Learning cat behaviors before you start training them would be
an good idea for anyone that is going to train a cat’s behavior.
A cat can jump and lands on its feet as this are a natural
instinct for a cat. When a kitten is first born, the cushion in
a kittens paws are not developed with the cushion to land on its
feet. It takes about 7 wk to develop the cushion in a cats paw
for landing. A cats bone structure is unique to other animals as
the bones are flexible , cat has no collar bone, which enables
them to be able to twist and bend their bones A cat can jump
from short distant with out sustaining any injuries.
With this behavior, you will want to teach the cat to jump
hoops, sticks, or off the scratching tree. Letting a cat jump
from extreme heights will cause injury to the cat.
Cats have a unique hearing ability; they are able to hear high
tones and pitches, like opening a door or a can of food. Cats
also have unique smelling abilities. The reason a cat will
scratch or urinate on the floor , rub its self up against a door
or furniture, is the cat is leaving their scent in that areas so
they will be able to come back and know they were there, in
other words marking its territory. In addition, if another cat
or animal comes along in the area a cat will know this. Cats can
also smell with their mouths. There is a gland call ‘Jacobson’s
organ’, it is a sac in the cats upper mouth filled with blood,
as the cat smells the scent and the slightly opens their mouth
and upper lip, this allows the scent to be carried in and to the
sac, which it will carry the scent goes to the cat brain. This
mostly happen to male cats when a female has urinated.
With these natural instincts and behaviors this can give you
some insight to help you train you cat. With behavior training
you will want to make sure that you allow your cat the ability
in some way to play out it natural instincts and behaviors.
When training a cat for behaviors here are some things that you
need to look at and take in consideration when training.
Aggression especially in older cats, this can be cause from
illness, other cats in the home. This you may want to contact
your vet to have the cat check out to see if it is all right at
this time to train a cat.
Depression and anxiety could play another part with trying to
train your cat. If a cat is separated by it recent owner the cat
can become depressed. Stress on a cat can be common effect on a
cat. If you think that your cat has depression or high anxiety,
this would be a good time to take the cat to the vet. Vets can
talk to you about some of the things that may be causing this
and a help list to help the cat. There are medications that a
vet can prescribe for the cat to help with depression and
anxiety.
Never hit a cat for a punishment the cat will learn to fear you,
and fearing will be a behavior you will not be able to control
or retrain. When they do something that is not right. Ignore the
problem or if you catch them right a way you can associate a
noise with that behavior on what you do not like or just in a
stern voice tell them “NO”.
If a behavior is becoming impossible you may have to resort to
the baby proof home, all containers that have food in them have
a lid on it. Make sure that the counters are clean and have
nothing that a cat would want to play with.
The day that you get your cat or kitten, you will want to start
training at this point. This will keep many unwanted behaviors
away, and hopefully not let any new behaviors to start.
Healthy cats need healthy relationships with their owner.

