Cats and Stress It is a known fact that stress is a component of or the start of most common cat behavior problems and even some common diseases. Unlike other species cats tend not to show their emotions openly and instead they become quiet and withdraw in their anxiety. For owners to be able to help their cats they must be aware of the signs of stress in their cats. There are several physiological systems in a cat’s body which regulate stress.

the Huntsman. The arrogant teen smirked smugly. "How cute, a mutated rodent wants to take me on? Ha! Don’t make me laugh." The Pokémon glared sharply at his cocky attitude. "How about you run along you oversized battery charger before I sick my pet cat on you. Or better yet, do me a favor and charge my Scroll. I could always need a backup charger." An anime vein throbbed on the rodent’s forehead, strongly implying that the Electric-type’s patience has finally reached its end.…

What is Hole in the Trachea in Cats? The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is a tube made of cartilage that allows air to pass from the throat to the larynx to the bronchi in the lungs. When the trachea becomes perforated via a small hole or tear in the cartilage, the air that normally passes into the lungs goes into the surrounding tissues. This creates pockets of air under the skin, in the mediastinum (the area in-between the lungs), around the heart, in the chest cavity and in the…

Cats are a common house pet in America and feral cats are becoming a problem within the United States. Natalie Angier talks about this in her article “The Killer Cats Are Winning!” I think feral cats are becoming a problem and they should be euthanized. Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), does not work because it does not reduce the population and cats are still killing other animals, and cats should be kept indoors. Natalie Angier, discusses that we spend a lot of money on cats; nevertheless, cats are…

He peered over to the way the sound was coming from and saw a large, black, cat. Alan was petrified of black cats so badly, that he dashed to get to the open street. When he got to the open street, a sigh of relax hit him. Alan could hear someone calling his name but he didn’t quite know where it was…

I. The domestication of dogs and cats. history or some scientists belived that dogs and cats are the first animals to be domesticated. Cats were domesticated in the Near East about 10,000 years ago. And dogs have been our companions for 10,000 years probably just a little bit longer, in the histirical scheme of things, than cats. All 600 million house cats in the world can be traced back to five females of this species. They lived in forests before they moved into villages.…

Poor Mondee! Well, staying indoors three days straight can do that to you. You see, Mondee is an outdoor type of dog. The moment he wakes up, he would go outside to do his business and play! Chasing cats is the favorite exercise of Mondee. (Thank goodness the cat escapes every time!) Aside from his cat chasing morning routine, I also take Mondee for long walks, and some play time in the park. Unfortunately, exercise time becomes a problem when the rain starts pouring. The only thing Mondee is…

Dolls and Barbies were not my kind of toy as a child. However hand me some stuffed animals and a doctor's kit, and I'd happily play veterinarian. I'd lose myself for hours, carefully wrapping paws and tails in toilet paper casts and bandages. Knowing this, is it any wonder that suffering from a lack of actual flesh and blood furballs (due to our landlord's rule of no pets) I have 'adopted' several plushies? And me being me, I've anthromorphized them and they've become the pups and critters I…

are 7.6 million animals enter United States shelters every year; of those 3.9 million are dogs and 3.4 million are cats (Pet Statistics). With so many animals going into the shelter system, only 649,000 animals are returned to their owners, 542,000 dogs and only 100,000 cats (Pet Statistics). It seems that cats are the least likely to be returned to their owners with “less than 5% of cats who came in as strays are returned to their owners” (Pet Statistics). With the growing abandonment in the…
