Motivation Breeds Motivation and why I now Like Working Out

2008-06-19 08:25:16

This past week more people than ever have been emailing me privately or leaving comments that they are being motivated by reading my blogs. I am thrilled to know that is true.Why?Because it’s all about me. (joking of course)But seriously, do you know how motivating it is to know that I have motivated someone else? And how can I quit now if you are counting on me not to? If I realize that my motivation is someone’s inspiration, then I can’t give up or quit. I have to keep plugging along. And that makes me more determined than ever.I also have discovered one reason to enjoy working out. I used to absolutely hate it, but here is one reason why I like it.I go there with a 40 minute job to do. Nobody distracts me. I either succeed or I fail. When it is over, it is over. It’s all up to me and I’m the only one who can control it.It’s so different that the rest of my life where nothing is ever done. WIth parenting the job never has an ending. I am distracted constantly.

Shorthaired Cats (Cat Breeds)

2008-01-25 23:00:00

In both wild and domestic cats, short hair is much more common than long. The main reason for this is that the genes for short hair are dominant over the ones for long hair. Also, in the wild, whether as a leopard or a feral inner-city tom, long hair can tangle on things when stalking and ambushing, give enemies something to grab hold of, and without an attentive owner to do the grooming, become matted and likely to cause skin diseases. These are important disadvantages that natural evolution came to terms with.Shorthaired coats, on the other hand, don’t get in the way and are simple to care for – wounds can be easily tended and parasites don’t find it such a good environment in which to make a home. Twice weekly grooming is sufficient and many shorthaired cats can very adequately look after their coats themselves.Shorthaired cats fall into three main categories: the British Shorthair, the American Shorthair, and Foreign or Oriental Shorthair.The British Shorthair is a sturdy cat with a strong, muscular body on short legs, and which sports a short, dense coat. It has a broad, rounded head, with a shirt, straight nose, and large, round eyes. European Shorthair breeds are identical.American Shorthairs developed from ancestors of the British and European Shorthairs, which were taken to the US by the early settlers. It is a different strain of cat, larger and leaner than the British type, and with slightly longer legs, a more oblong head with a square muzzle, a medium-length nose, and large, round eyes.Foreign or Oriental Shorthairs have a conformation quite different to the rounded, sturdy British and American Shorthairs. This type of cat has a wedge-shaped head with slanting eyes and large, pointed ears, a lithe, slim body with long legs, and a very fine, short coat. This category embraces the most well-known example, the Siamese, as well as the Korat and the Havana. In some countries, including the US, these cats are known simply as Oriental Shorthairs, or as O

Coat Types (Cat Breeds)

2007-12-24 12:25:00

A cat's fur is its crowning glory and is a source of insulation. In the wild, a cat's coat color serves as camouflage and its related to its natural habitat. Chance color mutations and selective breeding have produced the variety of coats seen in today's pedigree cats. Types of coat, like color, also developed to suit habitat the more rugged the climate, the thicker the coat.PattersThe domestic cat (like the wild cat) is basically tabby in marking, but selective breeding has produced a wide array of "self" or solid color as well as new patters - from black, lilac, and blue, to tortoiseshell, smoke, or cameo, and many more. There are just some of the possibilities.Types of TippingTipping may be very light or extend down the hair almost to the root. A ticked coat has hairs that are banded.Coat VarietiesThe three types of hair in a cat's coat are the topcoat or guard hairs, the bristly awn hairs and the soft, curly down hairs (pink).British Blue Shorthair AngoraRussian BlueLilac-point SiameseBritish Tortoiseshell Smoke ShorthairAbyssinian (Usual)Foreign Lilac ShorthairAbyssinian (Sorrel)TonkineseBritish Black-tipped ShorthairBritish Red Tabby ShorthairKoratBritish Black ShorthairBritish Blue-Cream ShorthairExotic Colorpoint ShorthairBritish Tortoiseshell ShorthairBritish Silver Spotted ShorthairBlack Smoke LonghairMaine CoonCornish RexBlue LonghairBritish Black-and-white Bicolour ShorthairBritish Tortoiseshell-and-White ShorthairBlue-Cream Longhair

Longhaired Cats (Cat Breeds)

