Cats Can help Older Adults flourish

guest post by Ingrid R. Niesman, MS PhD 

A 101-year-old senior citizen adopts a 19-year old cat from the Catawba Humane society in Hickory, NC. Penny’s family describes this as a match made in heaven. After losing her cat and realizing a stuffed animal is not an alternative, the North Carolina woman has found her senior soul mate in Gus. Her story is a pointer of the significance of cats in all our lives, but particularly for the elderly.

A tragic result of the COVID-19 pandemic is an increasingly isolated elderly population. With our lengthened life expectancy, combined with high rates of divorce, widely dispersed families and spousal deaths, the current population of 60 and older adults living alone will continue expanding. This short article explores current scientific research on the value of cats as companions for enhancing the quality of life for older adults.

Cats may be a relationship substitute for socially isolated older adults

Research studies supporting pet ownership and mental health benefits for older adults are sadly lacking, especially for cats. Those of us who already experience the delight of feline companionship will likely continue to maintain these relationships as we age. The studies benefit older adults living alone or in elderly communal residences without companion cats.

To test the idea that any pet may buffer the detrimental effects of social isolation, a group at Florida state university has recently published data demonstrating that parenting companion animals, primarily cats and dogs, decreases the loneliness experienced by the elderly following loss of spouse or partner. The study was based on a large data set from the health and retirement Study. “We were interested in understanding if animals can be a pathway for promoting a thriving aging life,” discusses Dawn Carr, PhD, lead author on the study. “Our evidence suggests that cats can be a replacement for the social engagement lost when adults begin living alone.”

Older adults in general are at risk for lowered quality of life. We already know the human-pet bond is useful in offering enhanced physical and mental stability. Yet, one recent study from Germany surveyed an older population of adults without a partner and found that 82% did not own a pet. only 12% owned cats and even fewer owned dogs. Are we missing an essential therapeutic tool for mitigating the social isolation, depressive psychology and lack of physical activity that our elderly individuals experience?

A 2020 study from Australia, published in Aging and mental Health, addresses these issues directly. These authors used interviews to ascertain how owners believed their animals gave them a sense of purpose, meaningful daily lives and resiliency. In all categories surveyed, animals offered positive mental health outcomes. This association was so strong that, when questioned if other older adults ought to become pet parents, they unanimously agreed.

Creating cat friendly Public Policy

Caring for a cat is an investment. Veterinary care and cat food can be costly. Litter boxes need changing. Making arrangements for permanent care after death is a looming concern. A Meals-on-Wheels type program could increase cat accessibility for homebound seniors. “These programs are a terrific tool to address social isolation,” suggests Dawn Carr. The food delivered is helpful, but the daily contact with the chauffeur is the true benefit. A similar program could bring a cat to your doorstep for daily snuggles, or offer food, clean bowls and disposable litter boxes for in home cats, easing the concern for the elderly caregiver.

Let’s all give a hand to penny and Gus. They may be the true trailblazers for our future.

5 Of Our training goals For the autumn

5 Of Our training goals For the Fall

Last updated on September 8, 2015 By Puppy Leaks 8 comments

Our autumn training Goals
Here’s the training goals I’d like to work on next, as well as because it’s in composing I’ll be staying with them. We’ll see exactly how it goes, as well as inspect our development in one more couple months.

Outdoor Stay
Laika can stay inside your home just fine, however outside? That’s one more story. Some phone call it selective hearing, I just understand that she doesn’t listen out there. It’s all just “squirrel!” as well as play time to her. I’ve worked so much on her recall that I’ve ignored stay out there. I’d like to relocation much more of our nose work outside as well as getting a good stay out in the lawn will be the very first step.

Goal: I want Laika to “stay” while I hide stuff in the lawn for her to find.

Car Manners
Laika has okay vehicle manners for the most part, however driving by other dogs can still set her off. From what I can tell it seems to be out of frustration, as well as perhaps a bit of stress. I’ll be working on it some more, besides being a genuine hazard it’s rather embarrassing when everybody stops to see what the heck all that barking is about as you drive by.

Goal: We’re going to put an end to Laika’s drive by barkings.

More Desensitization With the Dremel
I like utilizing a dremel over nail clippers, however Laika’s still not totally convinced. She will tolerate it, however she’s still far from comfortable. With numerous carrots as well as sugar snap peas in hand I’ll be working on getting her much more unwinded around it.

Goal: have Laika stay calm as I utilize the dremel on full speed.

Remember to Praise “Normal” Behaviors
I miss a great deal of chances to tell Laika she’s doing a great task when she’s quite much doing as expected. When she calmly watches deer with the window, or when she calmly settles down at my feet I’ll keep in mind to tell her she’s being good. I’m trying to remind myself not to take these behaviors for granted, they’re still deserving of a “good job.”

