The Scoop on Poop
You can learn a lot about your cat's health from his poop. Whether you’ve just adopted your first kitten or you’ve shared
your home with cats for years, watch for a few key signs when you scoop out the litter box.
Cat Poop: What’s Normal?
Most cats will poop at least once a day. If they’re healthy, their poop should:
Be deep brown in color
Feel not too hard or too soft or mushy
Not smell too foul, though some odor is normal
Diarrhea
Diarrhea is not uncommon for cats, and there are many reasons why your cat might have it. Sometimes, it comes and
goes quickly. Other times, it can last for days, weeks, or months, or come back on a regular basis.
Diarrhea that lasts for 24 to 48 hours probably won’t cause a problem, but if it lasts longer, your cat can get dehydrated,
which can be dangerous.
Some common causes of cat diarrhea include:
Changes to their diet or food allergies or intolerances
Inflammatory bowel disease
Colitis
Hyperthyroidism
Worms (intestinal parasites)
Pancreatic disease
Cancer
If your cat has diarrhea that lasts more than a day or two, see your veterinarian to figure out the cause. Call your vet
right away if the diarrhea is black or bloody, or if it happens along with fever, vomiting, sluggishness, or a loss of appe-
tite.
The treatment your cat will need depends on what’s causing his diarrhea. Some will need prescription medications, such
as metronidazole or prednisolone, to control inflammation. Your vet may recommend a special diet if she thinks a food
allergy or intolerance, IBD, or colitis is the problem.
To prevent diarrhea, don’t give your cat dairy products like milk or yogurt -- many cats can’t digest them properly. Also,
if you switch the brand or type of food you give him, be sure to introduce it over several days by mixing it with smaller
and smaller amounts of the old food until he’s eating only the new stuff.
Constipation
When a cat is constipated, he’ll strain a lot when he tries to poop or won’t be able to produce anything for the litter box.
You don’t need to worry if it only happens sometimes. But if it’s more common for your pet, you should contact your
vet.
Cats can get constipated for a number of reasons, including:
Over-grooming, which leads to extra hair in the digestive tract
Kidney problems
Feline megacolon -- when the colon gets very large and its muscles no longer squeeze, making hard, dry stool build
up inside
Something blocking their colon, such as string or bones
Diets that don’t have enough fiber
Problems inside the colon, such as tumors or narrow places
Spine problems or pain

Eye Care
Seeing “eye to eye” with your cat may be one of the best things you ever do for her health. A good home eye exam just
before grooming can clue you into any tearing, crust, cloudiness or inflammation that may indicate a health problem.
Here are few simple tips to keep your kitty’s eyes bright, healthy and on the prize-you!
Home Inspection
Face your cat in a brightly lit area and look her in the eyes. They should be clear and bright, and the area around the
eyeball should be white. Her pupils should be equal in size.
A Closer Look
Roll down your kitty’s eyelid gently with your thumb and take a look at the lid’s lining. It should be pink, not red or
white.
What to Watch Out For
How can you tell if there is something wrong with one or both of your cat’s eyes? Look out for the following:
Discharge
Watering
Red or white eyelid linings
Crusty gunk in the corners of the eye
Tear-stained fur
Closed eye(s)
Cloudiness or change in eye color
Visible third eyelid
Eye-Catching Behavior
Certain body language will also alert you to possible eye distress. If your cat is constantly squinting or pawing at her
eye area, give her eyes a good inspection. If you find any of the above symptoms, you should immediately call your vet.
A Little Wipe Goes A Long Way
Wipe away any crusty gunk from your cat’s eyes with a damp cotton ball. Always wipe away from the corner of the
eye, and use a fresh cotton ball for each eye. Snip away any long hairs that could be blocking her vision or poking her
eyes. Try not to use eye washes or eye drops unless they’ve been prescribed by your vet. If you notice unnatural dis-
charge during your grooming session, consult your vet.
Know Thy Eye Disorders
The following eye-related disorders are commonly seen in cats:
Conjunctivitis: One or both of your cat’s eyes will look red and swollen, and there may be discharge.
Third eyelid protrusion: If the third eyelid becomes visible or crosses your cat’s eye, he may have a wound or may be
suffering from diarrhea, worms or a virus.
Keratitis: If your cat’s cornea becomes inflamed, the eye will look cloudy and watery.
Cataracts: This opacity on the eye is often seen in elderly and diabetic cats.
Glaucoma: The cornea becomes cloudy and the eye enlarges due to an increased pressure in the eyeball.
Bulging eye: Bulging can occur because of accident or trauma or an eye tumor.
