Missing Cats  A well-loved cat is part of the family and from time to time a cat will go missing, first of all when you have a cat or kitten you should keep them in for approximately a month old wife’s tail butter on paws this somehow works, they lick the butter off and walk around their home to realise this is where they belong, although cats choose their owners. Some of the reasons cats go missing, newborn, change in the house or new pet, cats generally do not like change, and they certainly do not like unease in the household they are very perceptive and can read emotions very well. If a cat feels very much at unease they will try and find another home that suits them and sometimes a cat will move in with a neighbour a few houses away and not come back. Cats should always be chipped and neutered this is for the health and the environment and in the case that a disaster happens you at least know, also it has been known for cats to get under a car and travel distances and be found many miles away so chipping an animal can result in your loving friend returning safe. It has been known for cats to travel miles and miles to get back to their owner and turn up years later, also getting a cat used to coming in the house in winter months and cooler nights of the year is very beneficial. Black cats are unlucky since they are more likely not to be seen by motorist also those people who do not like cats will not consider the well fare of the animal. It has been known at dusk for animals to go missing years ago an oriental take away in the Tamworth area was closed because of cats hanging on hooks and skins left to dry. There are also barbaric sports where cats are put to suffer so aiming at getting your cat in at night has many benefits. People who have birds and do not like cats can have sprinkler systems or put ginger, lemon pepper about cats do not like scratching near strong citrus peel or pepper. Cats that are sprayed with the hose or water know they are not welcome and will soon get the message. Do understand all animals have feelings like us and will go to where they are welcome.

Cuteness goes into overload with puppies, kittens or any small animal. It is a fact that dogs do love us and want to be with us – provided of course we are kind to them and care for them too. It is a two-way street. Just like them, we thrive on love. Having a dog does indeed help you with anxiety and stress. This is proven - this is why there are therapy dogs that go into particular places, like hospitals. Interacting with a dog – helps you to be calm and to heal. This means that love helps you heal. So, take your mind away from what distresses you, and focus on love and fun: just like a puppy. #mentalhealth #mentalwellbing #health #selfcare #giveyourselfabreak #healingjourney #aussieauthor #Adelaide #griefjourney #relax #funfact #anxietyrelief #pettherapy

#UsdanPetTips As you prepare for Easter celebrations, remember to safeguard your beloved pets: 🌸 Opt for pet-safe flowers; avoid Easter lilies, as they are highly toxic to cats. 🍫 Keep pets away from the Easter egg hunt to prevent them from ingesting toxic treats. 🌿 When assembling Easter baskets, choose paper grass instead of cellophane to prevent an intestinal blockage. 🐰 Consider a soft toy bunny instead of adopting a live one. Rabbits make wonderful pets but require careful consideration and preparation before welcoming them into your family.

When you see a dirty cat. This is important information to know about why cats look dirty. Cats can tolerate hunger for up to a week on average, but cannot go no more than 2-3 days without water. Cats are usually very clean, they groom themselves several times a day. If you see a cat that does not look clean, it is DEHYDRATED and has been so for many days. Their saliva glands are not functioning properly because they require moisture to groom their fur. If you see a stray cat that looks dirty, DO NOT turn the other way or see it as disgusting, because it is suffering and probably hasn't had anything to eat or drink in a long time. Find kindness in your heart to give it food and WATER. The life of a homeless animal is not an easy one. It lives in constant fear of other animals and humans, and it has never known the comfort of a soft bed or a restful night’s sleep. Helping a less fortunate being is the opportunity for you to become a better person and to make this a better world.

"...dogs and cats living together...Mass hysteria!" I once read that dogs like to sleep with you at night because they want to protect you, ensure you're alright. Cats, on the other hand, share the bed because they look to you as their protector. As someone who shares the bed with two cats and two dogs on any given night, I think it's an interesting dynamic, besides just a battle of who gets the warmest spot on the heated mattress pad. Our work families/teams are an awful lot like dogs and cats living together...we need to protect our people, make sure they are treated well and ensure they feel valued. Just as we need to also feel protected in return. Don't doubt it for a minute, you are someone's cat AND someone's dog - you get the best of both worlds. So yes, dogs and cats can (and should) live together. We're better off for it. #peoplebeforeprofessionals #catsanddogs #teamwork
