Cat breeds

pets are euthanized, simply because there is no place for them. Each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. There is an overpopulation crisis among dogs and cats all over the world. Simply put, there are too many pets, and not enough homes for them. Overpopulation of pets causes many different problems, such as many animals being put to sleep, inbreeding which can cause congenital defects in their…

were full of food. She said that the children dropped crumbs under their chairs and that there was always food to eat. There were cracks near the floor where mice would hide and build their nests in the wall. Then she would scare us with stories about cats and something called a mouse trap that sounded really scary. The little mice thought she was trying to scare them by making up a story like…

I have an extraordinary cat named Whisker. Whisker is not an average cat. She weighs considerably more than the average 14-pound cat, has manicured paws, and from the tip of her nose to the end of her tail she has orange striped fur with a tint of brown on her left front leg. She irritates me quite often around breakfast time by nudging my leg with her head. This is how I know that she wants to be fed. Her food of choice is the chicken flavored 9 Lives' cat food. On the other hand, I don't have…

Though don’t get me wrong just like you, I also like my solitude where I can relax and take a nap or even just look out the window. I’m still a fairly young cat, and still like to run around and play with toys such as balls, strings, toys covered in cat nip from time to time. I came into the shelter as a stray, so I’m not sure if I was an indoor cat in my past, but I am litter box trained,…

Pure-bred Sprague Dawley rats (brown laboratory rats) are to be used in this experiment. These rats are preferred due to known calmness and ease of handling. To reduce variability, rats of the same weight, age, and gender will be chosen. Thirty-seven ADHD rats and thirty-seven non-ADHD rats will be chosen. This provides a sample size large enough to produce statistically significant values. Because there is no physical biological marker for rats with ADHD, behavioral symptoms must be…

The house itself appeared as if it was ready to fall down. The roof had plastic covering parts of it, and was flapping in the breeze. There was furniture on the porch, and as we got closer I noticed several cats running to get away from us. There was a terrible smell of urine and feces coming from the open door. Barb knocked and an obese man answered the door. He had no shirt on, and his jean shorts were stained. He told us to meet him in the backyard. We made our way around the several broken…

Three cats sat on the edge of the river just upstream of the waterfall. They watched as a fourth cat approached, stalking delicately across the shaggy moss that covered the riverbank. Starlight sparkled at her paws and misted on her gray-blue fur. The newcomer halted and raked the waiting cats with an icy blue stare. “In the name of all Clans, why did you choose to meet here?” she demanded, irritably shaking one forepaw. “It’s far too wet, and I can’t hear myself think.” Another she-cat, with…

It may be more difficult to evacuate with a pet but they are just as much a part of your family as kids are. You have to feed them, bathe them, take them to the doctor’s, walk them, discipline them (sometimes), and love them. Just like kids; dogs, cats, and other domestic…

Until one fortunate day. It was raining cats and dogs outside of the Los Angeles Shelter. It was a humid, cold, rainy day, with a slight breeze. One young couple, Laura and John Swanson, stumbled inside to find respite from the rain. “Look at the rain!” exclaimed Laura. “The rain is extraordinary for this time of year!” John replied. Since the couple was waiting for the rain to settle down, they decided to observe the animals. “I favor dogs over cats,” suggested the…
