Black cats are infamously associated with Halloween and have been seen as bad luck by certain cultures throughout history. But, how much truth is there to these perceptions? In celebration of these sometimes misunderstood felines, we are covering the facts of the cat behind the holiday.

Despite this long reputation, black cats were actually also considered to be good luck talismans by seafarers. The more you learn about the elusive black cat, the more you come to understand that this cat is not like any other cat breed; they have a unique charm and an interesting history that truly sets them apart from other felines.

Deciding when to put your pet down is a heart-wrenching decision. We’ve teamed up with Dr. Alice Villalobos to help us out with this difficult topic. Dr. Villalobos is a veterinarian who specializes in caring for pets with cancer. In this video, she introduces her Quality of Life scale and how you can use it to determine whether your beloved friend still has a good quality of life. Dr. Villalobos calls her approach “Pawspice.” Once a pet is diagnosed with a life-limiting disease such as pet cancer, she enters her pet patients into the Pawspice care program. The goal is to help increase the quality of life while treating the disease and alleviating any distressful signs the pet may have. In this video, Dr. Villalobos goes over each factor of her scale so you and your veterinarian can use it to determine your pet’s Quality of Life score. You will keep scoring your pet over time to make sure they maintain a good quality of life. The scale includes 7 factors, each scored from 1-10.: Hurt Hunger Hydration Hygiene Happiness Mobility More Good Days Than Bad A score of 35 or less reflects a poor quality of life.
