Yeah, cats usually do that. You lean down to pet them and they start to lick your hand and you feel that rough touch against the skin of your hand and you just don’t understand why? We’ve all been through there, us, all the cat owners. Some of us might have figured it out, don’t…
If your dog just keeps licking you to the point where it becomes a compulsive behaviour, you’re probably wondering if there is something wrong with him. There is no real answer to this question, but rather a series of tests you’ve got to make. Dogs like to lick us for various reasons and a compulsive…
You’ve probably noticed your dog likes to lick your wounds. It’s a strange feeling, especially when you’re really upset in the first place and you see your canine pal doing it out of his own will, just because he sees you are sad. Usually, dogs lick their own wounds; it helps them soothe the pain…
A dog’s tongue is a funny thing because you can expect to find it even in the worst or grossest places on planet Earth. You know when you are a kid and your parents are always scolding you about putting anything in your mouth and you don’t understand why? Well, dogs keep doing that even…
How many animals are out there in the world? Probably more than you can count, so the existence of a public data base which records the bacteria contents in each and every animal’s mouth seems like something unreal. It actually is. What animal has the cleanest mouth? There isn’t an actual quantitative study that can…
“Dog goes woof, cat goes meow, bird goes tweet and mouse goes squeek…but there’s one sound that no one knows, what does the fox say?”. Remember this song by the Norwegian duo band, Ylvis? It is one crazy track with an even crazier music video that got anyone wondering: what does the fox really say? Does…
Does your dog like chocolate? Does he wag his tail when he hears a chocolate bar being opened? Does he look at you like he’s the hungriest little dog in the world when you eat that chocolate? Do you find it so hard to resist his puppy eyes? We’ve all been there and we should…
You’ve probably happened to catch your dog dreaming. You know, when he’s moving his legs in his sleep and I’m pretty sure there are some videos on the internet with dogs doing all sorts of funny things in their sleep. This means they are dreaming. The question is, how are they dreaming? Are they dreaming…
There are a lot of specialists who claim that dogs actually dream in their sleep, much like us, humans do. It might actually be embedded in the very biology of a lot of other mammals, including, cats, rats, elephants, monkeys or shrews. They all experience REM, which is what happens about 90 minutes after you…
These two species have been with us since the very beginning of our modern lives and further back than that. They’re human’s best friends. We’ve been training them, loving them, living with them and we developed a very strong bond with them that this question is bound to hurt us a little. Which are smarter:…
Well, well, dogs can be smarter than humans. It just depends on what you mean by “smart”. Dogs will never be able to build computers, solve math problems or build the tallest building in the world, but they won’t mess things up like we do, they won’t destroy their environment, kill each other for pride…
