Cats & Lasers�Why They Go So Well Together by Dr. Jon Many cats prefer toys that mimic the sounds, textures or movements of prey. Many cat toys on the market are designed to move, vibrate, twitter, squeak or swing. These features simulate "prey" actions, encouraging a cat to react and play. Some cats enjoy natural substrates such as leather, fur or feathers; however, some cats pre-fer fabric or substrates that crinkle, like plastic or foil. Some kitties like cat toys with no sound whatso-ever, while others enjoy toys that squeak, twit-ter, chip or crackle. Many cats love to chase toys that move quickly, like very small balls that quickly move across a

surface, pieces of kibble that slide across the floor, or a laser light moving across a wall or floor. This is the appeal of the la-ser.

Having a variety of different toys is a good idea because the variety will help keep your cat stimulated. I recently tested a cat toy called the BOLT and loved it. It is a uniquely designed laser toy that really gets cats going. You can set this toy to "automatic" mode to generate a fun-filled play session for your cat while you are multi-tasking! The toy shuts itself off automatically af-ter 15 minutes. You can also put the BOLT laser toy in manual mode and control the motion your-self. Either way, it drives cats crazy.

What is it About Laser

Toys That Cats Like?

Cat Scratches Cat-scratch Disease (CSD), is an infection in humans that most often occurs after pro-longed contact with a young cat. When diag-nosed in cats this disease is called feline bartonellosis. It is caused by a bacteria called Bartonella henselae. All ages, breeds, and sexes of cat are sus-ceptible; however, kittens under one year of age, kittens or cats infested with fleas, and feral cats or former strays are more likely to have the bacteria in their bloodstream. Fleas are believed to play a major role in cat-to-cat and possibly cat-to-human transmission. Cats can be infected with the organism for months, or even years, and never show any clinical signs. There is no home care for bartonellosis. Pre-ventive care is based on maintaining good hygiene. Wash your hands after handling pets and wash scratches or bites thoroughly. Never let a cat lick an open wound, and maintain meticulous flea control.

Please send the most recent registration you have; it will ultimately save time for you! Needing to submit an update: Boulter, Brown, Cunningham, DeGuzman, Dillingham, Fleming, Fuller, Hammond, Hansberger, Hicks, Hintz, Horton, Komar, Kominos, Matzkin, McInchak, McKee, Multer, Nagy, Niner, Null, Scarboro, Sherer, Shipp, Spayde, Storten, Sullwold, Tomlin, Weitz, Williams, Winsky; Shindler; Berneur, Bishop, Golfarelli, Kneifel, Olsson, Schoneis, Vandebuerie Prompt response will be greatly appreciated!

Seasons Greetings Everyone, The closing of another year with the beginning of a new one on the horizon. As you can see from this is-sue the Maine Coons continue to have much success in the showhalls. I'd like to thank all the individuals who helped contributed with all the beautiful photos to honor these cats. Unfortunately this is the next to last issue provided by our editor, Liz Hansen. Liz has done a fabulous job getting articles, laying out and getting the issues out in a timely manner. This is a big job for one person and I, along with the membership greatly appreciate the time she has provided fr us with this informative magazine. Starting with 2010 issues, the Scratch Sheet will be co-edited by Holly Reilly and Kit Mounger. Lets welcome them and keep them busy with articles and photos for upcoming year. Its that time again. Upcoming elections. If you are interested in any office, please contact our secretary, Laura Heinick by February 15th to declare. Elections will be held in May 2010. In closing, the holidays are busy times for all of us. Remember to keep your house safe for our ani-mals. Anchoring trees, so they don't pull them over. Covering the water tray of the tree to prevent the cats from drinking water that could have harmful bacteria, pesticides, etc., from the tree. Keeping yarns, tinsels, ribbons out of reach. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! Donna
