About Dogs and Cats and their Buddies.

Previously posted on my Facebook Page. 

YOUR dog might be stealing things because they are looking for something to do or for some interaction with you. Dogs need both physical and mental stimulation to prevent boredom and giving them suitable outlets for their energy will prevent them inventing their own means of entertainment! Arrow though only steals Ching and Fizz’s little toys because she tends to get jealous that the kitties get more attention sometimes. But Arrow is a good doog. 🐕👀🐕

CATS and dogs definitely watch TV shows? While some cats go nuts for on-screen antics, others are content to watch the activity with an air of calm. In fact, Ching and Fizz are now addicted to bird videos on YouTube. We may have to bring them to a therapist. Meanwhile, there are a number of features about television shows that dogs find attractive. Of course, “best in show” dog events. Though Arrow is more interested in volleyball on ESPN but finds “Naked and Afraid,” weird. 🐈📺🐕

WEATHER PATTERN occurs when the weather stays the same for days or weeks at a time. Some common weather patterns include hot and dry weather, wet and rainy weather, and cold weather. If weather patterns go on for too long, they can lead to emergencies like heat waves, flooding, and blizzards. If you wanna know more, google it or ask your cat. 🌬💨☀️

SNIFFING bags and boxes is often tied to a cat surveying their territory. Cats will usually scent mark their territory. This signals to other cats in the area and provides information such as whose territory it is, how many cats have been there, and whether or not it's a territory that your cat wants to try and claim. So if your cat likes the smell of your bag, she will claim it as her apartment. 🐈📦🐈

GOOGLE search says dogs see cats as prey, and cats see dogs as a threat. They don't choose this; it's just hardwired into their brains. And when they live together in a house, they compete with each other for food, territory and human attention. FAKE NEWS! Not a fact, so untrue! Dogs and cats coexist peacefully because they don’t do politics. They are not hoomans. 🐕🥰🐈

MOST recent estimates indicate that more than 1,800 pandas now live in southwestern China, and their numbers are increasing. That trend prompted the country to announce, in 2021, that pandas are no longer endangered. Pandamic! Notice as well that Panda Express by Master Chef Ming-Tsai Cherng are increasing. Ha! 🐼🥢🥡

YOUR dog seems hungry, always? Maybe she has health issues? Diabetes or worms? Side-effect of meds? Stressed over what the cat shares her from Facebook? Not getting enough of the right type of food, including the expensive “The Farmer’s Dog” chow? Hey, that’s just the way it is although Arrow isn’t “hungry” always because when she feels like eating, her wet food and dry food are just around her. Eat! In fact, Arrow eats based on the diet program that Fizz devised for her. 🐕🍽🐕

BOSS is the one who manages and supervises your work and the one whom you refer to during normal daily work, like when Ching and Fizz closely monitors me as I clean their litter box and boss space in the bedroom and bathroom. CHIEF denotes a rank which dogs use to refer to the cat. So you know what a Bosschief is. 😺😾😸

CHILDREN who are into reading have dropped from 79 percent in 2017–18 to 72 percent in 2021–22, says a survey. In 2021, some 97 percent of 3- to 18-year-olds had home internet access, according to another study. Specifically, 93 percent had access through a computer, and 4 percent relied on home internet access via cellphone. The other 3 percent had no internet access at home. Those 3 percent know Orwell, Shakespeare, and Dickinson. That’s the info that Fizz shared with me. 📚👶📚

SOMETIMES, collars with buckles can be irritating for your dog, or sometimes, collars that feel too tight or have to reach over their head can be irritating. Sitting with your dog, using treats, and encouragement to help them bond with the experience of having the collar can help them adjust. Or let the cat convince your dog. Although Ching doesn’t see the sense in collars on her since she (and Fizz) are indoor cats anyways, still–she persuaded Arrow to wear a collar with diverse colors. 🐕🦮🐕‍🦺
