Made from material developed for military use, this is the beach tote that is impossible to fill with sand. Used in military applications to contain sand and dust when helicopters land and take off, the material is made from two layers of patented woven PVC/PE that instantly filter sand to the beach as soon as it falls on its surface. The specially woven polyurethane acts as a one-way filter to prevent sand from reemerging through the bottom or sides of the bag. The tote also allows dirt, dust, and water to pass through and won't absorb moisture, preventing mold and mildew. Includes a solid internal pocket for a phone or wallet, shoulder straps, and reinforced box stitch seams. 15" H x 17" W x 7 1/2" D. (1 lb.)

It works!!
By CD
from Nashville, TN
I don't know how that fabric works, but I can say that sand does not enter it, but if it does get in from the top, it falls through the bag and out again.

Great Tote for the Beach will not collect sand like other bags do, nice size and does not lock in moisture creating mold
Taking it to Costa Rica in July
By K8 the Great
from Calgary, Alberta Canada
We have already bought the sandless mat and took it to Costa Rica with us. Our first baby grandchild sat on it on the beach. Now number two grandbaby is using it. This mat has kept he grandchildren from getting sand all over them and has been very useful.I expect to have the same sort of success with the beach tote.
Great bag
By Tammy
from PTC, GA
I can't wait to use my new beach bag. Love the color and love the fact that it is big and looks like it will hold a lot. Looks very well made and so far I would recommend and plan on purchasing some more for friends
It really works
By Laurie
from Richmond, VA
I used this on our trip to the Outer Banks and it kept all of our swim towels free of sand, so it really does work. Best of all, it has a small pocket that I slipped my iPhone in. It kept the sand off of my iPhone and my husband's iPhone. I wish they made a similar bag with a zipper or draw string. I need something for all of those kids' sand toys. I would have ordered the blanket but it was on a significant backorder and I needed it sooner rather than later.
The Best Beach Tote

Best Tote to take and use in Maui. I have two and use them to carry all thetowels and snorkel gear. They are large and light weight, perfect for another day in Paradise.

My wife and I decided to take the risk, with a fallback plan of cutting the mattress into two twin size mattresses for our kids if we didn't like it. The mattress arrived in four boxes and we put it together with no problems. There were no instructions, but if you can't figure it out by looking at the picture, then you probably aren't smart enough to order it via internet either. :) The only minor issue we have is with the top layer. I'm a XXL kinda guy and make a decent divot in the bed when I sleep (goes away shortly after rising) and the top layer pulls in towards the middle of the bed . When I get up the top layer doesn't lay perfectly flat again; it leaves a "bubble" or puffed up area on the bed somewhere. This does not affect the sleep quality AT ALL, and I think it could be easily solved by glueing the top two layers together with a little spray adhesive. We're leaving ours as-is because it doesn't bother us.As for sleep quality, I've never slept on a more comfortable bed. It took a couple of nights to get over the "different" feel of the bed, but even on those first nights I slept better than on my old innerspring mattress. I feel more rested and no longer wake up with back pain. It's rather odd (in a good way) that when I wake up I have the idea that I hadn't moved or shifted position at all during the night, when previously I would have the memory of tossing and turning most nights. In the past I could hardly sleep when it was a full moon (who knows why) but I recently slept through a whole cycle and honestly couldn't tell you which night the full moon came on.I can't speak of longevity yet, having only had the mattess a month, but even if it only lasts as long as a typical innerspring mattress (about 5 years for me b/c of my size) I'll be happy.In conclusion, I am extremely pleased with the mattress and would not hesistate to purchase another one.
I bought 1 king-size and 2 twins for our winter cottage in the Bahamas. What attracted me was that the mattresses came in layers which, to me, translated to less shipping from the US to the Bahamas -- and this part is true. But what I found is this: the mattresses are too soft, even on a platform bed -- I am now using the firm base level as the top mattress; the layers aren't always exactly the same size and they shift -- in fact, this year I am bring back a foam-friendly glue to glue the layers together. Also, I bought real "mattress covers" not just the mattress pad that come with the product. This review is written more than one year after the purchase.
