The Catmobile - a new type of veterinary care

The Catmobile - a new type of veterinary care
The UK’s fi rst fully mobile, exclusively feline veterinary operating theatre was launched in May, bringing critical care to cats in the South of England

the Cat Doctor, aka Amy Bergs DVM MRCVS, is the founder of Surrey and South West London’s premier feline-only mobile veterinary practice. “Four years ago, the dream of running a fully mobile and truly feline-friendly veterinary practice came to life when we launched The Cat Doctor. Now I’m delighted to unveil a unique development for our practice in the form of the Catmobile. We started with an empty shell and by working with some of the best people in the business, we have created a state of the art operating theatre on wheels. This will enable us to carry out the highest quality surgical procedures on your pets, just outside your front door, in addition to the routine veterinary care that we have always provided in your home.

Launched on 21st May this year, Amy said: “Over 100 of our clients came out to see it! It was a fabulous sunny day as well, couldn’t have asked for a better event. One client even baked a cake to mark the occasion!”

The Catmobile has two operating theatres equipped with the latest technology and monitoring equipment, as well as heating, electricity, air conditioning, anaesthetic and dental equipment. Generally, what you would expect to fi nd in a conventional veterinary practice, you will fi nd installed in the Vauxhall Movano-based Catmobile. 

Everything has been designed specifi cally with cats in mind and has been awarded Cat Friendly Clinic status from International Cat Care, along with accreditation under the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons’ Practice Standards Scheme – a fi rst for any fully mobile practice.

Amy and her veterinary nurse, Shreen Haywood RVN, are putting cats fi rst, avoiding the need for a stressful visit to the veterinary surgery, despite them both suffering from the stress of travel sickness and Amy herself is actually allergic to cats. Yet they put these challenges aside, decide who will drive each day and pull up outside their patient’s house

 “We perform the surgery right there, completely eliminating the need for a stressful car journey to the clinic. Thanks to the Catmobile, we can now perform any general surgical procedure at home - neutering, biopsies and abdominal surgery as well as dental scale and polish, with surgical tooth extractions if required.”

Patients are ensured individually tailored monitoring throughout their anaesthetic and recovery and only one or two operations are carried out each day. As soon as the patients are awake and can be moved, they are allowed back into their own home to continue their recovery in comfortable and familiar surroundings. “This really keeps stress levels to a minimum and thus aids their recovery.”

Cats are only treated inside The Catmobile if surgery is required. All other procedures and tests are carried out within the patient’s home. Amy said: “We’ll do it there because that’s best for the cat, even if it’s harder for us - I can’t count the number of times I’ve taken a blood sample while lying on the fl oor!”

Virginia Grose is one of The Cat Doctor’s clients and has used many of their services. ”I was so pleased to fi nd The Cat Doctor last year when I was seeking the very best of care for my elderly cat Lily. In the last year of her life, Amy and her team provided amazing treatment and support. When she passed away in February it was in the comfort and familiarity of her own home with me by her side. Happily I have added two new young cats to my household now and The Cat Doctor swung into action again for their initial check up and of course spaying and microchipping them in the mobile surgery. The girls had a stress-free two minute journey to the surgery and were treated and operated on outside my house! 

“The ‘Catmobile’ is quite simply the most amazing service and I would never want to use any other kind of veterinary treatment other than ‘at home’ - my two girls were bouncing around literally hours after their surgery.”

Established in 2013, The Cat Doctor now provides a full range of veterinary services for more than 400 cats in the area covered.

The 10 Richest Pets of All Time...why !!

When notorious "Queen of Mean" Leona Helmsley died in 2008, many people were shocked that one provision of her will allocated $12 million for the care of her dog, a Maltese Terrier named Trouble. Yet as one psychoanalyst explained to the New York Times, it's not all that unusual for humans to show a distinct preference for animals over their fellow humans. "Humans tend to be very disappointing—notice our divorce rate," said Joel Gavriele-Gold, the analyst and also the author of a book entitled When Pets Come Between Our Partners. "Dogs are not hurtful and humans are. People are inconsistent and dogs are fairly consistent."

