The dominance of male cats is decided by the following; the bigger, stronger and younger cat wins his place in the hierarchy. He does not always have to fight to work his way up the ladder, because older or weaker cats may submit peacefully; nor does any one cat have to fight every other cat in a group where the hierarchy has been well established. As he matures, a strong young cat may become dominant to one who was dominant to him previously, therefore working his way up the ladder. At the same time, an aging cat will likewise work his way down. In any group of feral cats, the most dominant will be a male. Dominance in wild-living female cats is usually, though not always, linked to the number of...

Ancient Chinese proverbs have taught us that beauty is only skin deep. By delving deeper into the soul of a person, you will learn if they are really beautiful. In the movie "The Truth about Cats and Dogs", Ben Chaplin's character said: "You know how someone's appearance can change the longer you know them? How a really attractive person, if you don't like them, can become more and more ugly; whereas someone you might not have even have noticed... that you wouldn't look at more than once, if you love them, can become the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?" This is true because real beauty glows from within and is a matter of perception. You do not need to spend a great amount of money for beauty...

Does your cat suffer from bad breath (also known as 'feline halitosis')? If so, you know how uncomfortable it can be when friends who visit are repelled by your cat's breath. Even more important than the social implications, however, is the fact that feline halitosis can be an indication that your cat may be suffering from some dental or digestive disorders. Any changes in your cat's diet can create digestive problems for your cat, so this should be the first consideration. If you've modified your cat's diet, a change back to its original dietary regimen may resolve the problem. If your cat's diet has not changed, the next step would be to check inside your cat's mouth. Bad breath is most often...

Cat owners know for a fact that bad cat breath can be downright awful. It isn't that much different from bad human breath, as both are caused by bacteria found in the mouth that breaks protein down and releases the sulfur compounds out into the air. Sulfur smells really bad on its own, which is why breath containing it smells bad as well. The bacterium that causes bad breath with cats is normally associated with a buildup of tartar around the teeth. Tartar is yellow in color, known as a coating of bacteria, food, and minerals. To cure your cat from bad breath, you'll need to remove the buildup of tartar. There are several cat foods out there that are designed to reduce the buildup of tartar, many...

A show-quality Persian has an extremely long thick coat, short legs, a wide head with the ears set far apart, large eyes, and an extremely foreshortened muzzle. The breed was originally established with a short (but not non-existent) muzzle, but over time this feature has become extremely exaggerated, particularly in North America, and Persians with the more extreme brachycephalic head type are prone to a number of health problems (specifically affecting their sinuses and breathing) caused by it. However, conscientious breeders eliminate this by careful choice of breeding stock with more moderate head type, as the stated goal of most breeders is first and always healthy cats. Keeping them indoors is...

With good veterinary care, an indoor lifestyle, cooperative genes and a pinch of luck, cats can sometimes live to the age of twenty years or more. Aging, however, brings with it both physical and behavioral changes which, if ignored, may challenge even the most well-meaning of human companions. As cats grow old, their bodies change internally as well as externally. Almost all body systems are affected by aging. Lifelong activity leads to joint inflammation or osteoarthritis, which can stiffen and slow cats as it does humans. Important physiological functions taken for granted over the course of a decade may start to slow or malfunction. Kidney disease is a common affliction of old cats, as is...

They are also confident in themselves that they view every comfortable house a nice place to settle in. All cats of all kinds, whether a fine cat of pure breed or just a street cat, may visit and eventually live in your house without you knowing that she is pregnant. With this unexpected news by an unexpected tenant, you now have the responsibility of taking care of her and the wellbeing of her kittens. But let us focus our scope on the pregnant pet cat that you have and are willing to spend effort and money on for your pet cat's and kittens' welfare. Cats of superior breed are carefully...

The same system can be used with cats and dogs, but after a week or so of eating at opposite sides of the door, a face to face meeting, with the dog on a lead, in the same room, can take place. Make sure the dog obeys its commands to 'Sit', 'Stay', etc., and have the two animals at first on opposite sides of the room with the cat held on somebody's lap. Titbits should be proffered all round. This scenario should be repeated many times until there is no sign of aggression or fear from either party, the cat in particular not struggling to get away. Then the two animals can slowly and progressively over a number of meetings be brought closer to one another. The dog should be praised and rewarded for...

