The Cat Slippers, Predatory Snappy to Lazy Pet

The cats are naturally agile, nimble and responsive to external stimuli. Since they live in our homes, however, are impigrendo and overweight that affects many cats struggling with a life purely indoor proves it, with related diseases, see diabetes.

An older cat who may suffer from arthritis is quite normal that it is less lively and responsive, a little lethargic short, although we must continue to stimulate it to keep it shiny and make them do some healthy exercise every day.

It Is True That Pope Ratzinger Has a Cat

An urban legend. The fact that Pope Benedict XVI has a cat with him in the papal apartment, and that if it is brought back from the apartment where he lived when he was a Cardinal is a fake. Yes Ratzinger loves cats, but there is no cat ambushes in the loggias of Raphael. So said Don Alfred Xuereb, second secretary of the Pope, who since 2007 worked with the pontiff. Don Alfred said :

"It is true that we have a cat at home, even though Pope Benedict loves animals very much. It is said that a cardinal occasionally stopped in the street to call their cat. Someone asked: Excuse eminence, the cats speak in German or Italian? They do not understand the language, but the tone of voice, yes, he objected. "

No cats in the Vatican, then. And to think that some say that the pope had a cat could make it more friendly to ...

U.S. election: Mitt Romney and His Dog (on the roof of the car)

We know that when you run for political office some aspects of his life are sieved by everyone from pros to highlight the merits of the candidate and against it to show its flaws. If the nomination, then, is for the White House, then the question becomes painstaking. This is happening in the U.S. with the various candidates. What interests us is Mitt Romney 's favored candidate in the primaries Republican who is leading the so-called Crate Gate ("crate" is the kennel for dogs). What does this mean?

The story dates back to 1983, and Romney, who was then living in Boston, went with his family for the holidays. Meta: Ontario, Canada. The Romney family decided to bring with them Seamus the Setter Irish family. Where would settle the Romney? In the kennel. And we can stay up here. The problem is that they tied the crate on the roof of the car. Seamus was terrified and afraid for a lot, did a poo on the machine.

The story was floated by Newt Gingrich, Romney's opponent, and Gail Collins, columnist for the New York Times, uses this story as often as it can to make Romney look bad: so far has written to 53 times of misfortune, so that the New Yorker decided to create a cover page with each other (instead of putting poor Seamus, however, that another challenger to Romney and Rick Santorum ).

Sure, it's sad to read of a person - whether or not a candidate to the White House - which ties his dog on the roof of the car ...

A Bill Against The Pops New Year's to Protect Animals

A proposed law against the barrels. To formulate the AIDAA, the Italian Association for Defense of Animals and the Environment. After the Easter holidays the bill against the barrels will be discussed at the Chamber of Deputies. Animal News that we have been waiting for.

Several cities have banned the barrels to prevent not only deaths and wounded among humans but also to avert the deaths of birds, cats, dogs that occur each year because of the barrels. Thousands. Many dogs and cats run away in terror, taking advantage of an open door or because they are already out with the owners and go astray and are invested. Many birds die of a broken heart. In short, the barrels are all funny except for the animals. Just look at the terror and fear in the eyes of our dog, or watch the cat hiding under the bed just to get away from the noise.

If we add that the fireworks pollute (lead to higher levels of PM10) and cause many deaths in the preparation of those are real bombs, the reasons to get rid of this stupid tradition becomes many, and all pretty good. Making illegal bangers is the most sensible solution. AIDAA writes:

The problem is not resolved with simple orders made in the days behind the New Year, and also with the approach of summer the problem of barrels and fireworks recurs especially in tourist areas. From here the bill that aims to identify and demarcate the less harmful and noisy bangers New Year, but which also contains regulatory sanctions as an important stop for those who hold and make use of any illegal nature of barrels, and the obligation for payment of medical expenses and hospital care for those who are injured while handling fireworks prohibited, in addition to those that delayed the arrest through the use of illegal fireworks or barrels causing death and injury among humans and among animals.

Video: The Dog and The Shower

I envy those who have made this video so much. When should I wash my dog, I have seen that even in the shower, is a drama. First I must take it because I do not know how, but it feels when I wash it. Then, once inside, I do not keep him out, which results in half a shower for me. At the end I have to be so quick to not make me do the other half shower when you shake to dry. But look at this dog, the shower is so quiet!

Yoda, The World's Ugliest Dog, Died

Yoda, the world's ugliest dog, died. It was certainly lovely to look weird with that tuft, his tongue out, and hairless. Unfortunately, Yoda was so because it had been abandoned. When Terry Schumacher saw him behind a building, he thought it was a great mouse, since it does not even weigh a pound and was terrified. 

Terry took it with him and took care of and between the two has created an unbreakable bond. Terry said he will miss the way "fun and funny" Yoda, but greets her friend saying he was happy because went to my father and my mother, who loved her so much. His memory will live forever.

We send you a scratch Yoda, beyond the physical appearance (which, frankly, is quite secondary), has managed to cling to life and, with help from Terry Schumacher, has turned what could be a "defect "in a matter of pride.

Gattari by Wire: One Small Thing

This morning I pretended to be a country woman. First, I carefully raked the garden, the cats followed me like a dolphin in the wake of a ship, chasing everything, six or eight feet, fled under my furious strokes. Using an average five times more force than necessary, the rake I flew in a inaccessible point of the fence, leaving me speechless with his stick in his hand. And there it was, because all things six-and eight-legged fled to me and the cats were waiting for me there, I heard them laughing.

Determined to continue my day out, I started to pour streams of stain on the wooden platform, and the effect, after a few minutes, he was curious: the clumsy brushwork has added a decorative pattern in the shape of cat's paws. Sweet, soft, soft paws. Given the record, I was not at all surprised or irritated. I surrendered. I put the brushes, I closed the jar and I lay like a lizard in the sun.

With eyes closed, I heard a mustache that tickled my face, and others who did the same with my hand while something biting my thumb. We were all four so for half an hour to brown the first side and then another. Trilussa was right:

"There's a bee alights on a button of pink sucks and leaves. All in all, happiness is a little thing."

Cats as a Metaphor For Modern Readers

There is a ferment in the whole network for what is to be read and what not, if a book is in the classification is necessarily a good book or just a matter of marketing and so on. 

According to La Capria the problem is that we are not accustomed to reading books and beautiful that is why we are satisfied with everything. To explain his point of view, the writer Raffaele La Capria uses the example of cats, and domestic "not those of the heroic age in which fed on mice or scraps of food." Writes Raffaele La Capria :

To lazy to do my cats food packaged in cans, and the menu is varied, so many tastes, not just meat or chicken, but also refined combinations of skipjack tuna with papaya, ginseng, fish of the Atlantic, Pacific Ocean fish. I am so disgusted, poor cat, this packaged food that I have to constantly change. Would you like turkey? No? Then fish the Atlantic? Even. Fish of the Pacific? Finally they became so uncertain that no appetite, and to awaken their true instincts have given them fresh fish, crispy anchovies day, small mackerel, fragaglia Mediterranean fish. 

Well they do not recognize them as they had lost their natural instinct. Even the beef tenderloin, cut into small pieces from my plate and offered to them with grace, even that schifavano. Are you a cat or not, or not you are nuts? Nothing, not even the thread. Nothing really more natural they recognized.

He concludes: "Sometimes the metaphor?".
