In the beginning I was just exhausted from all the new stuff it was around me. I was up every morning at 4:00 a.m. , however I think my Mom did not like that at all. She would come and chase me, then just luck me up in a room till I calmed down, and it was a reasonable time for her to get up. It took me a while to get used to and respect the “new rules”, but I was happy again, and that all it mattered.
First few days when she left me alone in the house I cried for hours. I did not wanted to be alone, and felt a little insecure that she might never come back. As the days passed by, I got used to being left alone for hours. I stopped crying and I found better things to do, like looking out on the window, sleeping and playing with my favourite blue cotton ball. When she would come home, she would play with me with my ball or the laser pointer that I like so much, and brush me and talk to me without end. I just loved it.
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.
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.
Your dog is usually more than just an animal in your home. It is your beloved friend and family member. You will do everything for them to take care of every little need in their life. From his/her clothes and booties, collars and leashes, to his/her toys, food, bed and dog house. If you are planning to give him/her something special for his birthday or any other occasion, then what about a small dog stroller. It will be fantastic for your bellowed four legged friend to enjoy a ride in the stroller.
Small dog strollers are beneficial when carrying your dog to long distances, providing them safety and comfort at the same time. It could be very helpful for dogs that are sick and/or injured, old and/or weak. Little dogs cannot walk long distances, therefore a part of their journey can be covered in these strollers.
Before making a selection, consider your dog’s size and weight first. Then choose the type of stroller that fits your and your dogs needs the most. Lightweight strollers for easy handling, 3 in 1 strollers for convenient traveling, pet joggers for rougher terrain. Most are collapsible, requiring just a small storage space. For those pet owners who may have more than one dog there are the double-deckers or the twin-strollers, accommodating two dogs at a time. The wide color selection will also help you choose to your taste. Go for it.
Curiosity is a main behavior in a cat. Chewing on things, especially what they are not supposed to be chewing on it is fun and exciting for them, not for you though. The love to climb and explore is another habit that is hard to discipline. Jumping on kitchen counters it is simply not safe for your curious little cat, not to mention that it is entirely unsanitary.
So, what can you do to calm your cat down?? Well, it depends. You must teach them what is allowed and what is not. Be patient because they won’t learn from one day to another. Reward them occasionally if they had a good day. Give them treats, new toys, or new accessories that they can enjoy exploring instead of your household items. Be creative and open to new ideas that might just be the right one for your cat.

I was recently stopped by a neighbor while out for a walk with my pet stroller and congratulated on the new addition to my family. I was thankful for the attention, but when she then said she didn’t even realize I had been pregnant I couldn’t help but smile especially when the next sound we both heard was a loud meow coming from the stroller.
As my precious Diva meowed my only thought was where is my camera when I need it most because the expression on my neighbors face was priceless.
This wasn’t the first time that someone had approached me while I was out and about with my pink pet stroller, but it certainly was the strangest reaction I had ever encountered and made me wonder if anyone else who has a pet stroller has ever been approached in a similar manner.
I would love to hear from fellow pet stroller owners about your very own Kodak Moment and if you have any pictures to share I would love to see them.
