Does your cat have allergies?

What Are Allergies?
When a cat has allergies, her immune system is overly sensitive to certain everyday substances and begins to identify them as dangerous. Even though these substances—or allergens—are usually common in most environments and harmless to most animals, a cat with allergies will have an extreme reaction to them. As her body tries to rid itself of these substances, she may show a variety of symptoms.

What Are the General Symptoms of Allergies in Cats?
Sneezing, coughing (if the cat has asthma), wheezing
Itchy skin/increased scratching
Itchy, runny eyes
Itchy back or base of tail (most commonly seen in flea allergies)
Itchy ears and ear infections
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Snoring caused by an inflamed throat
Paw chewing/swollen paws

Things that my cat can do better than your cat

My smart, annoying cat
by John Carroll, San Francisco Chronicle

My cat can sleep with one eye open longer than your cat. Merely lying on the daybed with one eye open doesn't count; that's just a cat being watchful. Conscious cats are always watchful. They have many enemies. Suppose a human sneezed within a three-room radius? They'd be so on top of that.

The sneeze is a noise that predators make. Few people know that.

But my cat can be dead asleep, totally zonked, and if you look closely, you can see that one eye open a slit. You know how some people call sleeping "40 winks"? They were talking about my cat. My cat can wink at you for hours and still be fast asleep. Should the sneeze monster arrive, my cat would be on guard. Perhaps a little slowly and stiffly, but on guard.

The Love Cat that needs a home

Feline's unique fur pattern means she's a real heart-throb

At first glance she looks like any other black and white moggy, but a closer look at her markings reveal she could well have been the inspiration for The Cure's top ten hit The Love Cats in 1983.

The abandoned cat has become a heart-throb with animal carers after they noticed she bore a unique marking on her side - a perfect HEART.

Black and white 'Bette Davis' was handed in to Gables Farm Dogs' and Cats' Home last month looking dishevelled and emaciated after she was dumped by her previous owners.

Rare Andean Cats Discovered in New Locale

A new population of the Andean cat, a house cat-sized feline thought to live exclusively in the high mountains of South America, has been discovered at lower elevations, extending the range of the endangered and elusive species.

Previously, it was believed the Andean cat lived only at and above elevations of 9,800 feet (3,000 meters), among the arid, rocky slopes of the high Andes. However, a lone photograph of two Andean cats in the foothills of central Argentina, captured in 2004, prompted a search for the species in the region.

Survey results show evidence of the cats at elevations as low as 2,100 feet (650 meters) in the Patagonian steppe region.
