Hi everyone, my name is Pasqual! I’m a three-and-a-halfyear-old Labrador mix weighing about 50 pounds with a tan coat and white markings. I have beautiful, chocolate brown, eyes framed with dark fur that looks like eyeliner. My family surrendered me because they no longer had time for me. I am great with kids and am a laid back, sweet, girl with a lovable disposition. Will you be my new family and call me your own? The Door County Humane Society, located at 3475 County Road PD in Sturgeon Bay, is open Monday,
PET TALK By Sally Salopek Q. My ex-wife had a big black cat named Louie who liked to regurgitate in my shoe. I usually wasn’t aware of his surprise for me until I slipped my foot into the shoe. I liked Louie, except for that habit he had of puking in my shoe. Was he trying to tell me something? A. Not a very pleasant surprise to find in your shoe. Maybe he was trying to tell you something, and I am not referring to what he may have thought of your shoe odor. Doing some research it appears cats can and do vomit due to stress factors in their lives. It is possible Louie was trying to let you know he was distressed. A healthy cat can feel stress of environmental disruption and exhibit sickness behaviors as a result. A study was published in the Jan. 1, 2011, issue of the Journal of the American Veterinary Associations (JAVMA). It states stress by itself was enough to make otherwise healthy cats vomit, or have other sickness behaviors such as urinating or defecating outside their box, have reduced activity levels, be lethargic and at times avoid any social interactions. During the study period the cats were stressed by things that all pets have probably gone through at one time or another –

periods of cold temperatures, a change in caregivers and schedules, loud noises, absence of hiding spots or perches and abrupt changes in their diet. These symptoms of illness all disappeared when the cats’ stress levels returned to normal. Indoor enrichment may also have helped Louie overcome his vomiting in your shoes by lessening his stress, if that was the cause. Things like fooddispensing toys, a window perch for watching birds, cat furniture for climbing and scratching or even cardboard boxes or paper bags to play in may have given Louie the outlet he needed for relieving any anxiety he was experiencing. Also regular interactive play sessions could help relieve stress, build confidence, provide mental stimulation and be fun for both owner and kitty. Another possibility is Louie’s instinct was telling him to eject his stomach contents in an area where the vomit would be easier to bury or hide. Hopefully this will give you a bit of insight as to some possibilities as to why Louie was choosing your shoes to regurgitate in.
