The Laws Of Cat Physics
Posted on April 6th, 2012Cats are very entertaining at times. We’d like to share some funny Cat Laws of Physics.
Law of Cat Inertia A cat at rest will tend to remain at rest, unless acted upon by some outside force – such as the opening of cat food, or a nearby scurrying mouse. Law of Cat Motion A cat will move in a straight line, unless there is a really good reason to change direction. Law of Cat Magnetism All blue blazers and black sweaters attract cat hair in direct proportion to the darkness of the fabric. Law of Cat Thermodynamics Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler body, except in the case of a cat, in which case all heat flows to the cat. Law of Cat Stretching A cat will stretch to a distance proportional to the length of the nap just taken. Law of Cat Sleeping All cats must sleep with people whenever possible, in a position as uncomfortable for the people involved, and as comfortable as possible for the cat. Law of Cat Elongation A cat can make her body long enough to reach just about any counter top that has anything remotely interesting on it. Law of Cat Obstruction A cat must lay on the floor in such a position to obstruct the maximum amount of human foot traffic. Law of Cat Acceleration A cat will accelerate at a constant rate, until he gets good and ready to stop. Law of Dinner Table Attendance Cats must attend all meals when anything good is served. Law of Rug Configuration No rug may remain in its naturally flat state for very long. Law of Obedience Resistance A cat’s resistance varies in proportion to a human’s desire for her to do something. First Law of Energy Conservation Cats know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed and will, therefore, use as little energy as possible. Second Law of Energy Conservation Cats also know that energy can only be stored by a lot of napping. Law of Refrigerator Observation If a cat watches a refrigerator long enough, someone will come along and take out something good to eat. Law of Electric Blanket Attraction Turn on an electric blanket and a cat will jump into bed at the speed of light. Law of Random Comfort Seeking A cat will always seek, and usually take over, the most comfortable spot in any given room. Law of Bag/Box Occupancy All bags and boxes in a given room must contain a cat within the earliest possible nanosecond. Law of Cat Embarrassment A cat’s irritation rises in direct proportion to her embarrassment times the amount of human laughter. Law of Milk Consumption A cat will drink his weight in milk, squared, just to show you he can. Law of Furniture Replacement A cat’s desire to scratch furniture is directly proportional to the cost of the furniture. Law of Cat Landing A cat will always land in the softest place possible; often the mid- section of an unsuspecting, reclining human. Law of Fluid Displacement A cat immersed in milk will displace her own volume, minus the amount of milk consumed. Law of Cat Disinterest A cat’s interest level will vary in inverse proportion to the amount of effort a human expends in trying to interest him. Law of Pill Rejection Any pill given to a cat has the potential energy to reach escape velocity. Law of Cat Composition A cat is composed of Matter + Anti-Matter + It Doesn’t Matter. -
The Unique Bond With Your Cat
Posted on March 15th, 2012Cats, their owners and the unique bond that is created.
A new study conducted by Kelton Research reveals that Americans share a powerful bond with their furry felines in a relationship only they understand. They found that 31% of survey takers admitted that they’d rather speak with their cat after a long tiresome day than with their best friend, children or parents. This is because 33% of the surveyors say they believe they communicate better with their cat than their significant other.
Cat owners are very secure in the bond they have with their cat. According to the survey, almost all cat owners (97%) said they can name at least one emotion or state of mind that they can easily decipher from the way their cat acts. Moods such as hunger, happiness and fear were all emotions cat owners could easily see in their cat.
The study also found that a lot of pet owners relate their cat’s inner voice to a celebrity. According to the survey, 18 percent said that if their cat could talk they would sound like the popular talk show host Ellen Degeneres. Thirteen percent said Fran Dresher while 12 percent said Sean Connery.
According to the survey, when it comes to communication between cats and their pet parents, 20% of parents believe their cat is trying to communicate with them through gestures or sounds. On average, cat owners believe their feline companions understand about 13 different words.
Cats are members of the family and people rely on them for companionship. When a bond is formed between pet parents and their cats, it extends beyond meows to an innate relationship that provides an even deeper understanding.
Do you feel you have a deep bond with your cat? Cats and other domesticated animals provide unconditional love for their family and it is amazing what kind of a bond you can develop with your pet.

Great Customer Testimonial
Posted on January 9th, 2012Here is a great customer testimonial we recently received. The customer was going to have to replace their basement carpet because of a terrible odor. Thankfully our product removed the odor for them, saving them thousands of dollars.
No THANK YOU! This stuff is amazing! It saved me a bundle by not having to replace the basement carpet because of the strong “doggie” odor. Now it’s like there never was a dog in my new home. Thanks so much for making this available. I’ve already recommended it to several friends.

