โฐ๐Ÿถ Daylight saving time? Just another human thing. But this time change can disrupt our dear dogs and cats with their well-established routines.

๐Ÿพ If possible, a gradual shift in their mealtime (for example) is preferable to smoothly transition them to daylight saving time.

๐Ÿถ ๐Ÿ‘ƒ Dogs live in a world of scents. Sniffing their fellow canines is essential for their well-being. Even though it might seem disgusting to humans, dogs perceive information of the utmost importance (from a dog's perspective!). For example, these scents provide clues about the animal's health ๐Ÿฉบ and diet ๐ŸŸ ๐Ÿฅฉ ๐Ÿฅฆ ๐Ÿฅ•.

๐Ÿ‘‰ These olfactory pieces of information come from glands located around the ears and the muzzle.

๐Ÿ˜† That makes you look at these canine greetings from a different perspective ๐Ÿ•.

๐Ÿˆ Like dogs, cats are extremely sensitive to the body language of humans. This is how they adapt their behavior based on the people they encounter.

๐Ÿ’ก ๐Ÿพ Studies conducted on cats reveal intriguing connections between the behavior of cats and the personality of their humans.

๐Ÿถ ๐Ÿถ Among the methods of education, it is possible to use another member of the same species to aid in learning.

๐Ÿ‘‰ The use of so-called "demonstrator" dogs allows for quick and effective learning. This is how puppies who, during their socialization period, attended their mother's narcolepsy detection training ๐Ÿงช, showed better performance when they, in turn, started this learning.

๐Ÿˆ Cats are not known for their displays of affection, especially from the perspective of those who don't share their lives with them!

๐Ÿ‘‰ Nevertheless, scientists agree that non-social animals like cats - because yes, cats are not social animals. They have a tolerance for other cats but don't particularly enjoy their presence - rarely express their emotions in an exaggerated manner.

๐Ÿ‘‰ The reason is believed to be a method to avoid attracting the attention of predators. For example, if the animal is in pain, it's better for it to hide all outward signs of discomfort to prevent its weakness from inciting a rival to chase it away.

๐Ÿ’ก In a study comparing Balinese dogs living freely and other Balinese dogs ๐Ÿถ ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ (formerly free-living) adopted as domestic pets ๐Ÿ• , the latter were more reactive, excitable, more aggressive towards other animals, and more inclined to chase animals or humans.

โ‰๏ธ The reason? The lack of freedom associated with domestic life: living in a house, having a fenced yard, controlled interactions with fellow dogs, etc.

โžก๏ธ The lack of freedom would thus alter their behavior

๐Ÿˆ ๐Ÿ™€ Have you ever seen your cat rolling around after sniffing catnip? If so, it's because your cat has (at least) one version of the gene that makes it sensitive to this plant, functional.

๐Ÿ‘‰ If it doesn't react to this enticing smell, it's probably because the copies of this gene are defective, as is the case in one-third of cats.

๐Ÿพ Rest assured, even though this gene persists in the feline species, it doesn't seem to provide any selective advantage!

๐Ÿ’ก Well, it seems that the message is clear for dogs, as according to scientists, dogs have the ability to follow this indicated direction.

โžก๏ธ But the gesture that works best is extending your arm with the index finger near the target!So, it's your turn to test!

๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ Urinary infections in cats, also known as idiopathic cystitis, are generally triggered by psychological factors.

๐Ÿ‘‰ This condition tends to preferentially affect males.

โ‰๏ธ Why? It has been identified that urinary infections in male cats may originate from conflicts with other cats in the household. Additionally, from a purely medical perspective, the male cat's urethra is shorter than that of the female, making it more susceptible to infections.

๐Ÿ˜ป Females, on the other hand, are better at resolving conflicts with other cats before stress affects their health.
