Updates On Neko, Zeezam's Little Rescued Kitten
3rd May 2011, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://www.myanimalcare.org/2011/04/neko-zeezams-l ittle-black-kitty.htmlNeko was rescued by Zeezam along with his siblings but all his siblings died within a few days.

Ginger's 3rd Mange Jab
2nd May 2011, by AnimalCare
I met Alex at the clinic today, to see how Ginger is progressing. Alex had told me earlier she is interested to do more for Ginger (maybe bloodwork, etc.).Ginger arrived in a makeshift carrier made out of a cardboard box and a plastic tray. Apparently, she poo-ed in the car and it was a bit loose, so Alex had to turn back and wash her up. The carrier I lent Alex has now become Ginger's "house".She's not afraid of people at all. From her long hair, she's probably either an...

Reading Your Dog's Ears
2nd May 2011, by AnimalCare
Dogs’ ears come in a wide array of shapes and sizes, and they’re one of the most expressive parts of the body. You have to look closely to read them correctly, however. Positions that look almost the same can mean entirely different things.Raised slightly. Dogs who are happy and comfortable will raise their ears slightly, as though they’re saying, “I’m happy, and I’m paying attention. Just tell me what to do.” When your dog is relaxed, with his tail low and the ears pricked slightl...

Guide To Reading Your Cat's Ears
2nd May 2011, by AnimalCare
Cats have smaller ears than dogs, and there’s less variation in size and shape among different breeds. As a result, their ears often seem less expressive than dogs’. We also tend to pay less attention to cats’ body language because we don’t spend as much time training them as we do dogs. But cats have similar body-language responses.Perked up and slightly forward. This is the classic look of a happy cat: His ears are perked up and slightly forward, and his whiskers are relaxed. Cats who ...

When A Cat Talks...
2nd May 2011, by AnimalCare
Although cats have long, expressive tails, you won’t catch them wagging them. Cats do more of what we call tail twitching, where just the tip of the tail moves. And it rarely means they’re feeling happy when they do it.By the Editors of MyPetHealthGuide.comFast-twitching tipCats who are agitated or irritated seem to channel all of their energy into the top 2 inches of their tails, which will briskly twitch back and forth. Some cats will also twitch their tails when you pet them, right before...

What A Smart Mother-Cat!
1st May 2011, by AnimalCare
Some time last week, Amy brought a mother-cat for spaying under our sponsorship. Apparently, this mother-cat was seen to be pregnant some weeks back and has since delivered, but her kittens were no where to be found. So, Amy thought she had probably lost all her kittens (as some mother-cats are apt to do due to lack of experience), so she brought the mother-cat to be spayed.After the mother-cat was released, one night, she came to Amy's door, and guess what she brought along?Her two ...

Who Is Smarter?
30th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
I thought I'd reproduce Maneki's comments on my earlier posting since it's food for thought:Maneki's:Some years ago, a study came out listing the most and least intelligent dog breeds. Border collies were among the geniuses, and chows & huskies were deemed idiots. When people looked a bit deeper into the research, they realised that what was being tested was not the dog's innate "intelligence" (however that might be defined) but rather each breed's willingness to do what humans asked. Chows ...
