How risky is it to house an otherwise healthy cat infected with FIP with non-infected cats a friend is coming to stay with a 10-year old cat with benign FIP - will this jeopardize my two healthy cats?
Healthy? If it has FIP it is going to die within a few weeks. If it is carrying the virus that mutates into FIP, no big deal, most cats have already had the virus. While the virus is contageous, if the other cat has been in a house with five or fewer cats for at least three months, the virus is gone. It is not generally recommended that they be comingled. Certainly, though, it's fine to have the FIP cat in one room or one section of the house, and your non-infected cats in another section. This website has some good Q and A about FIP: http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/brochures/fip.html Also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_infectious_peritonitis

What are the 3 most important amendments and why?
I can think of three groups, but I can't guarantee this is what you're looking for. The first group is the Bill of Rights ratified in 1791 and encompassing the first ten amendments. The second group is the Reconstruction amendments following the Civil War and all dealing with the status of slaves or rather former slaves following the thirteenth amendment. That would be the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments. The third group that comes to mind is the Progressive Era amendments which were the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th amendments.
Is Perkins a Jewish name?
In short: Yes, the name Perkins can be a Jewish name. The long form can be found below.Simon and Peter must be considered together, for they owe their numbers to the same great saint who, if his name were not thus divided in two would almost equal John. There was indeed another apostle called Simon, but so little is known of him that we can be certain it was veneration for Simon Peter that made the name rank so high.In Middle English references to this Saint the name Simon (often written Symond) was generally preferred to Peter, as in Wycliffe's Bible, and the numbers of Sim(p)son, Simmons and other variants given an idea of its immense popularity. Probably one reason for the early preference for this form was that it coincided with the pre-Conquest name Sigmund which was Scandinavian as well as English and well known to the Normans. It appears in Domesday Book, and would inevitable be con tracted to Simon, so that it must have seemed to eleventh-century Englishmen that the great Apostle who held the keys of Heaven had a very homely and familiar name. It is impossible now to sort out one origin from the other, but judging by other names of the two types we may say that much the larger contribution comes from the Saint.But the name Peter was popular too, though not in the way we now say it. Our surnames reveal what may surprise many, that it came into England with a French pronunciation something like Pierre, at any rate in a single syllable without any 't'. It is true that there is quite a large contingent of Peters, showing that this modern pronunciation, influenced by the Latin from Petrus, came into fashion just in time for latecomers, including the Welsh, but by far the largest mass of surnames from this name are those with the sound of Pears, generally written Pearce or Pearson, with Perkin as the favourite pet-form. It must have been noticed how readily 'er' and 'ar' were interchangeable (as in Clerk and Clarke, Derby and Darby), and Parkin is just another form of Perkin, as Parkes is of Perks. However when we come to Parke we are on doubtful ground as some Parkers must have lived in the Park, which is an entirely different matter. This small uncertainty makes little difference to the large score of Peter.2.