It has been a few weeks since using the bed and I honestly noticed a significant difference the first night, MY BODY DID NOT ACE AND PAIN IN THE MORNING. With my previous spring mattress I woke up every morning needing a massage and so did my wife, just hated that I didn't purchase months earlier. This is my first experience with memory foam and I am not disappointed. Actually I was so impress with this specific bed I convinced my in-laws to purchase one knowing that they are not easily impress and there would be consequences if they were disappointed. I was a bit reluctant at first considering the cheap price compared to the memory form mattress set that sell for thousands. After reading the reviews however I noticed that majority of the buyers were very happy with their purchase and I figured worse case I could at least get a year or two out of it (it could not possibly be worse than my spring mattress) then purchase something better. Considering what I know now I would have paid twice the price for the same mattress, if that does not convinces you of my true experiences nothing will! As I've mentioned above I am no expert, I did try floor model memory foam mattress at some popular stores during my search and found that this mattress is better than 80% of those selling for $1000+ but that is the extent of my expertise. Something to also consider is that everyone's preferences is not the same, both me and my wife weigh just around 140 - 150lbs (not together) and we like that the bed contours to our body without feeling as if were in a hole. Hope this is helpful, if you hate your current mattress (bed) you have nothing to loose you can always send it back, can you really put a price on a conformable night sleep? It is not cloud 9 but it's the closest I have ever been.
(<<<Con>>>)I'm not sure if I over expectation or not but to be honest I'm little disappointed. There are couple reason for that: (1.) I have try Tempurpedic bed before and if I compare both bed by using bread as metaphor. Tempurpedic is like a fresh baked bread, it's soft and dense but for this accu bed it's like a month old bread in the fridge, it's over dry, hard and shallow. I know that bed is cost like than 1/6 of temurpedic but I did expect that the accu gold 5.3 layer should be similar as tempurpedic. I have google the product and I found that ACCU 5.3 isn't really a memory foam with 5.3 lb/cubic inch density but the number is more like the firmness level (go to their official site there is no mention what number for but again their never tell the density in their specsheet). (2.) I live in MO and the manufacture is in KS so it only take 2 days of delivery (NICE!) and since is fresh out of the factory I didn't expect an odor to be trap in the bed this bad (almost a month now my bedroom still smell but it getting better) and there is some discoloration (from white to more yellowish) in accu 3.3 layer like it's a really old product.(3.) Each layers in uneven due the unequal size of each layers. And since it has separate layers it harder to move them and more work on assembly. (<<<Pro>>>) With that all being said this is the most value memory foam in overstock.com (and probably the entire e-store over internet). Within 500$, you'll get total of 5 inch of memory foam (don't count the base layer ,the traditional urethane foam suck) you won't find any better value than this, most memory foam mattress in 600$ range only have 3 inchs or less of memory foam. And for me this is a huge step up form my old coil-spring bed. Also it seem to me temperature sensitive, I feel softer on the section that I sleep.
Mattress is very hot. It is very firm and doesn't seem to help with pressure points. Arrived great and in perfect shape. No smell and puffed right up. Slept on it that night. It was a great price, but I since then ordered a mattress topper with cool jel. Overall it arrived and looked the same and it definitely is 13". It is just still uncomfortable to me after 2 weeks. Hoping the topper will help.
It shifted constantly, the layers were slightly different sizes and the cover was too thin and tore immediately.
Absolutely love this item has been a god sent always looking forward to nights just to get to this sleep mattress
Product is on point. I can sleep much better at night. Nice material
Wow, what a mattress. Very happy with product. Wake up with no trouble at all. I worked at a mattress company years ago so I know a mattress when I see one. Keep up the good work...
This is my first time buying a mattress online let alone overstock. I was very apprehensive about doing so with this one because of the simple fact it came in layers. Yes, the layers provide flexibility in switching out firmness, but it did exactly what I most worried about. It shifts and does stay lined up. The bed arrived in four boxes and smells quite funny when you open them, but with a little time for them to restore to their size and air out, it was OK in the end. It comes with a rather cheap mattress cover and the side of the cover is so thin and gives that it really does not allow any hold in for keeping the layers in place. So at the bargain we got this bed for, how much can you really complain. But I will say this. It is not Tempurpedic! material, or even the great original Space bed material. It is low grade Bargain stuff! This bed only held up and provided us with great sleep for about 8 months. Even during the 8 months did we rotate a lot as well thinking maybe that would help. I would not buy this bed again. It got us by, but I just wish it would have lasted longer. Hope others have had better luck.

