Overactivity mornings and/or evenings - Crepuscular - this is the term for cats overactivity early mornings and in the evenings. According to Dr. Fox, It is a natural rhythm of behaviour. In the wild your cats would be actively hunting at these hours. Even the fact that they are raised indoors and that their breed have endured years of domestication, this has not eliminated this natural behaviour. If you prize your sleep during "crepuscular" activity, you may want to isolate your cat where they could be overactive to their hearts' content. Dr. Fox further adds that he is firmly against tranquilizing cats as one of his readers did.

Overactive Thyroid - According to Dr. Michael Fox, there is no alternative treatment for overactive thyroid that does not entail taking blood samples at intervals to monitor effectiveness of the thyroid medication. If your pet is not terrified while blood sample is being taken then it is a good thing to do. But if your pet is physically and psychologically too frail from this then it is best to monitor the cat's response in terms of appetite, weight gain and behavioural change.

Overweight - Go for the garlic! "One of garlic's properties is that it helps regulate the liver and the gall bladder. that helps the digestive system get back on track," says Ann-si Li, D.V.M., an expert in Oriental veterinary medicine in Oakland, California. "So, as bad as it can be for the breath, this pungent herb can be an effective weight-loss tool", she says. For small pets, she recommends crushing about one-quarter to one-half of a clove and putting it in their food. Larger pets can eat anywhere from one to two cloves a day.
