Pet Stroller Info

So, before I tell you more stories of my life, let me introduce myself.  My name  is Diva Princess and I was born in April of 2006.  I’m not sure  who and when gave  me this name, but apparently suits me very much.  Well, you know, I do have an  attitude, I do like things my way and I like  to be treated like a Princess.  I like to  be pampered, however I have my  limits. Sometimes it feels good to be petted  forever, sometimes I just  don’t need it.

I am a clean cat who does not go for the second time in the litter box if  it’s not  cleaned.  I am also very finicky when it comes to food, which of  course I know that causes lots of headache to my mom.   Mom?? Did I just say that??  Well, you know, I love her, she saved my life, and she always shows me enormous amount of love, so I figured I just call her Mom.

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.

Another few days must have passed by in the shelter, as I went through a lots of  examination, they gave me needles that scared me to death, washed me, shaved  me in a few places, and I really didn’t know where was all this leading to.   Then one  day, I was taken out from the cage, placed in a carrier, put in a vehicle and driven  to a house.  The lady was very nice, she kept talking to me, saying whatever she  was saying, but when we arrived at her house, hell started.   She had seven more  cats, as I finally understood that I was just placed to a foster home.

I am a nice cat, but I don’t really like other cats.  I prefer to play with my own toys  and a human, rather than more cats.  I was frightened, angry, scared and I just  wanted to die.  And as much as I didn’t like the others they all wanted to play with  me, or just pick on me.  I could not sleep, eat, and go to the washroom without  being followed by at least two or three of them.  It was bad, bad and bad.  But I had no choice.  At least I had a roof over my head, I had food and the lady tried her best to make my life easier.

There was one of those days you know….I got lost…How?  Why?  Where?  Only  God knows… Then a good person found me and brought me to the shelter.  It  must have been in 2008, because they were telling everyone I was 2 years old.  A  two years old, spayed Himalayan.   They put me in a small cage, gave me some  food and said: “Don’t worry, someone will take you”.  I did not really care, I was  too scared, hungry, cold and disappointed.  What was going to happen with me, I  did not know, I just hoped for the best.

I remember just couple of days before I wondered away (or was I thrown out?), I  had my own bed, plenty of food, a person who always talked to me and I talked  back…I had a good life, but for some reason all of a sudden everything changed.  Now I was in a small cage, in a shelter, surrounded by other cats, dogs, all complaining for something.  It was so much noise I could not even sleep.  I did not say a word, because I knew nobody would listen anyways.

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.

Pet identification is highly required in these days and can be done in many ways.  The identification of your pet may be done by personalized tags, some times by the municipal license tag, rabies tag, and more.  Nowadays also many electronic gadgets are available like microchips which are embedded into the dog for a very accurate and fast identification.  Most of the time though, you’ll be using tags where your telephone number and your name will be added. Therefore if anybody encounters your missing dog accidentally, they will become capable of reporting the facts to you or any officials.

Plastic and metal pet identification tags are available in multiple colors dog owners can choose from.  Many seem to select the reflective type of dog tags along with the collars to hence the visibility of the dogs even in darkness. Make sure your dog wears one for their safety and which also will give you a piece of mind as well.

Everybody who owns a cat must agree that one common thing you will  inevitably see your cat do is push their head into anything that will  support the weight: furniture, piles of paper and your hand or your legs.  The reason for all this is the same: the cat is trying to “own” the various  things by putting their saliva on them.  When your cat rubs the side of  his mouth against things, he’s putting a little bit of saliva on it, creating a  scent that will then be familiar and comforting to them.  They act the  same way with visitors you might have, putting some scent on them to  know they belong to the house after all.

Another thing indoor cats love to do is lounging near windows  meowing, flicking their tail violently, knocking down whatever is on or  near the window ledge.   They are simply acting out their hunting instinct on whatever creatures, leaves, or falling objects they see outside.  If you want to see their playful behavior play out in full, drag an object on the ground with a piece of string and watch them go crazy to try and pounce it.  You’ll see very similar behaviors to what they show at the window ledge.  It is a normal and healthy behaviour.  Play with your cats in this way to give them exercise and to let them pounce around.

These are just two of the many common behaviors you’ll see out of your cat in the years of owning one.  By understanding why your cat behaves this way, you’ll be able to keep your cat happier and healthier.

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.
