Purrfect Companions: The ESMA Cat Shelter - Scoop Empire (SCOOP EMPIRE)

We spoke with ESMA cofounder Mona Khalil about the important work done by the ESMA cat shelter and why your next pet should be adopted.

Also, however, Mona told me people “can support us by donating or sponsoring an animal, even from afar”. With the ever-increasing pressures of rent, spiralling costs of medicines and cat food, and the need to pay their staff, donations have become as important as ever. Another important way you can support ESMA and the animals it helps, according to Mona, is by making sure your next pet is adopted and to persuade your friends and family, likewise, to adopt not shop. From lively kittens to delicate elderly cats happily sleeping away the day, and from cats missing a leg or those that have lost their sight, the cats come in all shapes and sizes, but have all found refuge from their former lives. Face-down in a pile of food, lounging in the sun, or playing with each other, the cats are literally everywhere, enjoying their new lives. This is the Egyptian Society for Mercy to Animals, more commonly known as ESMA, Egypt’s largest animal shelter that has become a refuge for approximately 930 cats and over a thousand dogs. Not willing to be left out, another cat abruptly jumps onto my lap and immediately lays down, refusing to let me leave.

Every year on August 8, there is a celebration known as International Cat Day to increase public awareness of the furry tiny animals.

Add lemon juice to refine the syrup and remove any foam that may have come on the surface. Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi is an Indian festival to celebrate the bond and love between a brother and a sister. The friendship is forged even further when you truly comprehend and listen to each other. Gulab Jamun is made with khoya, flour, and nuts and it is dipped in sugar syrup infused with saffron. Raksha Bandhan is a huge festival in India. Food is a major part of every celebration in India, therefore the sweets prepared on this occasion must be exceptional too. Avoid becoming one of those buddies who say one thing to their friends and then act the exact opposite. You are a great blessing to our family and me. As a small sister, I admire you every day and desire to someday become like you. The bond between siblings is unmatched, and when it comes to sisters, the relationship is even more unique and precious. This day is dedicated to honour the special relationship that sisters have. On August 8, 2022, a day designated as International Cat Day, people will learn more about cats’ needs and the need of adopting them to provide them with a happy and safe existence.

Cats have a subtle repertoire of facial expressions, vocal sounds, and body postures that express its emotional state and intentions.

- The sense of touch is acute in cats. This is possible because the vertebrae of its spinal column are held together by muscles rather than by ligaments, as in humans.

10 iconic on-screen cats to celebrate this International Cat Day (INQUIRER.net)

August 8 is International Cat Day, and what better way to celebrate this day than to binge watch some movies with cats?

Though, this doesn’t stop all of them from going on a crazy ride and entering the Mother of All Messes. The pets run away from the ranch and begin a long and arduous journey back to their home. This only adds to the excitement of the plot as Alice tries to decode his many riddles and clues. This 1951 film is based on Lewis Caroll’s 1865 novel of the same name and was later followed by early to mid-2010s Disney remakes starring Mia Wasikowska in the titular role. Another orange feline, this cat holds the secrets of the galaxy, quite literally. It does some slight acrobatics jumping on furniture and people, it’s (briefly) abandoned in the rain, serves as a makeshift alarm clock, and is even smushed against Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard as they deliver the groundbreaking film ending kiss. In the kingdom of Far Far Away, Fiona’s parents are shocked to see two ogres in the place of their beloved beautiful daughter and her prince charming. Part creepy, part cute, the Cheshire Cat seems to be one of the all-knowing characters in Alice in Wonderland, but his mischievous nature prevents him from giving straight-to-the-point advice. Angus is strong enough to pull away from his leash and chase a standard-sized poodle, but still gets put in the freezer by Georgia’s younger sister Libby. The character of Puss in Boots was so popular that it spawned his own spinoff movies with the third installment even coming out in December of this year. Pushed into the family business, youngest son Michael Corleone is fully dropped into the life of violence and crime. The fact that it was said to have just been a stray wandering around the Paramount studio lot just makes it even more endearing.

“I honestly think the cats kept me and my fiancée sane during COVID,” said Thibault, who only had Archie when they moved to Dartmouth from Nova Scotia in 2019. Whenever I mention pounce or ‘where is the kitty?’ in an evil voice, she dances on her toes with her back hunched. “I came up with a game called Pounce,” she explained. Archie virtually disappears during the day but never misses his nightly cuddles and kisses in bed. “He is now with us and so, so, so, loved. Then the game begins.” “Seeing them happy is all that matters to me.” “Someone had a butter tub full of milk next to her, not that she could actually drink it.” All of Targett’s cats — Star, Cuddles, Mouse, Kiki and Baby — came from precarious situations, whether they were rehomed, rescued or abandoned.

"Later, after the Egyptian Dynasty collapsed, cats became popular everywhere. Only 5.10% of people said they don't like animals. But during the Middle Ages, in Europe, cats became associated with superstition and suspected of carrying the disease during the Black Death of 1348, that is the reason why too many cats got killed in that era, and it wasn’t until the 1600s that cats’ reputation started to recover."

Dehydration in cats: What to do if your cat is not drinking (PetsRadar)

Normal, healthy adult cats are unlikely to get seriously dehydrated. Like all animals, their body carefully regulates the amount of water they lose through ...

If your cat is not drinking, you may want to check the signs of dehydration in cats. To prevent dehydration, you should make sure your cat has ready access to fresh water in all areas of the house. Even if you suspect dehydration, you should never give your cat water with a syringe. You’ll often find that your cat has a preference to water flavor. To solve both of these problems, you should provide plenty of water bowls, in plenty of locations. Feeding a wet cat food can also help to prevent dehydration, as cats will absorb moisture from their diet. Cats that are eating well and drinking well but that have an underlying illness meaning they’re passing more water as urine than they are drinking will slowly become dehydrated over a week or more. In severe dehydration you’ll notice them urinating less and their pee becoming strong-smelling, but don’t rely on this as a sign, as some of the causes of dehydration make cats urinate more than usual. Another quick test you can do, if your cat is amenable, is to touch your cat’s gums with a finger. This means it’s quite common for pet parents to think their cat is not drinking, but healthy adult cats will almost always be taking in enough water to avoid dehydration. This means the type of cat food can make a big difference to how much fluid a cat takes in. These cats will rapidly become dehydrated as they’re unable to drink or even get water from their food.

International Cat Day 2022: Amazing facts you should know (WION)

Cats are among the most popular pets. They necessitate the owners' care and attention throughout the year, but they have a particular day set out for them.

Perhaps everyone should take a cat nap to get things started! International Cat Day was founded by the International Fund for Animal Welfare to honour cats and protect them from harm. After a hard day, returning to your cat and seeing its cute antics may help you relax. As a result, the cat's back might stretch or shrink, curve upward, or oscillate along the vertebral line. Only camels and giraffes move in this way. The purpose of International Cat Day, which is celebrated on August 8, is to remind people of how the adorable animal helps to enhance the environment.

If your city has a lot of free-roaming cats, you might be surprised to learn they’re probably being cared for on a regular basis through a community cat program aimed at helping humanely reduce overpopulation and nuisance behaviors. One of the first things a shelter or veterinarian will do with a found cat is scan for a microchip, so it’s an easy way to ID your cat if lost and help him or her get home. Donate food or funds for medical care, volunteer to help socialize cats or become an ambassador for adoption by sharing social posts about cats looking for homes. 2. Make sure your cat has kitty ID. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, microchipped cats are more than 20 times more likely to be returned to their owners than those without chips. In fact, Shelter Animals Count revealed cat intakes in June were double that of January. Check with your local shelter to learn about adoption options and resources to help. Your community might offer sponsored programs to help local cats get adopted.
