Bahasa Tubuh Kucing dan Tips Memelihara Kucing

Saya mau sedikit sharing pengalaman dan pengetahuan saya tentang kucing nih. (karena tiba-tiba saya rindu kucing saya yang lama tak pulang, semoga dia baik-baik saja).

Beberapa arti gerak tubuh kucing: 

1. Jika kucing Anda menggoyang-goyangkan ekornya dengan wajah tanpa ekspresi saat Anda sentuh, itu tandanya kucing Anda merasa tidak nyaman diperlakukan seperti itu. sebaiknya jangan dilanjutkan, atau Anda akan berakhir tercakar oleh kucing.

2. Seekor kucing yang sedang bergembira akan mengulurkan dan kemudian menarik kembali kuku-kukunya, dan setelah itu ia akan mendengkur dengan kuat serta mengibaskan ujung ekornya.

3. Jika kucing Anda memejamkan mata saat Anda elus-elus atau sekedar menggaruk-garuk leher atau kepalanya, itu tandanya dia menikmati dan merasa nyaman (dan biasanya dia meminta lagi saat kita sudah tidak mengelusnya). tapi sebaliknya kalau saat dielus mata kucing tersebut tetap terbuka lebar atau bahkan melotot, itu tandanya kucing itu sedang tidak mood untuk dielus-elus atau sedang memusatkan perhatiannya pada hal lain.

4. Kucing yang melipat kupingnya ke belakang dan cenderung bersiap untuk berjalan mundur saat orang asing mendekat pertanda bahwa ia tidak suka didekati orang tersebut.

5. Kucing kecil liar yang tidak dipelihara orang biasanya akan takut jika ada yang mendekat. Namun, jika Anda sudah menggendongnya dan mengelusnya perlahan, biasanya dia akan merasa tenang dan rileks. Tapi tetap saja dia akan langsung kabur bergitu Anda selesai mengelusnya.

Tips-tips memelihara kucing:

1. Lebih baik memberi makan kucing Anda porsi kecil sebanyak 2 - 3 kali sehari dibandingkan dengan memberinya sekali makan porsi besar.

2. Rajin-rajinlah mengajak kucing Anda berolahraga atau bermain sekadar menggerakan tubuhnya supaya dia tidak menjadi kucing gendut yang tidak berotot. karena kucing pun bisa kelihatan macho.

3. Mandikan kucing Anda seminggu 2 kali dan atau setiap kali dia kotor. kemudian bila Anda mengeringkan bulunya menggunakan hair dryer, pastikan suhu tidak terlalu panas dan bulu tidak terlalu kering, karena kucing akan melakukan pengeringan sendiri dengan cara dijilati. dan air liurnya akan membuat bulunya halus. (tips ini tidak berlaku pada kucing ras Sphynx, karena mereka hampir tidak berbulu).

4. Bila Anda memakaikan kucing Anda kalung kucing (semacam choker), usahakan untuk memasangnya agak longgar, karena kucing tersebut akan merasa gatal apabila kalung tersebut terlalu kencang. selain itu, hal tersebut juga dapat merusak bulu-bulu di sekitar lehernya.

5. Jangan terlalu sering mengurung kucing Anda di dalam kandang, karena dia akan merasa sendirian dan terisolasi. Itu tidak menutup kemungkinan jika dia akan tiba-tiba menjadi semacam hilang kendali.

6. Bagi Anda yang selalu memberi makan kucing Anda dengan makanan kucing instan (seperti whiskas, frieskies, dan sebagainya), sebaiknya selingi dengan makanan alami seperti ikan (yang bisa juga dicampur dengan nasi supaya banyak memberikan tenaga) atau telur, karena makanan alami akan menjaga kucing Anda agar tidak menjadi terlalu gendut.

9 Signs you're happier than you think

You were a smiley student

Adults with the biggest grins in their college yearbook pictures were up to 5 times less likely to be divorced decades later than those who looked less happy, according to a new DePauw University study. A smiler’s positive disposition may attract other happy people or rub off on a spouse.


You have a sister

People with at least one female sibling report better social support, more optimism, and better coping abilities, according to a study presented at the British Psychological Society’s annual conference. Sisters appear to encourage communication and cohesion in families.


You're not glued to the TV

The happiest people spend 30% less time parked in front of the tube, according to a University of Maryland study that analyzed 34 years of data from more than 45,000 Americans. They’re more likely to spend time socializing, reading, or attending religious services—habits that are linked to better moods and health.


You keep souvenirs on display

People who use mementos or photos to remind themselves of good times better appreciate their lives and are happier, says Sonja Lyubomirsky, PhD, a professor of psychology at University of California, Riverside. Good memories remind you of your “happiness potential” and promise that soon you can reach it again.


You make exercise a priority

People who exercise more are less likely to be stressed and more likely to be satisfied with life, according to Danish researchers. Compared with sedentary people, joggers are 70% less likely to have high stress levels and life dissatisfaction, the study found. Couch potatoes who start moderate exercise—the equivalent of 17 to 34 minutes a day—experience the greatest happiness lift.


You have a healthy love life

Physical intimacy is a key contributor to happiness, found a study by Dartmouth economist David Blanchflower, PhD, and Andrew Oswald, PhD, of England's University of Warwick. Married people report 30% more sex than singles, which may be one reason they also report being happier.


You hang out with happy people

Socializing with a cheerful person in your neighborhood increases the likelihood that you’ll be happy too, according to a new study. How often you get together matters most, say the researchers: People who live within half a mile of a buoyant buddy increase their odds of being happy by 42%. If the friend lives farther away (within a 2-mile radius), the chances drop to 22%—probably due to fewer get-togethers.


You stay warm with hot cocoa

Clutching a steaming beverage—coffee and tea also do the trick—can elicit a flood of positive feelings, according to a Yale University study. This may be because people associate physical warmth with emotional warmth, say the researchers. Study subjects held cups of either hot or iced coffee; those gripping warm mugs were more appreciative of friendliness in others and also felt more generous and trusting themselves.


You have two best friends

Among 654 married adults, those who said they had at least two “best friends” (not necessarily including one’s spouse) were likelier to have better mental well-being, says a study. But additional friends didn’t lead to any more happiness than just a pair.

CRAP!

A guy goes to the doctor and says, "Hello, I would like to be castrated."

"That's a lifechanging operation," says the doctor. "Are you sure you want to do it?"

"yes," says the man. "and if you refuse I'll go to another doctor."

"OK," says the doctor, "but it's against my advice."



So the man has his operation and he's walking around the hospital the next day with a bandage around his private area. Suddenly, he sees another man with the same thing. So he walks up to him and says, "Good afternoon, I see we got the same operation."

"Yes," says the other man, looking happy. "I've been wanting to get circumsized for 37 years, and I've finally done it."

The first man looks panicked and says, "Shit!! That's the word!"
