The 10 Most Popular Cat Breeds



There are about 90 million pet cats in the U.S. according to census data. This means there are many more whose owners do not claim them as pets even though they take care of them. Many of these cats are identified as domestic longhairs or domestic shorthairs and only about 3-5% are purebred. The list of cat breeds is large - most registries recognize around 40 breeds of cats and at least one new breed is added yearly.


Purebred cat lovers generally choose a breed that is similar to their personality. A person who is reserved and introverted might choose a breed such as the somewhat aloof Scottish Fold or the American Curl. A person who is more outgoing and is looking for a dog-like cat might choose the Manx or the Birman. Cat owners are also drawn to cats based on their looks. From the sleek Siamese to the rough and tumble Maine Coon, you'll find that often a cat does look like his person.





1. The Persian: This breed has been number one since the CFA first started keeping records in 1871. Persians are affectionate and loyal but need their long fur groomed every day.


2. The Maine Coon: This breed has been in second place since 1992 and it's no wonder. This is a very gentle, loving creature who is large by cat-size. They weigh between 15 and 25 lbs. and have long fur like the Persian. However, they do not need as much grooming as the Persian.


3. The Exotic: This breed is like a Persian but with short fur. Their nickname is "Persian in Pajamas" because of their coloring. They are sweet like a Persian but only need brushing twice a week.


4. The Siamese: The yowl of a Siamese is very familiar to fanciers of this breed. And it's not just for attention - Siamese like to "chat" with their owners. This is a sleek cat who is very athletic. They usually gravitate to one person and are loyal and loving.


5. The Abyssinian: These cats are considered some of the lookers in the cat world. Thin and elegant with a shiny coat, they are active felines, very playful and friendly.


6. The Ragdoll: This breed gets its name from the way these cats go completely limp in your arms when you pick them up. They are cute and cuddly and large like the Maine Coon, weighing between 10 and 20 lbs. (males tend to be larger). This is a breed that should always be kept inside as they are very docile and would likely not defend themselves outside.


7. The Birman: If you want a cat that is dog-like, the Birman is a good choice. He is friendly, outgoing, even-tempered and flexible, a very rare trait to find in a cat. They are known to come when called and to greet you at the door like a pooch would. They have long silky hair that does not require much grooming.


8. The American Shorthair: This breed originally arrived in America on the Mayflower. They were bred for hunting and thus are excellent hunters, have good health and are a quiet cats. They make great family pets and are especially good with children.


9. The Oriental: This breed looks and behaves like a Siamese but comes in two fur lengths and over 300 color combinations. Their personality is similar to the Siamese but they are quieter.


10. The Sphynx: Known as the "Naked Climber" this breed climbs anything and is lively and athletic. They have an unusual appearance, sans fur, and come in a multitude of different skin colors. They are loyal and loving and demand constant attention.

Featured Dog Breed of the Week: Dalmatian

I've decided to make things here at Animals Are Everywhere a little more exciting. Every week we will now be profiling a different dog breed. This week it's the Dalmatian!




Height: 19-24 inches
Size: Medium
Weight: 55-70 pounds (male); 40-55 (female)

Description
The familiar dapper black-and-white spotted dog of Disney fame, the Dalmatian is a symmetrical, muscular medium sized dog with superior endurance. He has soft ears and a tail that tapers to the end. Puppies are born completely white, with the spots developing later. Spots should be well defined and should not blend together into large patches. The short coat is sleek and shiny. Dalmatians can also come with liver-colored spots, though that type is not as popular.

History
Though his origins are far from clear, the Dalmatian was first historically placed in Dalmatia, part of the former Yugoslavia. The breed became popular as a carriage dog in the 1800’s, trotting beside (and even among) the horses and then guarding the carriage and horses while the master was occupied elsewhere. The versatile Dalmatian has seen many uses, before and since, as a mascot for firemen, war sentinel, circus performer, vermin hunter, retriever, hound, shepherd and guard dog. Today, this beautiful breed is primarily a companion dog.