Based on the lavish lifestyles provided to Trouble and other dogs—as well as cats, monkeys, and even pet chickens—Helmsley apparently wasn't the only one to feel that animals are more deserving of pampering and special care than people. Here's a top 10 list of animals with fortunes that most mere humans can only dream of.

1.Gunther IV

When Countess Karlotta Libenstein of Germany died in 1991, she left her entire $80 million fortune to her pet, a German shepherd named Gunther III. Trustees of the estate have done well with investments, turning the inheritance into roughly $375 million, which now belongs to the next in line, Gunther IV. The pampered, jet-setting dog owns villas in Italy and the Bahamas, and in 2000 purchased Madonna's Miami Beach mansion for $7.5 million.

2.Grumpy Cat

The Internet's favorite kitty—circa 2014 anyway—had to be Grumpy Cat, the pet whose seemingly ever-depressed frown helped it net a personal coffee brand, a Christmas movie, and nearly 1 million followers on Instagram. Grumpy Cat's worth has been estimated at $1 million and even $100 million. Her owner says the latter is an exaggeration, but it's not clear by how much.

3.Toby Rimes

Toby, a poodle owned by Ella Wendel, the last remaining sister of a New York family that amassed phenomenal wealth in the Gilded Age, slept in a miniature four-poster bed in his home on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue and dined nightly at a brass table with a velvet tablecloth and napkins. Though some 2,300 people claimed to be heirs to Wendel and her real estate holdings, worth $40 million when she died in 1931, none came away with the money. Most accounts say that her fortune was passed along to the poodle, though Toby only outlived his owner by a few months, according to a report by New Jersey's Drew University—which was one of a handful of charitable institutions that eventually wound up splitting the estate.

4.Blackie

According to Guinness World Records, the world's wealthiest cat ever was Blackie, who inherited an estate worth $13 million when his owner, a British antiques dealer named Ben Rea, died in 1988. Granted, Internet sensation Grumpy Cat may be worth far more than that if you believe some of the estimates that have been passed around.

5.Tommaso

Yet another ultra-rich cat, Tommaso was a stray found in Rome and taken in by an elderly Italian woman named Maria Assunta. She reportedly left a $13 million fortune to the rags-to-riches cat when she died in 2011. "I promised her that I would look after the cat when she was no longer around," explained Assunta's former nurse, who said she had no idea how rich the woman was and wound up being asked to care for Tommaso after Assunta passed away. "She wanted to be sure that Tommaso would be loved and cuddled." Money like that can buy a lot of cuddling, that's for sure.

6.Trouble

"Rich Bitch" has to be one of the all-time great headlines. Remarkably, the headline, for a story about how controversial "Queen of Mean" real estate developer Leona Helmsley left $12 million in her will to her fluffy white Maltese Terrier with the appropriate name Trouble, was published by The New Yorker rather than the New York Post like readers might expect. The tale about how the money was bequeathed to Trouble by Helmsley was a huge media sensation when she died in 2007. In fact, a judge later trimmed the inheritance down to $2 million. According to a 2011 obituary of sorts for Trouble in the New York Times, it was reported that the spoiled dog was known to be a biter, and spent her final years relaxing in luxury in Sarasota, Fla.

7.Conchita

The Chihuahua known as Conchita was described as the "most pampered dog in the world" even before her owner, Miami socialite Gail Posner, passed away in 2010 and left her a fortune that included a $3 million trust fund and a $8.3 million mansion on Miami Beach. Conchita, also known simply as "The Boss" to intimates, wore pearls, designer bikinis, Cartier necklaces, and Louis Vuitton bags. She also was a regular at Miami nightclubs and slept in a custom-made pink racing car bed.

