If Your Cat Ever Does This, Stop Everything And Go To The Vet Immediately.

Cancer can creep up on anyone, if you don’t know what signs to look for. It’s especially important when it comes to your pet, as they don’t have the right words to use to tell you that you’re not feeling well. That’s why there are these helpful signs to look for in your cat to tell if it has cancer.

Rapid weight loss is the first sign. As cancer grows quickly, your cat’s body will start to use up its reserves to fuel this growth.

Secondly is lethargy. This is different from your cat’s regular sleeping patterns. They’ll move more slowly and seem to have less interest in the things they used to enjoy.

Next are bumps. Regularly petting your cat all over its body will help you feel the growths and lumps that could be present under his skin.

Cat breath already isn’t the best, but if you notice it being particularly bad, then it’s time to get him to the vet.

Sudden lameness in your cat can mean that he has a tumor in his bone that makes it difficult for him to walk without feeling pain.

Sores and wounds that won’t heal mean that there’s something seriously wrong.

If your cat has difficulties breathing, there could be a tumor growing near his lungs and squashing them.

Loss of appetite is one of the biggies that your cat isn’t feeling well.

As well as sudden weight loss, swelling can also be an indication that something is very wrong with your cat.

Prolonged bouts of vomiting and diarrhea can spell extreme illness in your cat, and should be taken to the vet immediately.

“I’m Not Leaving You, Mama!” This is What Love Looks Like.

UPDATE: Lizzie and Phantom are currently recovering in an outdoor koala ward within the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital . They’re doing swimmingly; Phantom is both gaining weight and exploring his temporary habitat. And of course, mama and baby are sharing more adorable cuddles! For most species in the animal kingdom, the bond between mother and baby is incredibly strong. That's pretty much inarguable. But last week, two koalas in Australia further proved it. After they were hit by a car, Lizzie and her joey, Phantom were welcomed into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Six-month-old Phantom had escaped the accident unscathed. Lizzie, however, wasn’t looking so good, what with facial trauma and a collapsed lung. In order to survive, she needed to go under the surgeon’s knife. But this marsupial mama wasn’t alone during the life-saving procedure. Phantom accompanied her and clung to her as she received treatment. The vets let them be; Phantom was too y...

The Sound Of This Baby Rhino Wailing After Its Mother Was Killed By Poachers Will Haunt You

It’s one of the most sorrowful sounds you’ll ever hear, but it’s also a sad reality check for anyone who thinks protected species are safe from illegal poaching. In a video released this in July, a baby rhino named Davi cries for his mother after she was shot and killed by poachers. Most rhinos spend at least three years with their mothers before weaning, the Dodo reports, but Davi’s childhood was cut short at just 8 months old. The baby rhino stood close by his mother’s lifeless body until rescuers arrived. They fitted her with earplugs and a blindfold to calm his anxiety on the way to The Rhino Orphanage in South Africa. Source: YouTube/Terrence Daniels Davi huddles close to his mother’s dead body. It was there that Davi spent the night crying. “His calls for mom echoed deeply and urgently throughout the night, but two carers have been with him every step of the way,” caretakers posted . “At least he is in good physical condition [and] has no injuries...

Tesco: Ditch palm oil in your own-brand products!

>>>SIGN PETITION HERE<<< My name is Oscar, I’m 15 and I want to do everything I can to protect our environment . I was really upset and angry when I found out about the huge deforestation that is involved in the palm oil industry, and that’s why I’m calling on Tesco to ditch palm oil from their own-brand products. Iceland has already banned palm oil from their own brand products, so we know that this is possible for Tesco too. As the largest supermarket in the UK (and using over 40,000 tonnes of palm oil every year!), Tesco has an opportunity to set an example to other supermarkets and food producers that destroying swathes of forests for palm oil is not acceptable. I run a online cause called ‘Justice4Earth’ ( @justice4earth on Instagram and @justice4earth on Twitter) where I raise awareness about environmental issues. I found out that palm oil is literally everywhere: from shampoos, toothpastes and detergen...