Why is my cat inconsistently using her litter box i.e. always urinates in the box - deficates in random locations around house.?
Hi there...if this is something that recently developed, first consider all the possibilities such as: - changes with litter brands - location of the litter box isn't private enough - some cats like to have one box to defecate and another to urinate - cleanliness (some cats are very finicky and prefer a super clean box) - as a general rule there should be one litter box for each cat plus one extra as a back up - kittens who are over 5-7 months can become sexually mature and urine spray as well as defecate inappropriately to mark territory. - senior cats develop age-related disorders such as chronic renal failure (CRF), hyperthyroidism, diabetes, etc. If all these have been ruled out, there's a chance that your cat may have developed another underlying medical problem such as something as simple as a lower urinary tract disorder: http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_feline_lower_urinary_tract_dis.html which can contribute to accidents outside of the box. Cats will associate pain while using box and change their habits as a result. Here's an article about why cats inappropriately soil outside their litter box by Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine: http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/brochures/Housesoiling.html House soiling is the most common behavior problem reported by cat owners. It includes urination and/or defecation outside the litter box, as well as urine spraying. Why do cats eliminate outside of the litter box? One common misconception is that cats soil in inappropriate places for revenge. It is tempting to conclude, "He defecated on the living room carpet to punish me for leaving him for the weekend." But this kind of calculation requires sophisticated cognitive abilities that cats aren't believed to possess. Furthermore, this conclusion assumes that cats view their urine and feces as distasteful, when in fact they do not. It is only we humans who view it that way. Medical Problems So why do cats urinate or defecate on your bed or carpet? Medical problems are one possibility. Inflammation of the urinary tract may cause painful or frequent urination, inability to urinate, bloody urine, and crying during urination. An affected cat is likely to eliminate outside the litter box if he comes to associate the box with painful urination, or if he has an increased urgency to urinate. In addition, kidney, liver, and thyroid diseases often lead to increased drinking and urination. Inflammation of the colon or rectum, intestinal tract tumors, intestinal parasites, and other gastrointestinal conditions may cause painful defecation, increased frequency or urgency to defecate, and decreased control of defecation. Age-related diseases that interfere with a cat's mobility (for example, arthritis, nervous system disorders, or muscular diseases), or with his cognitive functions can also influence his ability to get to the litter box in time. In short, any medical condition that interferes with a cat's normal elimination behavior can lead to house soiling. Litter Box Aversions Behavioral problems, such as litter box aversions, inappropriate site preferences, or urine spraying can also lead to house soiling. An aversion implies that there is something about the litter box that your cat finds unsavory. It could be the box, the litter, the location of the box, or all three. ...please consider visiting the website for further details
Why would your cat drag his behind along the carpet after using his litter tray?
It can be a behavioral problem, but can also be a sign of a bladder infection. If the cat is straining, that can be a serious problem, as he may be blocked. This is a life threatening emergency that needs immediate attention at the vet. If the cat is otherwise acting normal, I'd still visit the vet to rule out a possible bladder infection or cystitis. Have to be honest here, my cat sometimes goes outside the litter tray and I've watched him do it. It's just lack of positioning and laziness. He climbs in, digs a bit of gravel, sticks his backside over the edge and pees all over the floor! He's a big healthy boy with no problems except that he knows I'll clean it up after him. I wouldn't worry too much, as long as he's going to the toilet regularly and not trying to force it. One tip though, make sure you clean and steralize the area he has peed or he may go in the same place next time if he gets the scent there. Also they could be fussy on what litter you are using my cats will foul the floor if I use nothing but the cat sand!

Why does your cat urinate on your carpet and not in her litter box?
Peeing everywhere except the litter box can be clearest symptom of a UTI (urinary tract infection). But, this is true only if the cat has, until recently, always, used the litter box and the box is clean. You have to scoop it everyday, and change it once a week. If it isn't clean or it's next to the cat's food, the cat won't use it. Other reasons for not using the litter box can be: other pets or people bothering the cat when it's using the litter box, putting the box in a busy area, particularly if it's an old or sick cat, or a kitten, if the litter box is too far away or in a hard to reach place, or the cat does not like its litter and wont use it, or, the litter box is too small. But if the cat has been good about using the litter box and suddenly isn't, it probably has a UTI and needs to go to the vet. There are not many effective home remedies for feline UTI. A cat with UTI has to pee very suddenly and urgently, and often can't get to the litter box in time. And peeing with UTI can be painful, and the cat might avoid the litter box because it associates the box with the pain. One of the easiest things to help avoid a cat contracting a UTI is to increase the water intake, and possibly to use a Feliway plugin or spray for stress-related UTIs. There are several things you can do to increase how much water a cat is intaking. By far the easiest option is to feed a wet food diet. Canned or pouched food has anywhere between 60 to 80% water. Seeing as in the wild a cat's prey is around 70% water, wet food provides a cat with more than enough water each day. It may be ideal to and incorporate at least some wet food into the cat's diet each day, so your kitten gets at least some water. Another way to increase water intake is to leave a tap on, or purchase a pet water fountain. Many cats are fickle when it comes to water and will only drink fresh moving water. A running tap or fountain keeps water constantly moving and fresh, and both methods are very successful in enticing a cat to drink more water. Until recently, it was thought that a cat urinating in an inappropriate place might be a sign of anger, but newer research indicates this isn't true. The cat isn't urinating outside the box to express anger or annoy you. Please don't take it personally. UTI is stress related with cats, and if you are angry or try to punish your cat, it will fix nothing, and only make the situation worse.
