Black cats are gorgeous with their stunning‚ inky‚ velvet coats and expressive eyes. Because of how dark their fur is‚ their eyes seem to stand out even more. Most black cats will have irises with one of three colors: yellow/gold‚ orange/copper‚ or green‚ although yellow is the most common iris color seen in black cats. But why do some black cats have orange eyes? It all comes down to genetics‚ so buckle in; we’re going to give you a high school biology class refresher to teach you all about cat genetics so you can better understand the “why” and “how” behind a black cat’s fur and eye color. What Determines a Cat’s Eye &; Coat Color? We all know that genetics play an important role in the color of a cat’s fur‚ but genetics are also responsible for determining their eye color. Cells known as melanocytes are responsible for the production and storage of melanin‚ the pigment that determines skin‚ fur‚ and eye color. In a cat’s hair shaft‚ these cells make pigment granules known as pheomelanin (red-yellow) and eumelanin (black-brown). Black cats will naturally produce a high amount of eumelanin‚ explaining why they have such gorgeous black coats. Melanocytes are also responsible for determining a cat’s eye color. However‚ it is important to note that the melanin created by these melanocytes doesn’t affect the color of the eyes quite the same way it does their fur. You are free to use this image but we do require you to link back to catster.com for credit What Causes Orange Eyes? The presence‚ or absence‚ of pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes in a cat’s iris will determine their eye color. The color and its intensity will depend on the amount of melanin present in the two layers of the iris: the stroma and the posterior pigmented epithelium. Cats with more melanocytes will have a more orange in their eyes. Those with blue eyes have no melanin in the stroma‚ the thickest layer of the iris. What gives them the blue color is the light that enters the eye and gets scattered back. Black cats with a large number of melanocytes can have eyes that vary from amber to copper. What Cat Breeds Can Have Orange Eyes? Though orange is among the rarest eye colors for cats‚ some breeds will sport orange eyes more often than others. The Bombay is actually the only cat breed that consists solely of black-colored cats. Their eyes will always be copper or golden-colored. Turkish Vans are another breed known for their stunning eye colors. They’ll most often have amber or orange eyes‚ though blue and odd-eyed (one eye of each color) are acceptable as part of the Turkish Van breed standard. British Shorthairs are also known for their big‚ gorgeous orange eyes‚ though this isn’t the only color seen in this breed. The breed standard also includes deep sapphire blue and gold. Image Credit: mikimiki16‚ Shutterstock Is Coat Color Associated With Eye Color? Coat and eye color are not always linked in cats. For example‚ cats that carry the uncommon albino mutation will have a white coat and blue eyes. Other types of mutations‚ such as those in the Tyrosinase gene‚ also called the color gene‚ will result in colorpoint cats‚ like the Burmese and Siamese. Burmese will have yellow to gold eyes and Siamese will have blue eyes. Most cats with white coats will have blue eyes‚ and many of these beautiful cats also tend to be born deaf. Scientists have determined that one specific dominant gene called W (for White) is responsible for the snow-white coat coloration‚ as well as the blue eyes and deafness these cats are sometimes known for. A cat carrying the W gene will have a white coat with 100% certainty. However‚ the likelihood of that cat being born deaf will depend on its eye color. Researchers found that 17% to 22% of white cats with non-blue eyes are born deaf‚ while upwards of 65% to 85% of all-white cats with two blue eyes will be deaf. Final Thoughts Cat genetics are fascinating‚ especially in the case of black cats. All cats’ eye colors are determined by genetics. Cats with orange eyes will have more pigment-producing cells (AKA melanocytes) in their irises. How active these melanocytes are will determine how intense of an orange color their eyes are.

The post Do Persian Cats Shed? Facts &; Grooming Tips by Ashley Bates appeared first on Catster. Copying over entire articles infringes on copyright laws.

