The 4 Peculiarities of Cats

4 Peculiarities of Cats

If you haven't raised a cat yet, then in your mind, the cat may be a perfect pet, with a cute appearance and a gentle personality, like a healing little angel.

But in fact, the cat is not as sensible as you think, it is also a "quirk". Those strange behaviors of the cat, in addition to annoying you, will also bring you laughter!

Everyone who has cats at home knows that when you go to the bathroom, the cat will always be waiting outside the door. Some grumpy cats even keep slamming the door. This is actually a show of the cat's love, because it feels that there is a lot of toilet water, and is afraid of your drowning inside.

The cat "not like to drink water" is a problem for many owners. When you see your cat eating meat and not drinking water, you will be very worried that its body is prone to problems, but in fact the cat will take enough water from different places other than the water basin.

Curiosity is a kind of characteristics that cats are born. When they see a small item on the table, they can't help but push it down to satisfy their "queer" mentality.

The Animals Also Drink

Animals Also Drink

A badger was drunk by nine bottles of beer in the summer heat and fell on the grass. When the shelter staff found it, it was surrounded by seven empty beer bottles. Later, two empty bottles were found in the bushes. It seems that animals also love alcohol. Do you know which animals are alcoholics?

A Russian man deliberately placed a bowl of vodka in the window to stop the squirrel from climbing up the tree and eating walnuts. Unexpectedly, the squirrel drank it.

A man in the United States poured a glass of wine for the dog to try.As a result, the dog was "very drunk" .

The amount of alcohol monkeys drink is even more surprising! Similar to human beings, monkeys in India have become accustomed to stealing alcohol and drinking, which has almost become a form of entertainment.

Horses are also very forthright when they drink wine, and they have existed since ancient times.

The "Elves" of South Georgia

The "Elves" of South Georgia

South Georgia, about 160 kilometers long and 32 kilometers wide, has long been one of the most beautiful places on the planet. It has five mountains and glaciers over 2100 meters above sea level. It also has dark green grasslands and deep fjords and beaches. There are many lovely "elves" on the island.

Seals. Captain James Cook, after visiting South Georgia in 1775, mistook it for the Antarctic continent he was looking for. In his report, he faithfully described it as an "island of ice". In his report, he also mentioned the surprising number of seals here, which is the fate of the seals.

Birds. Albatrosses and Southern Petrels settled on South Georgia Island. Near the nest, you can see a large number of female albatrosses flying low over the island. Their flirtation causes the males to send out low courtship signals.

Krill, especially its juveniles, rely on sea ice for winter, while in the past few decades, the ice in some areas of Antarctica has been shrinking (although on the whole, it has been growing slowly). Over the past 50 years, the waters west of the Antarctic Peninsula have been warming several times faster than the global average.

The king penguin is the second tallest penguin. It is about a foot shorter than the emperor penguin. Like other penguins, it sheds its feathers once a year and replaces them with new feathers. During my stay on the island, 10% to 15% of adult king penguins are in this transition period.

Things that Dogs Like to Do

Things that Dogs Like to Do

1.Making Its Bed

Dogs are comfort lovers just like people are, and they’ll try to make their resting area just the way they want it to relax.By doing this, the dogs got their scent on the area, signaling to other animals that they’d claimed some territory for themselves. They also exposed the cooler ground below the grass somewhat, which helped them regulate their body temperatures.

2. Swimming

A dog who does a cannonball into the pool or lake isn’t necessarily trying to play lifeguard, though.Many breeds truly love the water and are happy to use a good swim as a fun exercise alternative to their afternoon walk.In fact, many vets recommend it as an activity for older dogs that often have issues with their joints.Swimming is also good on hot summer days because it helps your dog stay cool.

3.Doing Puzzles

Dog experts agree that behavioral issues such as emptying the trash are often a sign of boredom.Most dogs are happier when you give them puzzles, which keep their minds active and help them pass the time.Certain types of puzzles also can help your dog work out excess energy so he stays fit and sleeps better.One of the most common puzzles dogs love is the food puzzle, which you should use to feed your dog at least one of its meals.

