It’s very normal and understandable to see hissing with new cats.Hissing just means “I’m uncomfortable.” And that’s ok! To help things progress in a positive way, stay calm and wait until you catch the cats not hissing and reward them 🥰🎉🧡#catbehavior #catintroductions #catexpert #hissingLove animals?

Six-legged dog found abandoned in car park has extra limbs removed | Lifestyle [Video]

A six-legged dog who was found abandoned in a car park has undergone surgery to remove her extra limbs. Ariel, a spaniel puppy, was found in Pembroke town centre in September last year and after a fundraising appeal was able to have surgery. The dog was taken in by the Greenacres Rescue charity, near Haverfordwest, and has been cared for by a foster family. She was named after Disneys Little Mermaid character because her partially fused extra back legs resembled a mermaids tail. Ariel, who was born with multiple birth defects, was operated on at Langford Vets Small Animal Referral Hospital in Somerset.

Cat Language Decoded! [Video]

✨ Cat language decoded! 🕵️🐾 Ever wonder why your cat feels the need to use the litter box right after you clean it? Best Friends’ cat expert Samantha Bell spills the secrets: Either it wasn’t clean enough for their liking, or they’re attempting to claim it as their territory. And what can you do now that you’re aware of your cat’s feelings? 1. Scoop more often to prevent future litter box issues, and 2. Add extra litter boxes and scent-soakers like blankets and scratchers around the house so they feel more confident! 😺🧡 #CatExpert #DecodingCatLanguage #CatTips #LitterBoxTips Love animals?
