Cat facts 4 # lover...
1. Unlike humans, cats cannot detect sweetness–which likely explains why they are not drawn to it at all.
2. Ginger tabby cats can have freckles around their mouths and on their eyelids!
3. A cat has the power to sometimes heal themselves by purring. A domestic cat’s purr has a frequency of between 25 and 150 Hertz, which happens to be the frequency at which muscles and bones best grow and repair themselves.
4. Cats only use their meows to talk to humans, not each other. The only time they meow to communicate with other felines is when they are kittens to signal to their mother.
5. Despite imagery of cats happily drinking milk from saucers, studies indicate that cats are actually lactose intolerant and should avoid it entirely.
6. The longest living cat on record according to the Guinness Book belongs to the late Creme Puff of Austin, Texas who lived to the ripe old age of 38 years and 3 days!
7. The Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) recognizes 44 breeds of cats.
8. A cat’s cerebral cortex contains about twice as many neurons as that of dogs. Cats have 300 million neurons, whereas dogs have about 160 million. See, cats rule, dogs drool!
9. Polydactyl cats (a cat with 1-2 extra toes on their paws) have this as a result of a genetic mutation. These cats are also referred to as “Hemingway cats” because writer Ernest Hemingway reportedly owned dozens of them at his home in Key West, Florida.
10. Sir Isaac Newton is credited with creating the concept for the pet doorthat many cats use today to travel outdoors.
11. The average cat can jump 8 feet in a single bound–nearly six times its body length!

Every morning I get up and write 2000 words, this is my schedule without fail. I'm currently writing a book about rescuing toy breed dogs - todayI wrote about barking.... (funny that Darcie 😂)

Here's a bit of a taster from it.

A dog might bark for space, for connection, because they are scared, or because they are excited.

Space could include being out on walks, but it could also include barking at things outside the home to prevent them from coming in, this could be based in fear.

Or if a little dog barks when someone comes into their home, they might be barking because their nervous system is responding as if they are in danger.

Or they could seem to be barking in (seemingly) exactly the same way but actually be asking for connection.

Sometimes people use anti-bark collars, this is a terrible idea ethically and behaviourally.

If a dog is mobilised into barking through a sympathetic response, then an unpleasant suppressor such as an anti-bark collar is going to send their nervous system into a freeze response.

So, while the barking might be intimidated out of the dog, their health, welfare, and well-being will suffer greatly.

Barking is communication. I don’t know you, but I presume you don’t spend a lot of time shouting to be heard.

Dogs are not noisy creatures, they are generally observers, their body language is subtle and swift, they only shout when they are ignored or have a long history of being ignored so have built a habit.

When dogs bark, they are often just trying to be heard and show us exactly what they need.

We, in turn, need to listen, identify, and meet their needs long before we begin working with the bark.

As a side note, Chips seems to have handed the bark in the garden mantel directly to Darcie. 🥰🥹😅