4.Eating in Private

Many dog owners mistakenly think dogs are just like people when it comes to social eating.People tend to come together to eat, even if it’s just for a quick bite on a break at work.The way they eat is based on the alpha hierarchy, however, with the pack leader usually playing dominance and getting first fruits.To a domesticated dog, you are the alpha, so Fido might feel more comfortable eating in a private space where it knows you’re not going to lay claim to its grub.

5.Listening to Music

Dogs are especially well known for their sense of smell, but they have a great sense of pitch, too.In fact, when dogs howl, they pay special attention to what other dogs sound like, purposely changing their tone so they are heard as unique.Dogs might not “sing” the way people do, but their sense of pitch does affect how they hear music, and it influences their mood in the same way experts believe it influences the emotions of people.

Beautiful Ragdoll

Beautiful Ragdoll

The puppet cat's body hair is medium-long, not tangled, and has a smooth texture. Its tail is fluffy, its neck usually has a "neck" and its hip hairs are longer. Regular grooming can make the puppet cat feel very comfortable. Puppy cats are one of the most beautiful purebred cats with distinctive monochrome or bichrome hairs.

Puppy cats are very relaxed and soft, like soft puppets. The cat has a large body, long body, muscular, broad chest, short neck and a long development period. It takes about 4 years for the kitten to fully develop and mature. It is characterized by large and wedge-shaped head, flat top of head, dark blue eyes, round kiss, slightly depressed short nose, some face with "V" shaped markings, long neck hair, belonging to long-haired cats.

Puppy cats are unusually gentle and suitable for indoor rearing. In general, they should be sterilized and provided with appropriate living environment, such as cat scratch board to adapt to their scratching habits, etc. These are the basic conditions to maintain their health, longevity and happiness.

Puppet cats are good at flattering their owners. They are always around their owners. This kind of cat likes quiet, but also likes playing with toys and participating in daily life at home.

Puppy cats are strict indoor cats. Don't let them out for free. Outside stray cats, dogs and birds may hurt them. Puppy cats are gentle and clever, but they are also cats. The cat is very proud and will run away from home in a fit of temper. It behaves badly. So the owner should pamper it properly, but not completely let it go, otherwise the cat's bad habits can not be corrected, and over time it will not be corrected.

What is a Seabird?

What is a Seabird?

Seabird is a kind of bird that can adapt to the marine climate environment. It is different from other birds in terms of living habits, attitude and physiological operation. It has a strong convergence evolution, so the ecological positions of all seabirds are very similar.

The species of seabirds first appeared in the Cretaceous, nearly 100 million years ago, but has little to do with modern seabirds. If we talk about the ancient ancestors of modern seabirds, it can be traced back to the Paleogene, and it has been tens of millions of years.

Generally speaking, seabirds live longer and breed later than other birds, and have the problem of population aging, but they enjoy their youth more. Most species of seabirds live together, dozens at a time and millions at a time. Most of them migrate regularly every year, and it is not uncommon for them to travel long distances across the red or around the earth.

It can forage on the surface of the ocean or underwater, but when it cannot forage, it may cannibalize. No matter in the ocean, the coast, or even in the land and air, we can fly for a long time without hindrance.

There are many kinds of seabirds. There are more than 9,000 species of birds in 156 families. There are 81 families and 1186 species in China, accounting for 14% of the world's bird species. They are more than those in India and Australia, and more than those in Europe and North America. They are the countries with the largest number of birds in the world.

Tips for Introducing Two Dogs

Tips for Introducing Two Dogs

A friend or other family member is needed for this crucial first step, each of you handling a different dog. You’ll want to introduce the dogs to each other in a neutral territory, so choose a place your existing dog doesn’t normally walk or play, such as a dog park you haven’t visited before. When Fido doesn’t think he has to protect his territory, he’s more apt to welcome the advances of a new dog. Don’t introduce a new dog in the current dog’s home!

Keeping the humans between the dogs on a long walk after their time together in a dog park is the next step to creating a successful multi-dog family. With both dogs on leash and with people forming a barrier between them, they have the chance to get used to each other’s company without stress.

After the walk, it’s time to introduce the new dog to his new home. The order in which you enter the house is very important. People go first, current dog goes next, and new dog takes up the rear. This creates an atmosphere of invitation rather than invasion.

