Let’s talk about felines today and why it’s important to understand their body language! Similar to other animals (human and non-human), cats often display mu...ltiple emotions at once: fear and curiosity, play and frustration, etc. In order to decipher your cat’s behavior, it’s important to look for context. Does your cat seem playful but also waiting to be fed? Is your cat excited to explore a cardboard box but keeping an eye on your busy toddler getting closer? By paying attention and understanding your individual cat’s body language, you can better understand what they need and advocate for those needs, whether it’s at home or part of an animal-assisted interaction. Check out this great article by Jacqueline Brister, DVM at https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx (Chart of cat body language by Dr. Sophia Yin)

Good article on dog aging. Shared from another group. To find the natural log of a number, use the calculator on your Iphone and turn it sideways. Then put in your dog's age, then press ln (you will see it among a number of choices), multiply that number by 16 and add 31. Thus my 11.75 year old Louie looks like this. 11.75 ln = 2.46 x 16 = 39.421 + 31 = 70.42. So my Louie is 70 and a half years old.