This test measures the amount of fetal fibronectin (fFN), a protein made during pregnancy. It's found between the lining of your uterus and the amniotic sac that's protecting your baby. Fetal fibronectin works as a glue to hold the amniotic sac to the uterine lining.
This test helps determine whether you're at risk for premature delivery. The protein is present in cervical and vaginal fluid during the first half of your pregnancy and then disappears. It should reappear only in the last month before you deliver.
If you're at risk of delivering your baby prematurely, your doctor may order an fFN test. Your doctor may order this test if you have any symptoms of premature labor, including:
Pelvic pressure or cramping
Uterine contractions
Vaginal discharge
Thinning or dilation of the cervix
Your doctor may also order this test if you don't have symptoms but you have a history of preterm labor or if you have a short cervix.
Your doctor may also order a vaginal ultrasound if you test positive for fFN but don't have signs of labor.
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
Your doctor will report your results as either positive, meaning fFN is present, or negative, meaning fFN isn't present.
If you test positive but have no signs of labor, you may be at risk for both premature labor and premature delivery. If you test positive and you have symptoms of premature labor, your doctor will want to monitor you closely.
A negative test result means you're not likely to go into labor within the next two weeks.
The test requires a sample of cervical fluid and is much like a Pap test. Your doctor will place a speculum in your vagina and take a swab of cervical fluid from the area just outside the opening of your cervix.
This test poses no known risks.
Your test results may be affected by a yeast infection, using lubricants or douches, or having had sex within 24 hours of the test. Certain medical conditions and certain medications may cause excessive bleeding.
You don't need to prepare for this test. But you should avoid having sex within 24 hours of the test. Also avoid putting anything, such as lubricants or douches, into your vagina before the test.

Many watch winders also have space for additional watch storage. A watch box with a winder is a good investment for keeping your automatic watches ready to wear.

Osteosarcoma research ?
by richard Saltu S R esea R che R P R ofile I t's often a challenge to develop drugs for rare forms of cancer; they are not widely studied, and recruiting enough patients for clinical trials is difficult. In these cases, "the key is understanding the biology of the disease," says Katherine Janeway, MD, a pediatric oncologist at Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center (DF/CHCC). Her goal is better treatments for osteosarcoma, a bone cancer that often strikes teenagers. "Progress in patient care is going to be very dependent on laboratory discoveries," says Janeway, who heads the DF/CHCC bone tumor program, where she cares for patients. She also conducts research in a Dana-Farber laboratory, probing the biology of osteosarcoma. Every year in the U.S., osteosarcoma affects 400 chil - dren under age 20, as well as 200 young adults. Approxi - mately one-third of these 600 will ultimately die from the disease. The cancer is treated with surgery – sometimes requiring amputation – and chemotherapy. "There have been no new drugs for it in the last 25 years," says Janeway. "There haven't been a lot of breakthroughs in identifying targetable genetic mutations." Osteosarcoma develops near the ends of long bones, such as the shin and thigh bones or the arm, during rapid growth. The tumors include primitive-looking bone- forming cells that grow chaotically rather than differenti - ate normally into specialized types of cells and tissues. Some drugs force primitive, malignant cells to "grow up," forming differentiated tissues and curtailing their growth. Janeway asks, "Can we find a drug that can push osteosarcoma to look more like normal bone? If so, we could combine the drug with standard chemotherapy." Using a method developed by DF/CHCC pediatric oncologist Kimberly Stegmaier, MD, Janeway has begun testing a group of 1,500 existing drugs, to see if they can force osteosarcoma cells to differentiate. So far, she says, some promising candidates have been identified and are under further evaluation. "If we don't find anything, we'll have to move on to a much wider screen that includes compounds that aren't FDA-approved," she notes. Failing that, it will be all the more important to search for clues within the cancer cells. "We don't know enough about the basic biology of what blocks differentiation in osteosarcoma tumors," explains Janeway. "We don't know which gene pathway we should be targeting." Because industry might not be willing to invest a lot in the search for a new drug for such a rare disease, says Janeway, "I think you can really argue that if you can't find an existing drug, osteosarcoma is the type of disease where the initial work to develop a new therapy would need to be done in an academic environment such as Dana-Farber." Every year in the U.S., osteosarcoma affects 400 children under age 20, as well as 200 young adults.

