Handcrafted in glass envelopes, these tilt sensors are vacuum formed and hermetically sealed. The CG series electrolytic tilt sensor performs excellently in the high vibration environments for which they are designed, while the RG series is ideal for static applications and has sub-arc resolution.
Both the CG and RG series single axis electrolytic tilt sensors are supplied in rugged and sealed aluminium housings to facilitate mounting and alignment, and to provide protection during transport and handling. Furthermore, the supplied Teflon insulated lead wires enable signal connection to the Spectron MUPI-2 signal conditioner module.
The RG series tilt sensors are available in ranges from ±0.25° to ±10°, and the CG series are available in two ranges; ±4° and ±12°. Null repeatability is from 0.0008° for the ±0.25° range sensor, to 0.002° for the ±12° sensor.
Resolution is expressed in arc/seconds, and the output signals are from 6mV/arc/second for the most sensitive tilt sensor, to 0.5V/degree for the highest range sensor.
The Spectron MUPI-2 Universal signal conditioner provides the necessary excitation voltage for one tilt sensor at nominally 1kHz for both the RG and CG series. The output signal is ±7Vdc with ±10.0Vdc supply (±16Vdc is maximum input). User adjustment of zero offset, gain and symmetry is standard.
The MUPI-2 is fully ecapsulated for robustness and integrity, and electrical temination is via bifurcated/solder terminals.
Typical applications for these tilt sensors include:
- construction laser levelling
- marine and aeronautical navigational aids
- geophysical survey equipment
- platform stability monitoring
- off-road vehicles; and
- military equipment and transport.

The Farmers Markets was full of fresh carrots, loose skinned mandarins with bright green leaves attached, and buckets of bright yellow butter beans. Lunch of papusa, sitting out in the sun with the bright blue sky above. Vapour trails all fuzzy - like when elastic unravels. Followed by coffee in town, and then a drive across the lake. Blood orange and passionfruit gelati in the sun, watching the day go by, and then a stroll around the gallery to marvel at the Rothko, look within the Cornell boxes and debate the merits of Warhol (or lack of depending on your opinion).
The day ends at home in front of the heater, dog at my side. French champagne in my glass and Pavement playing on my sound system. Things are okay in the yellow house.

The clue is somewhat in the name with Monty Don: he is the don of the gardening world. And so, when he revealed he's switching up his greenhouse ideas this winter in a controversial move, we were naturally all ears.
Now, we Brits have long been fond of a heated greenhouse. In fact, the first 'stove' (heated) greenhouse in the UK popped up at the Chelsea Physic Garden in 1681, and we've never really looked back.
Monty Don, however, has recently changed his opinion on this centuries-old garden trend...
Why Monty Don is ditching his heated greenhouse
In a new interview with The Guardian, Monty Don explained that this is the first winter he is not going to heat his greenhouse to protect his banana plants and cannas.
'I can't justify heating a greenhouse for plants that won't naturally survive,' he said simply. 'If they die, they die.'
Monty Don, who has spoken a great deal about the ways in which climate change is altering the seasons, went on to share his opinion that 'British gardens are based upon a colonial past'.
'We took plants from all over the world and brought them in as trophies, but they never adapted to our climate,' he added.

'[So], instead of seeing them as trophies, I think increasingly we've got to say: "This is an anomaly."'
It's an interesting perspective for a professional horticulturalist to take, but there's no denying that Monty Don's (ironically) hot take on the heated greenhouse is rooted in sense and sound logic.
'If you are passionate about growing hothouse flowers and tropical plants, then don't feel you have to ditch your greenhouse heater,' advises Christopher O'Donoghue, one of the co-directors at Gardens Revived.
'If you're looking for a way to save money on your energy bills, however, it's a great idea to follow in Monty Don's footsteps – especially as it will help you a better grasp on the UK's shifting seasons. It's certainly something for us all to aspire to!'
A gardener with over a decade of experience under his belt, Christopher set up Gardens Revived with his brother, Andrew, in 2018 to create a thriving family business. Together, they have worked on residential gardens, listed buildings and gardens, flower shows and large estates with some exceeding 70 acres – many with historical significance.
Of course, switching off your greenhouse heater doesn't render it useless: an unheated greenhouse can still be used for overwintering tender perennials and less hardy plants from the chilly climes of your garden.
Those who are fond of the Nordic koselig trend, too, will be pleased to know that you can absolutely incorporate an unheated greenhouse into all of your favourite cosy garden ideas – if only to give you a sheltered spot for a cuppa between gardening jobs!
And, if you still want to tackle those plants that love a warmer environment (anyone who's been reading up on how to grow chillis will know what we're talking about!), Christopher reminds us that a sunny windowsill can be used to much the same effect.
With that in mind, then, maybe Monty Don's advice isn't quite as controversial as traditional gardeners clutching their metaphorical pearls might have you believe... especially if you invest in some heavyweight garden fleece from Amazon.
If you'll need us, we'll be ripping the thermostat out of our greenhouse...

