Cat diseases - Rabies
Rabies is a fatal viral disease transmitted through bites from infected animals. Early symptoms include hiding, fear of stimuli, and nervousness. As the disease progresses, symptoms worsen and include convulsions, disorientation, excessive salivation, and aggressiveness. Once symptoms appear, rabies is nearly always fatal. Vaccination is the only effective prevention and should start in kittens at 3 months of age with annual boosters. Any exposure to an infected animal requires immediate medical treatment.
Elder Abuse
Approximately 450,000 elderly persons aged 60 and over experience abuse and neglect each year in the United States, though 80% go unreported. Elder abuse can take several forms, including physical, sexual, and psychological abuse, as well as financial exploitation and neglect. Those at highest risk tend to be females over 75 who are isolated, in poor health, and have low incomes. Physicians play an important role in identifying at-risk individuals, properly assessing and documenting suspected abuse cases, and coordinating with social services to prevent further harm and manage reported incidents of elder abuse.

Elder abuse is defined as a single or repeated act that causes harm or distress to an older person within a relationship where trust is expected. Common types of elder abuse include psychological, financial, physical, and neglect. Analyses found that adult children and spouses or partners are most often the abusers. Professionals and victims may discount abuse by believing it is not a problem or that nothing can be done. Institutional abuse involves the failure of an organization to provide an appropriate service for older adults. Signs of abuse include injuries, malnutrition, poor hygiene, and behavioral changes. Responding appropriately involves listening without judgment, documenting concerns, ensuring safety, and monitoring the situation.
Dehydration
Dehydration occurs when the body loses too much fluid through illness, sweating or exercise. Mild dehydration can cause dry mouth and dark urine, while moderate dehydration adds lightheadedness and muscle cramps. Severe dehydration requires emergency help and can cause fainting, inability to walk, and loss of consciousness. The elderly are more vulnerable as water metabolism declines with age. Dehydration disrupts electrolyte balance, with too much sodium or too little potassium potentially causing seizures, coma or abnormal heart rhythms. Drinking fluids is crucial to restore balance and prevent further health issues from dehydration.

It describes restraint devices like halters, twitches, and muzzles. For cattle, techniques include nose leads, ear twitches, milking hopples, tail restraint, and crush restraint. Calves can be restrained by pulling their legs outward. Sheep are restrained by circling the neck or grasping the rump. Goats accept neck collars and do not tolerate being set up like sheep. Horses require a halter and lead at minimum, and may also be restrained verbally, physically using twitches, or chemically. For dogs, muzzles
Dart Unit 07 Animal Care
The document provides guidelines for volunteers on caring for animals at an animal shelter. It outlines policies on access to animal areas, intake procedures, housing animals separately by species and health status, daily care routines like feeding, cleaning and monitoring animals, procedures for loose or aggressive animals, and operations if the shelter allows owners to care for their animals on site.
ICAWC 2012 Sarah Fisher Tellington Ttouch
TTouch is a method developed by Linda Tellington-Jones to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being in animals through gentle touch techniques. Applying TTouch to puppies from a young age can help reduce behavioral issues later on by building confidence and teaching them to enjoy contact. Hogarth, an abandoned puppy with mild health issues, showed fear of handling and tantrums initially but benefited from TTouch training by becoming better socialized and less stressed. TTouch helps rehabilitate puppies with problems and makes them easier to adopt out by improving their maturity and trainability.
Toilet training
This document provides guidance on toilet training a puppy. It emphasizes establishing a designated toilet area and routine, closely supervising the puppy, and using positive reinforcement when the puppy eliminates correctly. Crate training is also recommended to encourage the puppy to keep its sleeping area clean and alert owners when it needs to go out. With patience and consistency using these techniques, owners can fully house train their puppy.
Animal safety brochure
This document provides tips for teaching children how to safely approach dogs and interact with other animals. It discusses reading a dog's body language for signs of relaxation, stress, fear or aggression. The tips advise asking an owner's permission before petting their dog, allowing the dog to approach at its own pace, respecting signs the dog is not comfortable, and gently petting in an area the dog allows. Additional safety tips are included for interacting with cats and rodents.
Rethinking adoptable clair1
This document discusses rehabilitating animals considered "nonrehabilitable" and providing sanctuary for difficult animals. It explores whether any animal is truly nonrehabilitable and ways to help animals with major behavior issues through placement or other non-lethal options. It outlines the responsibilities of running a sanctuary, including providing for animals' physical, emotional and mental needs through stimulation and training. Sanctuaries are meant to be permanent homes where animals live out their natural lives, unlike shelters which seek to place animals.
Bottle baby 101: Building a Nursery
This document provides guidance for starting a bottle baby rescue program. It outlines key roles and volunteers needed, facilities and supplies, care basics for newborn kittens including feeding schedules and weight tracking, common medical issues, and strategies for recruiting and retaining volunteers. The overall message is that saving just a few litters of bottle babies can significantly improve shelter save rates, and with the right approach a small program can grow over time to rescue thousands of kittens.