In 1975, the original musical "A Chorus Line" made history with its original and inspiring story of 17 dancers who were auditioning for a Broadway musical production. It is a story of how these dancers toiled and tried hard to get the coveted parts which eventually only eight dancers would get. The original production ran for 15 years and in its tenure it won several awards such as the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for the Best Musical as well. A Chorus Line was revived on the Broadway stage in 2006 and is still as successful as it used to be in its earlier run. It is the same story of the ambitious dancers hoping to make their mark on the Broadway stage. The way they all give their heart and...

There are about 100 million pet cats in the Western world. The most popular is a combination of different breeds - the domestic shorthaired cat. The Cat Fancier's Association (CFA) holds the largest registry of pedigree cats in the world. A pedigree is the product of two parents from the same breed. Let's take a look at the top ten most popular cat breeds of 2006, according to the CFA. 1. THE PERSIAN Number one since the CFA first started keeping records in 1871! Although Persians are high-maintenance and need grooming every day, this is more than compensated for by their affectionate and loyal personality. 2. THE MAINE COON This enormous all-American cat has been in second place since 1992...

Whether it be by car, by train, by airplane or boat, it's not always easy to travel with your cat. It is necessary to always arrange certain things in advance - the tickets, an adequate kennel, tranquilizers, and water - in order to assure him maximum comfort and avoid any irregular meowing during the many hours of travel... Cat shows, week ends in the family cabin, or big vacations... For a civilized chat, the opportunities to travel are seldom missed. A worthy master who deserves to be called such will always plan ahead so that his animal experiences the transportation in the best of conditions.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas has quietly emerged as the classic Christmas story of the 21th century. While the work has always been a success among children, it has recently been recognized for its brilliance and its appeal in today's world. The New Christmas Carol Before How the Grinch Stole Christmas hit the scene big time, it was the classic Dickens story, A Christmas Carol that many people referred to as a story to suit the season. Today however, times have changed somewhat. While it is still a well-loved story, the time has certainly come for a different tale to rule the roost. That place has been occupied by the story about a Grinch. How The Grinch Stole Christmas is seen by many people as a...

If " dog is man's best friend, " then why does our language have so many expressions that portray dogs in a negative light ? English abounds with sayings that focus on canine aggression or the sadness of "a dog's life, " at the mercy of cruel human "masters. " Many of these date from past centuries when life in English-speaking nations was truly more harsh than it is today, and little thought was given to animal suffering. It's interesting to examine our myriad dog references in everyday sayings from the past, and to appreciate whatever advances human society has made since then in its treatment of other creatures. Let's begin with metaphors of aggression which stem, no doubt, from behaviors...

Cats are curious by nature. Because of their curious nature, it is easy for cats to ingest poisons that can cause them to become very ill. Without proper treatment, a cat could die from poisoning. Cat owners should be conscious of the types of materials around the home that can poison a cat. Household chemicals, plants, trees and shrubs can all cause a cat to become ill. When you think your cat has ingested a poisonous material, it is helpful to your vet if you can inform what has made the cat sick. If your cat goes outdoors, sometimes it is impossible to know what the cat has taken in. Here are some typical plants and household chemicals that can make your cat ill. There are certain plants, trees...

Bonnie Springs, Nevada is absolutely beautiful and it takes you back in time to the Wild West and a mining town. You can place yourself in this time period and just imagine how it might have been to live in the 1880's. The Bonnie Springs Ranch is a replica of a mining town that existed more than a hundred years ago and visiting it today is simply outstanding. The amazing thing is that this old mining town is located just 30 minutes away from the big flashy city of Las Vegas. This city embodies today and the future with the glittering and shining lights and there is little about this party city that would indicate that just a few miles down the road is a perfect remnant of the past, of the Wild West...

Siamese coloring includes only the seal point, the chocolate point, the blue point and the lilac point. Any cat with coloring other than seal, chocolate, blue or lilac is considered a Colorpoint Shorthair. Colorpoint Shorthairs include the lovely flame point, the lynx point and the torti point. In Britain, all color variations are considered Siamese. All Siamese cats are descended from the seal point, which is the dominant color. The breed standard for the seal point is a fawn to cream body and dark brown, almost black points. The points are...

