How do I stop my Exotic Persian male cat from antagonizing my petite female Bengal cat? He even tries to prevent her from eating!
What exactly is Sjorgen Syndrome and what is the best remedy that can alleviate the symptoms? Does it ever go away?

Three questions in one? lol all for the price of two points! Ok ……here goes:
1) Warts are viral. Since they are a virus you have to kill it. Wart pads are easy. They look like little band aids (clear so you don’t even see that you are wearing one) with a medicated pad in the center. You keep them on 48 hours in a row. Then reapply. It literally will allow the wart to pop off. Scared the beejeezus out of my daughter when she was 6 and had the wart pop off and left a little hole in her finger……but it soon healed up and the wart never returned.
Cats are territorial. I’m not sure you can stop him from antagonizing her other than removing him from a certain area. Let the female roam while the male must remain locked up in a certain room or wing of the house. After a lengthy period, he can be allowed back in, but may not feel he is king of this territory anymore. (worth a shot)
3) Sjogren’s syndrome classically features a combination of dry eyes, dry mouth, and another disease of the connective tissues, most commonly rheumatoid arthritis.
Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disease, characterized by the abnormal production of extra antibodies in the blood that are directed against various tissues of the body. This particular autoimmune illness is caused by inflammation in the glands of the body. Inflammation of the glands that produce tears (lacrimal glands) leads to decreased water production for tears and eye dryness. Inflammation of the glands that produce the saliva in the mouth (salivary glands, including the parotid glands) leads to mouth dryness.
The treatment of patients with Sjogren’s syndrome is directed toward the particular areas of the body that are involved and complications, such as infection. There is no cure for Sjogren’s syndrome.
Dryness of the eyes can be helped by artificial tears, eye lubricant ointments at night, and minimizing the use of hair dryers. When dryness becomes more significant, the ophthalmologist can plug the tear duct closed so that tears cover the eye longer. Cyclosporin eyedrops (Restasis) are recently approved medicated drops that can reduce the inflammation of the tear glands improving their function. Signs of eye infection (conjunctivitis), such as pus or excessive redness or pain, should be evaluated by the doctor.
The dry mouth can be helped by drinking plenty of fluids, humidifying air, and good dental care to avoid dental decay. The glands can be stimulated to produce saliva by sucking on sugarless lemon drops or glycerin swabs. Additional treatment for the symptom of dry mouth are prescription medications that are saliva stimulants, such as pilocarpine (Salagen) and cevimeline (Evoxac). These medications should be avoided by persons with certain heart diseases, asthma or glaucoma. Artificial saliva preparations can ease many of the problems associated with dry mouth. Many of these types of agents are available as over-the-counter products including toothpaste, gum, and mouthwash (Biotene). Vitamin E oil has been used with some success. Infections of the mouth and teeth should be addressed as early as possible in order to avoid more severe complications. Diligent dental care is very important.
Mainly due to pollution and exposure to sun. Keep the skin clean and if it is dry type, use the proper moisturizer. If the wart is grown a bit, it is safe to remove it surgically. Drink plenty of water.
Hi ,
Here is an answer I have copied from http://www.answers.com
Diagnosis
Warts (Common Warts)
What are common warts?
Common warts are local growths in the skin that are caused by virus infection. They are generally not contagious.
What is the treatment for common warts?
Common warts can be annoying to anyone. This information is about the treatment of common warts. It does not apply to genital or venereal warts.
Here is a complete list of all the ingredients you can buy over-the-counter for treating common skin warts:
Salicylic Acid
Have you got all that? Ingredient-wise, all wart products are the same.
Salicylic acid comes as drops, gels, pads, and plasters. They are designed to apply to all kinds of warts, from teeny little ones to great big lumpy ones. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic, which means it dissolves the protein (keratin), which makes up most of both your wart and the thick layer of dead skin that often tops it.
Is using salicylic acid products for warts safe?
You can’t damage yourself with these treatments. If you get salicylic acid on normal skin, it can cause burning or redness, but never infection or scarring. All you have to do is stop using it on irritated areas, and the skin returns to normal. Still, you’re probably best off not using salicylic acid on sensitive areas like the face or groin, where it’s likely to make nearby skin raw and uncomfortable.
It generally is recommended that salicylic acid not be used in diabetics or when there is poor circulation (because of concern about how normally the skin can heal; however, in practice, salicylic acid is withheld only when there are clear signs of ongoing inflammation of the skin.
Are wart treatments effective?
How well wart treatments work is another matter. You have to realize that warts do whatever they want. They come and go for no particular reason. Some warts sprout offshoots near the main wart and others don’t. Some hurt and others are painless. Certain warts, even of the same type, respond to treatment and others (even on the same person at the same time) just hang around no matter what you (or your doctors) try. Remember–although they are caused by a virus, most warts do NOT behave as though they are contagious. (If they were catching, wouldn’t washing yourself spread warts from your hands all over your body? Aha!!!!)
Here is a practical approach to warts:
If you can ignore your warts, do so. Eventually, they’ll go away (although eventually can be a long time – even months or years).
If you have an easy case (a single wart on the face or one or a few on the hands), see a doctor for a quick freeze or electrical zap. Simple, almost painless, and non-scarring.
If you have a hard case, you can start by treating the warts for a few weeks on your own. Examples:
Plantar warts — Warts on the bottom of the foot feel deep but they are still within the superficial layer of the skin. Salicylic acid drops and plasters help remove the thick overlying callus and make the wart feel less like a marble in your shoe.
Common hand warts — These are typically "gross," though not painful. Salicylic acid can make them smaller, and in some cases go away.