8.Gigoo

The only chicken to make the top 10 richest pets list, Gigoo was owned by British publishing giant Miles Blackwell, who sold his interest in the family business and retired to the country late in life to raise rare sheep and hens. When Blackwell died in 2001, he gave much of his fortune to charity and reportedly left some £10 million ($15 million in U.S. currency today) to his apparently beloved hen Gigoo.

9.Chunmun

For a while, the world's richest monkey was Kalu, a Congolese chimp who was once worth £40 million. But its owner, eccentric aristocrat Patricia O’Neill, lost her fortune before Kalu could inherit it. Today, the world's most spoiled monkey could very well be Chunmun, a long-tailed macaque monkey purchased in 2005 for the equivalent of $8 by an Indian couple who were ostracized from their families because of their interfaith (Muslim-Hindu) marriage. The couple says their business took off after adopting Chunmun, and they've thanked the monkey by raising him like a son, with home-cooked meals and much pampering. They even arranged an elaborate "wedding" for Chunmun in 2010, and in the couple's will the monkey is the sole heir to their home and business.

10.Choupette

If you believe what fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld told New York magazine earlier this year, then his pet, Choupette, is "the most famous cat in the world, and the richest." According to Lagerfeld, Choupette "hates other animals and she hates children. She stays always with me and she has two personal maids." She also reportedly earned $3.3 million last year, thanks solely to two modeling gigs—one "for cars in Germany and the other was for a Japanese beauty product." What makes Choupette so special, and worth that kind of money? "She is the center of the world," Lagerfeld explained. "If you saw her, you would understand. She is kind of Greta Garbo."

10 Cats That Learned The Hard Way NOT To Play With Bees

Bees are an important part of nature. Their pollen-spreading habits keep many parts of our lives in balance (even when we don't realize it). Unfortunately, there are many kinds of bees (and their buzzy insect cousins) that can also make us a little uncomfortable with their defensive stings...
...and these cats discovered that a little too late.

1. If you pretend it didn't happen...then it didn't ?

2. Something about this cat getting stung...makes me hypnotized by his eyes!

3. But, you look so wise!

4. Huxley may have eaten a bee. Maybe...

5. Don't worry, nobody will notice...

6. It looks like someone could be Rudolph this year.

7. Lesson learned. Don't eat bees!

8. This is why you shouldn't high-five a bee...

9. Cat eats a wasp, and looks like Jay Leno?

The vet is in Flea- and Tick-Borne Diseases in Cats

There are few creatures on earth that have had as much impact on world history as the lowly flea. From the Black Death during the 14th century to the present, fleas have been the cause of much torment. Not only do they make your cat itch, they also can cause significant health problems.

To understand the flea, it’s helpful to know its life cycle. Contrary to popular belief, fleas don’t jump from one cat to another. Once a flea jumps on a cat, it stays there for its entire life. The rest of the life cycle, however, is spent off the cat.

When a female flea jumps on a cat, it bites the skin and begins feeding immediately. Ingestion of blood is required for the flea to reproduce. Within 24 hours, the flea begins laying about 50 eggs per day. As the cat meanders, he acts like a living saltshaker, scattering flea eggs throughout the house, mainly in the areas where he sleeps or rests. Within a week, larvae hatch from the eggs. The larvae burrow into carpets and cracks in hardwood floor to avoid light. Five to 12 days later, the larvae spin a cocoon in which they develop into pupae. Baby fleas emerge from the pupae within one to three weeks. These newly hatched fleas wait for a cat to stroll by, and they hop on. The life cycle begins anew.

It’s a myth that cats who spend their entire lives indoors are safe from fleas. Fleas are opportunistic hitchhikers — they jump onto our clothing, and we bring them back home where they hop onto our cats and start their life cycle.

Should cats be free to roam or kept at home?

