How to toilet train your Cat


Did you know that a cat can be trained to use a toilet? It's true! Cats are very intelligent animals.Imagine how amazed your friends and family will be when they see that your cat uses the toilet! No more litter box to clean and refill and no more litterbox smell.Many cats instinctively bury their waste to hide the scent from potential predators. When you toilet train your cat, you condition him to abandon those instincts in favor of simply dropping his waste into a water-filled container. On the other hand, cats are clean-freaks, so the absence of odors associated with a litter box may well fit in with their natural predilection.

Dog intelligent

scDog intelligence is the ability of a dog to learn, think, and solve problems. Dog trainers, owners, and researchers have as much difficulty agreeing on a method for testing canine intelligence, as they do for human intelligence. Certain breeds, like Border Collies and Golden Retrievers, are generally easier to train than others. It is worth noting that these descriptions are relative to other dogs, not relative to the world at large. The ability to learn and obey commands is not the only possible measurement of intelligence. Dogs are pack animals. "Pack" means that they understand social structure and obligations and are capable of learning how to behave around other members of the pack. Adult canines train their young by correcting them when they behave in an unacceptable manner (biting too hard, eating out of turn, and so on) and reward them for acceptable behavior (by playing with them, feeding them, cleaning them, and so on).

Dogs info

History of dogs
Dogs are part of the Canidae, a family including wolves, coyotes and foxes, thought to have evolved 60 million years ago. Domestic dogs are derived directly from wolves which entered villages in the Northern Hemisphere in search of food about 12,000 years ago. People exploited them for their own needs, such as to guard, herd and hunt. Particular characteristics were selected, which has resulted in the huge diversity of breeds today.

A breed of dog called the Saluki appears on the ancient tombs of Egypt from around 2100 BC and is thought to be the dog mentioned in the Bible. Its body has often been found mummified along with the Egyptian Pharaohs in Pyramids. The ancient Greeks and Romans developed a number of breeds including the greyhound, mastiff and bloodhound. The Romans made sacrifices to the dog-like god Procyon.

Dalmatians were trained to run along with horse and carriages in the mid 1800s, and became known as carriage dogs. Their job was to guard from other dogs which would chase the carriage and frighten the horses. Fire departments also used dalmatians to guard their carriages and the dalmatian became mascot of the fire service.

Life span
Ranges from 7-18 years, but the average lifespan is 12-14 years.

History of cats

All cats belong to a family called the felids and were thought to have evolved 12 million years ago. Domestic cats originated from African wild cats, which they are still closely related to. The first domestic cats were thought to have lived 8,000 years ago in Cyprus. Early settlers must have introduced the cats to the island, as there were no wild cats present.

Cats are depicted in Egyptian paintings and sculptures from 3,000 BC. They were used to control pests in grain stores and came to be worshipped by people. Anyone who killed a cat was severely punished and cats became so respected that when they died they were often mummified and entombed with their owners. From Egypt, cats were taken to Italy after the Romans invaded in 30 BC. It is thought that the Romans also introduced cats into Britain. Cats suffered a great deal in Medieval Britain. The people believed that they were associated with witches and the devil, and they were often tortured and burned. Cats in the Far East faced a happier life - they were seen as a sign of good luck and many of today's breeds originated from here. In Islam, cats are a symbol of purity.

Life span
Average lifespan is between 9 and 15 years, though they can sometimes live for over 20 years.
