To spite what people think animals can get allergies too. I know for a fact that some breeds of dog are very susceptible to certain allergies. For example, poodles are very sensitive to pollen. I know my friends poodle Scottie mix, known as a, no lie, Scottie-poo, develops a rash on its stomach every spring.

Cats can get allergies too. Many kittens are very prone to getting eye allergies. These kitten allergies are not dangerous at all but can be quite annoying for your cat. If you notice your cat or kittens eyes begin to look a bit puffy, don't panic. There swollen eyes are probably due to the change in the seasons bringing on an allergic reaction. I've had this experience before but I'm no vet. I would recommend that you take your pet to your local veterinarian as soon as possible to easy the discomfort of your furry friend.

Having your cat's claws removed may seem like common practice, especially if you don't want that brand new living room set completely destroyed. There is no place in your home that your cat can not get to and they can't be disciplined in the same way you might teach your dog not to pee on the carpet.

A few facts to consider before making the decision to dewclaw your cat or kitten. Declawing your cat isn't as simple as you may think. Your cat's claws are attached to the bone in the animals foot. In order to remove the claw those bones must be amputated. This is serious surgery and can be very painful for your pet. Imagine living your life with out finger tips, hardly a fair sacrifice to make to spare some furniture. In many European countries, the practice of declawing cats is illegal and considered inhumane.

So, think twice before making the decision to declaw your cat or cute kitten.
