Recent Pet News, Tips & Info...The Aryan MolossusOnce a Warrior, Today a Loyal Companion and a Family-Protector Should you ever decide that you need a big dog, with an imposing posture, which can look threatening and majestic at the same time, the Aryan Molossus is definitely one breed that you must take into consideration. The Armant The Egyptian Dog with a Lot of Love to Give To some of you, the Armant is better known as the “Egyptian Sheepdog” and, just as the name suggests it, it was bred to be a herding dog. However, in ancient times, it was used mostly as a guard dog. This breed is originally from Egypt and named after the town of Armant. Its loyalty and agility are the two main characteristics which make this dog special. The Atlas Terrier The Small Dog With a Massive Dose of Energy At a glimpse, the Atlas Terrier can be easily mistaken with the Jack Russell Terrier. However, there are some differences that may help you tell these two cousins apart. Before deciding to buy or adopt a dog of this breed, there are some things that you have to take into consideration. Unfortunately, this is quite a rare breed of dogs in our days. Anglos-Francaises de Petite Venerie It Is Impossible Not to Love Them Anglos-Francaises de Petite Venerie are the smallest dogs in the Anglos-Francais category. However, the name „Petite”, meaning „small”, is not at all referring to the size of the dogs, but to the game they are after. Even if they've been around since the 16th century, today, these dogs are not easy to find. So if you have decided to adopt one, you can be sure that you will have a unique pet. |

Pet Tips
Cats Are Special AnimalsCats are definitely not for everybody. Before deciding to become a cat owner, one must ask oneself if one is ready to take this responsibility. There are several reasons for which not everybody is able to become a cat owner: The first reason has to do with someone being willing to be “owned” by his cat.An old saying states that humans do not own cats but that it is rather the other way around. This could not be truer. Unlike other animals, the cat does not submit to humans and will change their target of affection from one family member to another, depending on who provides it with the most benefits. Also, the cat will not eat what you want it to eat, will not seat where you want it to seat and certainly, will not behave as you would like it to behave. The second reason has to do with one’s willingness to accept its complex nature. Cats are intelligent, self-sufficient animals. This is what cat lovers admire at these superb creatures. However, their complex nature is not fully understood by everybody: they accept humans around them and enjoy being cuddled and taken care of, but will never fully belong to their owners as dogs do. These animals will maintain a certain degree of independence their entire life, even if they will never leave home. You will never know what your cat will do next, since in its bright, ever alert eyes, nothing can ever be read. And most importantly, you will never be able to truly train it. The cat does what it wants to do, when it wants to do it, and you will never be able to fully control it. The third and last reason has to do with its temperament Unlike dogs, they will never accept an unpleasant treatment, not even when it comes from their owners. They will bite, scratch and fight back whenever they feel “offended” by your actions. Depending on the breed, a cat may be tolerant (up to a certain extent!) or very touchy. Children, who may tease them while playing, are the most often “victims” of a cat’s powerful personality. Thus, children should be taught how to treat the cat in order to avoid being scratched. And no, cats cannot be taught how to treat children. Because of these unique characteristics, cats are not loved by everybody. Those who want an obeying pet will always chose a dog. Yet, there are so many people who love their feline friends more than anything! This is because cats, with their powerful personalities, with their playful nature and their beautiful, elegant looks may brighten your mood in a second and are certainly never boring to have around. The cat is a special and unique kind of pet. Respect it, treat it kindly and you will have a wonderful companion for many years to come. Cats will never see us as masters, but they are ready to become our best friends. Share this article on Cats Are Special Animals with friends.