Key Facts
The Dalamatian is a hardy, easy to keep breed, though frequent brushing is needed to cope with the constant shedding. Dalmatians are clean, with no doggy odor. They often have large litters, sometimes up to 15 pups. The Dalmatian is a very energetic breed, and needs daily romps to prevent destructiveness. Deafness affects 10–12% of Dalmatian puppies. Every Dalmatian puppy should be BAER-tested for deafness. Because Dalmatians are so popular, and people are breeding indiscriminately, deafness is on the rise. Those people thinking about breeding their Dalmatian must be willing to deal responsibly with any deaf puppies in the litter. Deaf dogs may be difficult to raise, and can become aggressive and snappish from fear. Many are run over by cars if they ever "escape" from home. For these reasons, and to help reduce the incidence of deafness in the Dalmatian gene pool, the Dalmatian Club of America encourages humane euthanisation of all deaf puppies, though this policy is somewhat controversial. Buy only from a reputable breeder to avoid this serious problem and to ensure good temperament. Buy only from OFA stock to avoid hip dysplasia, though hip dysplasia incidence in the breed is quite low. The Dalmation is also prone to kidney problems. Uric acid levels in Dalmatians are higher than in any other breed, sometimes causing urinary blockage. Veterinarians may recommend a low protein diet for this breed to prevent urinary tract problems. Do not keep Dalmatians outside in the cold

Personality
Playful and happy-go-lucky, Dalmatians need human companionship, so they don’t make good yard dogs. The very energetic Dalmatian loves to play with children, but may be too rambunctious for toddlers. Dalmatians tend to get along well with other pets, though they may be aggressive with strange dogs. Males often dislike other males. This breed can be somewhat high-strung and can be timid without enough socialization. Though they are quite intelligent, Dalmatians can be willful. They generally do well with firm, consistent training.

How Do I Treat My Dog's Cold?


Although it's not something to be alarmed about, dog's can also suffer from colds. Actually it's a pretty common sickness that dogs get. Regardless, colds are not something that you should be complacent about just because it happens a lot. So what are the symptoms that you should look out for?


Possible Symptoms of Colds


Usually the first thing that you have to look out for is when your dog starts to sneeze. That means a lot of sneezing. He will then start to have runny eyes while his nose starts to have a yellowish-green discharge which is also known as mucous. You may then start hearing your dog cough from time to time as well.


So How Do I Treat This?


When you suffer from a cold, you usually take medicines and lots and lots of water. This should also be done for your dog. Try to increase your dog's fluid intake, however, most often than not, dogs who suffer from colds try to avoid water. So try giving him a different remedy, like for example, adding broth to his water.


Just like humans, dogs can benefit from steam treatment. Remember how you would often try to put your face in front of a steamer whenever you have a cold? You can also do this for him. Try putting him in a bathroom and fill the room with steam. Let him stay in there for a couple of minutes, fifteen minutes maximum, three times a day. And you will definitely see an improvement from his colds.


Prevention is Better than Cure


No dog owner likes to see their dog suffer from any kind of sickness, even if it's just a cold. So it's always best to try and prevent your dog from getting sick. You can do this by feeding him healthy foods. There are too many options of dog foods out there, but make sure you get a high quality dog food that can provide your dog all the nutritional value he needs. Most people think that giving your dog any type of food is good enough, which couldn't be farther from the truth. But of course, giving your dog a healthy diet will increase and boost your dog's immune system, and will in return help him fight off any possible sickness. It is also essential for you to provide your dogs vitamins. There are many types of vitamins out there, so make sure you do your research to find the best quality dog vitamin available and your dog will benefit greatly, not only be reduced illnesses but in his quality of life and longevity.

Interesting Animals- Tapirs


Tapirs are herbivorous animals as they feed on plants. They are pig-like in shape, with short and prehensile snouts. They inhibit primarily in jungle and forest regions of South and Central part of America, and Southeast Asia. Tapirs are aggressive animals as they will attack furiously when they are annoyed by their enemies. They have a close relationship to other odd-toed ungulates, including rhinoceros and horses.

