How could we live without them, but what happens when furniture is in shreds? And our cats are peeing every place but the litter box?  And, allergies are making it hard to love them?  Dr. Marty Becker, “America’s Veterinarian,” addresses these issues and more in his newest book “Your Cat: The Owner's Manual: Hundreds of Secrets, Surprises, and Solutions for Raising a Happy, Healthy Cat.” 

Cats are the most popular pets in America.  According to the American Pet Products Association, there are approximately 86.4 million pet cats in the United States (more cats than dogs) and on average, each cat-loving household has two felines.  For more than 16 years, Dr. Becker has been the popular veterinary contributor to ABC-TV's Good Morning America and is now a member of Core Team Oz on The Dr. Oz Show.

Dr. Becker has a book signing event today from 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. at the PETCO located at 305 South East Chkalov Dr. in Vancouver.

Here's a list of the products demonstrated by Dr. Becker.

FURminator for cats tool is available in two sizes for long and short hair, each available with firm or soft pins, as well as a dual brush featuring a pin side and a natural bristle side.

C.E.T.A. Oral Chews for cats
Give your cat a daily treat that not only tastes great, but is also good for her. Yummy C.E.T. Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews feature the exclusive Dual-Enzyme System, which is activated by your cat’s saliva to produce Hypothiocyanite ions that eliminates plaque-forming bacteria. Each chew contains a natural antiseptic and an abrasive texture that works with the cat’s chewing action to loosen tarter. Give your cat at least 1 chew a day and more on those days when brushing isn’t possible.

Feliway Spray
Feliway Behavior Modification Spray reduces or completely stops stress-related behavior including urine marking, vertical scratching, loss of appetite and the reduced desire to play or interact, and to stop or prevent urinary marking by cats. For use in cages, cars, boarding, new houses, etc.

Feliway Plug-In Diffuser

Much like a plug-in deodorizer, the Feliway Diffuser emits a synthetic copy of your cat’s natural facial pheromone, used by felines to mark their territory as someplace safe and secure. Oil vapor carrying the pheromone will rise in a column of warm air above the Diffuser and prevent your kitty from urinating to mark its territory. Using pheromonatherapy to help soothe your pet is a new field in veterinary medicine. This scent in a room will help reassure your cat while it copes with a challenging new situation.
