If your cat goea outdoors nnd at times is unsupervised s/he la at risk to contract these diseaaes from other cats. When strange cats encounter one another, they tend to be quiet aggreasive and anti- social. Moat often an encounter resulta in a figlit, possibly involving bite wounds and exposure to these viruses. There are vaccines available for Felv and FLP but not FIV aI this lime. Cats at risk of contracting these dis- cases should be vaccinated anually for Felv, FIP and Rabies, along with the cold viruses and distemper. If your cal cornes in contact wiîh a carrier of the above, s/lie upon developing the virus, will invarîably die. There is no cure for these lhree viruses aI this lime! Please, if you haven't had these vaccines administered 10 your pet, ask for them!

Adrenaline, tIse hormone which gives us our fight or flight response, is over- stimulated when we are constantly coping witb stress. At these limes, the body requires SIX 10 eight times more vitanfin C to make adrenaline. Our western lifestyle is almost entirely motivated by faght or flight. Our digestive, and elimination system are also lin- dered under stress, due to a dramatic reduction in île secretions of our digestive enzymes. Tlese enzymes are responsible for effectively breaking down the nutrienta in our food. Without optimum digestion, our absorption of important nutrients Iowers, making it difficuit to achieve a higher level of health and hindering any attempts aI metabolic weiglt management. A Registered Nutritional Consultant can help you to understand what nutrients may be of maximum benefit for your individual needs. You can also lelp yourself by reducing tIc stress in your life. Remember the importance of eating properly, gel- ting the proper amount of rest and including a moderate amount of exercise.