If you have had your eye on the beautiful Persian cat‚ you may wonder a little about the grooming. After all‚ one of the best qualities about this cat is their long‚ lustrous fur. With coats like that‚ they are often challenging to keep up with and manage. In this article‚ we are going to discuss whether a Persian sheds‚ how much they shed‚ and aspects of grooming. Then‚ you can decide if getting a Persian is the right move for you. Persian Cats Shed Persian cats absolutely shed. When you purchase one of these cats‚ you can expect to keep up with a lot of grooming daily. Not only will you have to brush them to collect the shed‚ but you will also have to sweep and clean your fabrics‚ linens‚ and furniture. Are Persians Hypoallergenic? Persian cats are not hypoallergenic. In fact‚ their long‚ thick coats actually might trigger allergies more often. So‚ if you’re looking for an allergy-friendly breed‚ the Persian doesn’t fit the bill. Image Credit: pickpik What to Expect When Grooming Persians Grooming Persians can be challenging‚ especially for novice owners. These cats require daily care‚ as you have very thick double coats that mat and tangle easily. They need thorough brushing‚ continuous coat management‚ and shed collection. Bathing Long haired cats such as the Persian need to get a bath roughly every 4 to 6 weeks. Because they have such dense fur‚ lots of dirt‚ dander‚ and debris can get trapped. However‚ if your Persian has any significant skin issues‚ you might want to avoid frequent full-body baths. Brushing Get used to brushing your Persian! They have extreme grooming needs that will result in you giving them daily brushings. You might even have to brush them multiple times a day to keep up during high shed seasons. Here are some of the tools you should have on hand. Image Credit: artcasta‚ Shutterstock Slicker Brushes Slicker brushes are an excellent item to have on hand to keep shedding under control. These brushes are perfect for everyday use‚ collecting shed and debris in the fur. All slicker brushes are easy to clean‚ whether they have a manual or a self-cleaning mechanism. Bristle Brushes Bristle brushes are terrific for coat maintenance. They smooth the coat‚ giving it a fresh appearance. While they can lightly remove debris and shed‚ these aren’t the best for deeply penetrating the coat. Deshedding Tools Deshedding tools are very convenient to have on hand. They are designed to deeply penetrate all the way to the skin‚ taking off the dead undercoat. These tools are not meant to be used on an everyday basis. In fact‚ you should only use them during deep grooming sessions‚ such as when bathing. How to Reduce Shedding in Persians You might wonder how to reduce shedding when you have a Persian. While you can’t stop it completely‚ there are practices you can put in place to make it less of a hassle. Proper Grooming: If you keep up with proper grooming practices‚ you should have an easier time reducing shed and keeping your Persian looking fresh. Frequent Cleaning: If you have a Persian‚ it’s a good idea to run the vacuum every day. Not just on floors but on upholstery and other fabrics‚ too. Image Credit: slowmotiongli‚ Shutterstock Other Fun Facts About Owning Persians Persian cats are stunning beauties. These brachycephalic cats have extremely unique appearances with dashing long coats and smashed-in faces. They look distinguished‚ renowned‚ and wise all the while being cute as the day is long—who could ask for more? Origin Persian cats‚ you guessed it‚ came from Persia—now modern-day Iran. They are an ancient breed that has been around since at least 1684 BC. However‚ it is uncertain just how they developed. One thing is for sure: we’re glad they did! Temperament The Persian is known for its lovable‚ amiable nature. They are very agreeable in households and tend to acclimate very well to various lifestyles. Because of their docility and patience‚ they can be good for children and seniors alike. Because the Persian is laidback and good-natured‚ they tend to get along well with most other house pets‚ too. Proper introductions will make them best friends with the family cat or dog. They can be cuddling in the corner or playing with a favorite toy. Even though they don’t have notable prey drives‚ they are still cats with predatory instincts. They should never be trusted with smaller pets. So‚ don’t let your Persian’s innocent face fool you into thinking that they want to be best friends with your pet hamster. Image Credit: Sergey Nemirovsky‚ Shutterstock Health Since Persians are brachycephalic‚ which means they have short muzzles and shallow eye sockets‚ they can have breathing problems. They can also suffer from a number of other ailments‚ such as: Polycystic kidney disease Cardiovascular disease Hip dysplasia Bladder stones Progressive retinal atrophy Kittens If you want a Persian kitten‚ you shouldn’t have any trouble locating one. It might be a bit of a drive‚ but the chances of a breeder being in your area are pretty high. You might have to sign a contract or put down a deposit. There are also Persians available at rescues and shelters‚ so check if you’re interested in adoption. Be ready to jump through hoops and match adoption criteria before being selected for a cat. Image Credit: Linn Currie‚ Shutterstock Conclusion Now you understand that the Persian’s coat takes daily care. If you mismanage the coat‚ it will quickly develop mats and tangles. So‚ it’s best to make brushing an everyday occurrence. When you’re cuddled up on the couch‚ you can use a brush as a petting method when all is calm. No matter how you choose to integrate coat care into your routine‚ make sure that you stay ahead of it. Featured Image Credit: DreamBig‚ Shutterstock The post Do Persian Cats Shed?

