Cat - Do We Enjoy Sickness?

Its starting to get cold outside. I have noticed recently that very few people in the last few years have done anything to prevent those little colds that you always come down with at the beginning of the chilly season. Why is that? I remember being a youngster... wanting to go outside and play in the snow even though i had the sniffles. Mom wouldn't let me. "Your going to get sick!" she would holler. So i wasn't ever sick!

Nowadays, no one is really concerned with PREVENTING sickness. We all believe that there is enough medicine out there to cure whatever it is we come down with. Well, that's mostly true. In fact, a good friend of mine came down with Winter Vomiting Disease last year. It sounds like a scary illness, and we all feared for him, until we read up on it and realized that it goes away in 24-36 hours. You just vomit alot and have diarrhea. Not so bad.

But why do we let things get that far every year? Granted there is usually a cure, but we continue to suffer through the times when we DO have a virus. Is it that we enjoy it? Ya right! I think it's more like we forget how much it sucks, because it was a year ago.

This year, lets all try and stay healthy through the cold season. Keep up on our vegetables and our rest. The problem today is, we all think that we have so much to do. RELAX! Running yourselves down until your are bed ridden is not exactly time efficient. Enjoy the winter and stay cold free!

Cat - How To Get Rid Of Cat Urine Odor

Cats are smart animals amongst other traits. However when your feline discovers the floors are good for their toileting it grows increasingly hard to eliminate the urine odor from your house as well as removing the stain. Constant revisiting to the area can damage your carpet or flooring and create a nasty unwanted smell in your home. Stopping cats from urinating on these spots will take a little training but discovering a way to get rid of the odour and stain is a lot harder than one can imagine.

Choosing the right product is another obstacle to overcome and as with a lot of cleaners they have a variety of uses. Basically, the stain is made up of three parts. The Urea is the sticky, tacky part which you find on top. The Urochrome is the pigment or color part and the Uric Acid and Salts is the third part. Most products will work on the first two parts which removes the stain and odor but the odor is not completely gone, the crystals are just dormant.
