Ask The Cat Doctor: Cat Health News with Franny Syufy

In this episode of Ask The Cat Doctor Cat Talk Radio, we discuss the important topic of feline dental care as we enter February, which is dental awareness month, including how often your cat’s teeth should be cleaned and how old is too old for a cat to undergo anesthesia. February is also spay and neuter month, and we discuss the symptoms of a cat in heat with a caller from New Mexico.

Other topics covered in this episode include cat bites, treating and preventing cat heartworm, the difference between cat “colds” and cat allergies, animal hoarding, and the recent news accusing cats of being serial bird killers. We are joined by a surprise guest, Franny Syufy from cats.about.com, who shares her thoughts on the idea of euthanizing cats for their natural hunting instincts.
