Keep this in mind when doing interactive play sessions with your cat. It's not about constant fast paced moves and getting your cat to point of panting with exhaustion. Playtime should mimic how a cat hunts. Alternate movement with having the toy hide or quiver to allow your cat the opportunity to stalk, creep up closer, and successfully pounce. Finally, remember to end the play session with a treat or schedule it before your cat's regular mealtime.

Did you know that there once was a time when our great national bird was in danger of extinction? It’s true, the bald eagle has been through some tough times, but has been lucky enough to bounce back. For most of the 20th century, the bald eagle was gone from Iowa’s landscape. Because of this, many Iowans were left with little to no knowledge of the great bird. How did this happen? Well, when white settlers arrived in Iowa in the 1830’s, bald eagles were common. However, they were nearly exterminated following roughly 60 years of habitat loss, hunting, and contamination from the pesticide DDT. No bald eagles were found nesting in Iowa from 1905 to 1977. Now, they have nested in all 99 counties in Iowa. The number of nesting pairs counted in the lower 48 states went from 417 in 1963 to over 9,000 in 2006! Although the bald eagle is no longer on the endangered species list (as of 2007), it is still protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. This allows us to admire the beauty of our national bird while protecting them at the same time.
