 | This is a brand new newsletter format and I pray it will display correctly. If it doesn't, I'll be one of the first to know. If you are as concerned about your cats' health as I am, my new article on Cats' Blood Tests might help you wade through the meanings of those "values" your veterinarian looks at, while considering diagnosis and treatment. You'll likely see at least one or more new reviews next week, and a black cat or two for lovers of parlor panthers. While waiting, give your cat some big love, no matter what his or her color.

Cats' Blood Tests
Lately, I've had a number of blood tests done for Jaspurr, who has been diagnosed as hyperthyroid last month, and wondered why my vet hadn't seem concerned about some of the higher than normal results. I decided to investigate further, and share with my readers all I could learn about cats' blood tests.  Although I was familiar with some of the values in blood tests from past experience, I only knew that those which were either higher or lower than the reference range were of concern. But numbers like a high Amylase or Lipase value were beyond my ken. I hope the information I unearthed from experts such as Dr. Arnold Plotnick will help my readers.

I have no idea how Algebra got her name. However, she seems to have done her math and discovered the formula for wrapping Victoria around her sleek black paw. Although she is only three months old, Algebra has already unfolded a wealth of talents.
