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. But exercise isnât the only thing thing you can do to release endorphins.ndorphins are the bodyâs natural opiates, designed to relieve stress and enhance pleasure.

Endorphins (contracted from endogenous morphine[note 1]) are endogenous opioid neuropeptides and peptide hormones in humans and other animals. They are produced by the central nervous system and the pituitary gland. The term endorphins implies a pharmacological activity (analogous to the activity of the corticosteroid category of biochemicals) as opposed to a specific chemical formulation. It consists of two parts: endo-and -orphin; these are short forms of the words endogenous and morphine, intended to mean a morphine-like substance originating from within the body.
