Puppy Bowl 2022: Start time, Live Stream, TV Channel, Kitty Halftime
Aside from the commercials, food, and touchdown dances, there are plenty more things to enjoy during the game. With that in mind, why not start with something cute? Each team will be identifiable on the field by the use of a specific color scheme. We also do not require you to bring your pet.
This year’s Puppy Bowl will feature performances by Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart. The event was billed as the Ultimate Dogfight when Snoop Dogg and Stewart presented it. They will be coaches this year. As a consequence, they’ll be in charge of teaching and motivating their puppies to succeed.

How Old Is Your Cat in Human Years?
Enter your cat's age (from 1 to 25) in the calculator above to see the equivalent age in human years.
How old is your cat in human years? Consult our Cat Age Chart, which converts cat years to human years. Are you surprised at your cat’s “human” age?
The old “seven year” rule is simple but not quite accurate because cats age more rapidly during the first two years of life. In a feline’s very first year, he or she reaches the human age equivalent of 15. By a feline’s second year, he or she is the equivalent of age 24.

Spots, stripes and blotches: Color patterns of cat fur tracked to a key gene
Your sedentary lap cat may not seem to share many similarities with its fierce relatives prowling the African savanna. But Stanford Medicine researchers have discovered a specific gene that drives much of the development of the stripes, blotches and spots that decorate all feline fur.
"Color patterns are one of these unsolved biological mysteries; there’s no go-to model organism to study it — mice don’t have stripes or spots,” said Gregory Barsh, MD, PhD, professor emeritus of genetics. “The color patterns and variability that you see in animals like tigers, cheetahs and zebras prompted some central questions for us: What are the developmental genetic mechanisms and the cellular mechanisms that give rise to these patterns and how have they been altered during mammalian evolution to give rise to the amazing diversity of shape and form we see today?”

'Very unsettling': Scientists see troubling signs in humans spreading Covid to deer
Scientists swabbed the nostrils of white-tailed deer in Ohio and found evidence of at least six separate times that humans had spread the coronavirus to deer, according to a study published last month in Nature.
About one-third of the deer sampled had active or recent infections, the study says. Similar research in Iowa of tissue from roadkill and hunted deer found widespread evidence of the virus.

One of Betty White’s greatest legacies is helping animals
Though Betty White was a charming actor with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, her lifelong love of animals was no act.
In the introduction to her 2011 book “Betty & Friends,” she wrote that both her mother and father “were genuine animal nuts, and I am eternally grateful that they have passed much of that passion on to me.”
Fueled by that passion, White helped countless animals in myriad ways throughout her life.

Here's what happened to animals rescued in Dixie, Lava, Antelope, Fawn fires in 2021
In October, the Redding Record Searchlight published stories about animals who were victims of the state's raging wildfires, including the 1,500-square-mile Dixie Fire.
They and other animals were rescued by wildlife experts and caring neighbors. Injured wildlife received medical attention, then bunked at animal refuges where volunteers fed them and helped them keep their specialized skills and wild ways.
As 2021 wrapped up, we circled back with people who care for five of the animals we featured to see how they were doing.

The danger of ‘Petfishing’ - and how to stop it happening this Christmas
A recent survey of UK cat and dog owners by the' British Veterinary Association (BVA) and British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA), found over a quarter (27%) had come across a seller or advert that made them feel suspicious of the welfare of the pet, while purchasing their last cat or dog.
It seems soon-to-be pet owners aren't taking appropriate care in checking out the person selling a prospective pet, with less than half (43%) of UK dog or cat owners saying they visited the seller in-person in the animal’s home when researching their recent pet purchase.

Bi-partisan bill introduced to change animal testing mandates
The bill would end an outdated FDA mandate that experimental drugs must be tested on animals before they are tested on humans in clinical trials. The bill would not ban animal testing outright, but would allow the option for drug sponsors to use alternative methods.
Current mandates were passed in 1938, but since then, research has proven that animal testing is highly inconsistent at predicting toxic responses in humans. Senator Rand Paul says he believes the bill can pass both the House and the Senate without being challenged.

Feline okay? The app that tells you if your cat's happy
A Calgary, Alberta, animal health technology company, Sylvester.ai, has developed an app called Tably that uses the phone's camera to tell whether a feline is feeling pain.
The app looks at ear and head position, eye-narrowing, muzzle tension, and how whiskers change, to detect distress. A 2019 study published in peer-reviewed journal Scientific Reports found that the so-called 'feline grimace scale,' or FGS, is a valid and reliable tool for acute pain assessment in cats.

Do Dogs and Cats Recognize their Owners? The Many Ways Pets Tell Us Apart
When you watch your dog bounding across the dog park, or when you see your cat perched atop her scratching post, you recognize your pet by her shape, the color of her coat, and the way she moves. You may find yourself wondering, “Does my cat know me?” or, “Can my dog tell me apart from everyone else?” Our pets certainly know who we are, but they often know us in ways that humans, with our different set of senses, can only imagine: scent, sound, and subtle cues of movement and touch.

The benefits of owning a pet -- and the surprsing science behind it

Science agrees.
"I have a list of 10 health benefits [that] studies have shown pet owners have," said psychologist Harold Herzog, a pet-loving professor at Western Carolina University who has long studied the human-animal connection.
