Why Cats are Superior to Dogs If you’ve ever thought about getting a pet and then later have finally narrowed it down to either a cat or a dog, get a cat and you won’t regret it. Here’s why: Cats are much less maintenance as a pet to take care of compared to dogs. They are also very beautiful creatures physically and emotionally. I believe that cats are superior to dogs as a pet. Firstly, it doesn’t take a lot of responsibility to take care of a cat. All you would need to do is feed, give water…

mammal. It appeared to be of the feline family and I determined it as nice. I chose this interesting lifeform because it appears to be so advanced but overlooked. After some quick research, my brother and I identified it as a domestic cat (whose name might be Jack). The cat has organs depicting him as a male but he doesn’t have any front claws which is very interesting. After observing his actions for a while, we noticed that he doesn’t pee or engage sexualy activity on random…

other as if they were old close friends. She tilted her head and examined them. There were stains scattered all over them, their fabric was a faded chocolate brown, their buttons were hanging by a frayed thread, the fabric was ripped and torn as if a cat did some kitty claw needle point. They made her feel as if they have been around forever. “Excuse me can you tell me how much those chairs cost?” Skye asked. An old creature of a…

Squirrels are one of the most adaptable creatures. They can be found in many different locations around the world and in different environments. While their natural habitat is forested areas, they have easily adapted to urban life. Trees, scrubs and debris are for the most part where squirrels build their nests.

Heath, 2005). Pheromones are detected by the vomeronasal organ, binding to pheromone-binding proteins in the olfactory tract, altering affective state via limbic system stimulation (Landsberg et al., 2013). Feliway diffusers provide reassurance to cats in stressful situations and decrease stress-related behaviours such as inappropriate urination and scratching (Bowen & Heath, 2005).

because declawing is abuse to cats. Why? Because, you are basically cutting off your finger at the first knuckle and for the cat, it’s the worst thing that could ever happen to them. Declawing is bad for cats because, it can cause lameness in the paw, arthritis, and other problems that are long-term. Cats usually put all their body weight onto their toes and when the toe is cut off, they have to put all that weight on their whole paw which is extremely painful to the cat. A lot of the time they…

symbols. In Sandburg’s poem, the title “Fog” is a symbol within itself. The title hovers over the poem just like fog does in nature. That cat mentioned at the beginning of the poem symbolizes how the fog approaches “on little cat feet” and then sits on “silent haunches” before “mov[ing] on” (Sandburg 899). The fog moves in the same way that a cat does and behaves like a cat, too, meaning its movements are unpredictable and mysterious. The reader is not sure where the fog is going or what it is…

prefrontal cortexes, but larger than ones of other animals. The cerebellum for both the fox and dog are about the same size and fairly large for an animal. The contrast of the red fox to the domestic dog is features they have that are more similar to a cat. Red foxes have pointed ears and almond shaped eyes. Although foxes are predators,…
