Selecting The Right Stroller For Your Cat

Selecting The Right Stroller For Your Cat
If as they say “a cat has nine lives” then one of their lives is definitely movement. Cats like their bigger cousins in the cat family are constantly on the move, except when dozing in the sun on the ledge of a roof. Curiosity is another of a cat’s qualities that fuels its wandering passion for the new and the novel. Cats like to wander and so do we humans. The cat stroller is certainly one of today’s marvels that enable man and his feline friend to share the joys of a wandering stroll whether it is along the city sidewalks or in the great outdoors. Cat strollers offer the advantage of strolling your sick, injured or aged pet cats so that they get to see the outside their homes which therefore offers them the best therapy for recovery or at least making them comfortable. Cat strollers come in various sizes, colors, shapes and utilities. For instance, speaking of utility, there are double deck strollers that can accommodate two cats at a time. All the strollers have comfortable rest and sleep space and can be conveniently stroll-pushed along city sidewalks or on country paths. Cat strollers have the added advantage of a removable wheel base and this benefits the owner when taking the cat to the vet for treatment, enabling the vet to conveniently examine the cat in the stroller itself. When choosing a cat stroller the first thing is to ensure that your cat can be comfortably placed within the stroller and that the stroller is cushion comfortable. There should be adequate space in the stroller for your pet cat to move around in. Check out the various cat strollers and their features on our website and look out for those special deals that come with the various models. You can now make an informed buying decision for the right stroller for your cat.

Removing Cat Urine from Carpet Steps
Has your cat urinated on your carpet? You can often be successful at removing cat urine from carpet by acting quickly and following the correct steps. Step one is to remove as much urine as possible. For stains that are already dry, re-wetting the area will be needed. Steam cleaners or heat should not be used to remove the liquid as the odor and stain may be set permanently in the carpet. White towels or white paper towels should be placed on top of the spot so that the carpet isn’t discolored from colors in the towels. Put heavy objects such as books on top of the towels so that urine in the pad will also be soaked up, and leave set overnight. Your foot should not be used for pressure so that you don’t get urine on your shoe which could then be tracked onto other carpeting. Next, a specially formulated cat urine removal cleaner should be used after the carpet has dried. Common household cleaners should not be used since the urine needs to be broken down by a chemical process, or the odor will remain. The best cleaner to use will contain enzymes, chemicals, bacteria or a combination of the three to completely remove the smell. Products containing ammonia should not be used as your cat may interpret the smell of ammonia to be cat urine and continue to urinate on that section of carpet. Before applying the cleaner, be sure to test on a small patch of carpet to check for colorfastness. The stain and surrounding area should be soaked thoroughly with the cleaner. Put foil or plastic wrap over the cleaner which will allow the carpet to stay wet longer, giving the cleaner more time work on the stain. After the carpet has dried, if a fresher smell is desired, sprinkle baking soda over the treated area and vacuum. Sniff the carpet to see if the cat urine odor has been completely removed. If you still smell urine odor, you will need to repeat the steps above except treat a larger area this time in case the urine spread further underneath the carpet. If two treatments don’t eradicate the odor, you may have to replace the padding. Treat the subfloor with sealant before laying a new pad to prevent the urine from soaking into the concrete or wood underneath the pad. While cat urine odor can be difficult to remove, with persistence and by following the tips above, you can be successful at eliminating the smell and stain.

Dog Training Part V: The Command Voice
When giving commands to a dog, a calm, firm, authoritative voice is most effective. Dogs do not respond well to hesitant, pleading voices, nor to yelling, which might sound to the dog like threatening barking or scolding. It is also important that the word used for the command and the pitch of the voice be consistent each time the command is delivered so that the dog can more easily learn what the owner means (siiiiiiiiiiiit does not sound the same as sit, for example).

Using the puppy’s name before a command ensures that the dog knows that a command is coming, that it is for him (rather than for other dogs, children, or people), and that he should pay attention. This is important because dogs hear a lot of human speech that has no relevance for them at all, and it is easy for them to disregard commands amongst the babble.

To reinforce the command, the dog always gets some kind of reward or reinforcement (praise and usually a treat or toy) when it performs the action correctly. This helps the dog to understand that he has done a good thing.

Note that not all dogs are trained to voice command. Many working breeds of dog are not trained to a voice command at all; they are taught to obey a combination of whistles and hand signals. Deaf dogs are perfectly capable of learning to obey visual signals alone. Many obedience classes teach hand signals for common commands in addition to voice signals; these signals can be useful in quiet situations, at a distance, and in advanced obedience competitions.

The specific command words are not important, although common words in English include sit, down, come, and stay. Short, clear words that are easily understood by other humans are generally recommended; that way, people will understand what a handler is telling his dog to do and other handlers have a good chance of controlling someone else’s dog if necessary. In fact, dogs can learn commands in any language or other communications medium, including whistles, mouth sounds, hand gestures, and so forth.
