...Signifcance of Video Games The development of video games over the past decade have been astonishing, however the affects that following playing video games have been known for being long term. The significance in the development of Video games is great. It plays a huge role on children because it affects not only their cerebral growth but it also effects he functions of their daily lives. These aspects primarily affect the child’s future performance academically and socially. When presented with content that contradicts what values you were previously taught, it can be avoided when older but no so much as a child. With modern day video games, violence is displayed differently than before. In video games like COD (or call of duty) and GTA, it’s clear that violence is encouraged and is awarded. These games teach children that harming or potentially killing others or themselves is the right thing to do. Tis type of encouragement of the wrong values can tamper with children’s cerebral development. Because their brains are still developing, it is harder for them to distinguish what values are the correct ones to follow. This confusion of reality and fantasy can make kids repulsive and violent with their surroundings. The propaganda of violent video games has spread worldwide sales exceeding $21 billion in 2013. With violence playing a big role on the values with children, communication with others also get compromised because of playing too much video games. It can largely impact...

...When I initially chose my research question: Crazy cat ladies and the story behind them. What defines a crazy cat lady? I did not realize how many directions this could take me. I originally was looking towards the crazy cat lady being stereo typical middle aged to older single women. These women replace human interaction with feline friends. Engaging them in both their personal and social lives. However, the peer reviewed information was very hard to come by. I have changed my direction more towards Crazy cat lady or cat hoarder what defines one another?

...Reflection Paper Hanjing Kong 11/1/15 Emily Murphy Bus X103 Reflection Paper: Cats Haven Nowadays, as the quality of people’s life getting higher, keeping a pet as a company at house start to become a popular trend in this society. However, a lot of people who buy pets later decide it is an inconvenience and get rid of them. Pet abandonment becomes a huge problem worldwide. There are countless millions of cats and dogs put to death every year, simply because people want to breed more pure blood pets, or just because they are not able to survive after they got abandoned. Majority pets got abandoned will have their lives forcefully ended feeling terrified, alone and unloved. Statistics worldwide shows that there are around six hundred million pets every year and many countries have extremely cruel animal overpopulation controls. Luckily, there are still groups of kind people in this world who would provide abandoned pets shelters, food, and love selflessly. I have always wanted to volunteer in an animal shelter, but it is quite difficult because volunteering at animal shelters usually requires several months of training and classes which my schedule doesn’t allow me to participate. After surfing on the Internet for 3 hours, I found Cats Haven. Cats Haven is Indianapolis’s oldest non-profit, no-kill, free-roaming feline sanctuary. It has been serving the Central Indiana community by specializing in care for special needs and elderly felines for over 25 years...

...I haven’t got a job yet, therefore the problem that I have chosen will be a personal one. So, the problem that I am having is about a cat. Every day, as soon as I step outside, a cat comes rubbing itself on my legs and it gets pretty annoying after a while. The cat doesn’t have an owner, she’s a stray cat or to put it simply, the neighborhood cat. I don’t like the cat and I think it should go away, but it seems like I’m the only one who feels that way. My brother and a little girl that lives across the street play around with it, feed it and like the cat being around the neighborhood. When they feed and play around with the cat, the cat gets more attached and stays around. That’s where the problem comes in. I want the cat to go away but they feed it and make it stay around. So to analyze the problem deeper and get in more detail I have chosen the root cause analysis method. Root Cause Analysis Defining the problem • What do I see happening?...

I have hand raised and trained my two cats since they were kittens but have three cats in all. IV.

TRANSITION: Now that I have you thinking about cats, let me tell you about their intelligence. BODY I. Cats are very intelligent animals your cat is very special. Millions of years of evolution, however—tens of thousands in the company of humans—have instilled cats and dogs with some particular traits and mental skills. And while cat people and dog people love to debate the superiority of their preferred pet, pet lovers who really want to compare and contrast species-wide superiority would do best to turn to the science of animal cognition: A. Cats are capable of forming...