Help could not come soon enough for the residents of New Orleans and the surrounding Gulf areas. But for devoted animal owners rescue came at a price…leave your pet behind. Having a plan in place before disaster strikes can save both you and your pet’s lives. Here’s what to do now.
General Helpful Hints
1 If you live in an apartment, consider putting an “animals inside” sign on your door. In case of fire, your pet’s chances of survival may increase if the firemen know.
2 Keep carrying cases, leads, etc. in an easily accessible location. If you must leave quickly, time spent looking for these items is time lost.
Know Your Neighbors
The help of a good neighbor can sometimes be your first line of defense.
1. Exchange your house or apartment key with a trusted neighbor. Exchanging keys with a neighbor offers the benefit of proximity. Should an unexpected crisis arise, your neighbor can reach your pets quickly. Friends or family may not know about the problem until it is too late.
2. Make a Plan. Discuss what to do in case of emergency. Do you have a cell phone? Make certain your neighbor has the number as well as any additional telephone numbers where you can be reached such as work or family. Write them on an index card in bold, large print, and laminate it.
3. Fido, Buffy, Max, Celia, Snorky… If you have more than one pet, make certain your neighbor has the following information:
a. The Number of Pets You Have. If they know how many pets they need to find, chances increase greatly all will be rescued.
b. What Type of Animals You Have. If Celia is a goldfish and your neighbor is looking for a dog, Celias’ chances of rescue drop. Make certain you are clear regarding the type of animal your neighbor should find.
c. Location of Pets In Your Home. This is important for caged animals such as birds, snakes, hamsters, etc. Do you keep your dog penned in the backyard? Let them know. The less time your neighbor spends searching for your pets, the more time they have to get them out quickly and safely.
d. Hi. My Name Is… If your neighbor can’t find your pet, they may respond if their names are called. Will they come when you whistle? Tell your neighbor. The more specific information they have, the better your pet’s chance of rescue.
On the Road Again
Before you leave for a vacation or an extended trip, talk with the person who will be caring for your pets. Make certain it is someone you trust such as a responsible family member, friend, or neighbor. If you use a pet sitting service, check their credentials before you leave. Ask for names of other clients who have used their services and call them to see if they were pleased. Better to know before you go rather than returning to an unpleasant surprise.
Discuss specifically what your sitter would do if a crisis arises and always leave contact numbers where you can be reached (hotel, cell phone, etc).
Points to consider:
1. If a problem occurs, will your sitter take your pets until you return? If not, give them the name and telephone number of a friend, family member, kennel or doggy spa they can contact to take your pets.
2. If an evacuation occurs, will your sitter take your pets?
3. In case of evacuation, give your sitter the telephone number of a family member or friend outside the effected area who can act as a contact. If you and your sitter cannot reach each other, you can each call the contact who can help relay information.
4. If one must leave the area, prearrange with family or friends within driving distance to take your pets. If you have more than one pet, ask in advance to make certain they can house all of them. If not, find others who can.
Name, Rank and Serial Number
Make certain your pets have proper identification. Include your last name and telephone number as well as the pet’s name on the ID tag. If you have one, consider using a cell phone number in case you and your pet are separated and you can’t go home.
Your Little Black Book
Begin collecting important telephone numbers and information now so you have them if you need them. To gather this information, conduct an Internet search for your area or contact animal associations such as the ASPCA or The Humane Society. Your list should also include your vet and a 24 hour animal hospital.
1. Pet Friendly Shelters: Many shelters may not accept pets in need of a temporary safe haven, but some do. Find the ones in your areas just in case.
2. Dog Friendly Lodging: Should you be displaced, know where to go. If you can’t reach friends or family, the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of hotels and motels which accept pets can be a life saver.
3. Animal Rescue Centers. Even the best laid plans go astray. If this happens, call your local animal shelter or vet and ask if they can provide assistance. If you have more than one pet, confirm that they will be able to take them all.
4. Here are a few starting points for more information.
American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
American Veterinary Medical Foundation
American Humane Association

If You Must Evacuate
If the situation becomes so dire you must leave, consider the following. Generally, time is of the essence.
1. Leave as quickly as possible and take your pets with you! Don’t leave your pets behind thinking you can return and get them. Very often, you will not be permitted to return until the crisis is over.
2. If you are driving, load up the animals and hit the road. If you can’t take your pets where you are going, use your back up family member or friend plan first. Then your dog friendly lodging or rescue shelter options. If worse comes to worse, you may be able to find someone along the way who can help you.
3. If you cannot take your pet(s) to a safe place and you MUST evacuate, help improve your pet’s chances to stay alive. Make certain dogs are unchained or uncaged. Pets left alone will rely on their natural instincts to survive.

This week I have been investigating the collective world of Beswick Collectables. This is a huge area spanning over 100 years of professional ceramics manufacture and should not be taken lightly. They started out with just plates and shiz but ended up making over 1000 different figurines from ziggy the lion to elliot the emu.
Beswick Ceramic Figurines are very popular amongst old people, considered to be due to their comedic faces and poses, inspiring a smile in even the oldest of human. Thier horse ceramic figurines provide human charectoristics in a horse form and are always worth a few quid. I would highly recommend that you check out the Beswick collectables, they are great fun!

from David the Dogman
Just this side of Heaven is a place called The Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill or old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling to each other in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together…
Commitment, Firmness, but kindness.

