching in Cats Why do cats scratch? Scratching is a normal behavior that aids cats in the marking of their territories in the form of scratch marks. Scent glands in their paws leave olfactory clues for other cats to alert them to their presence. Cats also find it pleasurable as a means of exercise and stretching. Scratching also allows cats to keep their claws healthy and shortened. Unlike dogs, a cats’ claws do not exfoliate evenly from the end; rather they peel off in layers like an onion. What is inappropriate scratching? Inappropriate scratching is ultimately determined by the owner, but is generally directed at furniture, screens, carpets and rugs and other items that the cats finds suitable. What can I do to prevent this? The easiest way to prevent severe damage is to trim your cats nails every 2-4 weeks. It is best to begin this process when the cat is very young, as they will become more accustomed to this procedure. However, older cats can learn to tolerate it as well. Another excellent method is to provide them with a suitable scratching substrate. As with nail trimming, this is also best started at an early age before the scratching behavior begins, but older cats will also generally accept such items as carpet or sisal fiber scratching posts or corrugated cardboard. For more options, you can visit your local pet store or make your own from their preferred scratching material and a supporting board of wood. My cat is ignoring the scratching post. How do I get him/her to use it? Place the item in the areas that your cat(s) enjoys scratching.

The domestic cat is not native to any North American ecosystem (American Bird Conservancy, 2007). Due to a combination of their opportunistic predatory behavior and their occurrence in numbers exponentially higher than native predators, cats can wipe out bird populations from otherwise suitable habitat (Dauphiné and Cooper, 2009).

  • Why Do Cats Do That?
    WHY DO CATS DO THAT? Suggested Grade Level: Kindergarten-3 Character: Kindness Relative Subject(s): Language Arts Objective: To provide children with real answers to the curious things cats do. Materials: “Cats – True or False?” quiz Method: Have you ever wondered why cats do the things they do? If you have a cat, you’ve probably been curious about them. Today we’re going to get some real answers to some of the questions children usually have about cats. Why do cats have whiskers? What do they use them for? Whiskers are the long, thick hairs on a cat’s face. Whiskers, like hair and nails, do fall out and are replaced. You’ll notice that cats also have long “whisker-like” hairs on their cheeks, above their eyebrows, on their chin, and on the back of their front legs. Whiskers really serve three purposes: 1) Whiskers help a cat feel his way around. 2) Whiskers help us know how a cat is feeling. When a cat is mad, he’ll pull his whiskers back. When a cat is happy, the whiskers will be relaxed and pushed forward. 3) But, whiskers are used most of all to help a cat know if he’ll fit through openings. A cat’s whiskers are about the width of his body – sort of a natural ruler. A cat will stick his head in and out of an opening before he puts his body in. If his whiskers don’t fit, the rest of him won’t either! So, don’t ever break your cat’s “ruler” by cutting or trimming his whiskers! Why do cats purr? Have you heard a cat purr? It sounds like a low, rattling hum.

  • Felis Punctatis: Cat Claw-Induced Punctures
    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.1927 Felis Punctatis: Cat Claw-induced Punctures Philip R. Cohen 1 , Douglas S. Ramsay 2 1. Department of Dermatology, University of California, San Diego 2. Department of Oral Health Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, WA Corresponding author: Philip R. Cohen, [email protected] Abstract Animal-induced conditions in humans predominantly present as infectious zoonoses. However, trauma- associated injuries from the teeth or claws can also occur. Several zoonotic infections can be transmitted by cats, a common household pet, to their owners. The clinical features of a woman who developed multiple sites of trauma-induced cutaneous punctures from her cat’s paws while it was kneading on her clothes- covered abdomen are described. The repetitive insertion and withdrawal of the sharp tips of the cat’s claws created distinctive groups of erythematous punctures on the patient’s skin. We suggest that Latin nomenclature be used to designate the name for this claw-induced dermatosis that includes not only the causative animal (felis for cat) but also a descriptive term for the skin lesions (punctatis for punctures): felis punctatis. Categories: Dermatology Keywords: cat, claw, feline, felis, kneading, punctatis, punctures Introduction Domestic cats are common household pets. Several zoonotic conditions have been associated with cats, such as Bartonellosis (cat scratch fever) and sporotrichosis. We describe a woman with abdominal skin punctures created by her cat’s claws during kneading. Case Presentation A healthy, afebrile 56-year-old woman presented for evaluation of new asymptomatic red skin lesions on her abdomen. The lesions had appeared in a cluster several days prior and had become redder and more prominent.
