Kneading!

This cute behavior is often accompanied by purring and a relaxed cat.
Reason cats knead:
- Instinctual behavior: mimics nursing and stimulates memories of comfort and security.
- Marking territory: releases pheromones from scent glands in their paws.
- Stretching and exercise: loosens muscles and flexes claws.
- Showing affection: a sign of contentment, relaxation, and trust.
- Creating a comfortable spot: prepares a cozy area for rest or sleep.

Lip curling also known as the 'Flahmen Response'!

Horses curl their upper lip (Flehmen response) due to:

- Detecting pheromones: to gather info about reproductive status or social cues.
- Exploring environment: to investigate interesting smells or tastes.
- Enhancing sense of smell: exposes vomeronasal organ to process chemical signals.
- Curiosity or interest: a natural response to novel or intriguing scents.

The Flahmen Response is not limited to just horses. It is actually seen is most mammal species.

When is lip curling something to worry about in horses?

Excessive lip curling or repeatedly lip curling can be a sign of pain of discomfort especially when accompanied by other signs of distress like pawing, pacing, side biting, etc.

Whale Eyes!

A subtle and often missed or overlooked sign your dog is giving you. What does it mean?

Whale eyes in dogs refer to when they show the whites of their eyes, usually while keeping their head pointed in a different direction. It's like they're giving you the "side eye". It's a sign that something's bothering them. This behavior is often accompanied by other signs of discomfort, like pinned ears, a low tail, and a tense mouth.

Dogs exhibit whale eyes when they're feeling anxious, stressed, fearful, or uncomfortable. This could be due to:
1. Unfamiliar environments or people: Dogs may feel overwhelmed by new surroundings or individuals.
2. Pain or discomfort: Physical pain or discomfort can cause dogs to display whale eyes.
3. Resource guarding: Dogs may show whale eyes when guarding food, toys, or other valuable resources.
4.Fear or anxiety: Loud noises, sudden movements, or past traumas can trigger whale eyes.
5. Appeasement behavior: Dogs may exhibit whale eyes when they're are feeling uncomfortable and try to appease their owners.

It's important to recognize whale eyes and respond appropriately to avoid escalating the situation. If you notice your dog displaying whale eyes, give them space and try to identify the trigger.
