Medieval Pet Advice You Probably Shouldn't FollowMake no mistake about it- pets were prized in the medieval era. After all, they were useful. Cats were kept as pest control agents, and dogs helped in hunting and herding. If you were able to keep a pet just for companionship, that was sign of wealth. However, that doesn't mean these pets were treated well. Cruelty to animals wasn't advised, but certain customs and advice handed down through generations sound like cruelty to us modern pet owners. For example, if you wanted to keep your dog from growing too big, you should give it only dirty water. Maybe it worked, but it couldn't have been great for the dog. To keep a cat from wandering away, "turn the cat three times around the pot hook, then rub its legs against their chimney wall." Or just put butter on the cat's legs, which is a folk tale that was still around in the 20th century. I was always told to put butter on a cat's paws when you move house, because it keeps them busy and distracted. Mental Floss has dug up 22 bizarre pieces of advice about pets from medieval times, with a warning to not follow them. You can read them in a list or watch a video, both presented here. Then you'll know what to do when your monkey bites you.#pet #petadvice #medieval

Support Group Established to Help Grieving Pet OwnersHave you ever lost a pet? You probably know how it hurts so much — the grief and loneliness can be overwhelming.

The Joys of Parenting, for AnimalsThis cat daddy couldn't keep his eyes open after putting up with four rambunctious kittens all day! We know one child will exhaust you, and some animals have up to a dozen at a time. Yes, cats and dogs and other animals love their offspring, but just like humans, they become exasperated by these uncivilized youngsters who just want to eat and play all the time.

The World’s Oldest Photos of PetsThe photograph above was posted at reddit with the claim that it was from the 1880s, and is the oldest photograph of a cat. That doesn't seem right at all, since photography was born in 1839. Sure, in the 19th century, it was difficult to take pictures of animals because they wouldn't sit still for the longer exposures necessary at the time, but surely someone took images of cats before 1880. And they did.

Long Lost Cat Came Back After 12 Years on the LamChristine De Castro received the best New Year's gift. She received a call from Vaughan Animal Services informing her that her cat had been found.When Christine De Castro got the call from animal services, she instantly became confused. She did a quick inventory check of her pets. She has a cat and two dogs. She found them all accounted for. To her surprise, the cat that was being referred to was her long-lost cat, Loli. Loli had been missing for more than a decade. The brown tabby escaped from their home in Richmond Hill, Ontario, during the summer of 2010. A week after reuniting with her cat, she was still in a state of shock. She recalled that when she lost Loli, she scoured the neighborhood and shared Facebook posts, but she was not able to find her at that time. This is why she did not expect that she would find Loli ever again. Although it may have been hard for Loli to recognize her owner again, Loli has already given her owner quite a few kisses and cuddles which is a good sign of rekindling their relationship.Image credit: CBC News #Cat #Ontario #Pet #Reunion #Animals

Everyone had a hard time looking for her because the embankment led to 70 feet below ground level and the poor elderly woman’s fall rendered her immobile and unable to ask for help. Lucky for her, one of the townspeople heard Piran’s meowing and that’s how she was rescued. According to the officials, she’s going to be fine.
