URIs in cats have many causes and symptoms. Our resident vet explains the condition. I recently received the following question on cat health from a visitor to my website: My cat has a slight watery discharge from her right eye and it sometimes âcatchesâ dirt as it slides down her nose. I was just wondering if she has an upper respiratory infection and if so, what can I do about it. She doesnât seem to have any other problems at present. Occasionally, I wipe her eye with a warm washcloth.
Endorphins are the bodyâs natural opiates, designed to relieve stress and enhance pleasure. It's common knowledge that exercising releases endorphins, a chemical in your brain that leads to feelings of happiness, even euphoria.

Endorphins are neurotransmitters, chemicals that pass along signals from one neuron to the next. Neurotransmitters play a key role in the function of the central nervous system and can either prompt or suppress the further signaling of nearby neurons. Endorphins are produced as a response to certain stimuli, especially stress, fear or pain. They originate in various parts of your body -- the pituitary gland, your spinal cord and throughout other parts of your brain and nervous system -- and interact mainly with receptors in cells found in regions of the brain responsible for blocking pain and controlling emotion.
