What Color Is Your Cat's Parachute?
As everyone knows, a cat always lands on its feet. (Not to mention the buttered cat paradox: if toast always lands butter side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if butter the top of a cat?) But the physics involved in this maneuver are truly impressive.
In order to right itself as quickly as possible, a falling cat relies on a fairly sophisticated use of physics. It twists its front half around to face the ground, and then its rear half.
But it doesn't do this the usual way; instead, the cat conserves the angular momentum created by its fall, by sticking out its back feet to create drag (so that the front can swing around more easily), then sticking out its front feet (to bring the rear around).

IS Two Really Company?
Wouldn’t it be really great if we could just bring home a new pet and they would instantly love each other and get along? Sometimes that isn’t the case, especially with cats. The new cat introduction process doesn’t have to be as much of a nightmare as some believe. Below are a few tips in helping the newcomer feel more at home with your existing resident cat.
Fleas! Treat Your Pet to a Flea Vacation - on the cheap
Its really aweful when our little buddies pick up fleas (and it happens alllll the time). They scratch and itch and I cringe - fleas are really gross and they can carry some nasty little diseases with them (hello, Plague?). When our little babies get the bugs we spring into action, wash everything, and really just want to get the whole ordeal over. Recently, my own little girl ("smiling" in the picture) had a nasty flea attack and it seemed like nothing would work - the fleas have become immune to our spray stuff. Nooooooooooooo!