Innate and instinctive behavior of dogs
Naila Mehdi's presentation topic is the innate, learned, and instinctive behaviors of dogs. Some of dogs' innate behaviors include suckling from their mother, chewing as their puppy teeth fall out, scent marking to avoid conflicts, and using their strong sense of smell to sniff. Instinctive dog behaviors include herding for shepherd dogs, digging for terriers, using their whole body to communicate, and retrieving for hunting dogs like Labradors. Learned behaviors in dogs include sitting when commanded, drooling when humans eat from Pavlov's experiments, being quiet when told, and learning cues like whining when their owner prepares to leave.

Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.
ii. Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis:
In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid

Visitors can admire the elegant flights of migratory species such as the Northern Pintail and Eurasian Wigeon, alongside resident birds including the Asian Openbill and Pheasant-tailed Jacana. With its tranquil scenery and varied habitats, Ahota Beel offers a perfect haven for birdwatchers to appreciate and study the vibrant birdlife that thrives in this natural refuge.
Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coasts
The shorelines of Titan’s hydrocarbon seas trace flooded erosional landforms such as river valleys; however, it isunclear whether coastal erosion has subsequently altered these shorelines. Spacecraft observations and theo-retical models suggest that wind may cause waves to form on Titan’s seas, potentially driving coastal erosion,but the observational evidence of waves is indirect, and the processes affecting shoreline evolution on Titanremain unknown. No widely accepted framework exists for using shoreline morphology to quantitatively dis-cern coastal erosion mechanisms, even on Earth, where the dominant mechanisms are known. We combinelandscape evolution models with measurements of shoreline shape on Earth to characterize how differentcoastal erosion mechanisms affect shoreline morphology. Applying this framework to Titan, we find that theshorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded bywaves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates atfetch lengths of tens of kilometers.

. The transient was identified in deep James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)/NIRCam imaging from the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) program. Photometric and spectroscopic followup with NIRCam and NIRSpec, respectively, confirm the redshift and yield UV-NIR light-curve, NIR color, and spectroscopic information all consistent with a Type Ia classification. Despite its classification as a likely SN Ia, SN 2023adsy is both fairly red (

Ca-rich population. Although such an object is too red for any low-

cosmological sample, we apply a fiducial standardization approach to SN 2023adsy and find that the SN 2023adsy luminosity distance measurement is in excellent agreement (

Λ
CDM. Therefore unlike low-

Ca-rich SNe Ia, SN 2023adsy is standardizable and gives no indication that SN Ia standardized luminosities change significantly with redshift. A larger sample of distant SNe Ia is required to determine if SN Ia population characteristics at high-

truly diverge from their low-

counterparts, and to confirm that standardized luminosities nevertheless remain constant with redshift.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selection
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

TOPIC OF DISCUSSION: CENTRIFUGATION SLIDESHARE.pptx
Centrifugation is a powerful technique used in laboratories to separate components of a heterogeneous mixture based on their density. This process utilizes centrifugal force to rapidly spin samples, causing denser particles to migrate outward more quickly than lighter ones. As a result, distinct layers form within the sample tube, allowing for easy isolation and purification of target substances.