A vet’s perspective on whether a cat should be free to roam or kept indoors only

    i am a great believer in trying to prevent a problem from arising before it has happened. As a vet, preventive medicine is a wide field, encompassing such diverse topics as nutrition, vaccination and neutering. There is also, however, an important aspect for the cat-owner to consider: should my cat have free access to the outside world or should I confine him (or her) to a life indoors?

Dangers of the outside world

    Last Saturday, the veterinary nurse working with me remarked that she had four cats in for the weekend recovering from injuries sustained from being hit by a car. During the course of the morning, I treated three cats for cat bite abscesses and another cat was admitted with serious injuries after an RTA (road traffic accident).
    These are just two reasons for confining a cat. If your cat is not out and about, then there is no chance of him/her being hit by a car or being involved in a cat fight. There is, as ever, more to it than that!

Cat fights

RTA: Yes, RTA and catfights are often concurrent, it not being uncommon to find wounds from a cat fight on a cat which has been involved in an RTA.
    Imagine the scenario: two cats fighting in a deserted road when a car comes along. Alternatively, cats fighting near a road, one dashes for safety across a road just as a car comes along.
    It may be that a car driving along a road disturbs a catfight, causing one or both to shoot across the road, into the path of traffic.
Infection: Mixing and fighting with other cats of unknown health status can potentially expose your cat to infection with many disease agents, for example:

● Viruses and other infectious causes of upper respiratory disease
● FeLV (Feline Leukaemia Virus)
● FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus)
● Ringworm

Ectoparasites: Although the house is now recognised as being a source of fleas, cats will obviously acquire fleas from other animals encountered outside. Ticks may also be picked up from hedgehogs, for example, as may ringworm.
Cat bite abscesses: Classically, bite wounds heal over at the surface and may even have been inapparent to the owner.
    Over the next few days, however, an abscess may form by virtue of infection injected deep under the skin by the assailant’s teeth; the affected cat often becomes unwell, going off his/ her food, seeking out a quiet place and sleeping more, usually reflecting a fever. Swelling and heat of the affected area may become noticeable as the abscess develops.
    If taken to a veterinary surgeon at this stage, we often find that the fur can be readily plucked from the area of swelling to reveal scabbed puncture wounds; if the scabs are picked off, there is usually the welcome sight of pus, confirming a cat bite abscess rather than anything more sinister.
Left to follow a natural course, the abscess ultimately bursts, discharging a volume of smelly pus via a hole in the skin which may be of quite a considerable size.

Treatment consists of:
● expressing as much pus as possible
● flushing out the resultant cavity under the skin
● bathing with salty water (one teaspoonful of salt in one pint or half a litre of warm water) twice daily, if tolerated
● a course of appropriate antibiotic.

Diet 
    Although cats are natural hunters, they will also avail themselves of other food found whilst out and about. This may pose a threat to their health:
Weight-gain: 
● we all know of the cats who are fed at several houses! Dietary intolerances:
● lactose-intolerant cat drinking (thieving!) another cat’s milk will develop diarrhoea, of unknown origin to the owner;
● exclusion diet for investigation of skin or digestive disorder will seem to be ineffective if cat is eating other food elsewhere!
● dietary indiscretion
● adverse effects from over-eating and/ or sudden change to diet;
● adverse effects of access to ‘forbidden foods’ for cats on prescription diets;
● inadvertent ingestion of another cat’s medication mixed with food?

Should a cat be confined? 
    In general, one looks on the cat as being a free agent, with access to the outside world, unlike the dog which is required to be kept within the boundaries of its home, with supervision and control when away from home. Cats kept for breeding are confined for various reasons (disease control and restriction of mating, for example) but the house-cat is what I am really considering here.
     The house-cat may or may not be pedigree, a decision to either totally preclude access to outside or to only allow limited access - under close supervision or in a suitable pen - having been made by the owner. This decision may have been made in order to avoid the dangers outlined above but there are also advantages to being a house-cat:

● close human contact
● no need to vaccinate against FeLV (link with injection site fibrosarcoma under investigation)
● avoidance of contamination of outside environment with feline urine and faeces; strict control of diet
● wildlife not endangered – more birds in the garden, for example

Toxoplasmosis 
    This is a zoonosis, meaning that it can transfer from cat to human with potential health risks. Handling of cat faeces, be they in the litter tray or hidden in the garden, is the major source of exposure, and is therefore a problem with both roaming and confined cats.

