It's All About the Cat

I don't know what you think about it or what the cats thinks. The only thing I know is that cats are so gentle (usually) and beautiful just the way they are. I know there is so much pain in the world, illnesses that needs to be cured (but we still do not know how), and people who have the money, instead of contributing to the humankind, they put their money for stupid things like GLOWING CAT in the dark, or MICE that is NOT AFRAID OF CATS. Can someone help me understand the point here??? I don't know if the cats in the pictures below enjoyed the color and hair styling they got, but some looks quite cute. Would you do it to your kitty?

If You Love Your Pet - Register It!!

The most important thing to do after you get your pooch (or kitty) is to take them to the vat for checkup, get the vaccinations and talk to them about implanting chip with your address and other necessary information about your dog. Don't forget to register the pet with the authority and get the tag to be attached to the collar.
It all sounds like to much effort but ....read what happened to dog owner in NY.
They had their pooch for 7 years. One day the cute tiny dog was playing in the yard, the other minute he was gone. They looked for him all over the neighborhood, hanged flayers with his picture, promises $100 reward for the one who'll bring the dog home. Nothing.
After a while they find out that their dog was found and was taken to a shelter, the law says in NY that the shelter needs to wait 5 days before giving the stray dog for adoption. they did wait 7 days and then a new family adopted him.
Now the first owner can do nothing. Because there was no identification of any kind on the dog, he was treated as a stray dog.
Can you imagine the heartbreak it caused????
You maybe saying your dog is at home all day, he never runs away, or my cat is indoor cat. Well, so was this dog for seven years, and then in one second they lost him for good.
It only takes a vat visit to keep your pet with you .........and think about it.

Cat Talk - A Little history of Cats

No one know exactly when cat become domesticated, but there is a believe that it was in the 1600 B.C. Ancient Egyptians were the first to domesticate cats. They regarded cats as embodiments of the goddess. On the pyramid walls and other findings of the Egyptians artwork, we see the cat. The cats were buried in tombs with their masters.
Sailors, despite the Egyptian prohibition, smuggled cats to other countries. The people found the cats useful as hunters, especially against rats. Good solution to prevent disease like the Black- Plague in Europe at 11th century.
During the years, people moved from one place to another, accompanied with their cats and contributed to the expansion all over the world.
Even though the cats are domesticated for so long, they did not lost their hunting instincts and independence. Ask any cat owner and he'll tell you, that when his cat is awake he is very sensitive to any unusual noise, that he is chasing flies, mice, birds etc. When the owner call his cat name, sometime he'll come and sometime he becomes totally deaf...

Help Feed Neglected Animal - it is Only a Click Away.

A friend told me about this wonderful site and the great job they are doing for abandoned and neglected animals.
I am sure you'll be surprised how little you need to do, to make some pooch or kitty get their food. Not need to mention the feeling that only one click can feed six poor animals.
The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals.
It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "feed an animal in need" for free. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Click on this link, and when the site opens, click on the purple box that says Feed an Animal for free. That's it! Pass it along to people you know. And don't forget to go there and click. The address is http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com

OK pet lovers, I'll be away for the next two weeks. If you have comments or a story you'd like to share, please do so.

New Pups - Part 2

From the moment of birth, the mother takes care of all the little one need. She needs to be in a quite and calm environment, without disturbing her too much.
Immediately after birth the mother leeks the newborn to clean him, to separate the umbilical cord from the placenta and to stimulate and warms the puppies.
If any of the pups looks sick, or the mother ignore him, or the puppy is not feed you should call the vet.
The first tree weeks, the mother takes care of any need - feeding, licking, eliminate waste.
90% of the tree first week, the newborns spends in sleeping.
their eyes open around day 10, the ear canal open around the fifteen day and they become more responsive to their surroundings.
The mom should get more food then usual when she feeds her pups.
Both the mother and her newborns should visit the vet. If they all seems fine it does not need to be immediately, but if any of them looks sick do not delay. the mother can have infection, or other complication, and the puppies needs a complete checkup and vaccinations. The first vaccination at eight weeks, then the twelve, sixteen. Ask your vet for his advise.
Before they are immunize, keep them indoors, because they are vulnerable to infection and other diseases from the outdoors and other dogs.
Should you have any questions you need to talk with your vet.

Be Ready for New Pups - Part 1

The first thing to take in consideration is whether you can take car of new puppies. If not- it is irresponsible to allow your dog to become pregnant. Caring for puppies is a demanding commitment that should not be undertaken lightly.
Before giving birth:
*Have your vet phone number for any case.
*Prepare old towels, disinfected and warm water.
*when the mother begins to shiver and become restless, it's a sign the time has arrived. Also, *she'll pant and her body temp. drop two or tree degrees.
*After the first puppy arrives, the others should follow every eight to ten seconds.
When to call the vet:
*Two hours after contraction started and still no puppy.
* The mother does not deliver a placenta for each puppy.
*Mother become to weak or tired to manage the contractions.
*More then two hours after one puppy and still no sign of the next one.

Next time - taking care of new pups.
