Your Cat May be Trying to Tell You Something!

Cats can be difficult to understand. They often seem secretive, aloof, and confusingly independent. But now, thanks to best selling author Arden Moore, you can better understand what your cats are trying to tell you by understanding their behavior. Are they bored? Are they mad? Are they sick? Cats are good communicators once you learn what their behavior means. In particular, cats are very good at letting us know when they are sick. As an example, bladder health issues such as FLUTD (Feline Urinary Tract Disease). One early warning sign is accidents outside the litter box. But since cats can’t talk, most owners view these accidents as misbehavior, often sending their cats to shelters rather than to the veterinarian for the care they require. Join us as we speak with Arden Moore and her cat Callie and Dr. Craig Prior. Ms. Moore talks about her book and helps to educate cat owners on signs their cats could be sick, not behaving badly. Expert veterinarian Craig Prior offers tips on keeping your cat healthy. Author Arden Moore and Dr. Prior discuss: What common cat behaviors might mask a serious health issue? How to banish bad litter box habits? Nighttime howling? Destructive clawing? What is the number one reason cats are being taking to the vet? And to animal shelters?