I’ve got to talk about something that’s going to make us all itchy, but with spring on the horizon, it’s a must.
The one good thing about cold weather is it usually helps reduce the flea and tick population, but with longer evenings and warmer days in our future, the little bloodsuckers are going to come back.
Fleas and ticks can be a problem for all of us, not just our pets, because they’re not terribly selective about where they get their meals. We’re just as yummy a treat as our dogs and cats are to a flea or a tick.
And an infestation can be incredibly bad. We actually had a poor Boston terrier come into the shelter – years ago – who was so infested with fleas, he actually passed away in the kennels overnight, despite being treated immediately when he arrived.
So, truly, fleas can be deadly.
We’ve also seen a rather dramatic increase in Lyme disease in our area, an illness that is brought to us from the tick. Our pets can get it and so can we. I’ve actually talked to more than one person suffering with Lyme disease and as I understand, it’s quite painful.
Being prepared for these parasites is the best way to keep ourselves and our pets safe.
There are a number of products on the market that will help keep fleas and ticks off your pet. Talk to your vet about which one would be best for you. The topical solutions, like Frontline and Advantage, put between the shoulder blades seem to work incredibly well.
I have also heard some folks have found success with natural flea and tick repellants, such as tea tree and lemon oil. Research the natural flea and tick repellants — you might be surprised what you find.
A word of caution, however, for felines. Cats can be very sensitive to some oils, in fact some citrus oils can be toxic to cats. To be safe, check with your vet to see what he or she would recommend for natural repellants.
When spring does arrive, we’ll likely be out and about more, so keeping a close eye on our pets is the best way to watch for these bloodsuckers.
I remember when I was a kid, we’d have nightly tick checks (I was a country girl). We used to run through all kinds of fields and woods around our house, so the chance was pretty good that a tick would have found its way to us.
Getting into the habit of checking our pets is probably a good idea. The best way to check for ticks is to use your fingertips to comb through the hair of your dog or cat. Begin at the head and work your way down to the tail.
If you find a tick that’s already bitten in, don’t fear. You can remove it with tweezers, just be certain to remove the entire tick – head and all. Ticks have an annoying tendency to break off when you pull, leaving the tiny – still very much alive – head. The head of a tick can continue to burrow into the skin despite the fact that its body has already been destroyed.
Make sure you get the whole critter, or the problem won’t really be gone.
Itchy yet? Hold onto something, now we’re gonna talk fleas.
To check for fleas, a flea comb can be a pet owner’s dream. These nifty devices show you whether your animal suffers from the itchy affliction. To use the comb, simply sweep it through your pet’s hair from the middle of the back to the base of the tail – be sure to get down into the skin, so the comb can work its magic. Fleas get caught in the teeth of the comb and are pulled out of the hair.
Remember, although they are small, fleas are elusive, so if you don’t find any on the first try, continue to comb through your pet’s hair.
Another sure sign of a flea infestation is black specks on the teeth of the comb that resemble pepper. These little flakes could be flea dirt. To determine if they are, indeed, flea excrement, tap the comb onto a white paper towel until the dirt falls onto it. Sprinkle a few drops of water onto the towel and if the dirt turns a reddish color, it means fleas have set up residence in your furry friend.
Remember, fleas and ticks can come into the house in a variety of ways. Don’t be fooled into a false sense of security that since your pet stays indoors most of the time he is free from the threat of fleas and ticks. Human beings can be a conduit for transmitting these creatures to our animals by bringing in the parasites on our clothes from the outdoors. Ticks have also been found on clothes left to dry on a clothesline.
Fleas and ticks can be holy terrors for people who live with animals, but with spring just around the bend, we need to know how to find, treat and get rid of the pesky parasites so we can know victory in the battle with the bug.

