We certainly do love dogs around here, hence the site being all about dogs and resources for dog lovers. However, back in the day we did own a cat but it’s really been a very long time since then. Anyways, we stumbled upon this site that caters to funny videos and we couldn’t help but watch and laugh-out-loud at some of the funny cat videos. The dog videos were of course funny too. We are going to be doing another post on that shortly.

Now, of course, after watching all these videos, we are thinking about adopting a cat. But, let’s first see if I wake up tomorrow thinking that is as good of an idea as I do right now. So, before making a real decision we decided to compile a blog post highlight all the great things about cats from funny videos, to cat jokes, names and more! Enjoy!

Funny Cat Jokes

Q: How do you get milk from a cat?

Normal dog training requires patience that is greater nowhere else but childrearing. Training rescued dogs takes even more.

Though sterilizing dogs – spaying (removing female organs) and neutering (removing male organs) – has been common practice for decades, birth rates continue to outpace ownership. Add to that a percentage who are lost or wander away and the problem grows larger.

The inevitable result is a large number of dogs who often end in facilities where they’re either adopted or terminated.

Whether through an intention to breed or other motive, many individuals leave their companions intact (spay or neuter procedure). Left with a full complement of nature’s hormones, these dogs can react differently than their surgically altered counterparts.

Male dogs with the normal amounts of testosterone tend to seek alpha (leader) status, and when exposed to a female in heat will often ignore commands. Licking behavior increases, the male will gently head butt a female in the neck, and eventually try to mount.

Separated from the female, they’ll exhibit rapid breathing and pacing, often going without eating for two days or more. They’ll often even refuse water after hours of not drinking.

Nothing is more essential for good dog training than good dog health. And the foundation of good health is a good diet.

Depending on your budget you may or may not be able to feed your dog a larger proportion of fresh meat, but at least be prepared to spend enough for a good dry food. Here are a few things to look for…

All dog foods are labeled with the ingredients in order by proportion. That is, the material that forms the largest percentage is listed first, followed by the second and then others.

Descendants from wolf packs, dogs seek a natural hierarchy in which some are dominant (alphas) and others tend to follow. Struggles start in young pups to sort out who is which early on, in some cases three weeks after birth.

Apart from human society, wild dogs will fight – sometimes to the death – to maintain or achieve the alpha status. Losers are occasionally expelled from the pack entirely.

But in any human-dog pair the human has to take the leader role. The alternative is property destruction, human frustration and usually a maladjusted dog. Naturally, that’s sometimes easier said than done.

There is a large variety of dog breeds to choose from when getting a new family dog. Some important factors to consider before picking a breed are your lifestyle, your interests, and your present living environment. Are any big changes coming up such as a baby or a big move? You should also consider the difference between raising a dog from puppy hood and getting a dog as an adult.

There are things to consider when picking either a male or female dog that will depend upon your preferences. Also do you want a family pet or a show dog? The size of dog is also another big consideration – small dogs do not necessary require a big space but they do need more exercise than bigger breeds.
