Cats or Kittens!!?

choosing between cats and kitten


Cats are inspite an adorable animal to adopt and keep. They are playful, cuddly, cute and very furry. But what is the most common mistakes that people make when adopting a cat is based on looks rather then its personality.

Like humans every cat has a different personality and so it is important to be sure about personality of the furry pal you are considering to make a part of your family. For instance if you have children or other pets it is important to know that the cat you are considering to adopt will get along well with them or not. Sheltering volunteers and staff interact with the cats daily so ask for their opinion to help you make an informed decision.

Then there comes the age! Choosing between kittens and adult cats can be confusing. We all know kittens are cute and can be lots of fun. But they also require a lot of your time and supervision, so before adopting be sure that you can afford to give this much time to your cat. Incase you decide that a kitten is right for your family. Consider adopting two together. This way they can make great play mates and provide lots of entertainment and companionship for each other.

Ofcourse while most people are immediately drawn to kittens, adopting an adult cat is wiser decision to make as they are typically less active making it easier to meet their size and play time needs. Most adult cats are already familiar with the family life, plus they can bond with you just as quickly as the other kittens if not quicker.

A small tip for summer vacation – choosing your pet sitter



Do you want this to happen to your pet while you are away?



Summer vacation is fun and family time. You might even have planned your summer vacation trip with family so that you can leave as soon as schools are off. But then what have you thought about your furry pal, Of course leaving your pet at home for long period of time while you're away traveling is not a good idea for both you and your pet.

Asking your friends or family to care for your pet is inconvenience for them and so you can’t count on it as well. Boarding your furry pal at the vet could be an option but apparently there is the threat of exposure to the other animals that are sick.

Thus, an in-home pet sitter seems like the perfect solution. However, it’s better to start the search for in-home pet sitter at least several weeks before you have planned to leave. This way you have plenty of time in your hand to work out all details. Your pet will be thankful for it; also you and your pet can enjoy the vacation fully.

Say no to tangles in summer. Pet’s fur is prone to trap heat thus a clean coat can help to prevent skin problems as well over heating for your pet. But don’t shave down your pet's coat to skin as this coat also helps protect them from sun. 1-inch is just perfect length for your dog's coat in summer. Whereas, brush your cat frequently to keep their coats tangled free.

Hydrate as Much as Possible
You as well as your pet needs to be well-hydrated during summer, to stay fresh and healthy. Whether you are indoors or out for a walk with your pet make sure your pets and you are in-taking plenty of water.

Pet Sitters V/s Alliances


Appointing a pet sitter or leaving your pets with your neighbors is one of the most debated issues within the family while leaving home for vacations or work. Incase you are a part of such debate lately and you are supporting the thought of hiring a pet sitter instead of asking favors then you can put forward these points in order to win your case:

Why Pet Sitters are a better option

1. No new Adjustment:
Pets unlike humans take long to get used to a new place and so it is very difficult for your pet to adjust in a new environment all of a sudden that is also for a very short time. Hiring a pet sitter can save your pet from this dilemma. Your pet will be in same familiar environment and comfort area while you are away, with the pet sitter you called over.

2. Professional Services:
Instead of taking chances with your pet while relying on your neighbors, friends or family, a professionally trained pet sitter is apparently better option as he/she can easily be friends with your pet and is already well aware of the general needs of almost each types of pets and so you don’t have to make lists or give a detailed briefing about your pet before leaving it with some of your alliance.

3. All Needs Fulfilled:

Along with love and affection a professionally trained pet sitter can easily take care of your pet and will never neglect any of its need while you are away. Moreover, unlike your family, friends or neighbors a professional pet sitter won’t have any other engagements or job to complete so he will effectively take care of your pet without ignoring any of the essentials, for staying loyal towards his job.

4. In Case Of Emergency
Professional pet sitters are trained to provide medical treatment to pet when needed, so in-case of any catastrophe a professional pet sitter can easily provide first aid to your pet and would be more conscious about your pets health than any one else.

While Training Your Pet

Adopting a furry pal is always an exciting thought but with that comes along the worry of training your pet, and to be honest that is not a very good a part to think about. There are number of audio books, guides and articles available in the market about training your pet, than you would have ever think but to be honest the advice in few of those books simply turn out to be impractical sometimes. Some of them are unnecessary and then there are few, which are quite sensible and work like a charm.

This surely does not means that every advice you come across to train your pet is just crappy, its just that a lot of what works and what doesn't work depends on the individual pet — on its personality and smartness.

The central idea is that the transition from a new pet to a trained pet should be accomplished in a series of stages. Start the procedure with a small change and then give your pet time to adjust before you make another small change.

If at any time your pet gives the whole thing up and goes back to the first day, you are pushing him too far too fast; its time to back up a stage or two. Give it a rest and then try again, more slowly this time.

In the following instructions, I have used the word "rest" that mean: “do nothing for a period of between a day and a week, depending on how flappable your pet is.”

How Good is Your Pet at Decision Making?

Choosing is one of the basic signs of intellect and self-perseverance. This sense does not only exist in humans but in pets as well. Do you know how good is your pet at decision making?

The ability of decision-making varies in animals. Rats are the smartest of all, when it comes to decision-making. According to one of the reports posted on yahoo news, rats are as good at decision-making as humans. The news says:

“Comparing the rats to humans who were given similar tests, they found that both groups made decisions that were in line with the "statistically optimal" curve -- in other words, the best way possible.” Source: Yahoonews

The degree of the ability of decision-making can actually help you decide how active your pet is! The more active it is the healthier it will stay. So if your dog, cat or other furry pal is not that active, its time for you to work for it and train them. You can even take help of Phoenix pet sitters at The Animals Kingdom.

Our pet sitters are veterinary technicians or pet CPR/First Aid Certified and can help you train your pet. Our pet sitters are able to detect normally overlooked problems that can help you avoid potential health risks. You can also learn about proper medical care for your pet.
