Increasingly people are finding that they are allergic to cats (as well as other things), but unfortunately this isn’t realized until they have bought the cat into their home. Not only does it become an upsetting issue for the family who then have to decide what to do with their new pet, but the cat’s outlook becomes a little bleaker!
As allergies aren’t uncommon, it’s best to investigate whether or not you, or any other member of the household, have an allergy to cats before you bring one into your home. There are a couple of easy ways to do this; firstly you can simply be around cats and see what happens. Read the rest of this entry »
If you decide you want to go through the effort of home-cooking for your cat and feeding her a raw diet, you should know the following:
- As carnivores cats need animal protein of about 60%. The best proteins are found in raw or cooked ground beef, chicken, turkey, and other meats.
- Add a tablespoon of organ meat twice a week.
- 20% of the feline diet should consist of vegetables. Use the broth from boiling the organs to steam the veggies. Steam some carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, whatever your cat favors.
- Another 20% goes to the grains. Cooked brown rice is most digestible grain food out there. Read the rest of this entry »
Have you ever wondered if you cat would do good on a leash where you have more control over her? You might be surprised to hear that just about every cat can be trained to walk on a leash.
Try the following:
- Buy a harness for you cat. Do not use a collar.
- Keep the harness and leash around your cat so she becomes familiar with it.
- After a few days put the harness on your cat and feed her immediately afterwards. Follow the direction on the harness so it won't be too tight. 2 fingers should be able to fit between the harness and the cat's skin.
- Should the harness start to bother him distract him with some treats and toys.
- Remove the harness once he starts to feel comfortable with it.
- Do all the above for a week and leaving the harness for longer each time.
- After that week put the leash on the harness and let the cat drag it behind her. Make sure she doesn't get tangled up! Reward her a lot.
- After he got used to the leash dragging behind him, start picking up the leash, but do not allow tension, just walk behind her with the leash loose in your hand.
- After a few days of that, start pulling on the leash a little bit and encourage your cat to come towards you with a treat. If she is resistant, do not fight her.
- After you are satisfied that your cat is comfortable with the harness and leash, move the exercise to the outdoors.
- Slowly stay out longer and longer and move further and further away from your property. Eventually your cat will walk on the leash like a trained dog!

I have given myself a challenge. Basically I want to write a guide to being a competent SEO in 400 words or less. I want to get my first shit hot SEO document printed and I think the market that I would like to go for are people who want to do SEO for a small website. I think I never read article that the complete layman can actually use. 400 word I think is steep, since not only will this require enough description so that people can continue, but it will need to provide you with enough information that the people can follow the step by step instructions. It's going to be a challenge because I'm not really know for being brief, since for example this post up to this point is 134 words. Which is coming up for being half the document already.
Soooo Watch this space. I'll post up a link once it is done.
Finally we seem to be progressing with the site.
