Tips for successful cat bathing🐱🚿
🐱Determine if washing your cat is really required. Most cats will clean themselves and don’t require bathing, however some will need an extra hand such as older cats.
🧼Set up all your equipment and supplies before bringing your cat in. This way, they spend minimal time in the water.
🪥Brush your cat before the bath to get rid of as much dirt as possible.
🧴Always use cat-friendly shampoos and conditioners only.
🛁Check that the water is warm and not cold or hot before bringing your cat into the tub.
🧴Rinse thoroughly to ensure all shampoo and conditioner is rinsed away
🐱Do not use water or soap on your cat’s head area. Only ever wipe with a damp towel to clean this area.
💞Reassure your cat by talking to them gently during the bathing
✅Leave them to dry in a warm space without drafts after their bath, and make sure they are comfortable with a hair dryer if you decide to use one
🥰Be patient and calm throughout the process.
☀️Starting early with baths gives your cat the best chance to get used to bathing.7 Older cats will find it much harder to adjust to water baths.

Why Do Cats Love Catnip?🐱🌿✨
Catnip is a fragrant plant from the mint family. Its scientific name is Nepeta cataria, and it's sometimes called "catmint" or "catswort."
The leaves and stems of the catnip plant contain an oil called "nepetalactone." When cats smell nepetalactone, it stimulates special receptors that sense chemicals called "pheromones."
The result is a kind of chemical reaction that gives the cat a sense of euphoria or overwhelming happiness. The effect has been compared to that of a hallucinogenic drug on humans.
When cats smell catnip, they will often paw at it, rub it, roll over it, lick it and even chew it. Cats who have particularly strong reactions to catnip may also get frisky, meow, growl, purr, drool and generally act crazy for several minutes!
After a few minutes, though, the effect of the catnip wears off, and cats will ignore it.
Experts estimate about 50 to 75 percent of cats are affected by catnip. Young kittens and older cats are less likely to be affected.

No matter your dog’s size, senior or puppy, big or small, the animal needs routine physical activity.
Most breeds may need routine walks several times per day.
We recommend that you walk your pooch, on average, 3 to 4 times a day for about 15 to 30 minutes.
Dogs with excellent health can enjoy long walks of up to two or more hours. However, dogs with health issues such as diabetes and obesity may have challenges walking for long without taking occasional breaks to relax.
If your dog isn’t in good shape, start with short walks (preferably 15 minutes) and advance gradually to long walks. Most importantly, talk to your veterinarian to know the best way to walk your dog if it’s out of shape.

Cats love to play — and love it when you play with them! You’ve probably watched your cat play on their own, but their highly developed hunter instinct makes playing with others much more fun than playing alone. At least 20 to 30 minutes of daily play is a good starting place for most cats — try out these quick games and see how much play your feline friend prefers!😻
FETCH: NOT JUST FOR DOGS🐱🏐
Contrary to popular belief, cats can and do enjoy playing fetch! But the game looks a little different than when you play fetch with dogs.
CRINKLE TOYS: THE JOY OF CRUMPLED PAPER
Cats love toys that make crinkle sounds, and not just the ones that come from fancy toys. Crumple up a small piece of paper and bat it around the floor for your cat to chase, wrestle and catch.
CAT-FISHING: PLAYING WITH FEATHERS AND STRING
Get a wand toy or make your own with a stick, a string and a bell or feather. Pull it slowly away from your cat’s view and watch as your cat lunges after it around corners and under furniture, and even jumps to catch it in the air.
HIDE AND SEEK: EXPLORING A PAPER BAG
an empty paper bag can easily become one of your cat’s favorite toys. While cats are known for exploring bags on their own, you can turn any bag into a game to play together.

Barking is a noisy but completely normal part of dog communication. 🥰🐶✔
The key to reducing and even preventing barking is to understand why your dog is barking in the first place.
When you learn what your dog hopes to gain from barking, you can show them that they can get what they want by behaving in a calmer, quieter way.
1. Don't tell your dog off
Although their barking may be frustrating, never tell your dog off. Telling them off could make them anxious or confused about you. This could make things worse; encouraging them to bark even more in worry or confusion.
Some dogs might even see you shouting as you joining in and making noise with them.
2. Avoid things your dog finds scary
If your dog is barking because they are scared, try to avoid the scary thing as much as possible. For example,
If they bark when they're left alone because they are scared, try to avoid leaving them as much as possible, until you can teach them it's ok to be left alone. Consider using a pet sitter or dog-walker.
3. Teach your dog calmer ways of telling you what they want
If your dog is barking for something specific, like to make another dog go away, it’s useful to teach them that doing something quieter and safer will get them the same result.
4. Make sure your pooch is staying active
Your dog may be more likely to bark if they’re bored and not getting enough mental or physical exercise. Make sure you spend quality time keeping your dog engaged and active each day.
5. Don't reward your dog for barking
Reward them for staying quiet instead.
If your dog barks at mealtimes, ignore the barking and wait for them to stop before feeding them. Plan ahead and distract them by giving them a toy when you know you’ll be preparing them a snack.