All tapirs are characterized with features include oval and white-tipped ears, splayed and hoofed toes, rounded and protruding rumps with stubby tails, with three toes on the hind feet and four on the front feet. These characteristics help them to walk on muddy and soft ground. Female tapirs have a single pair of mammary glands while the baby tapirs have stripped-and-spotted coats for camouflage. Adult tapirs are usually large in size and thus they have very few natural predators. The thick skin coated the back of their necks help them to reduce the threats from crocodiles, anacondas, tigers and jaguars.

Robot Fish Has a Future Role in Reducing Water Pollution


I saw this article while looking around online and found it interesting, so I decided to share it.


In the future, robots will not only replace caregivers and make sushi, but they’ll also lend a hand offshore. According to Reuters, a team of European scientists at the University of Essex developed a robo-fish to monitor pollution in waterways. Setting the prototype loose for the first time on Tuesday in Gijón, a northern Spanish port, developers say the “fish” can practically report pollutants in real time.

First showcased at London’s aquarium in 2005, today’s larger version is built to withstand Atlantic currents and high water pressure. Backed by a $3.6 million grant from the E.U., the developers of the 1.5-m-long model hope the robo-fish can offer a more accurate assessment of water conditions. If the prototype proves successful, the roboticists intend to sell the fish, which cost roughly $30,000 each, to port authorities, water companies, aquariums — any organization charged with monitoring water quality.


“The design of fish that nature has produced is a very energy-efficient one,” Rory Doyle, one of the project’s researchers, told CBS. “The fish’s efficiency is created by hundreds of millions of years of evolution. Submarines come nowhere near it.” As the BBC explains, once the robo-fish detects pollution, it uses artificial intelligence to identify the source. When it surfaces, the fish then uses wi-fi to send a report back to port authorities. Like their flesh-and-blood counterparts, the robo-fish can communicate with one another through sensors and a form of sonar.


With oceans still reeling from 2010’s oil spill and shipping traffic expected to double by 2020, the swimming jury could not have come at a better time. One of the world’s most polluting industries, shipping significantly influences the quality of the ocean and air. According to the Guardian, the shipping industry accounts for 18% to 30% of the world’s nitrogen-oxide pollution and 9% of sulfur oxide.

Research shows that just one of the roughly 90,000 cargo ships traveling the world’s oceans pours out the equivalent amount of asthma- and cancer-inducing chemicals as 50 million cars, while the world’s 15 largest ships discharge the same amount of pollution as 760 million cars. “Ship pollution affects the health of communities in coastal and inland regions around the world, yet pollution from ships remains one of the least regulated parts of our global transportation system,” James Corbett, a University of Delaware professor of marine policy and co-author of the report, told the Guardian.

Propelled in part by reports in 2009 that cargo ships led to 60,000 premature deaths annually, and cost a hefty $330 billion in U.S. health care alone, a number of countries — including the U.S., Canada and Singapore — and the E.U. have already imposed relatively stringent regulations, creating low-emission marine zones. However, as China and other emerging Asian nations lacking rigorous safeguards increase their shipping capacities, emissions are expected to increase dramatically over the next decade. If no action to control pollution is taken, the International Maritime Organization estimates that emissions could rise by 72% by 2020. Such increases could have grave implications for seaside dwellers as well as marine creatures.

While the primary purpose for the robo-fish at this point is to monitor water pollution, that’s not all the roboticists have planned. As the technology becomes more refined, they hope to eventually harness schools of robo-fish task forces to aid in oil-spill cleanups, monitor dives or search and rescue at sea.

10 Good Reasons To Own A Dog



Dogs are very special animals and they quickly form a bond with their owners. Some dogs bond with only one person and others spread their love around. It is also healthy to own a dog, both physically and mentally.

Reason #10
Dogs force you to get out and exercise because you know they need the exercise and you feel guilty if you don’t take them out. But once you take them out you will find you will also enjoy the exercise.

Reason #9
Walk a dog – make new friends! Most people love to stop and talk to you about the dog and ask permission to pet him or her, especially children.

Reason #8
Dogs love attention – by paying attention to their needs, your own problems and worries are forgotten.