About Sally ?
Sally Naser is young girl who has faced more adversity than any child should ever have to bear. Rather than dwelling on her own personal hardships, she lives her life each day full of enthusiasm, love, and hope. Sally lives in Dedham with her parents, Rob and Camille, older brothers Oliver and Evan, the family dog Bandit and her dog Zippy. She is a seventh grade student at Monsignor Haddad Middle School in Needham where she is an excellent student. Sally loves all types of animals and has endless energy for crafts. One of her wishes is that someday she will be able to swim with dolphins.
The Initial Diagnosis
In May 2010, two weeks after her 10th birthday, Sally was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a bone cancer. It is also referred to as osteogenic sarcoma. Osteosarcoma afflicts only 600 children each year in the US, or less than 5% of all pediatric cancers. Before seeing a doctor, Sally complained of knee pain that was initially attributed simply to a banged-up knee from soccer. However, the pain persisted and Sally was taken her to her primary care pediatrician. Thankfully, her doctor did not dismiss the symptom as "growing pains" (which too often happens with this cancer) and ordered an x-ray of her knee. He immediately referred us to an orthopedic oncologist at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston where she underwent a series of tests including MRI, CT scan, Bone Scan and x-ray to evaluate the extent of the cancer. A pathological review of the biopsied tumor confirmed her diagnosis as high grade osteosarcoma.
The treatment plan prescribed by her medical team consists of a combination of chemotherapy and surgery. The surgery necessitated removal of a significant portion of her right femur and the surrounding tissue. During the 8 hour operation, surgeons also performed reconstructive leg surgery using a prosthetic implant to replace the portion of her femur that was removed. Over the course of one year and after several setbacks, including permanent hearing loss as a result of the chemotherapy, Sally completed the initial treatment.
Although she had missed a full 9 months of school, Sally remained determined to stay at the same grade level as her friends – and she did through hard work and determination.
With the active phase of her treatment completed, Sally entered a monitoring period with periodic imaging and tests to look for recurrence or metastasis. It was a great blessing to have her return to school full time and seemingly turn the page on that difficult chapter of her life. However, this was not to be. In January, 2013, approximately 20 months without evidence of disease, a CT scan revealed two nodules in her right lung, presumed to be a metastatic recurrence of the osetosarcoma.
The Recurrence
Due to lack of research in this area, there is no proven treatment plan for cases of recurring osteosarcoma. The only know effective treatment is surgery to remove the tumors. Any other treatment she receives (such as chemotherapy) is experimental and or based on anecdotal evidence from doctors experienced in treating the disease.
Together with the advice of her doctors, we decided on a plan to use two cycles of chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide / etoposide – each cycle being 5 days of chemo infusion and 14-20 days to allow for her body to recover) followed by surgery to remove the tumors and a margin of non-diseased lung tissue surrounding the tumors. The hope was that some chemotherapy would be beneficial and may further eliminate any micro-metastases not visible by imaging machines.
The Surgery
One week prior to her surgery, the doctors ordered another CT scan of her lungs. The news was not good. In addition to the two lesions on her right lung, a new lesion appeared on her left lung.
With few options, the surgery on her right lung went forward as scheduled. Because the surgery involves collapsing her lung, removing the tumors and palpating (feeling) the lung for other lumps, the invasive nature of the procedure and the extremely difficult (and painful) recovery period made any thought of a surgery on both lungs unreasonably risky. On April 5, 2013, Sally underwent surgery on her right lung.
From the surgeon's perspective, the procedure went well. He was able to remove the two known tumors and preserve approximately 95% of her lung tissue. Further, he did not feel any other lumps in his examination of the remaining tissue of her lung. The only unfortunate event of the surgery was that one of Sally's ribs was broken during the procedure, which is not uncommon but nonetheless painful. She spent the next 24 very difficult hours in the intensive care unit of Children's Hospital at which time she transferred to 6 North, the ward with which we are most familiar with.
Sally impressed all the nurses and doctors with the sped at which she recovered over the next few days. Five days after surgery, she was permitted to leave the hospital and continue her recovery at home. She weaned off of the oxycodone within one week while at home and continues to recover well.
