Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references.<br>Domestic cats (Felis catus) are abundant generalist predators that exploit a wide range of prey within and adjacent to the urban matrix. Cats are known to have contributed to the extinction and endangerment (mostly on islands) of a number of indigenous species, including birds, small mammals, reptiles and amphibians. Most research on this important topic has been carried out in the developed world, predominantly in Australia, New Zealand, the U.K., the U.S. and Canada with only four studies carried out in Africa. Of these, two studies in Cape Town sugges

This paper details the making of Stray Cats, a University of New Orleans thesis film. It examines the process of creating the film in three parts. Part one will detail the pre-production, including the conceptualization, writing, and preparation for the project. Part two will cover the production, including the directing, production design, cinematography, and on-set operations. Part three will describe the post-production process, including the editing, color correction, sound design, and musical score. These three components will then be referenced in regards to the theme of the film, and wi

Abstract:

Since the introduction of the lipid emulsion formulation in 1986, propofol has become established for induction as well as for maintenance of anaesthesia in veterinary practice1 including cats2;3-8. Propofol is rapidly metabolized by hepatic glucuronidation in most species and it has also been shown to undergo extrahepatic metabolism9-13, so that total body clearance may exceed liver blood flow in certain species. Because of their highly carniverous diet, cats are little exposed to antiherbivory compounds so that they have become deficient in UGP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT)14. Consequently,

Little is known regarding the prevalence of CM in this population. Furthermore, the clinical importance of auscultatory abnormalities in apparently healthy cats is unclear. In order to estimate the prevalence of murmurs and CM, we prospectively evaluated a sample of apparently healthy cats.

Abstract:

Settlement by Europeans brought with it many changes to the Australian environment including: altered fire regimes; land clearing; hunting native animals; and the introduction of exotic diseases, herbivores and predators. Many of these factors have been proposed as causes of declines in the diversity and ranges of native vertebrates, especially mammals, although few have been studied experimentally. This study at Heirisson Prong in Shark Bay, Western Australia, examined the role of exotic predators in the decline of native fauna by investigating the predatory impact of feral cats and foxes on

With an estimated 400 million domestic cats worldwide, free-roaming cats issues are of global importance due to animal welfare and public health concerns, as well as impacts on native wildlife through predation, competition and disease transmission. Though these impacts have been well documented, no research has evaluated the ecology and population dynamics of unmanaged, free-roaming cat populations using radio-telemetry. My objectives were to (1) compare population demographics (survival, fecundity and annual ranges/movements) among sex and ownership classifications (feral, semi-feral, and ow

Abstract:

Normal levels of CO₂ are responsible for the maintenance of approximately 30% of sympathetic neurogenic vascular tone in intact cats. The central medullary chemoreceptors have been implicated as the major source of this CO₂ dependent neurogenic vascular tone. However, it is possible that spinal cord CO₂ sensitivity could also have mediated a portion of neurogenic vascular tone. Cats with acute and chronic spinal transections can maintain near normal levels of systemic arterial blood pressure, and show cardiovascular and sympathetic reflex changes in response to a variety of stimuli.

Abstract:

This research focused on three areas of interest regarding feline amputees; owner perception of how their cats adapt to limb amputation, the possibility of phantom sensation, and changes in gait. In general owners felt their cats had an acceptable quality of life; however a proportion believed their cat experienced pain. Anecdotally, owners reported that their cats continued to attempt to use the missing limb following amputation. This prompted the investigation of noninnate forelimb behaviours potentially indicative of phantom sensation; such behaviours apparently persist for months or years

Hyperthyroidism is the most common feline endocrinopathy. 131I is the treatment of choice, and over 50,000 cats have been treated using an empirical fixed dose. Better treatment responses could be achieved by tailoring the dose based on the severity of disease. Scintigraphy is the best method to quantify the severity of the disease. Previously established scintigraphic quantitative methods, thyroid to salivary ratio (T:S ratio) and % dose uptake, are the most widely recognized measurements. Recently, the thyroid to background ratio (T:B ratio) has been proposed as an alternate method to assess

Similarly, the prevalence of enteric viruses in domestic cats is understudied in Australia compared to other countries.
