It's the last week of Black Cat Awareness Month! Though this campaign should be practiced year-round, it was spearheaded in response to the difficulties cats with black fur experience due to their association with bad luck or evil—especially during the holidays. To celebrate these majestic felines and the last full week of October, we are delivering a robust mix of engaging content and news right to your fingertips.
Here's a quick look at this week's headlines:
- Shawn P. Messonnier, DVM, explains the platinum versus basic approach when treating heart murmurs in companion animals.