Conclusion 

     I am well aware that the issue of whether or not a cat should be con- fined is contentious. The very idea of preventing a cat from enjoying all that the outside environment has to offer, and the ability to do all that comes natural to cats, may be considered cruel in some people’s eyes. I have merely tried to show some examples of the advantages and disadvantages for both lifestyles.
     Myself, I was brought up in the country but living on a sharp bend of a busy road, and we always had at least four cats, often with a litter of kittens sired by one of our own cats or the local stray - if he had not already moved in with us! Our cats had full and free access to the great outdoors, via an ever-open cat-flap in the back door. They had their own sleeping places in the conservatory or one of the sheds, daytime and/or night-time.
    My childhood memories are dominated by fruitless searches for missing cats – foxes were blamed but I wonder what role cars had to play. Certainly, my last cat took us by surprise because we had always thought he never left the garden, until he appeared limping one day, having been hit by a car.
If they had been house-cats, they would not have ventured onto the road or encountered foxes and other cats. Nor would they have hunted and caught mice, rats, squirrels, rabbits, guinea-fowl, doves…
They would also have not enjoyed the rich diversity which the countryside has to offer. They may, however, have lived longer.

Has cat ʻstuffʼ taken ofer your home?

cat ʻstuffʼ 

I was recently amazed to find how many items in my home feature cats: here is a tongue in cheek look at receiving cat-themed gifts

Have you ever looked around your living room or bedroom and counted the number of catrelated items there? I’m not talking scratch posts or litter trays - more, cat-embellished photo frames, mugs or cushions.

 Since when did being a cat lover invite friends and family to assume that you wish everything you own to have a cat on it? Of course I’m exaggerating slightly but it seems that every time my birthday or Christmas comes around, I am inundated with gifts that are either cat-shaped (door stop, ornaments, key ring) or have a picture of cats on them (cushion, tote bag, coasters, photo frame…and many more!). I didn’t ask for this theme for my gifts…they just keep appearing.

 Don’t get me wrong - I’m very grateful for my gifts and on the whole they are very tasteful and I like them a lot. It just fascinates me how many different cat-themed items I seem to be accumulating. For instance, after this Christmas I now own a very comfy cushion that has the most gorgeous, close up photo of a cat’s eyes on it; a set of coasters bearing rather amusing pictures of cartoon cats and a couple of plush velour tabbies plus one tartan kitty that are the best behaved cats I have ever owned. They don’t pester me for food but are happy to be cuddled and stroked all the same. Wonderful.

When I go out I pass a cat-shaped plant pot by my porch, usually filled with cat grass or other greenery. I take cats for a walk by wearing one of three pairs of cat earrings, a silver cat brooch on my coat lapel and carry a black shopping bag with ‘cats rule’ emblazoned across each side. As I step into my hallway a sign urges visitors to ‘love me, love my cat’…most do but I can’t be certain the cat will reciprocate.

 If you can draw or paint cats then I’m sure you must be one of the many designers featured on the cat-themed birthday cards that land on my doormat each year. Glittery cats, cats in hats, cats with big Cheshire-cat-like grins, cats in wellington boots, cats asleep, cats looking through a window…you name it, I’m sure I’ve had that card at one time or another. They do brighten the place up though and prevent the need to dust the window sill for a few days!

My real cat, Smudge, doesn’t seem to mind these imposters too much and to be honest, I actually look forward to seeing what will be added to my collection next. Smudge will usually take a quick glance and, if he approves, a sniff or two but he knows he’s always going to occupy the number one spot in my ‘cat stuff’ as far as I’m concerned.
