Vaccine Sarcoma

Regular vaccinations for your cat are important to his health, but in rare cases they can be a problem. Veterinarians across the U.S. are seeing a slight increase in the number of cancerous tumors, called sarcomas, in places where cats recently had vaccinations. Sarcomas are uncommon-four or fewer per 10,000 vaccinations-but serious and very difficult to manage successfully. To reduce your cat's risk of developing a sarcoma, talk to your veterinarian about ways to lessen the number of shots your cat requires. Carefully examine the cat's environment, including his potential exposure to infectious agents. If there's little risk, certain vaccinations may not be necessary. For more information, consult your veterinarian.

A Second Scenting System



Cats have a scenting system that is independent of their noses. This system is at work when a cat curls back its upper lip and exposes its teeth, a look sometimes described as a sneer. A cat is displaying what has been described as a hybrid between taste and smell called flehmen, a German word for which there is no translation. It is a result of a cat's second scenting system, the vomeronasal organ or Jacobson's organ (named for its discoverer). This scent organ is independent of a cat's nose. A cat inhales with its mouth partially open while holding its breath. The rush of air and the tongue combine to bring the scent to Jacobson's organ and then to the brain.
