Precautionary Tips for Cat Toys

Cats love spending time playing with their favorite toys. However, once playtime is over, there is a need to put away the toys and secure them in a place which is inaccessible to your cat. Here are some important reasons for putting your cat's toys away after playtime:

• Toys should only be available to your cat during playtime for it is a way to spend quality time bonding with your pet.
• Before putting away the toy, check it for loose parts or pieces of string that might get swallowed by your cat. You can also check whether it's time to throw away the toy and get a new one for your cat.
• When letting your cat play with catnip toys, be careful about petting or rubbing your cat.

 Many cats love catnip and can become overexcited when they catch a whiff of catnip scent on your hands. Sometimes cats may bite when they become overexcited.

A Pet Pig’s Housing Requirements

The housing requirement of your pet pig will depend on how many you have. However, the general rule of thumb is 36 square metres per pig. If you can provide even more space, that’s even better. Pigs are not to be underestimated in terms of physical strength. That said; you will need to ensure that the fencing you use is reinforced so that they are unable to escape.

Their housing should be draft-free; temperature should be relatively constant; and they should not be exposed to sunlight for a prolonged period of time. Thermoregulation is one weakness of pigs and they will need assistance in the warmer and cooler months. In the summer, provide your pigs with a container filled with cool and clean water. Ensure that they have somewhere to seek shelter as well. On the other hand, they will need straw as bedding material in the winter. More on this from Cedar Park Animal Hospital, click here.

It would benefit you greatly as a pet owner to become familiar with the behaviours and characteristics of your goat in order to learn more about it and moreover, pinpoint if something is wrong. Check with your vet if there's issue with behaviour of your pet.

Overall, a healthy goat is lively, curious and playful. If it is happy and content, it is generally quiet. Nonetheless, vocalizing loudly is not uncommon if it is uncomfortable, hungry, thirsty, injured, ill, or in season.

Goats are naturally destructive animals. They like to chew at woodwork and rub themselves against or climb on fences. Sometimes this leads to the breakage or collapse of the fence. That said; any structures used for or around goats should as strong as possible.
