SOME cats have the tendency to destroy expensive furniture or scratch your skin. Unfortunately it is in their nature to do so, so stopping the behaviour completely is virtually impossible, but you can prevent it from happening all too often. Deploy a scratching post and divert your cat’s claws away…
A TERM given to the bratty behaviour of small dogs, small dog syndrome is when the animal will bark at their owners continuously until they get what they want. Because small dogs appear innocent and harmless, some owners forget that they are dogs and not little humans. To stop the…
DO NOT underestimate your slow, unassuming pet. Goldfish have sharp memories, often remembering the person that feeds them. Unlike the archetypal saying that goldfish only have a three second memory, their minds can in fact recognise a person after a three-month separation. Also, all varieties of goldfish can see beyond…
WITH proper technique, parrots can be trained to say the right words when required. They can talk because their tongue is shaped like humans. Of all parrot species, the easiest to train to speak are African Grey parrots. Generally, the smaller the parrot, the harder they are to be taught…
RABBIT obesity is among the number one killers of pet rabbits. Not only will it lower their quality of life, but will shorten it abruptly. The top cause of rabbit obesity is spoiling them too much with treats, as it is sometimes difficult for owners to keep track of how…

ANIMALS are prone to feelings like humans. The latest discovery is depressed dogs. Although all hounds are susceptible, small, affectionate breeds that tend to be close to their owners are more prone to anxiety and sadness when they’re separated for long periods of time. Depression in dogs can be triggered…

IT IS natural for a pet parrot to screech, but to minimise the noise, make sure it is continually entertained and stimulated. Perhaps buy another parrot as company. Also, bird toys are essential; entertaining and colourful games that allow your pets to forage, shred, chew, and preen keep their minds…
IT MAY come as a surprise, but goldfish can get sea sick. Even though they cannot survive a couple of minutes out of water, their ears are located in their heads like humans, so they get motion sickness when the water is rough. That’s why they’re best raised in a…
RABBITS that live indoors will have a higher quality of life and will live longer; for 10 to 15 years. If kept outside in a hutch, they are subject to predators and stresses from the weather. One suggestion is to have an area penned-off, so the rabbit can move around…
WHEN a cat runs, its legs are extended fully in the air, and then brought down and back. The cat's extremely flexible spine allows its rear end to move, even while the forelimbs are on the ground. The cat moves faster by stretching its trunk fully, making the stride longer.…

DOGS will remain loyal to their masters for life. When a dog sees that someone loves, cares for, and protects them, they become entirely loyal to that person. Also, by nature dogs are considered pack animals, meaning that when in the wild, they roll in groups or families of dogs…
SAVE your goldfish from indigestion trouble by feeding it a small amount of food several times a day instead of feeding it a huge portion in one seating. Goldfish have no stomach to hold and digest ingested food. Instead, the food continuously travels from the mouth and out the other…