Shelter and Dog Rescue Groups Across the U.S. will Receive Help from PEDIGREE Foundation Grants $750,000 Awarded for Creative Programs and Basic Operational Needs to Help Dogs in Need Find Loving Homes
Posted on December 20th, 2011Shelter and Dog Rescue Groups Across the U.S. will Receive Help from PEDIGREE Foundation Grants
$750,000 Awarded for Creative Programs and Basic Operational Needs to Help Dogs in Need Find Loving HomesNASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — PEDIGREE Foundation announced today the recipients of seven Innovation and 691 Operational Grants. Thanks to the generosity and donations from dog lovers across the country, the Foundation is proud to award a total of $750,000 to these selected local shelter and dog rescue groups. These one-time grants help fund creative programs and basic operating costs aimed at increasing dog adoptions and helping the more than four million homeless dogs find loving homes. In 2010 alone, PEDIGREE Foundation helped shelter and rescue groups give more than 80,000 dogs much needed comfort until they found their forever homes.
PEDIGREE Foundation Operational Grants were awarded to help alleviate the struggle shelters and rescues have to fund and provide the essential needs for dogs, including food, comfort, transportation and medical care. The 691 shelter and rescue groups will each receive $868 to help one dog at a time as they wait to find a loving home. Since 2008, PEDIGREE Foundation has distributed $4 million to thousands of organizations to help with their operational expenses.
For the second year, the Foundation is awarding $150,000 in Innovation Grants. These grants recognize shelters and rescues that are pioneering the industry with new ideas and efforts to help find dogs forever homes. Seven selected shelters will receive between $10,000 and $25,000 in grant money to fund their unique programs aimed at helping increase dog adoptions. Chosen out of almost 200 grant applications, these organizations truly demonstrate their ability to bring creative ideas to help improve adoption rates and the welfare of animals within their communities.
“We are grateful for the hard work shelters and rescues do every day,” said Debra Fair, PEDIGREE Foundation president. “From community outreach to behavior programs, we’re proud to award grants to aid in the adoption process that helps dogs find their forever homes.”
2011 Innovation Grant Winners
PEDIGREE Foundation Innovation Grant money, to be used within a one-year period, will assist homeless dogs with a variety of needs, including; behavior training, feeding, housing and support for medical issues:
Paw Prints Humane Society of Sedona, Inc. of Sedona, AZ, was awarded $10,000 to help fund the Mobile Adoption Vehicle to help increase adoptions, increase community education and awareness and serve as an emergency evacuation vehicle for at-risk animals in the Northern Arizona area.
Monmouth County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Eatontown, NJ, was awarded $25,000 to help fund a Dog Behavioral Department which uses positive reinforcement training and enrichment to increase the adoptability of shelter dogs. The program focuses especially on those who come into the shelter with behavioral issues or who develop behaviors as a result of an extended stay in the shelter system.
Humane Society of Rochester and Monroe County PCA of Fairport, NY, was awarded $10,000 to help fund the Behavior Modification and Enrichment Program to help dogs change behavior and ultimately find an adoptive family and forever home.

During each five week course, the youth are tasked with teaching their dogs basic skills and providing one-on-one interaction. The dogs learn new skills which make them more adoptable and the children learn important life, leadership and communication skills as they work to teach un-socialized dogs how to be great canine citizens through positive reinforcement.

Great Story About a Dog Saving It’s Family’s Life

Looking for an excellent Odor Remover for your barn or horse stall?
Posted on December 12th, 2011As we are in full swing of the winter months, a lot of horses and other large animals are kept in a stall or barn for extra warmth and protection from the elements. That means urine, stinky stalls, ammonia, and other odors that are a hazard to your horses health become much more prevalent.
Clear the Air’s Odor Remover is a great addition to keeping your animals stall free of odor. It is made from an all natural mineral and is non toxic, non hazardous, non-caustic, and biodegradable. It can safely be used around pets and children and it will not hurt your pet even if eaten. Ammonia is a health risk to your animals and the accumulation of ammonia in horse stalls and barns is more than an odor nuisance. Studies have concluded that low levels of ammonia stresses a horse’s upper respiratory airways placing them at risk of pneumonia, heaves, and other serious illnesses. Foals are especially vulnerable to these ailments. Clear the Air absorbs and neutralizes ammonia and odors while providing fresh and safe air for your horse in it’s stall.
Many of the odor and pollution control products on the market today act merely as masking agents. This means they add chemicals to the air to cover up odors and actually increase the level of indoor pollutants in the process. Earth Care, on the other hand, truly eliminates odors and cleans the air by adsorbing and neutralizing odors. Earth Care Products are especially beneficial to those that suffer from chemical sensitivity which can be aggravated by fragrances.
Earth Care is safe for Planet Earth. To dispose of Earth Care simply add to your soil, it is an excellent nitrogen soil amendment.
For Horse Stalls, we recommend our 9lb bucket, which can be purchased online at our website: www.cleartheair.com
