Without its whiskers, does a cat lose all sense of balance?
cat wiskers
Cats use their whiskers as “feelers,” but not to maintain their balance.
Question #2
Got milk? Got cats? Can your cats have milk?
cat with milk
Most kitties enjoy the milk commercials as much as they do the product. But that doesn’t mean they need it for proper nourishment. In fact, many cats get diarrhea if they drink too much milk.
Question #3
If you put garlic on your pet’s food, will it help get rid of its worms?

Other than giving your pet the impression you’re a gourmet Italian chef, putting garlic on its food won’t do much.

Your doggy’s nose is warm and dry. Does that mean he’s sick?
sick dog
If you said no you’re correct. If your dog has a dry nose it means your dog has a dry nose. Maybe he just woke up or something. But a dry nose has nothing to do with a dog’s health.
Question #2
When animals scarf down grass like it’s fettuccini alfredo, does that mean they’re sick?
dog eating grass
While several theories about animal grass consumption exist, veterinarians have no proven answers. However, research indicates an amazing possibility: Animals may just like to eat grass.
Question #3
Can a canine tell what color T-shirt you’re wearing?
what color dog
It depends on which dog you’re asking. Dogs can distinguish colors, but not as well as humans. So don’t ask them to coordinate your outfits … different types of dogs tend to see different colors.
Question #4
Cats may have nine lives, but are they immune to rabies?

Just like that big dog in the movie “Cujo,” cats can carry rabies, too. But don’t expect them to go crazy and hold a family hostage in a remote location (re: Cujo). Nonetheless, cats should be vaccinated regularly according to local laws.
Qestion #5
Frequent baths make dogs smell nice. But can they also cause doggy dandruff?
dog with dandruff
They sure can. So let’s not cause a dry-skin blizzard. Keep the washings to a minimum. Also, consider using a conditioner next time. It helps keep dog coats healthy.
Question #6
Should pregnant women avoid cats due to possible disease infection (toxoplasmosis)?

Expectant mothers can interact with cats, it’s the litter box that’s a no no. Toxoplasmosis is spread through feces and litter. So as long as pregnant women avoid contact with the litter box and have someone else clean the litter box area, there should be no problems.
Question #7
Do dogs heal themselves by licking their wounds?
dog licking
You’re right! And wrong. A small amount of licking can help clean a wound, but excessive licking can actually slow down the healing process and further damage the animal’s wound. Not to mention leave a bad taste in its mouth.