Reason #7
Excellent heaters! Even little dogs put off a lot of heat and warm you up on a cold winter’s night.

 Reason #6
Studies have shown dogs help reduce stress and lower your blood pressure. That is one reason why dogs are popular for pet therapy programs at hospitals and nursing homes.

 Reason #5
Dogs make your home more secure. They alert you when someone is approaching long before you hear them. A dog on the property usually scares away any would-be intruders.

 Reason #4
Someone to talk to that actually listens….and they never argue with you!  Many pet owners claim their dog knows exactly what they are saying to them.

 Reason #3
Dogs provide companionship. You are never alone with a dog in the house.

Reason #2
Dogs have the ability to sense your mood and know when you need some loving attention. They can rid you of a bad mood in a few minutes.

And the #1 reason to own a dog is:
Unconditional love. No matter what, your dog will always come running and greet you with enthusiasm and never-ending love. Even if you are only gone for a short period of time, the response is always the same.

Interesting Animals- Pygmy Marmoset


The Pygmy Marmoset (Callithrix (Cebuella) pygmaea) is a monkey native to the rainforest canopies of western Brazil, southeastern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, and eastern Peru. It is one of the smallest primates, with its body length ranging from 14-16 cm (excluding the 15-20 cm tail) and the smallest monkey. Males weigh around 140 g (5 ounces), and females only 120 g (4.2 ounces).
Despite its name, the Pygmy Marmoset is somewhat different from the typical marmosets classified in genus Callithrix. As such, it is accorded its own subgenus, which was formerly recognized as its own genus, Cebuella.
The Pygmy Marmoset has a tawny coat, and a ringed tail that can be as long as its body. Their claws are specially adapted for climbing trees, a trait unique to the species. They are omnivorous, feeding on fruit, leaves, insects, and sometimes even small reptiles. Much of their diet, however, comes from tapping trees for sap. Up to two-thirds of their time is spent gouging tree bark to reach the gummy sap. The Pygmy Marmoset has specialized incisors for gouging holes in bark. Unfortunately, because of its small size, and its swift movements, it is very hard to observe in the wild.

Amazing Animal Facts


1. The blue whale is the largest creature that has ever lived on earth. It tips the scales at a whopping 170 tons - that's the same as about 22 elephants. Its heart is the size of a small car, and its largest blood vessels are wide enough for an adult to swim through without much difficulty.
2. The largest land animal in the world is the Kodiak bear. It weighs about 862 kilograms, which is roughly the same as 14 male gymnasts.
3. Woodpeckers slam their heads into wood at a rate of 20 pecks per second. What protects them from injury is a spongy area that sits behind their beaks and acts as a shock absorber.
4. Approximately 50 percent of all orangutans have fractured bones, a result of falling off of trees on a regular basis.
5. Giraffes and humans have the same number of bones in their necks: seven.
6. When a lion wants to mate, he cannot be stopped. Copulation occurs every 15 minutes for one week straight. Luckily for lionesses, lions only want to mate once every two years.
7. All clams are born as males. A clam can change to become a female, but only once, and the change is irreversible.
8. The brain of a roach is located inside of its body. If a roach loses its head, it can live up to nine days. A decapitated roach dies not because it cannot think, but because it cannot eat.
9. The koala does not need to drink liquids; it can obtain all of its liquids from eucalyptus leaves which are 50 percent water.
10. African elephants produce approximately 100 kilograms of manure per day. Most of this manure is eaten up by beetles.
11. A bird called the great tit produces its waste in enclosed sacs that it later removes from its nest. The average great tit removes approximately 500 sacs of manure from its nest each week.
12. Frogs cannot vomit. Whenever a frog absolutely has to vomit, it vomits its entire stomach.
13. The hummingbird flaps its wings 55 to 75 times per second. In order to fuel this activity, it eats approximately twice its weight in nectar every day.
14. When hunting in packs, wolves use different howls to communicate with one another. Because echoes can distort communication, a wolf's howl does not produce an echo, even when emitted in a valley surrounded by mountains.
15. The monarch butterfly can detect its lover's scent eight kilometers away.
16. The water spider lives underwater but breathes air by using its web to create an underwater sac that stores air bubbles.
17. The whitetail deer causes more harm to humans than any other animals do because of the number of traffic accidents that they are involved in.
18. On average, sharks kill 10 humans every year. Approximately 100 people die each year when they are stepped on by cows.

