Honoring healthy holistic lifestyles.So little is understood how cats transformed themselves from wild to domestic, even less is known of their unique health care and well-being needs. Fortunately, new research is emerging, offering insights into how today's cat are trying to adapt to human desires and still honor their instincts and origins. Health is often described as dynamic, in that the body can defend itself from all directions. Disease is stagnation, where the body has lost its fight flexibility. For example, when a cat is diagnosed with a urinary tract disorder, this is not an isolated event. The cat may have shown subtle signs—changes in a household behavior or maybe changes in personality—early warning signs of the body warding off disease. Left untreated, the next major stressor pushed his body into the diseased state. Learning your cat’s constitution and individual health patterns allows you to intervene with supporting therapies to realign an imbalance and slow or halt the development of disease. By using holistic principles along with significant advances in feline research, we can reach beyond the limitations of physical analysis and connect more with the Tao of the cat. |
