Two Terriers

One of our drivers was called out to two cross breed Terriers called Bill and Ben in Irlam. He found them being held by a caring member of the public as they had been running about around the road. They were both suffering from a severe flea allergy, and must have been very uncomfortable. The vet checked them, finding them underweight and neglected. Animals In Distress gave them lots of love and attention. Bill and Ben are aged about five and seven. They have now been castrated, micro chipped, and have found new loving, safe, homes together.

A lady whose dog, a cross breed, had presented her with an incredible eleven puppies rang Animals In Distress for help. We agreed to do just that. Our driver picked them up and drove them to the vet to be checked. Happily all seemed well except for the one who sadly, did not survive as it had some internal problems. The other ten flourished. Four of them, who were named Honey, Jam, Marmalade, and Marmite appeared on the Paul O'Grady Show looking for loving homes. Nobody will be surprised to know that the terrific ten have now found the loving homes they so richly deserve.

Pet Insurance – The key points to ponder when buying a policy

By james kermitson [ 24/09/2007 ]


Are you one of those who consider pets as genuine family members and would not flinch even from incurring a debt to save their pets? If that be the case, then you should in al wisdom go in for a pet insurance policy.

The treatments that are available now days for pets match those available for human beings. As a result, many ailments which were earlier never detected and consequently diagnosed are very easily identified and cured. This indeed is good news. But all upsides have a downside too. The cost of veterinary treatment has skyrocketed, and if you would go to any length to keep your pet healthy, go for a pet insurance as early as possible.

As is the case when you are taking out an insurance policy for yourself or your family, you must also be aware of certain fundamentals when you buy a policy for your pet.

The first and foremost point which you should enquire is how long the pet insurance company has been around? Needless to say, the longer a company is in the market the greater would be its experience and reliability.

Does the company have a substantial list of satisfied policy holders? In these age of various powerful search engines, you will always be able to locate a policy holders forum or at least blogs which will provide with all shades of opinions. You can make your judgment and draw conclusions at your own leisure.

The next point to ponder on is the financial security of the insurance company. To put it in plain terms, would it be able to shoulder the financial burden if the need arises, or would it try to escape the responsibility under the cover of unintelligible technical jargon?

Does the company have a countrywide coverage? This becomes a big issue if your job is such that you are constantly on the move shifting base from one state to another very frequently.

Usually all pet insurance companies have a list of recommended veterinarians. But some of them insist that they would entertain a claim only and only if it has been certified by a pet doctor on their list. This may prove to be a very big bother. So, find out whether the company accepts bills from any licensed veterinary doctor or not.

Also take the trouble to enquire whether the insurance company will reimburse you of the expenses you might have incurred when you visited a specialist with your ailing pet.

The last but very important point to verify is whether the policy covers the cost of treatment if your pet contracts cancer. This is a crunch point, because the cancer treatment of a pet is almost as costly as that human patient.

Cat Climbing: Something We Should Know

By Dr. Hassany Ummar [ 12/09/2007 ]

After scratching, the climbing is the second nature to cats and even the youngest kittens will want to test out their skills on the nearest tree. In the wild some cats climb trees in order to pounce on their prey from above, while the leopard have been know to store food in a tree, away from hungry animals on the ground. The other reason cats climb is so that they can look down on almost every other animal - it's also the reason they hate birds.

Many domestic cats claw at tree trunk in order to leave their marks. See Why the cats scratch. Others will go as far as climbing to the tree in order to mark their territory. But in both cases cats want to climb instinctively and the urge to ascend a tree will be strong. Both domestic and wild cats climb trees usually as a hunting strategy or to escape being chased.

Why Do Cats Like High Places
1. Height can be a signal of dominance to a multiple cat household. The cat who sits atop the highest spot is usually the one who is in control, the boss.
2. Remember, our lovable furry friends used to live in the wild and many of their traits come from nature. By sitting in a high place, cats are better able to observe what goes on around them and in some instances use that vantage point as a place of refuge.
3. Heat rises! Usually the highest spot in the home is the warmest and that is exactly where your cat wants to be.
4. Being away from the action below is a way of calming themselves. Maybe they have had enough "interaction" with the baby, or the dog, or the other cats and just need a break.

Now, we have reasonable why we should adopt cat tree for our cat.
Here is a list of consideration cat tree we have to choose for our cats
1.The cat tree must be well balanced, so your cats cannot tip it over.
2.The cat tree should supply your cat with both carpet area for comfortable lounging and sisal scratching surface for scratching. Carpet may be an acceptable covering, but it should be combed first to make certain that there are no tight loops. Some cats prefer sisal, a piece of material from an old chair, or even bare wood for scratching. Sisal fiber is durable, inexpensive, attractive to cats, and last longer than carpet. Be certain to use a material that appeals to your cat.
3.Be sure that the base of the cat tree is heavy and large enough and maintain stability.
4.Take cat tree that will provide your cat not only with height and scratching surface, but and with comfortable places like shelves, trays and cat houses.
5.Be sure the components of the cat tree are sturdy and spaced, so that cats can climb up and down without slipping or falling.
6.Make sure the entrance holes of cat tunnels, cat houses or some kind of cube are large enough to accommodate your cat. Some furniture isn't made with super-sized cats in mind.
7.If you choose cat tree with shelves or trays, be sure that they can hold the weight of your cat.
