25 Signs Your Cat Is Actually In Pain, According To Science
If your cat is acting up, it's probably trying to tell you something.
All cat owners know that cats only have three modes: 1) doesn't care you exist, 2) purring cat cuddle time and 3) devil incarnate.
But animal experts know that the royal fur balls put up a really good poker face and, contrary to their apparent apathy toward life, our feline friends actually do feel pain. They just don't show it.
In an attempt to crack the mystery that is the household cat, two researchers from the University of Lincoln consulted with 19 veterinary scientists from around the world to figure out the subtle ways cats tell us they're hurting.
Their results were recently published in the scientific journal PLOS One, bringing all of humanity one step closer to finally understanding these totally lovable fur friends.
The researchers uncovered two signs that are "sufficient" for assessing a cat's pain, meaning their presence alone indicates that the cat is in pain.
For example, if you've noticed that Mr. Bigglesworth has stopped grooming himself -- an activity that typically occupies about half of an adult cat's day -- that could mean he's experiencing at least low levels of pain.
"Cats are notorious for not showing that they are in pain," Caroline Fawcett, chairman of Feline Friends, an organization that supported the research, said in a university press release. "And the more we can find out what the signals are, then the sooner we can get them to the vets for diagnosis and treatment."
So when your cat starts acting a little funny, don't brush it off as a weird quirk.

2. Lameness
3. Difficulty jumping

CHRIST is the HEAD, DE UNSEEN GUEST at every meal, DE SILENT LISTENER to every conversation.The down fall of a man is not the end of his life, God has given us the
desire to know the future but never gives us the satisfaction of fully
understanding of what he does, it too deep, to hard to diseaser what life mean; the unexpected always
happen bad luck happen to every one, because we re trapped at some evil
moment when we least expect it.
CAN YOU SEE THAT PICTURE?
That’s Me.
I am Christopher pantaleon (aka)
chrizpantaleon D’silent.
And here is my story.
Have you ever feel confused and not
confused?
I’m a boy from the continent of the
gun, the east in Nigeria.
Since I was born, to make choices, I have
always admired great thinkers and successful people.
I asked myself, what can it take to
be successful?
People say “it take a lot of hard
work to be successful, some say it takes only the grace to become a successful.
I came across a statement made by
bill gate a long time ago “I am a success today because I read a lot and I think
a lot”. I ponder how true this could be when I spend twenty hours of my time
thinking and only four hours to have a rest.
How true is that when most of my
ideas can’t get me to where I want to be? How true is that when most people who
work harder than I have not even gotten there yet.
My friend told me not to have worries
over myself on what I’m going through today, that they are there already even
before I ever exist.
Let the future take care of itself,
it will be what it is said to be. That life is like a game, you win, you loss.
When you trough a dice, u can’t
predict what it would become of the digits, but you hope it becomes good, that
how life works.
Now, will you say people made it out
of luck or grace?
I’m confused even confused because the great minds said “yesterday was
the past, today is the present, tomorrow is the future, our today activities
determine our tomorrows future”.
How possibly true could this be? Could
it be we make our own tomorrow? If we do, what then happens to destiny is
destiny a farer tales?
I’m confused. I feel I have lots of knowledge,
wisdom in me already, yet I feel empty.
My father ones told me that life is
about principles and experiences, that I have to discipline myself through the
principles I have made to myself to become a success. He told me that he has
much experience of life, that son, “experience is the best teacher in life to
success”.
I ponder over this, could this be
true? What if I don’t survive the experience I might encounter, what if it cost
my life?
I’m confused, should I learn from
people experience and mistakes? If I do, what if it hinders me from becoming
whom am to be. Because the same mistake you did that brought you distortion,
might bring me victory.
Funny? Yes, life is like a double edge sword. We cannot
predict, we can only hope, hope for a better tomorrow.
Now, what do you think when I say being successful lies in LUCK and
GRACE?
Because most things you have done
today and fail, some has done it and succeed.
Do you believe me now when I say
success lies in grace and luck? But my questions is,
How will my luck and grace measured?
Will I ever be lucky to make an indelible
foot print on this earth when am gone?
Will the grace be with me as my name
implies “pantaleon(grace)?
Can our names manifest in our destiny? Can it give us hope?
I continue
Let’s be honest… there’s only so much you can do (and so many products you can buy) to get your hair looking and feeling healthy.
Former Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson suggests that maaaybe we’re going about it the wrong way. “If you’re not eating nutrient rich foods, your hair will not look its best.”
Sounds pretty accurate to us. Shawn compiled a list of her top ten foods for hair that both looks and feels healthy. Here’s what she had to say:
1. Oysters.
I know a lot of people who don’t really like the texture of oysters, but these slimy little guys are low in fat, calories and cholesterol in addition to being high in iron, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C, zinc and calcium.
2. Spinach.
We all know spinach is a great source of fiber and iron, but you might not know it’s also full of vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, potassium, protein, calcium…the list goes on and on.
3. Eggs.
You don’t want to have eggs every day because they are really high in cholesterol but there is nothing wrong with having one from time to time.
4. Wild Salmon.
This is my go-to when I’m craving a good healthy meal. It’s surprisingly easy to cook and full of omega-3 fatty acids.
5. Sweet Potatoes.
I love sweet potatoes! What’s not to love? They are super yummy, and full of nutrients like fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin B6 just to name a few.
6. Lentils.
If you need a reason to eat more lentils…I’ll give you three!
1) They are super versatile and can be paired with meat, fish or veggies.
2) Lentils are easy to cook and even easier to season.
3) And… they are full of protein!

