VIEW ANIMAL HOSPITAL People allergic to cats may seem logical, but asthmatic cats allergic to people? While it might sound absurd, a field study conducted con-ducted at the University of Edin-burghis Edin-burghis Hospital for Small Animals Ani-mals suggests it may be true. Cigarette smoke, dusty houses, human dandruff, pollen and certain cer-tain types of cat litters can create inflammation in cats airways and worsen asthma. Cats with feline asthma syndrome can be made worse by living in a household where people smoke, or where there are other potential allergens or irritants. Changing cat litter from granules to a newspaper-based product can help some asthmatic animals. About one in 200 cats have feline asthma, which causes coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. Recent findings find-ings in the study of human asthma suggest a link between bacterial mycoplasma infection and exacerbation of asthmatic asth-matic symptoms. According to recent research conducted in the United States and Australia, mycoplasma appears in a fifth of all lung fluid samples obtained from asthmatic cats. r I Academy was very honored to view this aspect of their lives. An awards ceremony on April 12th in the school's auditorium au-ditorium commemorated the best of each category. Each category was presented eight awards in excellence and five merit awards. While some categories just had a few entries the amount of awards were granted in relation rela-tion to the number of entries in that particular field. There were a total of nine categories cate-gories that included essay, photography, 3-D art, dance, two-dimensional art, painting paint-ing and music. An ice cream party was given to all participants partici-pants at the conclusion of this ceremony. The same evening a Showcase Show-case Gallery displayed every entry entered. Parents and family members were invited invit-ed to come see their child's art as well as all the other entries. en-tries. Professional judges were used in evaluating the art pieces. Gary Price Studios for 3-D art, Snelson Photography Photog-raphy for photography, as well as professors from BYU in Art were some of the judges involved in this process. This program was an enjoyment en-joyment for all involved. They hope each student had a positive experience and it breathed an opportunity to nourish their visions and dreams. aw Winners in the 3D art category at Regan Academy i L A ' ; X - f A - Winners in the Photo category at Regan Academy lrC-l Ay AC- X j 'Is,--.
