As opposed to dogs and cats that love it all!

Scratches not pats, an animal that can feel a fly land on its skin appreciates a good scratch in a hard to reach place not a hard pat from your hand. They scratch their friends not thump them. 😏🐴❤️

Great information,

Compared to other animal species, the equine stomach is small occupying only 8% of the entire tract.

However the dog is 60% and the cow is 70%.

What does this mean?

That the horse's digestive system has evolved to ingest small amounts of food continuously. The dog, however, as originally a predatory animal, makes bulky and more punctual meals.

The cow is a herbivorous animal like the horse, but its stomach is compartmentalized to process rumen and its stomach works as if it were the horse's colon.

If you notice, the horse's large intestine has a great capacity, precisely to ferment all the fiber it ingests.

Small continuous servings instead of two or three copious. This latest form of feeding has been introduced to meet our needs, not those of equines.

"It turns out that pets also have last wills before they die, but only known to vets who put old and sick animals to sleep." Twitter user Jesse Dietrich asked a vet what the hardest part of his job was.
The specialist replied without hesitation that the hardest thing for him was seeing how old or sick animals look for their owners before they fall asleep. The fact is 90% of owners don't want to be in a room with a dying animal. People leave so they don't see their animals leave. But they don't realize it's in these last moments of life that their animal needs them the most.
Vets are asking owners to stay close to animals until the end. "It is inevitable that they die before you. Remember that you were the center of their lives. Maybe they were just a part of you. But they are also your family. Even if it's hard, don't give up on them.
Don't let them die in a room with a stranger in a place they don't like. It's very painful for vets to see how pets can't find their owner in the last minutes of their lives. They don't understand why their master left them. After all, they needed the consolation of their master.
Veterinarians do their best to make animals not so scared, but they are totally strangers to them. Don't be a coward because it's too painful for you. Think about the animal. Endure that pain for them. Be with them until the end.💞🙏

***Winter Care Tip***
Food and Water
Cats need extra food during winter and fresh water twice a day. Wet food freezes, so put out dry food as well (or just feed dry food).
Warm up canned food and water before serving, or use a heated bowl. Check out some bowls tested by caregivers.
Spray insulation foam into the underside of plastic feeding dishes to keep wet food from freezing.
Use bowls that are deep rather than wide and place them in sunny areas to keep water from freezing.
Build a feeding station that will shield food, water, and the cats from the elements.
Put a microwavable heating pad disk, like a Snuggle Safe, under the bowls.
If there’s a water source like a spigot, run the water slightly—it won’t freeze as fast as still water.
