605.0. "Tufts newsletter CATNIP" by PARITY::DENISE (And may the traffic be with you) Tue Sep 14 1993 22:22

    
      I received an ad for a free sample of the Tufts University School of 
    Veterinary Medicine newsletter called CATNIP.  Anyone ever heard of
    it?  The literature with it sounded good, all kinds of info.,latest
    healthy blurbs, etc. on cats.  I sent the card in to get the free
    sample.  The rate for 1 year is $20.
    
    
      I have another card if someone would like to get a free issue too.
    Send me your address off line and I will put it in the mail for you.

605.1I get this newsletter, and like it!STUDIO::COLAIANNII have PMS and a handgun ;-)Wed Sep 15 1993 08:3562
    I subscribed to the Tufts Newsletter several months ago. It is an eight
    page three hole punched newsletter with lots of handy imformation in
    it. I enjoy it a lot, but must admit, I haven't learned too much from
    it that I hadn't already learned in this file! ;-)
    
    But, some poor souls don;t have access to the information in here, and
    the newsletter has lots of info about lots of topics. I will continue
    to get it I think. I have them starting at Volume 1, number 1, 1993. I
    think that makes them the first ones, right? ;-)
    
    Here is just a sample of some of the things they've covered since I
    started getting it.
    
    Medicine:
    	Rabies: Why vaccinate your cat
    	Neutering
    	Anesthesia
    	Dental Care
    	Feeding your cat
    	Allergic Skin diseases
    
    Behavior:
    	The Language of Cats
    	Cracking the cat litter code
    	The law and your cat
    	Fleas: The high jumpers
    	Vacations and cats
    	Scratching
    
    Frontiers:
    	Pacemaker Implantation in cats
    	Year of the cat
    	Cat ownners: Who are we?
    
    Then they have regular sections like this:
    	Pause for a reply: Answers mail questions
        Consumer cat: Advertises new books and products
    	Fascinating tales: Short cat stories
    	The naming of cats: Stories sent in on how your cat was named.
    	A Curiosity: This is a cute section that is hard to explain. It
    	    Explains strange facts about cats, or dispels myths, such as,
    	    Violin strings are not and never were made out of cat
    	    intestines. They usually are made from sheep, and should be
    	    referred to simply as 'gut'.
    
    	The last issue had A thing called "Tufts' Tip". This one explains
    How to get your cat into the carrier easier by standing the carrier
    on end so the door is facing the ceiling, and lowering the cast in bt
    the scruff, supporting the body with the other hand. I already do it
    this way, but know many people who still just try to 'stuff' the cat in
    and shut the door. I used to do this myself. Actually, I'm pretty lucky
    with my crew. Two of them walk right in! 8-)
    
    I hope this helps in making a decision on subscribing or not. If anyone
    would like a copy of anything they see above, I'de be happy to copy it
    and send it to you.
