Time passed and I was getting visitors too. True, just from outside, but I had a white fellow coming over every day. We would talk for long minutes, he would leave his smell for me and come and go all the time. I was on the inside of the window and it wasn’t the most comfortable window ledge I’ve been on before. My Mom however realized it soon, and she promised she would make it wider for me that I could fit and move easier. Soon enough I had my space widened and now I can just lounge there for hours. Thank you Mom!
My white male visitor soon left me for some reason. But never mind, there is always someone new. Or if not cats, then I can see birds, squirrels and other wild creatures. Just sitting in the sun is something that I also like, and when is good weather the window is always open, that I can enjoy it. Life is so good.
Once she told me the story, how she ended up adopting me. She said that on a Sunday night she was looking through websites for adoptable cats for hours. She selected four other cats out of the 480 she already looked through, then she said to herself: “This is it, the last page then I’m done”. Apparently I was the very last one on the bottom of the page, number 500. When she saw my face, she just knew that I was the one she wanted. She then called the adoption agency, however being Sunday, she could not get a hold of anybody. She left a message and the following day they returned her call.
This is when and how everything started. Then she still had to make her way all the way to Hamilton, that was over 100 kms from her home. But she said, she didn’t mind it, she would have come to pick me up even if I would have been further. Miracles happen all the time, right?? This is a miracle for me as I was rescued and given another chance from life. I am so happy now and grateful, full of life and joy.
Life at a foster home then came to an end one night. I remember, the doorbell rang and of course all the cats would run to see who it was, not me however. Then I heard a voice, a voice that was full of love, passion and care. And I realized that she was here for one of us. I thought, well, at least one less cat around me and one of us can start a new life. I was not even dreaming that would be me. But it was. She came to look for me as I was hiding beside the bed. I did not wanted her to touch me, but I guess I had no choice. This lovely lady picked me up and started talking to me in a very different language that I was used to so far.
She then asked me to jump into a black cat carrier, but that was the last place I wanted to be again. I was forced into it after all and my road trip started. It seemed the end of the world where we were heading, still, somehow I just felt that something good was coming. After about an hour (eternity for a cat believe me), I found myself in a nice cozy apartment, free from other cats. I didn’t know where to start exploring, I just kept meowing and thanking my new owner that she saved me.
Many people enjoy taking their dogs on vacation with them. While it is true that dogs are resilient, they need a few things for long car rides and trips, just like people do.
Perhaps the most important thing to pack for the dog is water and a bowl to put it in. A leash is also vital for walking the dog at every stop. A dog that is obedient off the leash at home is still likely to become nervous when travelling. This will stop the dog from running away, even if it becomes frightened. Dog food is also important and should be offered along with water during stops. Many dogs may not feel like eating during a trip though as it is a natural dog response. Keep some treats on hand to offer occasionally to get the dog through the drive.
Take the dog’s favorite bed or pillow and toys along on the trip. The pillow will come in handy in the car to give the dog a comfortable spot. However when travelling long distances with old dogs, small dogs, or puppies, consider a pet carrier that they are kept more safe, without being able to move around and eventually harm themselves.
Cats don’t always cry because of being hungry for food but in many cases they cry because of being hungry for a sexual partner. They cry because they want to have company. They may chatter or mumble as well. They should be listened and one must talk back as cats love when its master speak out a few comforting words to them.
Meowing can be a simple greeting too, however on rare occassions they may cry of boredom or when they get stressed if they are ignored. There are many ways though by which a cat can be stopped from crying, like setting up playful activities, not ignoring them, taking them for a walk, feeding them and brushing them regularly which shows them love and affection. They love all these things and can be satisfied with very little. So try to understand your cats language and both of you will be happier.

Dog toys are relevant to dogs no matter what breed they are. They help avoid boredom. There are different types of dog toys with different purposes. One type of dog toy is the active toys which are especially made of very hard rubber to sustain when dogs chew it. Then, there is a dog toy for distraction. This refers to toys that are to lure your dog away from some destructive activities. Toys for gaming, such as noise making toys and toys with an open cavity within them for interactive games are very popular as well. Comfort dog toys are soft stuffed toys that can give comfort to your dogs. In the absence of these toys, your dog might look for other things in your household to chew on that could be destructive or health threatening to them. Dog toys, beside entertainment and exercise, are also good to train them.

There are a number of reasons why small dogs are preferred among many owners. Unlike with medium and large dogs, you don’t have to worry about living in a small apartment, or not being able to handle them as you get older. Feeding them is much easier, and some of them can even be trained to use a litter box. They make great companions, and can accompany you almost anywhere. They can travel well, fit inside a two wheeled dog stroller that allows you to carry them easily. Small dogs want to be a part of the family and included in everything they do.
They are not always available at animal shelters and dog adoption agencies, however you can find different breeds at your local pet stores and dog breeders, as well as online.
Excitement towards adding a new cat to your home from your side is not questionable, however, for the cat you already own it can be very frustrating. As most cats are solitary by nature, it will take some time to accept or eventually tolerate any additions. Cats can be very territorial, which is why you should always be careful when you introduce a new cat to your current cat.
Temperament and personality are two characteristics that will affect the way the cats will accept each other. When you introduce a new cat to your current cat, you should always make sure that you give your current cat plenty of love and attention. Continue doing the same things with your current cat as he/she is used to. This way, your cat will feel secure and know that he/she isn’t in competition with your new cat for affection.
Introduce things you used to do with your current cat to the new cat step by step. Feeding them at the same time, playing with them together, taking them out for a walk simultaneously are important to keep them both happy and healthy.