Retinal disease: Partial or total vision loss can happen when light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye degenerate.
Watery eyes: The fur around your cat’s eyes may be stained with tears because of blocked tear ducts or an overpro-
duction of tears.
Treating Eye Conditions
Many feline eye disorders can be treated with vet-prescribed drops or ointments-your vet will show you how to apply
eye and ear drops at home.
Preventing Eye Problems
The best way to prevent eye conditions is to make sure your cat gets all her vaccinations and has thorough check-ups.
Please examine her eyes regularly and consult a vet if you find any abnormalities. Eye conditions that are left un-
treated can lead to impaired sight or even blindness.

Breed Feature — Siberians
Appearance
The Siberian cat is a large, hefty cat with males being somewhat larger than the females. They are slow growing, taking
up to 5 years to reach their full size. They are semi-long haired with a triple coat including a dense soft undercoat, and
an outercoat of thick, shiny "guard hairs" which gives the coat a waterproof quality. Their first full adult coat usually
comes in the winter after their first birthday including a beautiful ruff around
their head, making them look like little lions! They also have tufts of fur be-
tween their paw pads and brushes of fur coming out from their ears equipping
them for snowy weather and beautiful "lynx tips" on their ears which helps to
give them their wild look.
The cat registries' Siberian breed standards go into more detail about exactly
how a Siberian cat should look. As we show our cats in NSW CFA and previously
in TICA these are the standards we aim for in our kittens. Click on the following
links to see the standards:
TICA Siberian Breed Standard
NSW CFA Siberian Breed Standard
WCF Siberian Breed Standard
FIFe Siberian Breed Standard
The Siberian cat comes in a rainbow of colours including brown, red, blue, cream, gold, silver, smoke, tortie, white, and
colour point. Here at Snowgum, our cats have the genes to produce brown, silver, golden, blue, blue-golden, blue-
silver, red, cream and torbie kittens. Some will be with white (like Indiana and Astra) and others without. All of our kit-
tens will have a beautiful mackerel tabby (striped), classic tabby (blotched), spotted or shaded tabby pattern and beau-
tiful green or gold and green eyes. For details and images of cat colours please see our Siberian Cat Colours page.
Temperament
Siberian cats are often described as having a "dog-like" personality. They are loyal, affectionate, playful and want to be
your best friend. Our cats greet us at the door when we come home, follow us from room to room wanting to hang out
where ever we are and help with what ever we are doing! Meadow even plays fetch like a dog!
They are very intelligent cats and will quickly work out how to open doors and how
to get their favourite toy from its hiding spot! They mix easily with other animals
including dogs and because they are a gentle, loving cat they are also a great breed
for families with small children. Our kids have grown up with our cats around them;
my daughter's first word was her favourite cat's name, "Dasha".
Some Siberians are lap cats and will loving nothing better than snuggling on your lap,
others are sightly more independent and prefer to sit next to you on the sofa rather
than right on your lap. Either way, they love to interact with you and will play with
you for as long as you have the stamina! They will want to be involved with your
every day activities and enjoy "helping" you with your chores or your reading or typ-
ing - a newspaper or keyboard is the best place for a Siberian to take a nap when you
have some reading or writing to do!
Lifespan
An average lifespan for a Siberian cat is between 11 and 15 years. Some Siberians have however, been known to live
(Continued on page 9)

Breed Feature — Siberians
(Continued from page 8)
20+ years! Keep in mind that your kitten will be more likely to live a long live if it is
fed a healthy low carbohydrate diet, given good vet care and kept away from the
dangers of the roads.
When considering buying a kitten you should be prepared to give it a loving home for
the next decade or two. Buying a kitten is not something to be done on a whim; it is a
commitment for the lifetime of the animal and should only be done after much con-
sideration.
Health
The Siberian cat is one of the 3 breeds of "forest" cats, and is one of the oldest
"natural" breeds of cats, meaning they are not a human developed breed created by
crossing various other breeds. As a result, they are a robust healthy breed able to
survive in harsh winters and with few known health problems.
In recent years two genetic diseases have appeared in the breed: Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD) and Hypertrophic Car-
diomyopathy (HCM). Our cats have been DNA tested and are negative for the gene responsible for PKD. Unfortunately
the genes responsible for HCM in Siberians has not yet been identified.
DNA tests for HCM exist for the Maine Coon and Ragdoll breeds however these tests are not valid for testing Siberians.
