Major corporations are offering free Internet and Wifi as teaching tools for elementary-age students, famous personalities are reading books online in the image of Reading Rainbow, and other creative people are offering Master Classes in every one of the arts. Many more private citizens are thinking outside the box, helping others, stepping up to the plate to tackle something new, different or difficult. So many exciting things are happening all around us.
Cat fancy folks are part of this novel resurgence of “I am my brother’s keeper” as they find creative ways to be of service. Among those serving in a time of need, of course, are those whose vocation is the medical field: nurses, doctors, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, and more. Others are working with school districts to prepare lunches for children in need of daily sustenance, many with college degrees are volunteering to tutor in areas where parents find themselves at a loss as they homeschool their children. Others are doing what they can to help relieve the shortage of PPEs (personal protective equipment) such as masks, face shields, and protective gowns.

The Cat Fancy Alphabet
\"The Cat Fancy Alphabet\" is a new feature in Cat Talk. It highlights various terms and aspects of the cat fancy, educating fanciers new and old about our hobby.
UP CLOSE AND Purr-sonal
If there is one person, or even just a name, that anyone in CFA (Cat Fancier Association) knows, it would have to be Allene Tartaglia. It might be from her involvement with most aspects of the operations of CFA in her position of executive director. Or perhaps from her deep involvement with both the CFA Annual meeting and/or the International Show. Cat Talk thought it was time to learn more about one of the most key people in CFA.
Vision and Hearing Dysfunctions in Senior Cats
Just as people are challenged by having deficiencies with vision and hearing over time, so are senior cats. In senior cats, pet owners may notice their cats are no longer responding to them in the same way; however, it may be difficult to figure out.
Senior Cats and House Soiling
Why is my cat no longer using its litter box? Cat soiling in the house is one of the most talked about issues for pet owners.
Nutrition for Our Senior Cats
From the time they are born, our kittens receive a tremendous amount of care, with diet being at the core of their growth and development.

Alternative Arthritis Treatments for Cats
Just like humans, cats can experience arthritis. About 90% of cats over the age of 10 years experience osteoarthritis (OA) in at least one joint.1 It is a complex condition involving inflammation and degeneration of one or more joints and is sometimes referred to as degenerative joint disease (DJD). Cats with OA experience pain and inflammation in various joints that interfere with daily activities.