7. Greek Yogurt.
When I think of greek yogurt I think of breakfast, but it’s also great to snack on during the day… throw some fruit on top and you’re good to go!
8. Tomatoes.
Who doesn’t like tomatoes? It’s one of the few fruits that work perfectly in savory dishes. I love adding tomatoes to a whole wheat pasta dish or just slicing one up and putting it into a salad.
9. Blueberries.
Berries are some of the healthiest fruits you can eat, and blueberries are packed full of nutritional goodness!
10. Walnuts.
Snacking on walnuts may not sound as sexy as a bag of chips, or even cookies but trust me your hair will thank you.

New snooping laws will hand sweeping powers to EVERY police force to hack into phones and check web browser histories
- Revised spying laws laid in Parliament today after fierce criticism of draft
- Three separate committees made almost 130 proposals for changes
- Encryption u-turn follows claim it would undermine banking and shopping
- The PM warned against leaving terrorists and jihadis a safe space online.
- New spying laws creating sweeping powers for the police to access anyone's web browser history and break into their phones have been handed to MPs.A new draft of proposed laws was presented to Parliament this afternoon after three inquiries made scores of recommendations for changes and one blasted the original as rushed and flawed.Among the changes in the re-written bill are expanded powers to break into phones and computers if there is a 'threat to life' and enhanced rules on allowing police and security service access to parts of web browser histories.The new bill does include concessions on encryption of messages and the powers to make companies such as Apple and Google decode messages will only apply 'where practicable'.Home Secretary Theresa May, pictured in Downing Street today, will not press ahead with new laws which could have required tech firms to open up encryption to the police and security servicesHome Secretary Theresa May is understood to want the backing of MPs for the proposed new laws by the summer. The Home Office today said the legislation had to become law this year because existing laws will expire.Mrs May said: 'Terrorists and criminals are operating online and we need to ensure the police and security services can keep pace with the modern world and continue to protect the British public from the many serious threats we face.'Under the changes revealed today:
- Police will be given access to web browsing records in specific crime investigations. In the first draft this was limited to illegal websites and communications services. The data will include websites visited but not pages viewed.
- So-called 'internet connection records', which is another form of browsing data, will also be accessible by security services. It shows which website a device connected to but not the details of each page on that site.
- Where the authorities declare there is a 'threat to life', the ability of the security services and police to carry out remote hacking is expanded.
- The draft bill will require internet companies to store details of a person's every internet visit, text message and phone call for up to 12 months.
Privacy campaigners have been deeply critical of the legislation and the row comes as US courts wrestle with whether Apple can be ordered to unlock the iPhone of a terrorist who killed 14 people at a shooting in California last year.The new laws are meant to clarify legislation and make clear what powers the security services have in the wake of scandals triggered.

Idaho senator sparks outrage for saying rape victims CAN'T get pregnant 'because of the trauma of the incident'
- Rep Pete Nielsen (R) told Idaho committee rape victims can't conceive
- He said consent is a necessary biological factor in getting pregnant
- After he spoke on Thursday, the Senate made it compulsory for abortion providers to tell women where they can get a free ultrasound
- Evidence shows 90 per cent of women choose life once they see their unborn child on an ultrasound A lawmaker in Idaho has come under fire for suggesting rape does not lead to pregnancy because it is too traumatic.In a bizarre statement during a debate about abortion on Thursday, Rep Pete Nielsen (R) suggested consent is a biological factor in a woman's ability to conceive.His words came shortly before Republicans passed a bill to make it compulsory for abortion providers to tell all women where they can get a free ultrasound.Pro-choice activists argue the rule is a way to emotionally manipulate women into keeping a baby, and opponents of the bill cite rape and incest victims as examples of a right to an abortion.Rep Nielsen, however, dismissed this argument, saying that victims of rape cannot get pregnant.Rep Pete Nielsen (pictured) suggested consent is a biological factor in a woman's ability to conceive'Now, I'm of the understanding that in many cases of rape, it does not involve any pregnancy because of the trauma of the incident,' Nielsen said, adding: 'That may be true with incest a little bit.'When he was later challenged on the comment and its lack of scientific basis, Rep Nielsen said he stood by it.'That's information that I've had through the years. Whether it's totally accurate or not, I don't know,' the Spokesman Review reported.'I read a lot of information. I have read it several times.'Being a father of five girls, I've explored this a lot.'

Eagle does not fight the snake on the ground. It picks it up into the
sky and changes the battle ground, and then it releases the snake into
the sky.
The snake has no stamina, no power and no balance in the air. It is useless, weak and vulnerable unlike on the ground where it is powerful wise and deadly.
Take your fight into the spiritual realm by praying and when you are in the spiritual realm God takes over your battles.
Don't fight the enemy in his comfort zone, change the battle grounds like the Eagle and let God take charge through your earnest prayer. You'll be assured of clean victory.
Pray without ceasing.
