Caturday: Do cats need air purifiers?

 



Cats don't specifically need air purifiers, but they can benefit from them in certain situations.

Air purifiers can be helpful for cats in these scenarios:

  1. If your cat has respiratory issues like asthma or allergies
  2. If you live in an area with poor air quality or high pollution
  3. If there's a smoker in the household
  4. If your home tends to accumulate dust, pet dander, or other airborne particles

Cats have sensitive respiratory systems and can be affected by airborne irritants. An air purifier with a HEPA filter can remove pet dander, dust mites, pollen, and other allergens that might bother both you and your cat.

That said, air purifiers are not a necessity for most healthy cats in clean environments. Good ventilation, regular cleaning, and proper litter box maintenance will address many air quality issues without requiring a specialized purifier.

If your cat is showing respiratory symptoms like coughing, wheezing, or labored breathing, it's best to consult with a veterinarian rather than just purchasing an air purifier.

In Memoriam: Carl Don Leaver

  1948-2021 It is with great sadness that MSI Press notes the death of Carl Leaver, CEO of the Press and typesetter and graphic designer par excellence . Many authors have expressed not only condolences but also a sense of legacy from covers he designed that they love.  Here is his obituary: On August 16, 2021, Carl Don Leaver of San Juan Bautista passed into eternal rest. A forester with the US Forest Service in Idaho and Montana, he turned to nature photography while working in the Bitterroot National Forest. His photographs graced national magazine covers and on a weekly basis the local paper of Hamilton, MT, the Ravalli Republican.

His final career change led him to computer graphics and publishing as co-owner of MSI Press LLC; his many typeset books and book covers have helped MSI Press authors win a large number of awards over t...

A Publisher's Conversation with Authors: Should you treat your writing as a business?

Image
It is Tuesday. Monday's madness is over, and Wednesday will take us over the hump, so Tuesday it is--for some serious discussion with authors. Tuesday talks mean to address authors in waiting and self-published authors who would like to go a more traditional route or who would at least like to take their steps with a publisher by their side.  This week we look at whether an author should set up a formal business or simply treat writing as a side gig, That, of course, depends. It depends on an author's income level, long-term goals, and risk tolerance.  Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons of formalizing a writing business versus staying a sole proprietor and paying taxes on royalties. Option 1: Treat Writing as a Side Gig (No Formal Business) If you earn royalties from book sales but don’t set up a separate business entity, the IRS considers you a sole proprietor by default . You report book income on Schedule C of your personal tax return and pay self-employment tax. ✅ P...