It is many pet parents’ worst nightmare to receive the devastating news that their beloved pet has cancer. This unfortunate disease can affect different types of pets around the world‚ from our cherished felines to feathered birds‚ and even hamsters. An estimated 30 to 40% of cats may suffer from cancer 1‚ with nearly a 1 in 5 chance of developing it 2. These are concerning statistics‚ and it’s therefore understandable why Pet Cancer Awareness Month was created. Pet Cancer Awareness Month was created to bring awareness and raise funds for pets with cancer. The month can be celebrated in November by any pet parent or supporter. About Pet Cancer Awareness Month Pet Cancer Awareness Month was created by the Animal Cancer Foundation in 2005. The month is celebrated around the world and aims to bring awareness to cancer in pets. Funds are usually raised through donations to support comparative oncology research for both humans and pets. This research is incredibly important to understand naturally occurring cancers and provide pet parents with more insight into this devastating disease and possible treatments. According to VetMed‚ feline cancer is not well-represented‚ and more research is needed. There seems to be less information on feline cancer than in dogs‚ which is quite concerning to cat parents and veterinary experts alike. Cancer in pets has no definite cure yet‚ and many pets fight a long and hard battle against this disease. When Is It Celebrated? Pet Cancer Awareness Month has been celebrated annually in November for over 18 years now. The month takes place from the 1st of November to the 30th of November each year. Image Credit: SUJITRA CHAOWDEE‚ Shutterstock How You Can Celebrate During Pet Cancer Awareness Month Helping to raise awareness about pet cancer and supporting the fundraisers that happen during Pet Cancer Awareness Month is a great way to celebrate the day. Otherwise‚ the day can be focused on loving your cats with cancer‚ whether they are currently fighting the battle‚ have overcome it‚ or already lost their lives. The Animal Cancer Foundation recommends we uplift others fighting cancer. This can be done by taking part in their awareness walk or inviting friends or family to join it. You can also share photos or videos of your cats on social media with the hashtag #curepetcancer. You could even share your cat’s cancer stories on social media and your favorite photos of them too. If you are not fond of social media‚ you could speak about your pet’s cancer stories to friends or family. Some pet parents prefer to celebrate by lighting a candle every day in remembrance of their pet who lost their lives to cancer. In Conclusion Pet Cancer Awareness Month is all about bringing awareness to pets with cancer during November. It happens annually with efforts to raise funds for more research to understand how cancer can affect both pets and humans. Some people prefer to bring awareness during the month by partaking in fundraiser walks and social media posts‚ while others prefer a more private celebration to honor their pets.

October is National Animal Safety and Protection Month‚ a month dedicated to protecting animals and keeping them safe. This is a great time for pet owners to learn about common health concerns and risks that affect their pets. Learn more about National Animal Safety and Protection Month and how you can celebrate. History of National Animal Safety and Protection Month National Animal Safety and Protection Month is an entire month dedicated to promoting safe practices for the care and handling of domestic pets and wild animals. It focuses on the role animals play in our everyday lives to encourage fair‚ kind‚ and respectful treatment. The holiday was created by the PALS Foundation‚ an organization that was created to help people and animals coexist in ways that benefit both of them. PALS believes that all humans must understand why animals are so important to our existence. Image Credit: Karpova‚ Shutterstock National Animal Safety and Protection Month for Pets While the holiday focuses on all animals‚ as pet owners‚ we can celebrate by learning more about our pets and taking a proactive approach to their health and wellness. Here are some tips to keep your pets safe and healthy: Stay current on vaccinations and checkups: Properly caring for your pet’s health means keeping up with yearly or twice-yearly checkups and vaccinations. This gives your vet an opportunity to examine your pet and spot any early warning signs of a health problem. Know the signs of an allergic reaction: Animals can suffer from allergic reactions just like humans. The signs of an allergic reaction include swelling‚ redness‚ itching‚ obsessive licking‚ vomiting‚ and difficulty breathing. If you suspect an allergic reaction‚ contact your local emergency vet. Avoid toxic foods: A lot of human foods are toxic to our dogs and cats‚ including onions‚ grapes‚ chocolate‚ and caffeine. It’s important to know what foods are toxic to your pets and the signs of toxicity are to