Litterbox Issues
Cats are very clean animals that love habit, so when your furry little friend starts going to the bathroom in places other than the litterbox you can rest assured that something isn’t right. This problem could range from a serious health problem such as a kidney infection, gastritis, or cancer to a simple behavioral problem that can be fairly easily corrected. If your cat has a litterbox problem (especially if he/she is also exhibiting signs of illness) you should first consult your vet to rule out any sort of medical reason behind the problem. If your cat is given a clean bill of health and is still having ‘accidents’ then you can probably be safe in listing it as a behavioral problem.

Going for Gold
Think your pup has what it takes to brave the Sochi climate and bring back the gold at the Winter Games? Here are our favorite picks for breeds that could dominate the 2014 Winter Olympics, along with the sport we’d like to see them participate in.
1. Norwegian Lundehund
With unique features like six toes on each foot and the ability to tip their head backward until it touches their backbone, the Norwegian Lundehund has the perfect blend of flexibility and agility for figure skating. Layback spins and salchows notwithstanding, the Lundehund’s small build and even disposition makes them a perfect companion for skating enthusiasts and domestic households alike. An arctic breed originally used to hunt Puffin birds, the Lundehund makes a loyal, playful companion, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC). Image: via Shutterstock
2. Alaskan Malamute
Originally used by Inuit tribes to pull sleds, the Alaskan Malamute is a large, robust breed bred for it’s strength and perfect for the Nordic combined — an Olympic sport in which athletes compete in both cross-country skiing and ski jumping. Their durability, strength and speed allow them to perform tasks that would normally require several smaller dogs and would serve them well in a dual sport capacity. With an energetic, friendly and patient personality, Alaskan Malamutes get along with children and would do best with an active family. Learn more about Alaskan Malamutes . Image: via Shutterstock