The tumor tissue that was removed was analyzed under a microscope. The report revealed two things: that the tumor was indeed osteosarcoma and that the two cycles of chemotherapy treatments had little or no affect in killing cancer cells. Given this information, further I.V. chemotherapy treatments using cyclophosphamide and etoposide are not justified.
As soon as she was well enough, Sally returned to school. We realize that this will only be for a short period until her next surgery date but a few days at school can prove to be more therapeutic than any medicine the doctor can prescribe.
We have utilized the 6 weeks between surgeries to research novel and experimental treatments, also known as clinical trials. By definition, clinical trials are unproven but with few options available, we are giving consideration to several of these studies.
Surgery #2
On May 17th, Sally will undergo the exact same procedure for her left lung as she did for her right lung, something that is absolutely necessary but also very much dreaded. We hope and pray that the only tumor the surgeon finds is the one shown on the last CT scan and that there is no further progression of the disease.
Sally is a source of great pride and inspiration for her family and friends. She has faced this daunting childhood disease with incredible composure and grace. We are thankful to all those who have supported her throughout this ordeal and continue to support her through the "Rally for Sally", cards, gifts, thoughts and prayers.

The Misconception: You make rational decisions based on the future value of objects, investments and experiences.
The Truth: Your decisions are tainted by the emotional investments you accumulate, and the more you invest in something the harder it becomes to abandon it.
You can learn a lot about dealing with loss from a video game called Farmville.
You have probably heard of this game. In 2010, one in five Facebook users had a Farmville account. The barrage of updates generated by the game annoyed other users so much it forced the social network to change how users sent messages. At its peak, 84 million people played it, a number greater than the population of Italy.
Farmville has shrunk since then. About 50 million people were still playing in early 2011 – still impressive considering the fantasy megagame World of Warcraft boasts about a quarter as many players.
So, it must be really, really fun. A game with this many players must promise potent, unadulterated joy, right? Actually, the lasting appeal of Farmville has little to do with fun. To understand why people commit to this game and what it can teach you about the addictive nature of investment, you must first understand how your fear of loss leads to the sunk cost fallacy.

If you look at the first photo you will see that our sliding door from our house is not too far from the pool. All of our cats are strictly indoors, but some of them want to explore outside. To get out, many times they will dart out of the door in almost a blind run and nearly end up in the pool. Many pets will "panic swim" if they end up in the pool. This is where they flap their feet basically trying to walk on the water rather than swim through it. Often times they get worn out and drown.
I've got six cats and Sassy is the only one that will dart out of the door and is the only one I feel needs swimming lessons. She also happens to be a very adventurous kitty who I was sure wouldn't have problems once she got use to the water.
Based on some comments I will add a couple pieces of information here.
1. The pool has a solar heater and was around 90 degrees F.
2. The chlorine levels in the pool are maintained to just above drinking water.
3. Sassy had been around the pool for many months prior to this and so wasn't really afraid of it anymore.
4. I changed to title to better reflect what is actually happening. I'm not teaching the cat to swim, but simply giving her a safe and calm environment to develop what should come naturally to her.

Two times we have had cats get out and go in to the neighbors yard and both times they were attacked by their dog and hurt, one of them very seriously. There's nothing sadder than a dead cat because people are irresponsible.
When I say that Sassy is "very adventurous", I meant it. She's also one tough cookie.
Last week I went to do our bi-monthly nail trimming on the cats and discovered Sassy had pulled off a claw and the tip of one of her toes. Basically she "declawed" a toe. We didn't find any blood in the house, so we are assuming it happened a few days prior when she had gotten out for a few hours and that by the time she got home the blood had clotted and the toe stopped bleeding.
She showed no signs of being injured and is running and jumping as if nothing had happened. She's on antibiotics now, but no long term exposure to water until the wound heals over.
As I have said in a few other comments, if Sassy ever had ended up in the pool by accident, she probably would have gotten out on her own. But she is such a brave and adventurous cat that I thought she'd be up to swimming. I will try to get her to get ner the water on her own this summer.
You can't teach a cat to swim, cause they already know, like all animals, even elephants.
If a cat or dog get drowned is only because they dint reach the border or the ladder.
So, if you providea WAY OUT it will be just enough, and it WONT drown (panic or not).
Personally i don't think it's necessary to bathe a cat neither, only in several cases of fleas.
They do a nice job keeping themselves clean. (My vet supports this also).
I've never heard of a drowned cat, I mean NEVER. Have you? in that case did the cat had a way out?
I'm sorry I don't consider adequate the comparison with your step mom or any human.
This is what this all the controversy of this instructable is about; People humanize pets. They should be treated with all love and respect. But they are not humans. There isn't such thing as a good or bad cat/dog. It's instinct.
We also keep the pool filled to just a few inches below the lip so it is easier and more likely for any animal to get out.
As for never hearing of a cat drowning in a pool, most people would probably never report this to anyone that would make the incident public.
But there is no harm in doing this and it's only result is I now KNOW my cat can swim.
Our current cat (who is now over 17 yrs old) would have taken my arm off if i had gone anywhere near a pool with him, yet he does not mind walking in the rain and getting wet (so long as it is his decision..) as much as most. One of my old cats would not have minded at all - didn't mind being washed - was even happy travelling in a car, and was totally trusting. Another was so neurotic he was scared of his own shadow, would scream the house down if he had to travel, trying to teach him to swim would have resulted in a complete mental meltdown.
In the end it is the responsibility of the owner to decide whether this instructable is applicable - or worthwhile - for their individual pet. Only the owner (or custodian as we prefer to call it) of the cat knows their own animals traits and thresholds, and can weigh up the benefits of this type of 'training'. Personally, i would not even consider it for our current cat, though if we had a younger pet and percieved a potential pussy in pool problem perhaps..
I got Sassy when she was only about 6 weeks old. I knew from the very beginning that she was going to be one cool kitty, and she is.
I'd love to be able to get our cats to the point of really loving swimming, like so many dogs do. Tigers and some other large cats naturally swim, see http://www.wimp.com/tigerspark .
You have some lucky cats, nice job!
If you have a WalMart or Target near you, get a plastic kids pool, this way the kitty claws won't be able to puncture it.
I don't have a bathtub, but I think I have a plastic tub somewhere here that my little cousin used before. Thanks!
I came across these instructions as I'm looking for information about cats and their swimming habits and instincts, I will soon be moving aboard a narrowboat (a canal boat, very common here in the UK), it will be a huge transition for my cat who is 2 years old and has lived always indoors, more than the swimming it worries me that she won't find a way out of the water, let's see how it goes!
Look in http://www.gamma2.net/skamper-ramp.htm and see if it is something you could use where you will be living. You may also want to see about building a floating dock that basically just floats on top of the water and surround your boat with it. The cat will likely swim towards the boat if it fall in to the water. PM my in private, I have some ideas that would make it easy for you cat to get out of the water.
Water training cats isn't as crazy as it might first seem. My last cat (Bill Clinton III) was very nearly 18 years old when he died. He needed occasional baths when he was unwell and not grooming himself properly. Getting him used to water earlier would've been better. He definitely minded the hotter water a lot less than cooler or tepid water!
Yes, an emergency cat-ladder is highly recommended, even in empty pools esp. if you are going away, unless you have good stairs all the way from the bottom to the top that an injured animal could climb.
I have another cat that is leash trained. His motivation was the ability to go outside and meet people. He loved going in to the kiddy area at a nearby park. it was enclosed with a 3ft fence, so I could let him off-leash and he'd just hang out and play with the kids.
First, you claimed your source was the RSPCS, and then posted a link to a random pet site. This is not any sort of proof.
Second, again, there is nothing to indicate, contrary to your implication, that the writer is a vet.
Third, even if the writer were a vet, this does not validate their point. This is a little logical fallacy known as an Appeal to Authority.
Fourth, the items discussed have nothing to do with veterinary care, and are, instead simply speculations on evolutionary biology, an exercise fraught with danger, and conclusions based on these suppositions even the evolutionary biologists take with a grain of salt.
Fifth, doctors, and vets as well, are notoriously TERRIBLE scientists, and this is a perfect case in point. Notice that not a single corroborating fact was submitted to support the hypothesis.
Finally, a LOT of the statements in that piece are demonstrably false, thus calling into question ANY conclusion based thereon.
