The Cat Welfare Society (CWS) will launch its first-ever social media campaign on 14 January, aimed at creating awareness of the benefits of cat ownership. It carries a simple message: Life is better with a cat. Hosted on CWS’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/catwelfaresg), “Better With A Cat” will feature a series of light-hearted webisodes that portray owners of unsuitable “pets”, as well as video testimonials from satisfied cat owners Melody Chen and Lee Amizadai.

I just got off a long conversation with someone about cats and asthma. There is a general misconception that cats if there are any being kept at home is the cause of asthma. Rather than pointing finger at one’s home pet cats straight away, it is necessary for asthma patient to request the Ear-Nose-Throat Specialist to help perform an allergy test. An allergy test involves drawing blood and then the lab technician will test it against several common allergy causing things, e.g. dust mites, cat’s dander (dead skin flakes), dust, cockroach droppings, etc. The blood test outcome will reveal what the asthma patient is allergic to and to what degree for each allergent. Only then, the real cause(s) will be revealed.
