Huge apologies for the inadvertent attack of the giant toxic moth photo on those of you who received yesterday's weekly newsletter. Apparently we are no longer capable of including newsletter-sized images in our newsletters.

I am resending the newsletter so my readers can enjoy the content and click through to see the beautiful images within the articles.

The Rest of The Story:

We've had a series of disturbing encounters with critters like black widow spiders, centipedes, and wasps, this year. When I noticed our cats' predilection for catching and eating moths, I felt it was high time I learned more about those insects. The information I learned through research was enlightening, often surprising, and sometimes disturbing.

Our newsletter this week also covers kittens to geriatric cats, and how to help them live longer, happier lives, a goal we all have in common. Until next week, love them to pieces for they are with us such a short time.

Health Threats to Kittens

Kittens are particularly susceptible to infectious diseases such as panleukopenia (aka feline distemper), or Rhinotracheitis (Feline Herpes), which are potentially fatal unless protected by their mothers' immunity from vaccine or the kittens' immunization.