And for the record, most of the statements made by that author to support their point about cats and water could just as easily apply to dogs, tigers, otters, and seals, most of which have great affinity for water.
And for the record, most of the statements made by that author to support their point about cats and water could just as easily apply to dogs, tigers, otters, and seals, most of which have great affinity for water.
this is not very logical, Since the author wrote this instructable aimed SPECIFICALLY at CATS, which are well known to live in hatred of water and swimming,
by the way, Tigers are actually quite good swimmers, as you would know if you ever watched any Cat Week programs,
may i also point out, that while i trained as a vet, i never actually pursued a career as a vet, but it always amazes me how people seem to want to say how bad the pro's are at what they do, they dont become pro's for nothing,
nevertheless, my point was not exactly based on science in the first place, my concern was for the MENTAL health of the cat, knowing how so many people do not take these things responsibly, i am concerned that some people would not take as much care as the author of this instructable, and would ultimately condemn cats to a watery grave through shock, how woould we all feel then?
i do wonder what would happen if i linked to this page on PETA's website?
1) The "A" key is right next to the "S" key; if you can't figure out a simple typo, especially on a site whose forum software does not allow editing, that is on you, not me.
2) No, at NO point did you "quote" the RSPCA. The word "quote" has a very specific meaning, namely to repeat VERBATIM. It does NOT mean to take words of your own and assign them to another, even if you think that source would agree with what you write. This is not only dishonest, it is highly unethical. Again, you DID NOT quote the RSPCA (or anyone else for that matter).
3) The link you posted was NOT from the RSPCA, but was posted as a response to a call for a citation for your supposed quote from same. Instead, you posted a link to what was indeed a random site (as it had nothing to do with the aforementioned RSPCA) and tried to pass it off as if it were from your purported authority.
4) My statements about other mammals are COMPLETELY logical, whether it is within your capabilities to see it or not. But to spell it out, you make a number of statements you claim serve as either proof or explanation for why immersion in water is bad for cats. However EVERY one of these statements can be made for the other mammals I mentioned, dogs, tigers, otters, and seals, among others, for whom no claim of water aversion is being made, and about whom such claims would be patently foolish. As such, ALL your statements are thus invalidated.
Or are you claiming that tigers, unlike domesticated house cats, do not have essential oils on their fur, or that these oils have some magical property that allows them to not be removed by water? Or that they are somehow able to thermoregulate in a way that domestic cats can not (even though tigers are comfortable in winter habitats).
5) I am not saying vets are bad at being vets, I am saying that vets, and doctors as well, are NOT scientists, many are particularly BAD at science, and yet want to masquerade to the general public as if they were. They are not.
That said, however, your claimed training as a vet is telling.
FTR, NONE of the arguments you made have ANYTHING to do with being a vet, nor are vets better equipped to make them. Your arguments are about biology, and specifically feline biology, and even more specifically, feline evolutionary biology. Sorry, but veterinary training in this field is all but nonexistent.
Not that it matters, as making this argument, as I have already pointed out to you, is a logical fallacy, known as an "Appeal to Authority", and is logically invalid. (That you continue to make it calls into question your ability to criticize the logic of others, as you did in your previous post.) As such, I will also refrain from pointing out that I AM trained in the biological sciences, as that too, would be an invalid argument.
As to the rest of your argument, first, I suspect that the number of cats who would potentially die of shock as a result of this treatment would essentially be zero. Animals that die of shock from falling into pools do so as a result of a trauma they are unable to escape. As no one is calling for anyone to throw a cat in a pool and walk away, this line of reasoning is, again, unsupported by the evidence. Second, I suspect the author would respond that having the cat in the water in a supportive environment is much less likely to lead to life-threatening shock than if it fell in the pool in the middle of the night, with no one there to help it out.
If animals died in that circumstance, when they might have been saved by being familiarized with water, how would YOU feel then?
Third, who cares what PETA has to say? While they might decide to chime in on this particular thread, I doubt they would have much to say about the site in general. In any event, they would be just as wrong as you, and I would make the same comments to them, if they attempted to get away with the same disreputable tactics.
rsmaudsley, I love your instructable! Not for all cats but I have one who is not affraid of anything and likes water so I will try it. Not for my other guys though... they would probably rip my face off! :)