Don’t Bite Me!
- 1. Don’t bite me! Safe Cat Handling October 7, 2011 Tania Huycke-Phillips, Foster & Facilities Coordinator
- 2. What were we doing before the cat bit or tried to bite? • Cleaning it’s cage • Carrying/holding it • Putting dogs or other cats near it • Putting it near other cats or dogs • Putting it in sight of other cats or dogs • Performing medical procedures • Trespassing/disturbing its territory
- 3. What was the cat doing before the cat bit or tried to bite? • Cowering in the back • Vocalizing (growling, hissing, yowling) • Stiff, tense body • Flicking tail tightly, or tail tucked tightly • Pupils dilated, bug-eyed, or direct stare • Ears back or to the side • Ill or in pain Adult animals can inhibit their bite. If they bit hard, they meant to.
- 4. Concerns for Confined Cats • Presence of other cats or dogs disturbing • Need somewhere to hide • Difference between feral and pet cats • Resources and position • Need for control and predictability • Need for outlet of natural behaviors • Aggression often fear orientated • Behavior in the cage may not reflect behavior in the home.
- 5. Furnishing the Cage – Stressed Cat • Before you open a cage, close doors! • Sanitize hands between (scent & health) • Somewhere to hide: litter box, bed, paper bag • Bedding & toys • Cover front with towel • Litter, food, water at front of cage • Canned food if not eating • Minimal disturbance – spot clean • Only remove items if soiled (scent comfort) • Difficult cat – play the claw game to pull items forward (Don’t reach in!)
- 6. Handling Cat in Cage • Prevent cat from seeing other cats • If reacting (growling, hissing), do not touch (redirected aggression) • Watch surroundings (someone bringing a cat or dog through, water spray) • Try to get cat to come to you (cat makes decision, start on positive note) • Lift with control, point away from other cats • If you must move a feral or aggressive cat, use a net • Uses carriers always when moving!
- 7. Removing cat from carrier • Allow cat to move out of its territory on its own • Assess body language and if ok, reach into carrier, scruff cat and remove • If cat is tense, remove top of carrier, scruff cat and remove, or place towel over cat’s head and body and remove animal • If aggressive, do not remove from carrier, put entire carrier in cage with door open
- 8. Restraint Precautions! • MINIMAL restraint! Use the least amount of restraint necessary to accomplish the task. Can adjust to more restraint as needed • Close all portals in the room (doors, drawers, cabinets) • Work in an area cleared of debris • Use pill poppers • READ CAT’S BODY LANGUAGE! • Ask for help!
- 9. Restraining the Head Scruffing: grabbing loose skin behind head and neck • Grab high for better control of head. • Support body when lifting – never lift cat by scruff alone!
- 10. Lateral Restraint 1. With one hand, scruff cat and brace the same arm against the cat’s spine 2. Grasp rear limbs in other hand and roll cat on side 3. Hold top rear limb and tail, while using edge of hand to put pressure on lower rear limb 4. Struggling cats - wrap with towel, muzzle, or ask for help! Ideal for: Blood draws for FeLV or Triple Tests
- 11. Restraint Equipment – Cat Muzzles • Size Matters! • Grasp scruff and one tab of muzzle with same hand • Bring muzzle up and around other side of face and secure on top behind ears tightly (velcro) • Make sure cat’s nostrils are exposed
- 12. Escape! Cat is calm: •Pick up safely with control and put cat in clean crate if cat consistently escapes •Don’t allow to wander: risk of spreading disease, may get stressed by other cats, or may cause stress to other cats Cat is stressed/fearful/aggressive/feral: •Keep room door closed. •Inform a supervisor always! •Only supervisors and specifically approved staff are allowed to capture escaped dangerous cats.
- 13. Special Handling Equipment You must be trained in how to use these items safely before using on own •Gauntlet gloves* • Towels* • Carrier • Squeeze net • Pole net *Cat can bite through!
- 14. Why? To avoid this:
