		<description><![CDATA[Cat Moob - some interesting facts!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">As all you cat owners will no doubt have noticed, your cats have this dangly bit of skin on their bellies. I call this my cat&#8217;s &#8220;moob&#8221; &#8211; because he is a male cat, and his fat is in his boob area&#8230; male boob&#8230;.. Anyway!</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">I got Kitten (yes, very imagineative name I know, but it stuck) when he was very young, and as he has always been extremely fluffy. Because of this, I never noticed his moob &#8211; until I got him shaved. I remember when I went to pick him up from the vet, I was in shock.. &#8220;Oh my god, my cat is fat!&#8221; I said to the vet tech, laughing. And he wasn&#8217;t even 1 year old yet! I had always figured that he was big beacuse of his poofy fur.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Kitten, to put it nicely, is a beast. His feet are huge, he weighs around 13 lbs. Each time I take him to the vet, I ask if they think he&#8217;s overweight. And every time, the reassure me that he is not.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">They said that his kitty moob is fat, which is common with cats that have been fixed. Vets sometimes call this an &#8220;apron&#8221;. My cat actaully got lost for a few days, <img src='http://vickyc.me/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  and when we finally found him, his moob had nearly gone. We took him to the vet straight away, and she said that he&#8217;d converted his fat to energy and that it would grow back. And grow back it did! He likes to sit up on his back legs like a prarie dog, and now he looks like a penguin warming it&#8217;s egg!</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">According to all of the vets that Kitten has been to see, these fat pads are perfectly normal. Also, the fact that they may sway when he walks is also not uncommon.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">If they start to feel different, or if you feel a lump or anything else abnormal, take your kitty to thet vet &#8211; just to make sure everything is ok.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Also, for girl cats, if they have had babies, they will have looser skin. It seems that for both sexes of cat, being fixed is the main reason for this dangly skin.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Just remember not to call your cat fat, it might hurt it&#8217;s feelings! <img src='http://vickyc.me/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </div>
<div id="attachment_120" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-120" title="S4021232" src="http://vickyc.me/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/S4021232-300x225.jpg" alt="Kitten after his first hair cut" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Kitten after his first hair cut</p></div>
<p>As all you cat owners will no doubt have noticed, your cats have this dangly bit of skin on their bellies. I call this my cat&#8217;s &#8220;moob&#8221; &#8211; because he is a male cat, and his fat is in his boob area&#8230; male boob&#8230;.. Anyway&#8230;.!</p>
<p>I got Kitten (yes, very imaginative name I know, but it stuck) when he was very young, and as he has always been extremely fluffy. Because of this, I never noticed his moob &#8211; that is, until I got him shaved. I remember when I went to pick him up from the vet after his haircut, I was in shock.. &#8220;Oh my god, my cat is fat!&#8221; I said to the vet tech, laughing. And he wasn&#8217;t even 1 year old yet! I had always figured that he was big because of his poufy fur.</p>
<p>Kitten, to put it nicely, is a beast. His feet are huge, he weighs around 13 lbs. Each time I take him to the vet, I ask if they think he&#8217;s overweight. And every time, the reassure me that he is not.</p>
<p>They said that his kitty moob is fat, which is common with cats that have been fixed. Vets sometimes call this an &#8220;apron&#8221;. My cat actually got lost for a few days, <img src='http://vickyc.me/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  and when we finally found him, his moob had nearly gone. We took him to the vet straight away, and she said that he&#8217;d converted his fat to energy and that it would grow back. And grow back it did! He likes to sit up on his back legs like a prairie dog, and now he looks like a penguin warming it&#8217;s egg!</p>
<div id="attachment_121" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 209px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-121" title="Kitten in the Flowers" src="http://vickyc.me/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/kitten-1-199x300.jpg" alt="Kitten in the Flowers" width="199" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Kitten in the Flowers</p></div>
<p>According to all of the vets that Kitten has been to see, these fat pads are perfectly normal. Also, the fact that they may sway when he walks is also not uncommon. Please note that this extra fat is not necessarily because your cat is over weight. Even a skinny cat can have this extra pouch on its belly. So don&#8217;t put your cat on a crash diet &#8211; as this will probably encourage them to eat even more!</p>
<p>If your cat&#8217;s tummy fat starts to feel different, or if you feel a lump or something else abnormal, take your kitty to the vet &#8211; just to get them checked out to make sure everything is ok.</p>
<p>Also, for girl cats, if they have had babies, they will have looser skin &#8211; which again, is normal. It seems that for both sexes of cat, being fixed is the main reason for this dangly skin in the abdominal area.</p>
<p>Just remember not to call your cat fat, it might hurt its feelings! <img src='http://vickyc.me/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

		<description><![CDATA[This story from The Daily Mail goes to show that a dog – even a tiny Yorkie – really is a MAN’s best friend!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 15px">In Sicily, a woman who was cheating on her husband got caught out, all because of the family dog, a Yorkshire terrier. The woman had told her husband that she was taking the dog out for a walk and was going to meet some friends for coffee. She said that she would be gone for several hours. After she left, her husband, along with their two children, also decided to go out. They were spotted by the family dog, who started barking happily at them, from the lamp post he was tied to.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 15px">Bewildered at seeing his dog tied to a lamp post outside a pub – instead of inside a coffee shop, the man decided that his wife must be inside, and took a look in – expecting to see her with a group of her girlfriends.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 15px"><strong><em>WRONG</em></strong></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 15px">To his complete and utter surprise, he saw his wife in a passionate embrace with the owner of the pub! Santo Dio!!!</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 15px">Completely outraged, he rushed inside and had a heated argument with his wife, which consequently led to a brawl with her lover. Police officers were called to the scene, and the situation was explained to them by the parties involved. The pub owner was treated for cuts and bruises at a nearby hospital, and was discharged soon after.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 15px">The Sicilian police are not taking any action against the husband, but are inclined to believe that he has contacted his lawyers to start divorce proceedings. I’ll bet he wants to keep the dog as part of his settlement!</p>