Having a boxer dog as a pet, although low-maintenance, require your consistent attention, exercise, human interaction, consistent obedience training and lots of love. You cannot leave them to their own design for too long or they will get lonely, bored and into trouble.
Being a big and strong dog as well as a highly intelligent one, Boxers need both physical and mental stimulations to keep them even-tempered and dignified while still keeping their impish spirit and fearless courage in tact.
Their high prey drive (some owners called it play drive) needs proper outlets or they could get destructive as house pets, and tend to fight among themselves especially if the other family Boxers are of the same sex. The female, it seems, is often more aggressive than the male.
Keeping Boxers busy is the best way to keep them out of trouble! Tire them out with long walks, 3 times a day. Give them plenty of exercise, play with them, especially the inquisitive puppies or they would tear up your home out of boredom, pent up energy and frustration.
For all your love and caring, be prepared for wet slobbery drool and kisses and love in return.
What some proud owners say about their pet Boxers:
* “Having a Boxer is like having another human in a dog body with you. You can talk to Boxers and they would understand. They demonstrate feelings just like human does. If they are loved, they will love and protect you.”
* “Boxers are the most loyal companions. My Boxers bring me up when I am down. They are the canine clowns of the dog world. They are the only dogs for me.”
* “They are a gift! The two I have are always smiling and they cheer me up when I’m not too happy. They can be your friends for life!”
* “My Boxer can take up my moods or lay quietly by my feet for hours.”
* “Boxers are so intuitive, so easily bored and heartbroken. They are the definition of devotion and courage.”
* “If I treat my Boxer puppy as an intelligent animal and talk to him almost like he’s human, he is more responsive and better behaved, as though he’s picking up on my sentiments by the way I am speaking to him.”
* “Boxers can be very manipulative. They are a lot smarter than they look! Don’t get taken in by their innocent-looking face or let them walk all over you no matter how much their eyes make them look like they are truly sorry.”
* “Give up being house-proud and enjoy your “devil dog”. Don’t have potted plants because you’ll end up with empty pots! Don’t run to answer the phone because you’ll be rugby-tackled and end up flat on your face.”
* “Bringing a puppy or even an older dog into your home and your life is a major decision. It brings with it responsibility and commitment, but it also renders supreme joy, laughter, and sadly, but inevitably, tears. Not one of us who has ever shared his life with a Boxer would have it any other way.”
* “Boxer dogs think they are human. Treat them like one - love them, talk to them, cuddle them and value them and you will get your love back unconditionally 10,000 times.”

Across england there is a huge amount of plant machinery. Tractors, diggers, excavators - you name it we have it. But over the years the machinery technology develops and models become dated and broken.
Refurbishing tractors is a huge industry because of this fact, and used tractors, second hand plant is as popular as new stuff - tractors are typically built as work horses, designed to last a long time and operate for many a year. Hence fixing up old tractors and making good used plant work again is a great occupation.
If you are looking to find it you can try several things - looking in your local farmers market boards, or online - but there isn’t a huge following online, nature of the business I suppose. Nether the less refurbished-tractors.co.uk will now provide used tractors, second hand farm machinery and used plant / trailers at great prices - check it out now!

…But what sort of engine inside?
In the modern world of tractors there are endless variations on engines, much like the saloon car market. You can get Huge capacity (20ltr) diesel engines with 4 turbo chargers, small efficient diesels (2 ltr) and even the odd biofuel powered one!
So how do you decide which is best suited to your farm? Trabants for sale. Essentially its best to get the most efficient engine for the use - so if your just using it for small farm/tractor errands then a littler engine suits fine. However if you are working it hard 10 hours a day then a larger engine will likely pay for itself in easelessness of operation.
Diesels are obvious choice because of the efficiency’s of red diesel in using farm tractors. However Biodiesel is also available now - although rare it does offer slight fuel efficiency improvements. u92T engines are great.

When planning vacation and holiday getaways, don’t forget to plan for pet sitting. Consider using a pet sitter instead of a kennel. It allows your dog to stay in the comfort of their own home and helps the dog maintain a normal routine.
The best of friends, family, and kennels, cannot offer anything better than the comfort of a pet’s own home. Also, having a trusted pet sitter in your home can help protect your home from intruders.