Goal: keep in mind to say thanks to Laika for being a great woman much more often.

Train Myself to Take much better indoor Photos
I look at my video camera as well as want to scream. I don’t understand what half the damn buttons do, however it’s about time I figure it out. I see everybody taking incredible pictures inside as well as I’m a bit jealous – all mine look like they’re from the late 1970’s. (with radiant eyes as well as all)

Goal: checked out the handbook as well as discover to take remove pictures indoors.

Reminder to self: tell Laika she’s great when she’s good, even if I didn’t request the behavior.

Pain management for arthritic cat

Dr. Bahr,

I really appreciate the time and proficiency you give us kitty parents in answering our questions and concerns!

My Maggie is a 12-year-old long hair cat with arthritis. I’ve been giving her worksSOwell 1-TetraDecanol complex (which I saw recommended on this site) and that seems to have been helping, but of course her arthritis is getting worse. I took her to her vet a couple days ago, and the vet gave me Onsior for the pain. It worked but I believe it’s just supposed to be given just for a short period of time, and it’s pricey anyway. Do you know of anything else I can give her or do for her to help ease her pain?

She also had a mammary tumor removed a few weeks ago. The vet said she didn’t take it all out, and now it’s getting larger again. I really, really hate to put Maggie through that surgery again, especially at her age. but I guess that’s a decision that only I can make. In the meantime, if I can do something to ease her arthritis pain, that would be a definite bonus.

Thank you so much, Doctor! – – Alice Kemp

Hi Alice,

Maggie is lucky to have a guardian, like you, who is aware of her arthritic condition and I am happy to hear that you are looking for ways to help alleviate her pain.

There is no one “magic bullet” for pain control and it typically takes a multi-modal approach to keeping arthritic pain managed. If Maggie is carrying extra weight, then a carefully controlled weight loss program will help her immensely and should be the first place to start. In addition to the Onsior and supplement you are giving her, it might be helpful to investigate cold laser treatments and/or acupuncture, CBC, and the Assisi loop for additional relief.

Take an assessment of your home environment to see if there are ways in which you can help her navigate her surroundings easier. This would include adding ramps to the bed, couch, and favorite sleeping places to eliminate the need for her to jump up or down from these places. low sided litter boxes help too. since warmth is often helpful with alleviating arthritic pain, you may also consider placing pet warming blankets out for her to lay on.

I hope you find some of these suggestions helpful.  let me know which ones work for Maggie.

Black spot above nose

Hi Dr. Bahr,
My male ginger is 5 yrs old. He got a black flat spot right above his nose a few weeks ago. it looked like an ink smudge spot. then it got darker and then disappeared completely. The black spot came back again like a week later, then disappeared again, very strange. could it be the salmon food he’s eating? Idk, it seemed like that’s when it appears. very strange. thank you. – Terri

Hi Terri,

Thank you so much for taking time to write in about your kitty’s nose. Unfortunately, you did not provide enough information for me to really give you any good advice. but the fact that it goes away on its own is a good sign and I would not be too concerned about it unless it continues to recur. If it does show back up again, take pictures, keep a good log as to when it appeared and disappeared, and get your boy checked out by a veterinarian.

It is strange indeed and if you find out what is going on, please let me know.

Sudden trouble breathing

Hi Dr. Bahr,

I have a question.

This year our cat ‘Dee’ passed away. it all happened rather quickly, with her suddenly having trouble breathing (the dyspnea type), but no other symptoms (such as congestion). The emergency pet hospital vets found out that her problems were being caused by air getting next to her lungs. (Aftnullnull

Introducing Oriental Freestyle to Your clients

By Michell Evans
August 31, 2019
“Hi Michell, I have been trying to master the art of Oriental Freestyle grooming. I have a few clients that truly like the style however their dogs are not always great candidates. I likewise have clients whose dogs are perfect for the style however the owners don’t like the idea.

Any advice on exactly how to perfect the style as well as getting clients to try it? Thanks, Linda”

Hi Linda. Oriental freestyle grooming is great deals of fun. I like it since it difficulties me to groom outside the box. showing clients photos of dogs in Oriental freestyle trims that look similar to their dog is a excellent method to offer it. The Web has a riches of pictures to look trough with your clients. think about keeping a binder or a tablet with pictures to show your clients when discussing styles. You can include many styles, not just Oriental freestyle. think about asking your preferred Oriental freestyle artists on Facebook as well as Instagram if you may utilize their pictures to show your clients. 

Often clients don’t like the style since the body is as well short as well as the legs are as well long. These things can quickly be changed into what many phone call a puppy cut, teddy bear trim or even a shave–off. You may likewise requirement to make decisions for the body as well as leg coat because of the dog’s structure. If the dog is not a natural beauty, you can change the style to make the dog look fitter, younger as well as healthier. 

