The 10 Best Cat Cages |
]]>
We love our pets and want the absolute best for them. Most of us spend a lot of time with our pets - taking them to training classes, researching food choices, bringing them along on trips and trying to make sure they get plenty of exercise. But is your pet getting enough playtime?
Below are just a few reasons why we need to set aside at least fifteen minutes every single day to simply play with our pets.
Improved, Long-term Physical Health
Keeping our pets fit and healthy just makes good common and even fiscal sense. We all like our local veterinarian, but let’s face it, the less we see them the better, at least when it comes to office visits. It’s becoming more and more expensive to visit the vet these days. A simple thing like playing with your pets can help cut down on trips to your pet doctor.
One of the things humans, dogs, and cats share is the need to move. Sitting in one spot for hours on end isn’t good for the body. Playing for 10 to 15 minutes a day does wonders to improve everyone’s cardiovascular health, helping maintain a healthy weight, improved flexibility, and better muscle tone. Your dog needs twice daily walks (ideally, you should spend an hour a day walking dogs) but they’ll be healthy when they also get to play. If you’re unable to get down on the floor and wrestle with your dog or cat, there are plenty of toys on the market that allow you to do less of the work and still get them moving and exercising.
Improved Cognitive Health
Frustrated because your pet continually destroys your possessions? More often than not there’s more to this problem. Most pet owners are just resigned to the notion that it’s “just my pet’s personality”. Many discover the root of the issue stems from a lack of attention and play.
Routine play sessions encourage your pets to use all of their cognitive functions, and the more your pet uses their brain, the less destructive and anxious they’ll feel. For tightly wound dogs, in addition to regular play sessions and play groups, consider feeding them using treat and food dispenser toys that have been designed to act as puzzles and brain twisters. Exercise their mind and the body will follow!
You will be amazed by how much closer you feel to your pet after you make play a regular part of your life. Not only will you find that both of you look forward to spending time goofing off, but you're mental and physical health will actually improve at the same rate as your pet's.
Don’t forget, just like you want to get the maximum value for your workout time, it’s good to vary the types of exercises you and your pet engage in as well. Excellent choices include:
Taking your pet to the parks is another great way to get them some different types of exercise while letting them interact with others. This type of play is healthy and fun for you and your pet. Pet Parks stimulate them mentally as well as physically so there is a double benefit and the perfect way to work out some of that extra anxiety that comes with being cooped up all day long.
“Pets are people too” - I know, maybe a little overboard, but you know we all treat our pets like people. They have feelings, fears, and anxieties that need to be worked out from time to time. Regular play sessions are invaluable when working towards that end. We’re all busy, but setting aside some time for pet play every day will pay dividends in some obvious and some not so obvious ways. Even if it’s only a couple 10-15 minute sessions a day, you and your pet will be better for the quality time you spend together.

