【简体类】养猫必须小心门窗安全 (2/2)


【貓貓資料分類】 >> 【簡體資料類】 

其它可以参考的窗网安装如下:
 
 
另一款,安全窗网,再加装回卷纱网,防止飞虫进屋。

 
 
 
 
 另一款,安全 1吋半窗框,再加不锈钢网,不锈钢网可拆下清洗。

 
 
至于比较经济的方法,可以自己DIY于普通的窗框上,安装格子网。

 

 没有窗框的窗,可以DIY安装格子网,
由于没有地方可以绑上 cable tie 索带,可以用强力负重贴纸 配上挂钩巩固。

 
 
强力负重贴纸,注明可以负重 5磅
 
 
 强力贴纸配上挂钩巩固

 
 
有露台的单位,于通风和猫猫安全两者取得平衡,这一款设计非常理想。



另一款纱窗露台门,但必须注意纱窗的物料,确保不易被猫抓抓破。
另外,门的开关要加上锁,以防强风 / 被猫抓开。

 
 
 
 市面上有一种叫 "角度锁",安装后可以限制开窗的距离。

大门方面亦要份外留神,很多时候猫猫会从大门走失。除了自己留心之外,于室内加装一只门是最好的方法,可惜此方法必须配合各人家庭环境,亦须有一定金额的工程支出。
 
 双重门设计外,特别设计加装于窗框上,也是另一种风格。

【简体类】养猫必须小心门窗安全 (1/2)


【貓貓資料分類】 >> 【簡體資料類】 

养猫人士必须小心家居门窗安全,由于猫猫好奇心强,弹跳能力亦高,往往因为主人的疏忽而发生走失,跳楼意外,为了保障猫儿生命安全,必须于窗户安装合格安全窗网。

如果自置物业,可以考虑找装璜公司量尺寸来安装养猫窗网。假如是租住的单位,或许需要考虑节省开支,亦可以于市面购买格子网,一般香港五金店或者十元店都可以买到,DIY自己安装,方法简便,为了猫猫生命安全,不容忽视。

窗框空隙 2 吋,如果家中所养是成猫,已经很安全;但如果是小猫,要再自行安装格子网,待幼猫成长后,再解除格仔网,如下图:
以防幼猫从空隙偷走
窗框上加上格子网
 另一款式安全窗花

 
 如果不想安装窗网,可以考虑纱窗。装上纱窗视觉上感觉通透,
但纱窗款式,要选坚固的不锈钢网,而不应使用太软的纱网。
假如所养猫猫爱做蜘蛛侠爬窗,最好还是选择比较耐用及安全款式。

纱窗可安装六角锁匙,提高窗网的安全性,没有特制锁匙。窗网不能打开,
确保窗网不会因为强风,猫猫恶搞而被打开。

另一款式
气窗款式


其他窗网款式 :
由于市面有不同款式窗纱,决定订制时,必须了解清楚窗纱物料及安装方法。因为有一些款式对于养猫是不够安全的,例子如下:
 
 这一款铝质外框用磁贴自行贴上,
可随时解除,有掉下来的危险,不太安全。

 此款,软胶边外框,自行贴上,恐怕受力会脱落,不太安全。

 
 
 
 此款,拉落款式软纱窗,外形美观,但如果纱网受压会走位就不太安全了。
 
 
 纱网受压会走位,有发生意外的可能性。

待续。。。。。。

【简体类】纽约酒店「猫公关」 被法令限制行动(新闻)


【貓貓資料分類】 >> 【簡體資料類】 

美国纽约市的阿尔冈大饭店(Algonquin Hotel)70年来都有「猫公关」坐镇,在饭店内四处巡视、在柜台跟客人交际,已成为一个可爱的传统。不过碍于卫生署法令规定,现在第三代公关猫必须被限制行动,只能栓在柜台旁的沙发床,好在牠的适应力良好,不排斥牵绳。

所幸牠适应良好。(图/达志影像)
阿尔冈饭店是纽约市的著名地标之一,游客提到它,都会联想到它们可爱的「猫公关」传统!饭店跟猫的缘分是从70年前 (公元1930起,有一只饥肠辘辘的小猫跑进去找食物,老板Frank Case没有将牠赶走,反而十分欢迎这只「小小猫旅客」留下来,供牠吃住,还替牠取名叫「玛提达(Matilda)」。

没想到「玛提达」受到许多旅客喜爱,俨然成了饭店的招牌「公关猫」。直到牠过世后,很快地又有一只猫旅客「玛提达二世 (Matilda II)」住进来,一样受到客人的热爱!

饭店发言人表示,它们还特地开一个「玛提达」专属的电子信箱,总是收满从世界各地粉丝寄来的信。而每次来住房的旅客,总是要向柜台人员打听「玛提达」的踪迹,看牠是去大厅溜达了;还是跑到厨房了。

然而现在的「玛提达三世(Matilda III)」就没那么自由了!碍于当地卫生署的最新规定,任何有供应食品的营业场所,不得有「动物」进出。所以饭店现在只好将「玛提达三世」拴起来,并为牠准备一个沙发床,现在牠只能在柜台边出没。

旅客现在可以在柜台看见猫公关三世。

这份工作好像挺不错的,我也想当「猫公关」耶,不知道是否有人想聘请我呢

【英文類】Cat Myths - Separate Fact From Fiction (5/5)


【貓貓資料分類】 >> 【英文資料類】


Devon Rexes, Cornish Rexes & Sphyx's are hypoallergenic
In truth, a rex cat is no different from any other cat and produces allergen like all other cats. They are not hypoallergenic by any means, as claimed by some. Then why do some people seem to have no allergic reaction to rex cats? There is no simple answer to this question at this time, and more research is required to get the answers needed. One possible hypothesis is that as rex cats have less hair to shed, they simply deposit less allergen-laced hair around the home. But, whatever the reasons some allergic people seem to tolerate them. From personal studies and observations by Margaret Lawrence in the UK, she found that around 10% of people allergic to cats tolerate rex cats. Please, before you race out and look for a rex cat, remember you should always test your allergies by visiting home or catteries that only own rex cats, and test continuously over several weeks or months. As you don't want the poor little kitten to be re-homed if you find out you are allergic to him or her. Don't let your new cat become another statistic at a shelter.

Indoor cats cannot get diseases/parasites
Many viral/bacterial infections are airborne & can be carried into your house  through the air or on a person's clothing. Fleas & other parasites can also be brought in via a person's clothing.

Pregnant women shouldn't own cats
If a woman hasn't had prior exposure to Toxoplasmosis & becomes infected during pregnancy, it can harm her unborn baby. Cats are the natural host for Toxoplasmosis, however Toxoplasmosis can also be acquired from eating undercooked meat, improperly washed vegetables or gardening. I was tested for Toxoplasmosis throughout my recent pregnancy & remained negative even though I was living with 9 cats, one of whom had tested positive for Toxoplasmosis. Pregnant women should take precautions such as avoiding cleaning the litter tray, ensuring their meat is thoroughly cooked, washing vegetables properly & wearing gloves while gardening. There is no need to get rid of your cat just because you're pregnant.

Putting bells on a cat's collar will stop it catching mice & birds
This theory has been around for hundreds of years. I used to put bells on my cat's collars, in fact Eliot, who was my best hunter had three bells on her collar at one point & it did absolutely nothing to stop her catching the wildlife. In fact, there is new research to indicate that cats who have had bells put on their collars are better at catching prey. This is because they learn to move without  the bell making a sound & therefore they are stealthier.
For further information on putting bells on cat's collars, read this article. Cats Indoors.

All cats hate water
Most cats hate water but not all. Turkish Van's are known to be fond of water & enjoy swimming. My Bengal also likes to play with water, although I can't imagine him ever wanting to go swimming in it. I've known of other Bengal cats who enjoy playing with water also.

Siamese cats are mean
This myth came about in part from the movie The Lady & the Tramp where the Siamese cat is portrayed in less than a glowing light. In my opinion, temperament is a result of genetics & socialisation. If a cat is raised in a loving environment, the chances are they will grow up into well adjusted & loving pets. If the myth were true that Siamese cats are mean, I'm sure they wouldn't be one of the world's most popular breeds of cat.
