Ash is a sweet 4.5-year-old American Bulldog mix. He loves people and his favorite pastime is going for long strolls in the desert hunting lizards. He walks well on a leash and enjoys riding in the car. We think he may be part kangaroo because he can jump a fence and needs at least a six foot fence. Ash has some food sensitivities and needs a limited ingredient diet. He is looking for a forever home where he is the only dog. Ash has been waiting for three years to find his soul mate. Do you have room in your heart and home to love him?
Me and Ow here. Before Watson went over the rainbow bridge, he asked us to inform his readers about cats. He didn’t know much about cats and their skill set, but we do. One of the first amazing things we would like to talk about are our ears.
We have ears that rotate like satellite dishes. The earflap called the pinna can rotate 180 degrees allowing us to take in sounds from all directions. Using our sonic ears, we can pinpoint the exact location of prey and avoid predators. In fact, we can hear four to five times farther than humans and we can hear high-pitch sounds.
Rumor has it that cats always land on all four feet. That is mostly true, however occasionally we have a bad fall. Our balance is the reason we have such a good track record on landing. The inner ear is what gives us our stellar sense of balance. Three cheers for cats’ ears!
Another tasty fact about cats is our tongue. We have difficulty tasting sweet and salty foods due to our genetic programming. Actually, our taste buds prefer high-protein and high-fat food. In the wild, we rely on our sense of taste to keep us from eating something deadly.
House cats are a different story we turn up our noses at anything salty or sweet. Just give us the meat and skip the sweet. Speaking of high-protein we are about to indulge in some carnivorous treats. Yum!
XOXO
