Persian Cats

A fabulous breed of cats famous for their long, silky coat, these gentle creatures love to relax and are always on a lookout for soft surfaces to plop down. Although they are intelligent and playful, they lack curiosity that other cats possess. Persians are not the sort of cat that will nag for your attention. Talk about being the real divas. They enjoy being cuddled by humans, and also fine with spending time of their own. They need a considerable amount of care to groom their hair. If you need a sweet and serene pet in your apartments, a Persian cat will be a perfect companion. They are the lazy kind of cats who are not much interested in creating a ruckus, making them ideal for apartments.

Golden Retrevier

Retrievers are one of the favourite dogs in the world for their kind eyes, loyalty, and enthusiasm for life. They were earlier used as hunting dogs but make for an ideal part of your family. These intelligent dogs with a thick undercoat and a water-repellent outer coat will get well with the hygienic up-keeping of your home, but be prepared to live with plenty of dog hair (I’m sure their cuddles will make up for it). These dogs are friendly with kids and are perfect as a guide and assistance for elderly persons. It is ideal to take these dog for daily exercise and thorough training. They should be brushed daily, washed monthly and nails trimmed once or twice a month to avoid split-hairs and foot problems.

Yellow Tang Fish

One of the most popular saltwater aquarium fish, with attractive bright yellow scales, is easy to find and relatively inexpensive. It is interesting to watch them graze on algae in large saltwater aquariums. If you own a yellow tang, you should be aware that it can be aggressive with other yellow tang and surgeonfish if they are not introduced into the aquarium at the same time. It will go well with any other fishes in your aquarium but requires special care to prevent a disease called “ich”, that it is most prone to. Yellow Tang needs a tank with a minimum size of 55 gallons and should be fed with dried and frozen herbivore food.