...------------------------------------------------- Then I heard footsteps directed towards me. I took a glance and saw figure of a black cat. “Pluto? Is that you?” I mumbled toward it. Then it was like a shine ray directed toward the object, it revealed Pluto. It was really Pluto then I saw Pluto’s red eyes shine. I became scared and ran away from it. Pluto walked closer towards me. The cat looks so scary with the red eyes and blood non-stop flowed out from the cat’s eyes. Did Pluto cries? But why the tears turned to blood? ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- How far you could run in just a square room cell? Wherever I ran, Pluto still walked towards me and it getting closer. I gave up when I felt tired and stood still at the corner of the room. The cold wind blew in made me shivered in fright. Pluto walked closer towards me and rubbed his body at my legs. I thought Pluto wanted to claim what I did towards him. I felt touched with his actions. Pluto still knew his master and did his job to accompany me when I felt like being alone. Indeed I am alone without anyone in the room. How could I be cruel to him? Although I had killed him but he is still kind toward me? Picture 2 ------------------------------------------------- Then I thought of something. I had killed Pluto then how could Pluto appear in front of me? This is so confusing. Then I saw a white hair area at his body, it was the cat in my new housing area last time....

...Essay 1 Artist: Laura Lopez Title: Michina, The Cat Style: Acrylic on canvas Date: unknown Dimensions: 2½ ft. high I think this piece of work is very beautiful and outspoken with its vibrant colors. I would have to say the canvas is about 3 ft. and 10 inches high, but the cat itself is probably 3 ft. high. I think the condition of the painting is perfect, there are no damages. I would think the color assortment on the cat, would represent the different moods the cat has. The gold around outlining the cat would represent royalty. The cat comes from high class. The cat seems to have different color whiskers, one side is gold and the other side is silver. Since it is women history month, I think this cat represents a woman and the reason for the two colors of the whiskers is because there are two sides of every woman. I would describe its’ features to be very distinctive but at the same time shows some carefree life. The cat only shows three paws, and I think the right paw is being blocked by the front paw. The head of the cat is a proportional circle, very concise. The eyes of the cat are colossal, and the pupils seem to be dilated as if the cat was surprised. The outline of the eye is the gold, the sclera is a light blue, the iris is a thin line of black, and the pupil itself is gold, shaped as a circle. There is a lot of emphasize on the eyes, and I think it’s because there is a lot of history. The cat has gone through a lot, and as a woman you can always tell by looking...

...my cats Long time ago, a people raised a cat and a dog as his pet. And the cat and the dog were very good friends. They ate together, lived together, and play together. They almost stayed together all of the day. One day, the master lost his ancestral gem and he was very sad. Then the cat and the dog decided to find the gem. On the road, they met a mountain, the dog said” Cat brother, climb on my back!” Then they met a river. The cat couldn’t swim. The dog said” Don’t worry. I can help you. Climb on my back.” Finally, they found the gem. But when they returned to home, the cat told their master” it’s me who find the gem, and the dog did nothing.” When the dog wanted to explain it, the master didn’t give dog a chance. He gave the cat a delicious fish, and kicked the dog out of the door. The dog and the cat weren’t friend since then. That’s why dogs bite cats as soon as they meet, and dogs always pursue while cats always escape. And another reason is that dogs and cats have very different language. When the dog meets the cat, the dog always wags tail, because they think it is a friendly way. But cats often think it is provocation. But nowadays dogs and cats aren’t always enemy any more. Sometimes, they can stay together peacefully. Maybe you could say the dog is a better pet. But I don’t know why, I just like cats very much. I always become crazy when I meet a cat. They are really cute. When they want something, they fawn on you and follow you all around. And cats can be very...

...Harmful Effects of Declawing on Cats Maria Stanley Washburn University Abstract This paper describes the ways in which declawing a cat does more harm mentally and physically for the cat than good. After describing the declawing procedure, this paper examines the mental and physical harm this procedure can cause to a cat and provides alternative solutions to declawing a cat. Many pet owners believe that declawing their cat is a harmless solution to their natural scratching behaviors, but it has been found that declawing a cat can actually cause more harm than good, as future life-threatening illnesses for the cat, mood swings, and a change in personality. Studies and researchers have tested this theory and found that instead of deciding to declaw their cat, pet owners should look for a safer and better method to prevent them from scratching things up. Declawing It is often believed that there is no serious harm in declawing a cat. Declawing a cat is often seen as a quick fix to stop the scratching that a cat might be doing. It is seen as a way to prevent one’s furniture, and other belongings from being scratched up. What most proponents of declawing do not realize, however, is all of the physical and mental distress that the cat will now suffer for the rest of its life because of this one action. Many people do not realize all of the harm that can come from declawing their cat. Those who believe that it is a quick fix to prevent their cat from scratching things do...

