Cats are known as animals that have a long sleep time, and can sleep for 16 hours a day. However, cats don't sleep for 16 hours at a time. Cats do not have a sleep-wake cycle like other mammals. Sometimes cats behave nocturnal and wake up at night, at times the owner doesn't expect, and this can be very annoying.

An unneutered female cat will become sexually mature between 5 and 12 months of age, depending on how well she is fed and the age of the cat itself. Unlike feral cats out there who have to compete for food and feel cold in winter, pet cats have the privilege of getting plenty of food and light.

Cats meow to say hello, ask for help, show dislike or pain, or ask for attention. You're the one who determines when a cat's whining needs attention, so it's important to check the water tank immediately and for any other problems. However, as many cat owners also know, those pitiful-sounding feline whines are sometimes just their seduction for extra food or attention.

Urinary tract infection is a type of infection that may occur in cats and humans. In fact, patients need to take antibiotics to treat the infection completely.

Cats are very independent living creatures. In fact, the researchers discovered that even though humans have kept cats for at least 9,000 years, domestic cats are still semi-tame animals. Training a cat can be difficult, as the trainer may have to convince the cat that the task being taught will be useful.

When dogs struggle and bite each other, they are usually just playing. Sometimes, however, those struggles can spiral out of control and you are in charge of dealing with real dog fights.

Rabbits make great pets, but rabbits are very different from cats or dogs. Rabbits cannot obey naturally like dogs. Rabbits are very intelligent and independent, and therefore need to be rewarded for doing things in your favor. To train your rabbit to come towards you, you need to know what will motivate it and then use repetition and kindness to make the action interesting.

Tortoises (tortoises that live on land, have no webbed feet and can't swim) are relatively easy-to-grow pets, though you'll need some special equipment.

Experts believe that dogs have a higher tolerance for pain than humans. This makes it difficult for us to detect sick dogs. While some can express it clearly, some dogs can be very strong (not show any pain) and difficult to detect. Often times, dogs will hide their pain (if possible) as a natural defense mechanism.

Like most mammals, kittens start their life by consuming their mother's milk. The transition from drinking mother cat's milk to eating their own food is called weaning. If your cat has kittens and/or you are caring for a kitten that does not have a mother, you will need to know what to prepare and what to do so that the kitten can go through this important stage.

Feral cats have almost or no direct contact with humans. Many feral cats are born in the wild, some are abandoned or stray cats. Regardless of their origin, feral cats are generally afraid of interacting with humans, and are more likely to scratch or bite you instead of sitting on your lap (at least in the beginning).

Cats clawing at furniture and other objects may appear to have a destructive habit to you, but cats themselves are not. In cats, scratching is a natural habit, as it is a way of fulfilling the need to keep the claws in tip-top shape and to leave visible marks on the object, in order to set boundaries for other cats and other animals.

Petting a cat may sound simple, but for children or people who haven't spent much time around cats, it's important to know the dos and don'ts of approaching and touching a cat. Stroking the wrong area or using too much force or speed can irritate some cats, causing them to bite or scratch.

No cat likes being restrained and seeing a large drop of water fall right into its eye. As a result, you may feel the need to go to the vet to give your cat eye drops. However, with patience and light restraint, administering eye drops can be done at home.

Almost all dogs experience hair loss sometimes. Dogs that experience this often, such as the Herder, go through it all year round; but even dogs whose hair is difficult to shed (eg poodles), they will sometimes experience it too. Weather and season play a large role in determining how much hair is shed in a dog, but the dog's overall health is one of the biggest factors influencing this amount.

Some people admit that Chihuahuas (dog breeds) are difficult to train. However, this is not true because these animals are actually smart and can be trained. The biggest difficulty in training a Chihuahua is that it is so small that it is difficult to see when curled up to go to the bathroom.

Determining the sex of a puppy is quite easy if you know some of the correct anatomical signs. You should handle puppies gently and with extreme care. Try to wait 3-4 weeks before determining the sex of the puppy. If you keep the puppy too long before it is taken care of by the mother, the puppy may then be ignored by the mother.

All dogs like to scratch their ears to some extent, but if your dog's ears are scratched or irritated all the time, it's important to know the cause. Once you know what's bothering your dog, you can treat the cause. Most itching is caused by a parasitic infection, ear infection (bacterial or fungal), allergies, or a foreign object in the ear (such as grass clippings).

Most people choose dry food for their pet dogs. This feed is easy to store, does not take up space, and does not spoil quickly compared to wet meat food. However, sometimes dogs do not like dry food or grain feed. Maybe your dog doesn't like the taste/texture of the feed, or has a toothache that prevents him from chewing dry food.