The debate over feeding your beloved pet from your dinner plate has been around for years. I think is all boils down to the question, "What type of table food, and how much is ok?" Most veterinarians I have talked to agree that it's ok to give your pet a very small portion of table food as long as they; A.) are low in fat, B.) are low in sugar, C.) are not bones. Bones; (such as ribs and steak bones) tend to become dry and brittle when cooked, which can cause them to splinter. Chicken, and other fowl bones, are hollow - which make them great for flight - but can cause them to splinter if eaten. Never give you pet candy, spicy food, or fat trimmed off your steak - if so, you are just asking for...

Most of us like to have pets at home, especially kids who get excited about the idea of having a pet at home. There are some pretty common pets that are usually seen in most houses and they are dogs, cats, rabbits etc. Dogs are preferred because they guard their master, and the house, and will never tolerate anyone misbehaving with their master.

Keeping those animals in our lives healthy means that critter will be in our life for longer living a high quality of life. In addition, a healthier animal will not cost as much because of veterinarian costs. All forms of four legged critters would benefit from the MSM supplementation many humans are now experiencing themselves. The great thing is that they get the same benefits as us with the same safe results. Four legged critters suffer from the same arthritis and pans associated with aging. As animals age, they will get those aches and pains, and not all animals can be treated successfully. MSM supplements afford that four legged critter to get around like he or she did when he or she was just a...

Like many older breeds, the origin of the Maine Coon is unclear and steeped in rumor. Some believe Maine Coons, also known as American Longhair, American Shag, American Forest Cat, American Snughead and Maine Trick Cat, are a cross between semi-domestic wild cats and raccoons (doubtful if not impossible). Others believe that Marie Antoinette sent her beloved Angoras to America for safety. They escaped and inbred with wild cats. Still others believe a cat was brought to Maine by Captain Coon and the cat escaped to live in the wilds of Maine. Whatever the origins, it is generally agreed that the Maine Coon is the one of the oldest Native American breed of cat and they were an established domestic and...

Bred in Japan, many years ago. The Japanese Akita is not a suitable dog as a normal family pet. It was originally bred in the Akita Prefecture in Japan, as a hunting dog, for deer, wild boar and even bears. For this purpose, it required to be a large, strong dog with confident, dominant tendecies and an independent nature. The Akita is also known as Akita Inu, which is Japanese for dog.

Shorthair felines, British Shorthairs belong to Britain. The cats evolved centuries ago when Romans brought cats from their homeland and those cats mated with wild cats of Britain. With time the British Shorthairs came to being. However, it was not until the later half of nineteenth century that these felines started appearing in cat shows and began to be formally recognized. Originally they were accepted only in blue color and were thus known as British Blue. With time though other colors were given formal recognition and the name changed to the current one. British Shorthairs are somewhat large sized with a muscular physique. They have strong chest, shoulders and legs and are known to possess...

The emotional life of cats, in some ways, may even be richer than a person's, because they have no inhibitions about what they feel. In a short period of time, a cat can go from contentedness to anger to desire to affection. True, studies show that people with pets live a bit longer and have better blood pressure than benighted non-owners, but in the literal sense, we don't really need all those dogs and cats to survive. One of the things we love about cats is watching them play. Kittens love playing but don't know yet how to control their sharp claws and teeth. Also children can unknowingly be a little rough with a kitten and may cause it harm. Kitten s obtained after 12 weeks may be more...

Human beings have been living with their dogs since the time we first began to domesticate wild wolves. They are our companions, our protectors, and - thanks to our ongoing partnership - our dogs are living longer. Improved diet, vaccinations and veterinary care all add to greater longevity and increased quality of life. However, the same diet that gives your dog the energy and nutrition it needs to grow and develop as a puppy, can become a detriment as your pet reaches its later years. Generally speaking, your dog will begin to undergo significant physiological changes as it enters the last third of its normal life expectancy. This spectrum of changes can include: arthritis, cognitive issues...

In order to understand what cats like to play with, you need to first understand the nature of you cat. We call cats pets but actually 90% of their nature is still "wild". Cats don't "think", they act in most cases on their natural instincts. Cats can be categorized as "sneakers and hunters". They hunt birds, mice and other small animals. Their method is, they sneak as close as possible towards their prey. Then they have the best chances to suddenly appear right next to the prey and grab it. If you understand this hunting behavior, you can have a lot of fun playing with your cat. Playing is absolutely necessary for the health and feelings of your cat. Here are some ideas on how you can do it: - Take...
