What happens when you tell a funny joke to a duck?
(Answer at the end of the newsletter.)

You Know You Are a "Cat Person" When...
1. You feed the cat by spoon when he turns up his nose at
his dish.
2. You let the kitten or cat climb and sit on your
shoulder, no matter how much they use their claws.
3. You let the cat nibble on your ear.
4. You can identify which kitten it is by just a paw
sticking out of the carrier in the back seat of the car.
5. You have your kids call the cats their brothers and
sisters, and they do.
6. When you make quilts for your human kids, you make one
for each of your cats so they won't feel left out.
7. You buy special "cat" design fabric for the cat's
blankets.
8. You buy expensive wool pads or pillows for your cats to
sleep on.
9. You spend hours at cat sites on the web, just for fun!
10. You have a link to icanhascheezburger.com on your
computer desktop.

How to Cure Bad Breath in Dogs and Cats
Most of us who love our pets enjoy their happy greetings,
even if they do involve being licked repeatedly. But their
greetings are not so pleasant if our darling cat or dog
melts our faces with their bad breath! That is especially
true first thing in the morning, when our own breath may not
be so great either.
Bad breath in cats and dogs can be caused by a number of
things, from simply something the animal has just eaten to a
serious health issue. But most often, if the cat or dog is
otherwise healthy, it is simply that their teeth are not
clean.
We have found a great solution to the dirty mouth/bad breath
problem. It is called the Pet Dental Kit.
The basic kit has a specially formulated Pet Oral
Hygiene Solution that not only freshens your pet's breath
but helps to reduce the formation of tartar and plaque on
the teeth, which in turn reduces the chance of gum disease.
The Kit also contains Pet Gel with Oxygene that, when
applied using the Triple-Pet Toothbrush that is also
supplied, cleans and deodorizes the dog's or cat's gums.
This product has been checked out and is endorsed by many
veterinarians and we love it.
Try it for yourself, it is available at low cost. If your
pet still has a bad breath problem after you have used the
Pet Dental Kit for a few weeks, take it to your veterinarian
for a check, there may be some health problem that is
causing the bad odor and not simply dental hygiene.

How to Train a Cat
Our young daughter had adopted a stray cat. To my distress,
he began to use the back of our new sofa as a scratching
post. "Don't worry," my husband reassured me. "I'll have him
trained in no time."
I watched for several days as my husband patiently "trained"
our new pet. Whenever the cat scratched, my husband
deposited him outdoors to teach him a lesson.
The cat learned quickly. For the next 12 years, whenever he
wanted to go outside, he scratched the back of the sofa.

New Drug to Fight Cancer in Canines
Pfizer Animal Health, Inc has been given the okay from
the U. S. FDA for developing the first of it's kind drug.
This new drug called Palladia, which means to provide
protection, will be used to treat a type of mast cell
cancer of the skin in dogs.
These skin cells account for about 20% of all skin
cancers in dogs. But, a large number of that percent
turn into life threatening growths on the dogs which usually
spreads to the lymph nodes.
Previously the only recourse veterinarians had to treat
cancer in animals was with approved treatments for
humans, of which studies on animals has been woefully lacking
as to the effectiveness of these treatments on animals.