Not all dogs are alpha dogs. Sometimes the current dog will happily allow the newcomer to take over as the boss, once he is established in the home. However, it is imperative that you allow the dogs themselves to make that decision, rather than automatically trying to install the first dog as the leader. In my home, our oldest dog doesn’t want to be the pack leader, and is perfectly happy to let someone else have that position—after he has welcomed the stranger on his own terms.

Be sure to feed dogs separately, preferably in crates or in different rooms. Don’t expect them to eat from the same bowl, share the same bed, or play with the same toys. The same is true of giving them raw bones or high-value treats; resource guarding should be prevented rather than trying to correct this difficult and potentially dangerous behavior.

Best Dog Breeds for Families

Best Dog Breeds for Families

1.Cavalier King Charles spaniel

“The Cavalier King Charles spaniel is a wonderful family pet; a gentle, calm dog, who is happy to be combed and brushed,” says Dr. Emmett on why this pup is one of the best dogs for kids. “This breed is, however, less enthusiastic about games, such as tug of war, and rough-and-tumble play. King Charles spaniels are a good match for a more urban lifestyle and a sensitive child.

2.Golden retriever

“The golden retriever is one of the most well-known dogs because of their gentle, caring temperaments. They are able to lounge around the house for an afternoon or take a hike through the woods,” says Pete Lands, DVM, director of emergency and critical care at Saint Francis Veterinary Center. Goldens are very bright and easy to train. They’re also stoic when it comes to kids. “

3.Labrador retriever

They look large-and-in-charge, but Labs are famously child-friendly. “The Labrador retriever is a reliable family pet,” says Dr. Emmett. “This breed has an insatiable appetite for games and play and is well suited for an active outdoor lifestyle and a child who likes to run, throw balls, and play Frisbee.”

4.Rescue dogs

Don’t let worries about their past turn you off to shelter dogs. Many rescue dogs, who are waiting for their forever home, are gentle, loving, and grateful to be found by a wonderful family with kids, plus, some have even already been potty-trained. “Most shelters arrange ‘meet-and-greet’ times, where you and your child can interact with prospective pets so you can find the right fit for your family,” says Dr. Emmett.

5.Beagle

Cute as a button, sweet, and gentle, these pack animals thrive on companionship. According to the American Kennel Club, these charmers are among the best dogs for kids because they are loving by nature, love to play, and have goofy personalities. If you want a dog who wants to be with people, this is a great breed for your family. Pass beagles up, however, if your house is always empty during the day.

Safe Plants for Cats

Safe Plants for Cats

Add zinnias to your no-nonsense list of hard-performing annual flowers, and rest easy knowing that they aren't toxic to your pets, either. If you've only experienced the mildew-prone old fashioned varieties of zinnia, try the 'Zahara' series, which offers months of disease-free color on compact plants. Giving zinnias a full day of sunshine and adequate spacing also reduces mildew outbreaks.

The African violet has been a favorite houseplant for generations, and new cultivars will give you a reason to rediscover the merits of this plant. Ruffled flowers and picotee blossoms appear on plants that appreciate the same temperatures we do. The fuzzy leaves don't produce any harmful substances known to harm cats or dogs.

If the fancy fronds of the areca palm tempt your cat to swat and bite, you won't need to worry about digestive upset ruining your pet's evening. Also known as the butterfly palm, this houseplant is native to Madagascar and thrives in warm temperatures and high humidity. However, they don't require much water or light, and the areca palm does an excellent job of purifying the air, making it healthier for both you and your pet.

The winter and very early spring blooms of the camellia help it fill a niche in the landscape when little else is happening. The rich dark green glossy leaves are handsome when camellias are out of bloom, but the prolific rose-like flowers are a stunning centerpiece when they appear beginning in November. Both leaves and flowers are non-toxic to cats and dogs.Camellias live for decades, so choose their planting site carefully. They like a sheltered spot with afternoon shade, good garden loam.

You can grow pet-friendly bouquets with the lovely blue blooms of the bachelor's button, an easy annual for the sunny garden. Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost, or sow them directly in average soil; it takes about 80 days to get from seed to bloom. Leave the spent blooms in place for volunteers, and to nourish gold finches, which love the oil-rich seeds.