...problem I had to figure out the different ways to solve the problem where I could get the correct results. The problem had a cat, dog, and a mouse that need to cross the river, but the raft will only hold two of them at a time. I knew that I couldn’t leave the mouse and cat, but also knew I couldn’t leave the dog and cat as well. So when I started the problem solving I sent the cat first, then dog and after doing this I brought the cat back then took the mouse. This seemed very easy to solve but unfortunately I knew that the cat couldn’t be left with the dog or the mouse. I realized that the cat would fight with the dog and the cat would eat the mouse as well. Once I got the problem solved I did try different strategies of how I could get each animal to cross the river in a different way, but did keep in mind that each step I tried wasn’t going to work because I couldn’t leave the cat alone with either one. These was my first steps I took the cat over first then went back to get the dog, then I realized this wouldn’t work unless I brought the cat back. Then when I brought the cat back I knew the cat and the mouse couldn’t be together as well, so then I brought the mouse over. After I solved the problem I did the opposite I brought the mouse first then realized again this wasn’t going to work do to the fact the dog and cat wouldn’t get along either so then I went back and done the first problem solving that made the most sense to me. So I crossed the river first with the cat then...

Have any of you ever heard of Savannah cats?

...English 102 17 October 2013 Analysis Essay Fancy Feast The Ad targets pet owners and cat lovers everywhere and appeals to their feelings of love, happiness, and warmth at the sight of an adorable cat; the picture shows an elegant Persian cat with a dish (not a bowl) of the food. The cat is perfectly groomed. When a viewer first sees this Ad, with the elegant cat and yacht it makes them feel good that they can afford to feed their feline with such elegance. It does not appear as a cat food Ad. This is a very clever idea. The marketers at Purina know that cats do not read Ad. Cat owners make the decisions about the food they buy. Fancy Feast is targeted to the market segments that are true cat lovers and want the best for their cat. The name alone “Fancy Feast” is a term that cat lovers would understand. One of the other nice things about fancy feast is the can size. The can is smaller than some competitors cans. It is just enough for one meal for one cat. Fancy Feast consistently communicates the message of an upscale product. They do this in several ways. First, they name the product “Fancy Feast”. Then, they market it with fancy names like “Grilled Tuna Fish and Grilled Salmon Feast”. They use a Persian cat to market the product. This breed has an upscale association due to its cost and its appearance. This is a common advertising formula as describe by Roland Marchand in “The Appeal of the Democracy of Good”, it asserts that although the rich enjoy a great variety of...

...I have heard the old saying that dogs are man’s best friend. I don’t know much about dogs, but I do know a lot about cats. I have had a cat as a pet for at least 30 years. They are wonderful and I know I will always have one in my life. I think cats make the perfect pet because they are self sufficient, intelligent, and good companions. The first reason I think that cats make the perfect pet is because they are self sufficient. Cats can take care of themselves. When we take cats into our homes as pets, they don’t require much attention. Another good example of why cats are self sufficient is because they are clean animals and they bathe themselves quite often. Cats also have a built in deodorizer in their saliva and this deodorizer always makes their fur smell nice and fresh. One more good reason that cats are self sufficient is because they do not have to be let outdoors to go the bathroom. That is because cats almost instinctively know how to use the indoor litter box. All we have to do is show them where the litter box is and they will automatically go to it every time they have to use the bathroom. Another example of how cats are self sufficient is the fact that we don’t have to play with them when they are bored. Cat’s can amuse themselves for endless hours by watching the birds play in the yard or chasing a shadow on the wall. Another reason that cats are self sufficient is because even though indoor cats depend on us for food and water, we can leave a cat alone indoors...

...average person than cats could ever be. Cats and dogs both make a good pets depending on the individuals life style. The dog is a lot more social with their owner than a cat is with their owner. Dogs love to please their owner in all kinds of ways, and cats just wants to be pleased by their owner. Dogs can be train much faster and easier than a cat could be trained. Many people have a pet at home. The typical house pet is ether a cat or a dog, and some times people have both cats and dogs. I believe that a cat is a better choose if a person lives in an apartment because cats get patty train much faster, as wall as they don’t need that much space. I also believe that the dogs are more suited for a person that has a house because most dogs need to get out and exercise and play. If a person is looking for there first pet they need to consider their living situation, before choosing between a cat and a dog. Dogs are much more social with people than cats are. Dogs either want to be petted or play with you, such as playing fetch or tug-a-war. If dogs aren’t playing with you they are most likely laying close by if not even in your lad, depending on the size of the dog. On the other hand cats are most likely in the other room sleeping because they typical want to be left alone or get upset by load noises, and people that they don’t know. You may only see them two or three times a day, unless you go looking for them. All dogs want to do is to please their owner. I believe that dogs...