prevent the severe signs and possible death. Avoid hazardous household chemicals: Plenty of household chemicals can be dangerous for pets‚ including detergents‚ bleach‚ glues‚ and auto supplies that can be harmful when inhaled‚ swallowed‚ or come in contact with the skin. Keep your pets away from chemicals while you’re using them‚ and make sure they’re stored in an area they can’t access. Remove toxic plants: There are a lot of popular houseplants that aren’t safe for your dog or cat‚ such as tulips‚ lilies‚ pothos‚ and aloe vera. These plants shouldn’t be kept in your home where your pets can access them. Spay or neuter your pets: Spaying or neutering your pets is a responsible choice to not only prevent unwanted litters but also curb problem behaviors like roaming and aggression. If you spay or neuter your pet at the appropriate age‚ it can reduce the risk of reproductive cancers‚ infections‚ and other conditions. Get a microchip: If your pet gets lost‚ a microchip can mean the difference between getting them back or not. Collars and ID tags can be removed or may fall off‚ but a microchip gives a vet or shelter your contact information to ensure your pet is returned. They’re also registered to you‚ so it’s more difficult for someone to steal your pet and pass them off as their own. Learn first aid and create an emergency plan: Caring for your pet at home can prevent minor injuries from becoming more severe. You can speak to your vet about basic first aid for animals and what to look out for. You should also create an evacuation plan for fires‚ floods‚ tornados‚ hurricanes‚ earthquakes‚ or other natural disasters to get all your pets out safely and as quickly as possible. Image Credit: Gorodenkoff‚ Shutterstock Conclusion National Animal Safety and Protection Month only happens in October‚ but it’s important to have a proactive approach to your pet’s care‚ safety‚ and well-being all year long. These tips should help you care for your pet and keep them protected every day.

Urdu is the national language of Pakistan. It is also spoken in Nepal‚ India‚ and other Asian countries‚ whether officially or unofficially recognized. Some cat breeds are wild hybrids‚ so an Urdu name might be fighting for some pets. Felines with origins in these areas include the Burmese‚ Persian‚ Javanese‚ Bengal‚ Balinese‚ and Arabian Mau. How to Name Your Pet Many people let their cats inspire them‚ whether it’s with their behavior or looks. Sometimes‚ you just know what their name should be by looking at them or spending time with them. It’s worth noting that felines learn their names over time. After all‚ they are intelligent animals and can learn to make associations between events and the sounds they hear. It doesn’t take long for a cat to figure out which ones mean good things. With that said‚ pick something that is short and easy to memorize. However‚ also make sure the name is fitting for your cat in one way or another.

Allergies in cats can sometimes have the same symptoms as us – watery eyes and nose‚ mild congestion‚ and sometimes coughing. More frequently‚ allergies in cats will manifest as itchy skin‚ redness‚ and/or swelling of the skin. The brand name Zyrtec may sound familiar to you. It’s a common over-the-counter (OTC) allergy medication that many of us have taken in the midst of pollen season. But can Zyrtec also be given to your cat? Yes‚ Zyrtec can be given to cats‚ but it’s important to consult your veterinarian before giving Zyrtec to your cat. In this article we’ll discuss what Zyrtec is‚ if and how you can give it to your cat‚ and potential side effects that your cat may experience. What Is Zyrtec? Zyrtec is the brand name for the drug Cetirizine HCL (Cetirizine Hydrochloride). Zyrtec is an antihistamine allergy medication. When your cat’s body reacts to an irritant and/or an allergen‚ the body will release histamine. This is a natural substance that occurs and can be released with no problems. With allergies and/or an allergic reaction‚ excessive histamine can cause itching‚ redness‚ and sometimes swelling. Antihistamines work by blocking histamine from attaching to certain cell receptors that then cause the effects listed above. Zyrtec is in the class of antihistamines that are classified as an H-1 blocker. Image Credit: David Herraez Calzada‚ Shutterstock How Is Zyrtec Given to Cats? Zyrtec is given orally. If your veterinarian recommends you give the OTC product‚ it comes as a tablet‚ chewable tablet‚ gelcap‚ or a children’s formula liquid. The gelcap will likely not be recommended due to the dosing your cat needs. If your cat is difficult to give medication to‚ your veterinarian may also have the medication compounded. This means that a compounding pharmacy will make the medication into different forms than what is available OTC and can also make it flavored. Zyrtec can be given to cats every 12–24 hours‚ or once to twice a day. It does not have to be given with food‚ though giving a cat medication can be extremely difficult. Sometimes giving it in food can be much easier