Overweight dogs, dogs with great deals of lumps as well as bumps, thin coat as well as skin problems are examples of dogs who may benefit from an modified style. keep in mind that the style commonly integrates clothing. You may suggest—in the situation of a extremely regrettable looking dog—that they keep a sweatshirt on it.

The head is the most unique part of many Oriental freestyle trims. owners tend to like these trims since they are extremely animated, puppy–like as well as short around the mouth as well as eyes.

When executing the trim, keep these nine typical features of the Oriental Freestyle head in mind: 

The muzzle is groomed to appear separate from the skull.
The width of the muzzle is groomed to appear wider than the outside corner of the eye. 
The top of the nose is not shaved however trimmed to produce the shape of the muzzle. 
The chin coat is trimmed extremely short.
Any coat sticking out past the tip of the nose is trimmed short.
The eyes are totally open. No bangs or bubbles.
The ears are accentuated as well as exaggerated in some way.
Cheeks are most commonly trimmed short. 
Color accents, bows as well as yarn are commonly utilized to accentuate facial features.

Remember that the longer coat on the legs that is a typical characteristic of the style will requirement more regular grooming. This is a great source of revenue for the salon. likewise keep in mind that these are specialty trims; it takes much skill to research study as well as properly execute these styles so be sure to fee accordingly.

Happy Grooming!—Michell  ✂️

We all arrived at fashion Island around 10am and split up into two teams.  Each team was given a set of clues and had to resolve each clue by going to different stores in the mall, having dogs carry out basic obedience and socialization, and maneuvering through different areas of the mall (walking up and down stairs, riding the elevator, and going to the koi pond).

Guide canine Puppy training Starring DUBLIN With Linus Aussie Shepherd Rescue also Colby The Human and Stetson profession changed guide Dog
As I discussed we had a Scavenger hunt at fashion Island in Newport Beach. We had 10 guide canine puppies in training at the event and we split up into two teams. Each team received a set of clues and had to resolve problems, carry out tasks, and visit stores throughout the mall.
We were in charge of making the clues so our good friend Anne took Dublin through the Scavenger hunt while we played scorekeeper.
We did our best to ask each handler and their puppy to carry out basic obedience and manuever through every day obstacles like walking up the stairs on a loose leash.

We also incorporated a “get busy” area with one of the clues
We were also lucky to have Dublin’s sister Denali join us!
Fashion Island has a great koi pond and some of the pups really wanted to swim with the fish.
All the pups had a chance to ride the elevator and also sit quietly at the bookstore.
There’s Dublin and Anne trying to figure out the next clue. and as you can see Anne is using the H204K9 water bottle and NEOSLING.
The fountains were pretty noisy and in this clip the pups had to lay in a down stay while their puppy raisers snapped a pic.
We were continuously on the relocation because the team to finish first got perk points.
Here come Dublin and Baron. I think Dublin recognizes me he really wants to say hello.
And here’s team kelly over at Macys getting much more practice on the elevator.

And getting another down stay in front of the bed at Macy’s.
Muttropolis had an lovable Kissing booth and Kelly posed for a picture the puppies also did their best statue pose outside next to the lab Statue…can you tell which pup isn’t real?
Here’s another pose with a smaller dalmation statue.
And this is a great shot of team Yellow canine in front of a vending cart. Can you spot Dublin in the pack?
There was a lot going on throughout the day as you saw in all the video clips. We finally had a chance to get lunch and the pups were all exhausted and unwinded under the table. team Kelly beat out team yellow canine by a hair…We got one final shot with Dublin in front of the big fountain and headed home.
Hey Guys!  thanks for joining us for this episode of Puppy In training TV.  Dublin had a great time today at the Scavenger Hunt.  He got to hand out with his sister Denali and he also got to work with a different puppy raiser today.  once again, thanks for joining us and we’ll see you next time.

Final thoughts on the OCGDA Scavenger hunt 2011
We were observers today and not so much working with Dublin and his training.  Our good friend Anne had the opportunity to work with Dublin and it’s good for him to get used to training with a different puppy raiser.
We also delighted in seeing Dublin’s sister Denali who is doing very well in her puppy training.
Overall we discovered many of the dogs doing great job as we viewed all the puppy raisers work with their puppies to walk politely up the stairs, stay calm in the elevator, work on self control, lay quietly under the table during lunch, carry out sit-stays and down-staynull

The screens are lovely but,everything I have ever checked out about cats as well as litter boxes has instructed to make sure boxes are found in a method that provides a feline full view of anything potentially coming toward their box.Using that screen, avoids say, a feline seeing one more feline coming to scare/intimidate. I honestly believe cats do not want litter boxes hidden away, people do.
