CATS PRODUCTS IN QATAR

1. First of all, the #1 rule that you must never forget when you deal with cats is: Cats rule! They do, cats think that they are in charge…and they probably are. I mean, think about it for a bit. Cats have mounted a silent takeover of the world. They're in backyards, on the streets, in our workplaces, on T-shirts and motivational posters, and let's not even talk about the internet. This “peaceful invasion” of our lives started when wild cats evolved and changed their behavior to become more tolerant of humans. Cats have been around, some scientists say, for more than 9000 years! So, for thousands of years, cats have been both revered and feared, but mostly revered, by humans. They learned that becoming friendlier will make us open our hearts and our homes to them. We did, and they took over our lives. And it all started with two rather adventurous subspecies of the feline species… Recent researches state that, though there are five distinct subspecies of “Felis silvestris lybica”, there are two of these subspecies pets products in Qatar that are responsible for the domestic cats as we know them nowadays: one from southwest Asia and the other with an African lineage. The southwest Asian cats showed up first in what we know today as Turkey, and clearly, humans did more than tolerate them, they did, and still do, pamper them. The cat then later appeared in the Mediterranean region, likely following migrant farmers. From there, it spread around Asia, Africa, and the rest of Europe. Then there's the Egyptian cat. Around 5,000 years ago, according to researchers, it was clear that this cat began to be seen as more of a companion. Egyptian art depicts it sitting on sofas and round tables, clearly as part of the family. Cats were treated as sacred animals and were worshiped as divine creatures with psychic or supernatural powers that Egyptians began to mummify the cats, just as they did humans. These Egyptian cats hitched a ride with Vikings on their expeditions and their population exploded around the world. Cats then took charge. It is as if, it is not us humans that rule the world, but there is this secret cat society pulling our strings like puppets to cater to their every whim. Cats fascinate us; just admit it, with their rather mysterious disposition which resulted, as it’s often the case, in a variety of folktales and cat myths! We love cats, and we need to defend our feline friends’ honor and deflate such stereotypes and myths. Here are some of which: 1. Cats always land on their paws: Well, sadly, that is not true. While cats, indeed, are very agile creatures, and more often than not, they will land on their feet when they fall from a height due to a unique innate ability called “righting reflex” which is how cats' bodies naturally right themselves during a fall; they still can really hurt themselves if they fall the wrong way. They can sustain serious injuries from falls that include sprains, bone fractures, and even respiratory issues. Contrary to popular belief, cats are more likely to be injured from low heights than high ones because they don't have time to turn or twist their bodies into the necessary position for a safe landing. So, keep an eye on your feline friend and make sure that your cat does not take unnecessary risks. 2. Cats have seven lives (in this part of the world it’s 7, in others, it’s 9 Lives):

2. That is just ridiculous; of course, a cat has only one life, like the rest of the living beings. No one knows, exactly, is the origin of this myth, so many have argued that it started with the Ancient Egyptians because they believed cats to be divine creatures with superpowers. But, it’s more likely that the myth has developed over time due to cats’ ability to get themselves out of sticky situations, with their agility and dexterity. After all, over the years, Cats have survived drastic falls from great heights, earthquakes, and other natural disasters; so it’s not surprising they have earned their seven lives title. But really guys, though cats are very resilient indeed, they do catch diseases and die. So you ought to take your cat to the vet for vaccinations and regular check-ups. You may think that because of the 7 lives myth, cats might be immune to rabies, but this is also a myth. Cats can carry rabies and should be vaccinated regularly. Vaccinations are effective in keeping your cat clear of any infection. Have you tried giving your cat Qdine Ointment? It’s organic iodine that has no side effects that control most bacterial skin infections and prevents bacterial infection. You can buy it here: 3. Black cats bring bad luck: Now, really, this is just a superstition. Black cats have been the subject of myth and folklore for centuries, in many countries, ours included, they are considered unlucky and a bad omen. Some people even believe that black cats are the manifestation of evil spirits and demons, so they fear them and go out of their way to avoid them. But in other parts of the world, they are said to bring good fortune. In Japan, for instance, it is thought to be good luck if a black cat crosses your path; while in Scotland if a black cat appears on your doorstep tradition suggests you could be coming into money. Sadly, unwanted and abandoned black cats are notoriously difficult to re-home thanks to superstition and myth so, in reality, they are the unfortunate ones. 4. Cats are unaffectionate, if you want an adoring pet get a dog! Perhaps one of the greatest debates of modern times is whether dogs or cats make better pets, and one point against cats is that they are unloving. We need to understand that domestic cats are, by nature, more independent than domestic dogs. That is because felines do not live in packs like canines do, and thus tend to be more independent. Though some studies argue that cats don’t show signs of distress when their owners leave and aren’t particularly bothered when their owner returns to them. But, as any cat owner who’s come home from a hard day’s work to have their cat jump onto their lap for a cuddle will testify, cats do show affection towards their owners and many do like to be stroked and patted…just on their own terms. 5. Cats can see in complete darkness: No. Cats are unable to see in total darkness, any more than we can. But they are much better adapted than us to seeing in low levels of light. Their eyes let in far more light than ours as corneas in a cat’s eye are much thinner than in humans and their irises open far wider, both of which allow more light to enter. The retinas in the back of cats’ eyes also have more rods, which are responsible for magnifying light impulses. Like many animals, cats also have a highly developed reflective area in the back of their eyes; this is what makes them glow at night when caught in our headlights. Apparently, at least on land, bats are still the only mammals that can “see” in total darkness, but that is another story.