Do Dogs Dream?🐶💤💓
(www.akc.org)
The answer is yes. Dogs do dream.
Like us, dogs and other animals go through several sleep cycles. There are periods of wakefulness, followed by Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, and non-rapid-eye-movement sleep. REM sleep is the period responsible for the most memorable and vivid dreams and is believed to be a part of how the body processes memory, among other things. Scientists can track these cycles and associated brain activity using specialized equipment.
What do you think your furry friends are dreaming about?

If you purchase a baby turtle, it will be swift growing and expect to offer it plenty of TLC and ensure these criteria below are met:🥰
Turtles should always have a terrarium or aquarium no smaller than 29 gallons. Even tiny turtles need a space no shorter than 4 feet long, 18 inches wide and 18 inches tall (4’X18x18 minimum)
Change your baby turtle’s water every single day if you do not have a filter system. Your baby turtle is swimming in their toilet. If you have a filter system, you will still need to change it two to three days.✔💧
Feed your baby turtle its appropriate diet and in pieces so larger than the space between its eyes as a general guideline every day, up to two times per day.
Keep the terrarium’s water and air temperature at about 86 degrees Fahrenheit and that your baby turtle has access to both land and water.
Your baby turtle is learning to swim and doesn’t really need a deep end yet. The rule of thumb is that the water end of a baby turtles aquatic section should be about an inch deeper than the width of its shell.🐢💞
Be an observant turtle owner. When turtle watching, look for any physical signs of illness, including swollen eyes (some species of turtle come with bulging eyes as part of their charm). Look for discoloration on their shell and see if they are avoiding food. If you notice any of these, your veterinarian specializing in reptile care should be consulted.
Many pet turtles can live about 20 years so a turtle is a commitment. Never rush into a turtle as a pet. Turtles are a high maintenance pet to some degree and should not be a spur of the moment decision. You must have the dedication and be willing to make the time to have a turtle and be the best pet parent possible. (2pawsupinc.com)

How to Care for a Pet Rabbit #2🐰💞
(myhouserabbit.com)
*Provide Enrichment
Rabbits can get bored easily. Not only do they need space to exercise, they also need mental stimulation. Cardboard castles are great.
*Groom Your Rabbit.
Rabbits are naturally clean animals and wash themselves frequently. But you still need to groom your rabbit on a regular basis.
It’s important to brush your rabbit to remove all the excess fur. Otherwise, your rabbit could ingest it and have serious digestive issues.
*Bring Your Rabbit to a Rabbit-Savvy Vet.
You must keep a watchful eye to ensure your rabbit is eating, drinking, pooping, and peeing regularly. If you notice any change in behavior, it is important to call a rabbit-savvy vet immediately.
*Understand Rabbits’ Unique Language and Behavior.
Pet rabbits are different from cats and dogs. It’s essential to understand how rabbits think so you and your rabbit can live a happy life together.

How to Care for a Pet Rabbit #1🐰🥰
(myhouserabbit.com)
*Set Up Safe Indoor Housing.
There are several options to house rabbits inside. They can live free-reign in a bunny proofed room/rooms, or they can be contained within a puppy pen, bunny condo, or large rabbit cage.
*Bunny Proof Your House.
Rabbits need space to run around and explore. In order to create a safe space for your bunny and to protect your belongings, you will need to thoroughly bunny proof the area.
This includes covering all wires with plastic sleeves or flex tubing, or lifting them 3-4 feet out of reach of your rabbit.
If you don’t want your baseboards gnawed, you can cover them with plastic guards, 2x4s or furring strips. You’ll also have to block off certain areas since rabbits like to chew the undersides of beds, items on bookshelves, house plants, and more. Basically, your rabbit will try to chew everything in reach.
*Provide Fresh Hay.
A rabbit’s diet should mainly consist of hay. Fresh hay should be provided to rabbits at all times. Baby rabbits should be given alfalfa, and adult rabbits should be fed timothy hay, grass hay, or oat hay.
Provide Fresh Greens, Fiber-rich Pellets, and Fresh Water.
Supplement your rabbit’s hay with fresh vegetables, fiber-rich pellets (in limited quantities for adult rabbits), and fresh water daily.
*Set Up a Litter Box.
Rabbits have a natural inclination to poop and pee in one area. Take advantage of this by setting up a medium-sized cat litter box or shallow storage bin near their food/water bowls and hay feeder.