2007-12-21 10:50:00

Most wild cats are equipped with fur of short or medium length (Pallas's cat or Manual is the longest haired among the wild felines), and all domestic cats in Europe were originally shorthaired. Longhaired cats may have developed in cold countries such as Russia where there was need for a long coat, but it seems likely that they probably arose from spontaneous mutations which were then perpetuated through interbreeding.By the late sixteenth century, they had arrived in Europe, according to some accounts brought back by the Italian traveller Pietro della Valle, from Asia Minor. Most of today's longhaired pedigree cats, however, are descended from cats brought to Britain from Turkey and Persia in the late nineteenth century.Most longhaired cats are of the exotic-looking Longhair type popularly known as Persian. In the US these cats are formally classified as Persian, with the colours listed as varieties. However, in Britain, they are called Longhairs and each colour is classified as a separate breed.All Longhairs of Persian type have a cobby (sturdy and rounded) body with a round face and head, short, thick legs, a short nose, and large round eyes. They also posses an exceptionally full coat. This is known as a double coat because it consists of two types of hair - long, soft, woolly undercoat hairs and slightly longer, coarser guard hairs, which can be as much as five inches (twelve centimeters) long in some show specimens. There are several longhaired cats that aren't of the Persian type. These cats have various origins, but most come from cold climates where a long coat is useful. On the whole, their coats aren't woolly or as full as those of Longhairs, which makes them easier to groom. They differ from Longhairs in other ways too: they are slimmer, longer in the body and leg, and have narrower faces. Examples of these are the Balinese, Angora, Norwegian Forest Cat, and Maine Coon.Although the coat of a longhaired cat is its pride and joy is often extra long ar

Eye Types (Cat Breeds)

2007-12-17 12:28:00

The colour of a cat's eyes is controlled genetically. This colour is produced by the iris, which has pigment calls that carry particles of black , brown, or yellowish colouring matter. Where no pigment exists, as in albino cats, the iris is red-pink because all the colour comes from the blood vessels. Blue eyes are not due to the presence of blue pigment but to the reflected light being "scattered" from a faintly black-pigmented layer of the iris. Green eyes similarly possess no green pigment, but achieve their stunning appearance by scattering reflected blue light, which then passes through a layer of yellowish pigment. The wide range of eye colours found in the cat depends on the amount of pigment and the degree of light-scattering. Some of the many possible variations are illustrated bellow.Eye ShapesThe three basic shapes of a cat's eye, as shown here, are round (Longhair type), almond-shaped, and slanted. However, there are other variations and some cats have a combination.

CAT - BREEDS

2007-12-17 10:08:00

The blue-blooded, pedigree cat is an aristocrat, but one with a family tree that goes back little more than a century, and which has its roots in much humbler soil. Over a hundred different breeds and varieties of Felis catus are officially recognized world-wide, and they can be divided into five principal categories - Longhairs or Persians, other longhaired cats, British Shorthairs, American Shorthairs, and Foregin or Oriental Shorthairs. Although some are "natural" breeds that were originally indigenous to a particular country, the large majority are the result of carefully designed breeding programmes that began with the selection of the best examples of run-of-the-mill, mongrel cats.Some breeds are descended from more chance, genetic mutations that suddenly appeared among otherwise "orthodox" litters and would, by the evolutionary rules of natural selection, have perished because of the disadvantages bestowed by the mutation, had not man for purely aesthetic reasons, nurtured the off-beat line. That it should have taken no more than one hundred years to develop the spectrum of feline aristocracy is due to the relatively short gestation period, rapid maturing and often generous litter sizes of the cat. Today, national associating in each country (the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy in Great Britain) lay down the standards that pedigree cats are judged by, and also register kittens.Contents:* Coat Types * Eye Types * Longhaired Cats * Shorthaired Cats

Hunting Dog Breeds: Not as Fierce as They Seem

2007-11-18 21:13:00

Hunting dogs, as their name suggests, are simply those dogs that have been bred – and trained – to assist human hunters in their activities. Originally, these dogs were responsible, at least partially, for bringing home the meat for the family’s dinner and, without them, the job of hunting was much more difficult. The dogs assist the human hunter to scent and track, retrieve, flush, point or even chase down game. The skills developed will be specific to each breed, depending on the type of game that the dog has been trained to hunt, and the hunting style used with that particular type of game. Hunting dogs love to be outdoors and work with their owners. They usually become noticeably excited and active when they notice that preparations for the hunt are getting under way.Since each breed of hunting dog has unique skills and attributes, we shall look at each general type of hunting dog separately. It is important to remember that hunting dogs are not aggressive by nature and are a