Furless Kitty Kat



Sphynx are most commonly known as a "Hairless Cat." This isn't entirely true. Sphynx have "peach fuzz" like hair that cover their bodies. Sphynx come in all different colors, from Calico to tuxedo markings. Sphynx have very vibrant colored eyes and very wrinkly bodies. They need to be bathed weekly and get their ears cleaned. They love to be warm, snuggle, and always have attention.

The Benefits of a Raw Diet for Your Cat


Cats are predators. They evolved eating a prey based diet, and more importantly, eating that diet raw. Cooking degrades nutrients in meat, causing losses of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Meat used in highly processed pet food is cooked at high temperatures and the nutrients lost must then be added back in. This supplementation is not exact, and there are nutrient losses which aren't always replaced.
Cats in the wild eat the bones of their prey, as raw bone is highly digestible and is their primary source of calcium. Cooking bone not only reduces the nutrients available but also makes the bone brittle and dangerous to ingest.
Providing your cats with a diet that is modeled on what they would eat in the wild has many benefits, for you and your cat.
  • Improved digestion
  • Greatly reduced stool odor and volume
  • Healthy coat, less shedding, fewer hairballs
  • Increased energy
  • Weight loss, if overweight
  • Better dental health
  • Better urinary health
Improved Digestion
Cats are obligate carnivores, they must eat meat. Their digestive systems are adapted specifically for a meat based diet. A cat's digestive tract is short and acidic, and processes a species-appropriate raw diet highly efficiently in about 12 hours. This gives very little time for bacteria to proliferate, so cats are naturally resistant to food poisoning.
Cats have no requirement for carbohydrates and limited ability to digest them. For cats, a raw meat diet is more digestible than a diet of plant based foods. Because they evolved eating a diet with almost no carbohydrates, they have only one enzyme system capable of handling them. This is quite different from humans and dogs who have multiple enzyme systems that digest carbohydrates.
Greatly Reduced Stool Odor and Volume
When cats are fed a proper diet, their bodies use most of their food, so there is much less stool volume. Stool production can be cut in half. They also eliminate less often, sometimes once a day or even less. Their stools are often dry, a little crumbly and hardly smell at all. In the wild, this makes sense for a predator that is small enough to also have to worry about being preyed upon itself. It wouldn't want to be leaving too many smelly advertisements of its presence.
When cats are fed a diet with a large amount of carbohydrates, their systems will struggle to digest the excess carbs. Since much of what they eat isn't being efficiently processed by their systems, the amount of waste is much greater than it should be. Those big, gloppy, smelly puddles in the litter box are not normal.
Healthy Coat, Less Shedding, Fewer Hairballs
After a few weeks on a raw diet, people notice that their cat's coat has gotten softer and silkier. Cats require unsaturated fatty acids, omega-6 and omega-3, in their diets. These need to be from animal sources, as cats have a limited ability to make these acids from plant derived precursors. These essential fatty acids contribute to healthy skin and coats, reducing shedding and thus the incidence of hairballs.
Increased Energy
After switching to a raw diet, people notice how much more energy their cats have. Couch potatoes start running around and playing! Through a species-appropriate raw diet, cats are getting more readily available energy from their food.
Cats are uniquely adapted to utilize protein for their energy requirements. Cats essentially "burn" protein, turning it into energy in their liver in a process called gluconeogenesis. Animals such as dogs and humans also burn protein in this way, but turn it on and off depending on how much protein is available. Cats can't do this; their "burn rate" is always on high, thus their absolute requirement for high quality protein from meat sources.
Weight Loss
If your cats are overweight, they will most likely start to lose weight on a raw diet. Cats will overeat when fed an improper diet, trying to make up for the nutritional deficiencies in the food. Usually they won't overeat when fed a species-appropriate raw diet, as the diet is satisfying to them. They don't feel hungry all the time. Cats that used to wake you up in the middle of the night for food, acting as if they are starving, start sleeping right through the night. The increase in energy they have will also help them burn off more calories.
Better Dental Health
Just as in humans, dental health in cats partly depends on genetics. Cats in the wild usually don't have gum disease or tooth loss due to periodontal disease. Why? Chewing on raw bones, meat, connective tissue, skin and fur helps keep the teeth clean. Carbohydrates create a starchy film that promotes plaque buildup and encourages gum disease. Carbohydrate laden food will not help control tartar. Reducing or eliminating carbohydrates in your cats diet will help keep dental disease at bay, and providing raw meaty bones to chew on is "nature's toothbrush" for cats. This is important as the bacteria from dental infections can spread to other parts of the body.
Better Urinary Health
Raw diets have a high moisture content of about 65 to 70% that mimics that of natural prey; a mouse is 65-75% moisture. Carbohydrate laden, low moisture foods, specifically dry food, cause alkaline urine and chronic dehydration in cats. This can lead to urinary tract inflammation. Because they get enough moisture in their food, cats in the wild don't often have urinary tract problems.
Peace of Mind
Perhaps the best benefit of feeding a raw diet is the peace of mind it can give you. Realizing that cats evolved to eat a diet that is about as unprocessed as it can get, many people have become concerned about the highly processed pet food they feed their pets. Raw diets are different. The ingredients are simple and identifiable, processing is minimal and it's either fresh or fresh frozen. You know what you are feeding your pet.