]]>More and more our pets have become part of the family. There can be great anxiety involved with leaving them behind while we go on an extended vacation. It’s not an exaggeration to say leaving our pets out of the vacation is almost like leaving one of the kids behind. Pets are part of the atmosphere at home, so when you take home on the road, it just makes sense to bring the “whole” family along.
There are a few practical reasons for including our pets in the family vacation.
So now we have established the “Why”, in the next section we will explore the “How”.
Taking your pet along on vacation adds a bit more work and planning to the process but the rewards are well worth it in the end. This can be just as exciting for them as it is for you. Pets, and cats in particular, are instinctively curious. There is nothing they would love more than to get out, into different surroundings, with interesting sites and stimulating new smells.
It goes without saying, when it comes to vacationing with our furry family members, the amount of planning you do has a direct relation to how much fun you and your pets will have. Now, I’m not saying you need to plan your vacation around your pets needs, but there are a few simple things you can do to make it more enjoyable for everyone!
Just a few things you can do to make your pet friendly vacation a success. As stated above, there are multiple resources and sites on the internet dedicated to making the trip with your pet enjoyable, and more importantly, fun for all involved.
We all love our pets, but there’s always that question when it comes time to go away, “what are we going to do with them”? Some people actually don’t go on vacation just for that reason. They don’t want to board them and feel guilty leaving them with strangers. Thankfully, there are alternatives. You can have your cake and eat it too, go on vacation and take your pets too. With some minimal preparation, you’ll find it simple and rewarding. So, what are you waiting for? Make it happen!
]]>We all tend to hibernate in the winter months. With the Artic Vortex making the outdoors often unbearable, it’s pretty easy to turn to couch potato mode and put exercising on the back burning… you know, until the weather warms up. I admit that I am one of those people. Oscar and I are pretty comfortable cuddling together under the blankets for warmth, listening to the wind howl outside. But I’ve noticed that we’ve added a little junk to both of our trunks. So we’ve got to find ways to get moving without getting frostbite. After much consideration and a bit of research, I’ve found a few ways that we can get off our butts without freezing them off. Here are a few we’re going to implement into our routine… and you can too!
]]>A kitten’s life is all about play, and play is all about prey. Soon after they open their eyes and hoist themselves up on their teeny paws, kittens start to play. But if you look closely, you’ll notice that you have an itty-bitty hunter in your house.
Every race down the hallway, every pounce from behind a door, every swat and nip is a display of a kitten’s hunting skills, instincts that are just as strong in today’s housecat as they were in her ancestors thousands of years ago. To a kitten, everything, and we mean everything, in the house is potential prey, including you.
Learning to play nice
A kitten’s first playmates are his mother and littermates, and from them he learns how to inhibit his bite. A kitten who is separated from his family too early may not have learned that lesson well enough and won’t know when to stop. Acceptable behavior can quickly escalate.
In addition, if people use their hands and/or feet instead of toys to play with a young kitten, the kitten may learn that rough play is okay. In most cases, it’s not too difficult to teach your kitten or young adult cat that rough play isn’t acceptable.
If playing with your kitten evolves from peek-a-boo to professional wrestling in a matter of seconds, follow these tips to keep playtime interesting and reduce the number of trips to the first-aid kit.
Discouraging “bad” behavior
Playing is not bad behavior, but you do have to set the rules for your kitten: no biting. Everyone in the household has to be on the same page, too; your kitten can’t be expected to learn that it’s okay to play rough with dad but not with the baby.
Equip yourself with the right training tools: toys, toys, toys, and a water pistol.
A gnawing problem
As we said, you shouldn’t let your kitten play with your body parts. But if you’re petting her and she starts gnawing on you, immediately say “no” and carefully take your hands away. Give her a toy to play with instead, but be sure she’s not gnawing on you when you give her a toy or she’ll think she’s being rewarded for gnawing. Don’t try to pet her again until she’s tuckered out and no longer tempted to “kill” your hand.
You can also make your hands unattractive to your kitten by putting a bad-tasting, but harmless, substance on them, like Bitter Apple or Tabasco sauce. A kitten will catch on quickly.
Gimmie that!
Kittens always seem to want to play with whatever you’re using—knitting needles, pencil, telephone antenna. If yours starts “attacking” your utensils, sharply say “no” to disrupt her behavior. Then give her one of her own toys. Be sure she’s not attacking when you give her a toy or she’ll think she’s being rewarded for biting.
On the hunt
Kittens also like to “hunt” you while you’re walking around. They’ll jump out from behind a door or under a chair and pounce on your ankles. If she doesn’t pounce, praise her with “Good kitty.” If she does pounce, use your sharp “uh-uh” to distract her and interrupt her behavior and offer her an acceptable toy. Be sure she’s not pouncing on you when you provide the toy or she’ll think she’s being rewarded the bad behavior.
Pay no attention
Withdraw attention when your kitten doesn’t get the message. If the distraction and redirection techniques don’t work, the most drastic thing you can do to discourage your cat from rough play is to withdraw all attention.
The best way to withdraw your attention is to walk to another room and close the door long enough for her to calm down. If you pick her up to put her in another room, then you’re rewarding her by touching her, so you should always be the one to leave the room.
Remember, your kitten wants to play with you, not just toys, so be sure to set aside time for regular, serious, and safe play sessions.

]]>Pet Fit For Life, a subsidiary of Equipt4 LLC, is introducing a new line of toys, in particular, cat wands. The market for these types of toys is enormous. Pet Fit For Life is looking to take advantage of gaps in the quality and dependability of cat teasers with this new line.
Cat wands, in one form or another, have been around for many years. After all they aren’t exactly what you call rocket science, stick, string, feather, that’s pretty much it. Or is it? The people at Pet Fit For Life didn’t think so. Add a bell to summon the cat to play. Add a comfortable grip to enhance the experience for the cat owner. For the longest time the wands themselves were one piece and less than flexible. Enter the 2-piece wand with a connector that when assembled, would be a full 33” long. Pet Fit For Life has even taken it one step further and added a retractable wand to make it easier to store when not in use. According to the people at Pet Fit For Life this is just the beginning. There are many new and exciting projects in the works.
As the name implies, Pet Fit For Life is dedicated to getting cats moving in order to lengthen and improve their quality of life. They say if you’re going to do it, you might as well have fun while you’re at it. These toys bring out the hunter in your cat and drive them to jump and do all kinds of funny flips. This is especially beneficial for all the indoor cats out there. These toys can also reduce some of the aggressive tendencies displayed by cats that are cooped up in the house for long periods of time. So interactive cat toys have many benefits and Pet Fit For Life has created a line that is clearly head and shoulders above the rest.

]]>Equipt4 LLC, a company based in Potomac, Maryland, has just launched Pet Fit For Life, a brand of products intended to aide in keeping your pets healthy and fit. The goal is to provide a source of pet products sold through the internet that will help your pet maintain a high quality of life.

Equipt4 LLC has put a team in place to test the products and ensure they stand up to the abuse that seems to always accompany pet play and care.

Quality products that don’t bust the budget, that is their goal and they’re focused on it like a laser.
