You recently added a furry friend to your household, and you want to make sure you are able to form a strong bond with him. How can you get to know him?

Your pet is just getting to know you as well as your living space, so make sure to give him ample time to do this. He will likely get overwhelmed if you don’t allow him to process things in his own time. Care for him constantly so he will know that he is a priority in your life, and set aside time for fun play sessions each and every day. Supervise your pet, and interact with him when he seeks you out. Over time, your efforts will be rewarded with a close relationship where you trust one another. For more information, please contact your local Fox Chapel, PA vet clinic.

Your cat has an amazing sense of hearing that is thousands of times more powerful than our own. Her ears have a number of special features to enhance her hearing. The ears are perched at a high vantage point on top of her head and shaped to direct sound into them. She can turn them to help locate the source of any sounds she may hear and want to investigate or escape from. The ears work independently to help determine the distance from sounds. Keep your cat’s ears clean. Use cat-safe ear rinse and cotton balls to remove excess wax and debris. If you use cotton swabs, only reach in as far as you can see to avoid damage to the ear canal. Examine your cat’s ears for scratches, cuts and signs of infection such as redness or swelling and excess or dark-colored discharge. These conditions will require medical attention. For more information, contact your Greensboro, NC veterinarian.