as your cat may eat it more easily in a snack such as tuna. Giving Zyrtec with or without food will not alter its effectiveness. Zyrtec Dosage for Cats It’s important that you know the current weight on your cat. Depending on the weight of your cat‚ the dosing for Cetirizine is 1 mg of Zyrtec per 1 kilogram of your cat’s body weight. Typically‚ this will be 2.5 mg to 5 mg total. However‚ make sure to check this with your veterinarian as they may recommend a different dose. Image Credit: Veera‚ Shutterstock What Happens If You Miss a Dose? The best part is that there are no serious side effects if a dose is not given‚ or if your cat just won’t allow you to give them the medication. Zyrtec is not a medication that has to be weaned up or down in order to be effective for your cat. It’s worth noting that significant allergies in cats are often not affected by OTC antihistamine products. In other words‚ you will not notice any improvement in the allergy symptoms if your cat has significant allergies. If you are regularly giving your cat the recommended dose of Zyrtec‚ and both you and your veterinarian are not noticing an improvement in their allergy signs‚ it may not work for them. At that time‚ you should discuss other options with your veterinarian. Potential Side Effects of Zyrtec in Cats In general‚ cats can be very stubborn and dramatic when getting any medication. Zyrtec does not have any common side effects‚ but some cats will spit‚ drool‚ foam at the mouth‚ and be dramatic simply because they are being medicated. Mild drowsiness is possible‚ especially with smaller cats‚ but does not always occur. If your cat has underlying liver and/or kidney disease‚ your veterinarian may recommend a lower dose and/or a less frequent dose. This is because it may take your cat longer to process the medication if they have the existing conditions. Frequently Asked Questions Can I Give My Cat Zyrtec D? No! This can be extremely harmful and potentially deadly for your cat. The “D” in the name stands for decongestion‚ and this formula contains the drug pseudoephedrine. Pseudoephedrine can be extremely harmful to dogs and cats‚ and can be highly fatal. Never give your cat or dog any medication containing pseudoephedrine unless explicitly prescribed by your veterinarian. Is Zyrtec Effective? Zyrtec can be effective for mild pruritus (itchiness) in your cat. However‚ for severe underlying allergies‚ OTC medications are often not enough. Your cat may need a new diet‚ appropriate flea preventative‚ prescription allergy medications‚ or steroids to completely stop itching. Conclusion Allergies in cats are most frequently seen as itching skin. Over-the-counter antihistamines can sometimes be helpful in relieving some of the most common symptoms of allergies. Zyrtec is one of these common OTC medications that can be given. It comes in oral form and should be dosed based on your cat’s current weight and your veterinarian’s recommendations based on that weight. Zyrtec is given as an oral medication either in tablet or liquid form‚ or your veterinarian may have a compounding pharmacy make the medication into a different form. There are very few side effects aside from occasional drowsiness. It’s important that you never give your cat Zyrtec-D‚ and you are aware that any OTC antihistamine may not be effective. Always work with your veterinarian for their best recommendations.

News Eternal Eternal Trailer Gives Us A Climate Change-Infused Sliding Doors Story A climate change scientist chooses his career over love… but gets a glimpse of the road not taken in Eternal’s first trailer.

The film comes from writer-director Ulaa Salim (Sons of Denmark) and stars Simon Sears (a.k.a. Ivan from Netflix’s Shadow and Bone) as well as Nanna Øland (a.k.a. the Danish pop star Oh Land). Here’s the movie’s synopsis: Young climate change scientist‚ Elias‚ falls in love with an aspiring singer‚ Anita. But when an opportunity arises for him to join a mission researching a dangerous climate change phenomenon—a mysterious fracture on the ocean floor—he chooses career over love. Years later‚ during his mission‚ he experiences a vision of what his life could have been like if he made a different choice and his new obsession becomes to get his old life and love back. Those of who you’ve seen 1998’s Sliding Doors will be familiar with movies exploring the premise of the road not taken in life. That part of the story seems self-explanatory to me‚ though I can’t help but wonder how climate change caused this Georgia O’Keefe-inspired crack in the ocean floor and‚ by extension‚ how it gave Elias a vision of a life that never was? I’m probably asking the wrong question here‚ but it’s still a question I want answered‚ gosh darn it! Eternal is set to premiere across theaters in Denmark this April. International sales are still in the works‚ so no news on when it will make its way to the U.S. [end-mark] The post <;i>;Eternal<;/i>; Trailer Gives Us A Climate Change-Infused <;i>;Sliding Doors<;/i>; Story appeared first on Reactor.
