We used to have 3 cats that loved to chase eachother all over the house. Its like they had their own adventures and were up to no good it would always start when we were gone from the house for some reason and they went totally wild. We had a very large fish tank (bad idea) I know lol but one cat did manage to get to the very top of it and climb over but then it dropped the lid into the tank and the light fizzled and shorted out and the whole tank with it and it also managed to scare the cat to death not to mention us running around trying to save the dying fish.lol Back in the day we had an odd ball named Max who was very goofy and extremely clumsy and used to sometimes fall off the roof and so forth he was alright after he did that but he was really better off a house cat then an outdoors kitty and loved a good lap instead of being outside anyway so it worked for him.
We had 3 cats at the time and they all would play the game chase. One was even a homeless cat we called Midnight who we adopted and she was not into any of us at all and would ignore us or even hiss at us all but we still cared for her lol our other cat was my sister's cat named Lucky he was very adventurous and funny once my sister caught him on the front porch with something in his mouth she pride open his mouth and a hummingbird flew out(really) anyway they chased eachother back and forth through the house.
When we came into the room they were running in then they all would freeze for a minute as if they were not really sure what to do kind of like all thinking to themselves "oh no we've been caught!" but then off they would go running around the house again. They would run from one room to another as fast as possible like little kids playing tag it was very funny to watch especially since they all acted very different with us it was just a cat thing to do I suppose.lol Finally after much running they would stop tire themselves out and finally go to sleep in the original room that they started this all, I always wondered who won the game in the end.lol

Feeding them Human food!
Yes, it seems like a great idea to feed pets leftovers but in all actuality it can be dangerous for the pets as it can cause them problems them for instance many animals are actually allergic to certain foods humans eat I know its hard to imagine but its true. Some common foods that need to be avoided are foods such as:
1. Chocolate which is highly dangerous to pets esecially dogs Chocolate contains theobromine, that is a chemical that’s very toxic and harmful to dogs.
2. Onions have a toxin that causes haemolytic anaemia, in which the dog’s red blood cells burst while circulating through the body and causes severe damage in a very short amount of time so don't give it to them.
3. macadamia nuts are extremely dangerous to animals. It can cause swollen limbs a slight paralysis and mild tremors can occur.
4. Raw or cooked Beef, chicken and turkey have the same effect on cats as does human and salmonella is dangerous.
5. A cherry or even Avocados are also bad for cats.
In the end its always a good idea to research if you are going to feed an animal food that way they are safe from harm and you know what is good or bad for them to eat.

Wonderful Pets!
Pets come in many shapes and sizes but always give you unconditional love. I can remember fondly some of my older pets from the past when I was younger as well as ones I have had in recent years all were amazing animals. All of them have also left a lasting impression on me. I think they carry a little of the journey of life with us by helping us through our hardships and making us laugh at their many fun filled ways.They achieve their successes through funny quirks, amazing achievements and learning what to do and what they want in life much like a human being does when they try to make a success in life.
They have made my life all the more rewarding with their attention and overall affection and I have enjoyed watching them grow up. In a way I think that I have learned just as much from them as I have on my own but it really helps to have their friendship and love to keep me going on my way. Animals are very caring and nurturing and provide hours of attention and fun. I have shared many of my many triumphs and my ultimate failures with them all and they always seemed to know just what to do in each situation. My life is so much more amazing with them in it and I hope that they feel the same way.

Diet Matters!
Make sure that pets have the proper pet care that they need. This includes maintaining a proper healthy diet. Many cheaper brand of food do not include the proper nutrients for an animal to live off of long term and some can even be harmful over time. Some pet brands are better for pets internal systems and can also promote healthy growth for animals while others can help achieve a better coat or even help maintain a healthy active lifestyle. Its always best to ask a veterinarian or pet food supplier which pet food will help them in the long run.
Over time animals can have the same problems with health that people do they develop health issues especially when they become older and keeping track of what they eat will ensure that they live a long and healthy life. Big chain food stores such as Petsmart or Petco will sometimes offer special deals for animals especially if you buy in bulk this can be a good thing to save you money while other smaller chains will give out coupons that one can use on the more expensive food that way not only are you saving money over time pets have an advantage for a more healthy lifestyle and they will love you for it!

Weather Blues
Warm weather can effect an animals health as well as cold weather keep this in mind when allowing them to go outdoors. If its too cold or too hot it will effect many of them the same way we react to weather changes. I have heard many horror stories where a family pet was left outside without shelter or food and water. People who do this do not think ahead many not even realizing or caring if the pet is let outside in the heat or cold without proper care this is absolutely wrong.
It only costs a small amount of money to take care of an animal and they deserve the same freedom and care as any individual does. Make sure to keep track of when they run out of food or water especially in bad weather conditions they rely on your help and support. If its really cold outdoors make sure the pet is covered up if they have to stay outside for very long and if its really cold keep them indoors this will insure proper health and many years of good quality of life for them.
Never forget our pet is our responsibility please ensure that they are taken care of and loved and they will return that care with years of fun!

Cats
Pets are curious creatures with fun and sometimes mischievous ways and cats are especially fun to have in the household. They are active and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. Some are mainly indoor cats while others enjoy exploring. If you have an indoor cat make sure they have many indoor activities and toys and scratching posts to keep them active and happy. There are many toys to choose from that include mice, balls, and even string. Some also enjoy catnip while others don't but always make sure to keep them happy. Also try to keep household plants up high or they could chew them which can cause a lot of damage. They need a lot of room to run, play and explore. Make sure to choose a breed that seems to easily accumulate into your household and lifestyle.
A healthy cat needs both attention and space. A room of their own or a bed of their own that they can stay in helps. Also ensure to always have fresh pet food and water for them nearby and also fresh kitty litter if they are an indoor animal. Many cats tend to sleep all day long this is not so strange it is habit many times they will not even wake up until after everyone else has gone to bed.
Many cats like to use this time to explore or even hunt as they love late night exploration. Ensuring that they are never bored helps they will also behave better if they have something to do and are not getting into things. Many cats enjoy large, dark spaces and exploring alone or with other animals. Make sure that they are aware of any boundaries that you may have inside so that nothing gets destroyed or that they know what is accepted and what is not. They will make great household pets.
