Cat Nips
According to the Cat Lady, Beth Adelman, there are certain things you should and should not do when your cat gets excited and nippy. When your cat or kitty nips at you, do nothing, but say “ow” and “no biting”. Cats will think you are playing with them if you swat at them for biting. It is best to approach your kitty when he or she is calm and have a preferred toy in your hand that your cat can nip at. When you have finished playing with a string or other toy, slow down the play gradually, so your pet knows that playtime is over. This is the time to give your cat a treat as a reward for not biting. Remember that cats and kittys just love to use their pent up energy in play…it is up to you to be sure it stays nip-free!

Today one of my students shared a picture of the newest acquisition to his family…”Bruno” , a rescue dog. He had a sample picture of himself, his brother and “Bruno” which they will use as a Christmas card. He could not wait to show his friends and teacher. It is not uncommon for people to use their pets in their holiday greeting cards. As many as 58% of pet owners do this, according to the American Animal Hospital Association. My student is language learning disabled, but he had no difficulty when it came to talking about his new pet. His eyes sparkled and the words just poured out as he described how he got his dog. Just one more instance of how pets can give back to their owners!
Here is our latest pet narrator and star, Sebastian, who recently took a Tails Untold New York City Adventure. He wrote all about his journey in a unique Tails Untold Adventure Book to present as a gift to his pet parents. He decided to walk vs. ride his “cycle” throughout the New York City Streets. He said he had a great time but was very happy to be back home.
Central Park is one of our favorite places and plays an important role in Tails Untold’s adventure story. This weekend’s storm was devastating to the park. An estimated 1,000 trees have been lost because of the early snowfall. Because the trees still had most of their leaves, the snow accumulation was very heavy and damaging. If you’re interested in making a donation, Central Park Conservancy has set up a special Halloween Storm fund.
