Total Cat Mojo by Jackson Galaxy

About Total Cat Mojo

This comprehensive cat care guide from the star of the hit Animal Planet show “My Cat from Hell,” Jackson Galaxy, shows us how to eliminate feline behavioral problems by understanding cats’ instinctive behavior.

Cat Mojo is the confidence that cats exhibit when they are at ease in their environment and in touch with their natural instincts—to hunt, catch, kill, eat, groom, and sleep. Problems such as litter box avoidance and aggression arise when cats lack this confidence. Jackson Galaxy’s number one piece of advice to his clients is to help their cats harness their mojo.
    This book is his most comprehensive guide yet to cat behavior and basic cat care, rooted in understanding cats better. From getting kittens off to the right start socially, to taking care of cats in their senior years, and everything in between, this book addresses the head-to-toe physical and emotional needs of cats—whether related to grooming, nutrition, play, or stress-free trips to the vet.

DeGreasing a Cat including your Siberian

Sharing this from another poster - all credit goes to individual companies , and the author.  L Hornburger

One thing I will add is rinse rinse rinse and then rinse again - never ever leave shampoo, degreaser or anything in the coat of your cat - because they WILL lick it and while topical wont harm your kitty some things WILL when ingested. 

Degreasing a Cat

Degreasing is done before shampooing to remove the majority of oils from the coat. There are a number of options available depending on the coat and on personal preference.
1) Dawn dishwashing liquid -- This is cheap and effective for most shorthaired cats, but only seems to work for less oily persians. It works best if thinned slightly and put on a wet coat.
2) Top Performance Degreaser -- This is a bit more, but to me seems to be better for persians. Again, thin and use on a wet coat.
3) Davis Degreaser -- This is a gel degreaser, with no coloring and a pleasant smell. It should NOT be thinned and should be used on a dry coat. One puts it on and then massages it into the hair all the way to the skin. It works best if it stands for a few minutes before wetting the coat. I put it on and then start running the water to the right temperature. It is very effective for most greasy areas on a persian. More expensive than the liquid degreasers and the Groomer's Goop, but not excessively costly if you buy the large jar.
4) Groomer's Goop -- This is a semi-solid degreaser in a tub. It has to me a petrochemical smell which I do not like. It does work and some say it works better than the Davis degreaser, especially on very oily cats. Again, no thinning, work into the coat, let stand for a minute or two. This is cheaper than Davis.
5) Les Pooches F&T -- This is considered the best degreaser by many who show cats. It is expensive and hard to find. And I can't really say much about it as I just broke down and ordered my first bottle of it.
When I degrease a cat, I almost always use Davis first on the chest, behind the ears, the front legs, and maybe the tail, and then Top Performance second, on the entire cat.

Felv and Immunosuppression

As many people are aware - we do NOT support the Felv vaccine and in fact, have it in our contract that if you choose to vaccinate with it, you are not covered by us. You initial to this effect and understanding.

And here is why -  Felv vaccination causes such severe immunosuppresion through a very specific  envelope protein as to permit  virus mutation/propogation. And what virus mutates most frequently - Cancer and FIP ! the 2 most deadly disease's in cats.

Here is the original document.

http://jvi.asm.org/content/88/2/992.full    
This article produced in 2014 again proves the immunosuppressive levels of the Felv vaccine.

Even Pet Web MD claims that -"" Vaccination with FeLV or rabies vaccine appears the be the underlying cause of this type of sarcoma. In fact, risk of sarcoma formation following a single injectable vaccination in the neck-shoulder region is 50 percent higher than for cats not receiving a vaccination. Moreover, the risk of developing the tumors may increase with the frequency and number of vaccinations given. In one study, cats given two vaccinations at the same site is 127 percent more likely to develop tumors than those not receiving vaccinations, and those with three or four vaccines at the same site were more than one and a half more likely (175 percent higher).""

In this case a best defense is a great offense - always Felv/Fiv test any new cat coming into the home before they come into contact with your current kitties. Make sure your current kitties have been tested and are Negative - if you dont know their status , FIND OUT.  

Keeping your kitty indoors only , parasite free and with minimal contact with unknown animals is the best defense once you are an Felv/FIV negative house. 

Inside mean Inside

Once again , I am sharing this with you. Our Siberians only leave us on contract and to indoor only homes. Period. No means no. DO NOT ask us to make an exception, or what if, or maybe , or he cries or he stays on the porch , or he is only in the backyard.

NO MEANS No.

This photo was taken this month - September 2017 from Mesa AZ.   If you still think its "ok" under any set of circumstances to let your kitty out of doors. Do us all a favor and dont get a kitty.