Performing an echocardiogram (ultrasound) on Siberian cats, is the only way of truly testing for the disease. Ultra-
sounds are not infallible as they are a point in time test however, they are the best tool available at present and pro-
vide some reasurrance that the breeding cat is healthy and free from the disease.
Our cats' hearts are given echocardiograms by a specialist in veterinary cardiology, Niek Jozef Beijerink, DVM MS PhD
Dipl ECVIM-CA (Cardiology). We have started an annual screening program to ensure our cats are free from this dis-
ease. We are also careful about choosing breeding cats from lines which have not had any reported HCM and we know
the parents of our cats are all alive and healthy and are free from any symptoms of this condition.
It is important to note that blood tests are not a valid method of identifying HCM, these are in fact only useful for iden-
tifying a cat in the late stages of heart failure. These tests should not therefore be used as a testing tool for a breeding
program.
History
Siberian is the name given to Russia's native semi-longhaired cat. There is a lack of historical information about Siberian
cats so many stories have developed over time to explain the breed's origin. Siberian cats were apparently first docu-
mented in the year 1000 though they were not a pedigreed breed at this stage, but rather were the mouse catchers in
the streets and homes throughout Russia.
The Siberian cat was considered to be a large,
solid cat with a waterproof coat and thick under-
coat. Due to their appearance these cats could
survive in the cold, severe climate. The cats were
seen in a wide variety of colours.
The modern Siberian as we know it, is the result
of the development of a written "breed stan-
dard" for the cat and of the hard work and time
of many breeders and judges. In the late 1980's
the first imported cat breeds started to appear in
9NSW Cat Fanciers’ Association Inc.
Breed Feature - Siberians
(Continued from page 9)
Russia and the first cat shows were held there. It was decided that a breed standard should be developed to distinguish these
large, fluffy Russian cats from the other long haired cat breeds. The President of the Kotofei club, Olga Mironva developed the
first Siberian breed description. A brown tabby and white Siberian stud Roman, born in 1987 was used as the basis for this first
written standard. He appears in many pedigrees (including our Indiana's) and was one of the foundation cats for the breed.
The WCF was the first international cat registry to accept the Siberian Cat, including the colour point Siberian, nicknamed the
"Neva Masquerade". A blue tabby point with white stud called Mars born in 1988 was the founding colour point of the breed.
Mars and Roman can be seen at the beginning of many Siberian pedigrees even today.
In 1988 judges from abroad began to visit Russian shows and this sparked an international interest in the Siberian cat. The first
Siberians entered Australia quite a bit later in 2003 from the US. There are now quite a number of Siberian cat breeders in
Australia and the number is increasing every year as more people meet and fall in love with the wonderful Siberian breed.
For a more detailed account of the history of the Siberian Cat Breed please follow this link to a history written by Dr. Irina Sa-
dovnikova, WCF judge and Russian breeder of Siberian Cats: Siberian Cat History
To ease your cat’s constipation, your vet may suggest that you give him more fiber, such as by adding canned pumpkin to
his regular food. Or she might tell you to change to food that’s easier for your pet to digest.
It also helps to make sure he gets more exercise and drinks more water so that waste will move through his system more
readily.

19Advertising in Catching Up Advertising All commercial and member advertising enquiries should be directed to: Joanne Greentree - jaygee.jo@gmail.com Full Page - $150 Half Page - $100 Quarter Page - $ 65 Cattery Cards - $ 60 per year Notice to Advertisers The Trade Practices Act 1974 came into force on October 1st 1974. It is the advertiser’s responsibility to ensure advertisements submitted for publication comply with the Act and that the provisions of the Act are strictly complied with. In cases of doubt, advertisers are asked to seek legal advice before submitting advertising material. The Editorial Committee reserves the right to withhold publication of any material whatsoever. Views and opinions expressed in this journal are those of the correspondents and contributors concerned and are not necessarily those of the Editorial Committee, printers or publishers. Names and addresses of correspondents may be withdrawn from publication on request but must be supplied to the Editor. Disputes From time to time, members refer matters to the NSW Cat Fanciers Association Inc (NSW CFA) when it is not appropriate. For example, disputes between members in relation to the sale of cats are usually private matters to be determined by the contractual arrangements between members. Disputes on such matters should be resolved by the courts, not by NSWCFA. Members are requested to refrain from referring matters to NSW CFA which are a private or domestic matter or which should be properly resolved by the Courts. Members should be aware that the Consumer Claims Tribunal is available to resolve many disputes in the relation to the supply of goods to a consumer and NSWCFA recommends that matters that fall within the jurisdiction of that Tribunal and which cannot be resolved personally should be referred to that Tribunal.