Bloomberg has quite tastefully summarised our expectations of what Steve Jobs is likely to announce at this year’s WWDC conference on 6th June. We’ve all become so accustomed to hardware revolutions every 12 months that it comes as a massive heartfelt let down that no such hardware announcements are expected this time around. A new iPad was released earlier this year and a new iPhone is not expected to be announced until Winter this year.
So what can we expect this month? A new iCloud service is probably the most intriguing of rumors due to novelty factor whereby Apple will allow storage of music on the cloud as opposed to the local hard drive. It sounds interesting and certainly has the advantage of removing the need for the tedious backup process. However it also increases reliance on the internet which is generally very poorly featured in the UK in both mobile and terrestrial forms and non-existent on the London tubes. Though Apple pushing forward the performance boundaries of telecommunication networks has and can only continue to be a good thing.
However any investment in cloud technology must at this point be innovative and compelling in ways that currently are inconceivable simply due to the sheer abundance of cloud technology that has come to be over the years and the shameless exploitation of cloud terminology strewn across the internet. Microsoft’s blatant billboards and posters about cloud computing in London tube stations certainly didn’t help as it simply wasn’t clear what they were selling. Yes I know your stuff is on the cloud but so is mine. So is everyone and everything out there. It’s called the internet. At this point I’m so overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of cloud news in the last few years that I’m almost not receptive to anything further in this domain.
The next most exciting piece of news is expected to be about the next version of iOS and Mac OS X (codenamed Lion). Given how long we go between software updates from certain vendors examples being Microsoft and Sun – Apple customers are spoilt in this sense. iOS 5 is rumored to have a new widget mechanism and a new notifications feature and documentation on Lion has been available for quite some time now.
It’ll be interesting to see how Apple approaches the threat of increased competition from upcoming Mango and increasing market share acquisition by Android through both its cloud services and iOS upgrades. Regarding the new handset in September my wishlist would be to make the sim card even smaller, incorporate hardware NFC for mobile payments, increase battery life by making the battery even bigger in capacity and through support of 4G place even greater strain on the UK networks. That’s my rant over. Thank you for listening.

The Georgia State Patrol –
A fatal wreck that involved 2 vehicles occurred in Polk County on Thursday at the intersection of Esom Hill Road and Prior Station Road.
According to an investigative report from the Georgia State Patrol, 28-year-old Courtney Winkles of Cedartown was traveling southbound in a 2004 Volkswagen Beetle on Esom Hill Road when she failed to stop at a stop sign and struck the front of a 2011 Buick Enclave CXL. The impact occurred in the westbound lane.
After the impact, Winkle’s vehicle left the south side of the roadway, overturned, and struck a ditch: She was then ejected from the vehicle.
Georgia State Patrol pronounced her dead at the scene.
The investigating GA State Trooper observed a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Courtney Winkles person, and also that the speedometer in her vehicle was stuck at 85 mph.
After being struck, the 2011 Buick Enclave CXL left the south side of the roadway and hit a ditch with its undercarriage. The 2 passengers of the Buick Enclave CXL, both from Rome, sustained serious injuries, and were transported to Floyd Medical Center to be treated.


The Ford 'Highboy' F-250
The term 'Highboy' has been used to refer to 1967-1977.5 Ford F-250's, although 'Highboy' wasn't actually a Ford term.
The term 'Highboy' was more of a nickname that came about when Ford switched to a negative arch leaf spring for the 1977.5 model, making it 4-inches lower than the 1977 model.
For a Ford truck to be considered a 'Highboy', it should meet the following criteria:
- 1967-1977.5 Ford F-250 4x4
- Divorced Transfer Case (Not attached to the transmission)
- A Highboy will have (3) driveshafts
- The front spring pack will have a noticeable arch (1977.5 and later are flat)
- Rear springs are 2-1/4" wide. 1977.5 and later non-Highboy's will have 3-inch wide rear leafs.
Front axle choices in the Highboy were either the 8-lug Dana 44 or the low pinion Dana 60.
Engine choices were either the 6-cylinder or 360 2 bbl V-8. Steering was either manual or power ram assist.
F-150's built during that time are NOT considered a 'Highboy'. The F-250's built from 1977.5 and later are referred to as a 'Lowboy' because they sit lower than the 1977.