Share Table Foods With Your Hamster





A well-balanced diet for a hamster includes more than just seed mix or pellets. Fresh foods from your own kitchen are important as well. They provide variety and add interest to the hamster’s meals. Foods that can be added to a hamster’s diet include fruits and meats. Not every food is beneficial for hamsters, however. Here’s what to know about giving fresh food to hamsters.

Fruits & Vegetables

Fruits hamsters can eat include apples, bananas and raisins. Other fruits hamsters are known to enjoy are pears, strawberries, mangoes and honeydew melon.
Fruit is healthy, tastes good, and gives a hamster something tasty to chew on. It should be given only in small amounts (about a teaspoon), and no more than once or twice a week. Too much fruit can cause diarrhea. If this happens, withhold fresh food until the diarrhea clears up, and make sure the hamster drinks plenty of water to prevent dehydration. Reintroduce fresh foods gradually and in smaller amounts.
Avoid giving apples, bananas, corn and carrots to dwarf hamsters. These fruits and vegetables are high in sugar and can contribute to the development of diabetes, which is common in the dwarf species.

Protein Sources 

Hamsters also enjoy a bit of protein now and then. In the wild, they’re known to eat small insects such as crickets and mealworms. If you’re not squeamish, give your hamster a cricket or mealworms as a treat once in a while. Hamsters will also eat a little plain boiled chicken or a bit of fish. Avoid highly spiced meats.
It’s sometimes believed that giving a hamster meat will cause it to eat its young (cannibalism), but that’s not correct. Cannibalism tends to occur when a female doesn’t have enough resources to provide food and water for her babies or if the offspring appear to be unhealthy. Hamsters may also kill and eat each other if their environment is noisy, crowded, unclean or otherwise stressful.

Table Foods To Avoid

Not every food is safe or healthy for hamsters. Fruits and vegetables that are overly ripe or that have a high water content can cause diarrhea. Sugary and fatty foods are high in calories and cause obesity. Sticky foods or foods with sharp edges can cause obstructions in or injuries to the pouch. And some foods are toxic, causing illness or even death.
Avoid giving a hamster the following foods:
  • Apple seeds
  • Raw beans
  • Candy or chocolate
  • Garlic and onions
  • Fast food such as hamburgers, fried chicken and French fries
  • Leaves or greens that have been exposed to pesticides or other toxic substances
  • Parsley
  • Sprouting potato buds or raw potatoes
  • Rhubarb
  • Green parts of tomatoes