Martha Oliver-Smith, author of Martha's Mandala (SD, 2015), a memoir that explores her own grandmother's relationship with C.G. Jung in the 1930s, here reflects on her encounter with J.D. Salinger in the late 60s. Ms. Oliver-Smith includes a portrait of her own profession, teaching, and in particular the attitude engendered by Catcher in the Rye. Both events are filtered through the lens of her interaction with the author of that classic American novel.
Martha Oliver-Smith was born in Peace Dale, Rhode Island in 1946 to a family of writers, artists and scholars. She spent most of her childhood moving between her grandmother’s home in Peace Dale and living with her mother in New York. She moved west with her young family in 1972 to Ashland, Oregon where she completed a BA in English from Southern Oregon University. In 1976, she moved to Reno, Nevada to earn an MA in English literature from the University of Nevada where she began her thirty-six year teaching career. After twenty-five years of teaching college and high school literature and writing courses in Oregon, Nevada and California, Oliver-Smith moved back east to Vermont in 2002 to teach and to research and write Martha’s Mandala. In 2006, she earned an MFA in creative writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts where her thesis provided the basis for the memoir. She lives with her husband, two cats, one dog and six chickens in northern Vermont where she is working on a second memoir.

He blamed policies by a Democratic Congress and President Barack Obama's administration for pushing the number of people receiving food stamps to historic highs. U.S. Department of Agriculture Data show 41.8 million people were on government nutrition assistance programs in July, up from about 32 million when Obama took office.
Wow that is an 10 million increase in people on food stamps in a little less than 2 years? Now you have to say that the stimulus failed if you have to increase assistance by that much. The idea of the party of the paychecks vs. the party of the food stamps sounds like a pretty good idea. You can also add to the fact that there has been a record increase in poverty on Obama's watch as well.

Sand and Sea Suite
I have decided to up me game on blog posts and newsletters. I will begin sharing Stampin’ Up! card designs and tutorials, along with my own creations. I am so excited to start with the Sand and Sea Suite! This has to be my all time favorite suite offering in the 4+ years of being a Demonstrator!!! The options are limitless! And I don’t know about you but I am beyond ready for a vacation away from home 🙂
Today’s post features Stampin’ Up! designs. I can’t wait to try them and put my own spin on them 🙂
Bring on the beach! Even when the seashore is far away, you can make it feel like a beach holiday with the Sand & Sea Suite. Whether you are chasing away winter blues with a beachy card or reliving vacation fun with memory keeping, you’ll love the ultimate coordination of the Sand & Sea Suite.
This suite is unlike any other! The largest die in the coordinating die set can create a card-front-sized focal design or background. It can also be snipped into smaller individual die cuts. All of which coordinate with stamp images. Plus, the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder can emboss the large die cut with incredible detail or it can be used to emboss the smaller coordinating images. This is next-level coordination that you’ve got to try to believe!
If that wasn’t enough, there’s a whole collection of gorgeous Designer Series Paper, sticker sheets, Pearlescent Specialty Paper, and Opal Rounds embellishments that will add luxurious luster to your Sand & Sea projects.
You’ll love letting your creativity set sail with the Sand & Sea Suite!
The card below uses a technique that’s a fun twist on the traditional heat embossing. Enjoy creating this beautiful card stacked with detail and texture. Sign up for my newsletter below and get the full tutorial 🙂
Thanks so much for your time and interest! Until next time…

The medical student was confused. "Well, that's not good."
He was seeing, in black and white, the benefits and harms of statin medicines. After years of systematic inculcation about the power of cholesterol reduction, this was the first time he had seen the numbers.
"I don't get it. I thought cholesterol was the big player in heart attacks."
Not really. Three-quarters of people having a first heart attack, for instance, have normal cholesterol levels.
Indeed. In fact, 50 years ago during the Framingham Heart Study, researchers first suggested that cholesterol may be a weak risk factor for heart disease. This led to a parade of drugs (fibrates, niacin, ezetemibe, etc.) that, despite lowering cholesterol, didn't help people live longer or avoid heart attacks.
"I've never heard that."
It gets worse: When the completed, 30-year data from the study was analyzed, in most age groups high cholesterol wasn't associated with more deaths. In fact, for older people, deaths were more common with low cholesterol.
"Now wait. Statins are supposed to be a 'miracle drug.' Heart disease is declining, right?"
Actually, heart disease deaths started dropping 40 years ago and the rate of that decline is completely unchanged since statins came into widespread use. On a public health scale, statins are a failure.
"This is insane."
It is also insane that medical schools around the country do not teach the failures of the cholesterol model of heart disease. Even for heart patients, a group in whom the benefits of statin drugs are broadly accepted, 80 people have to take the drug for one life to be saved. And just one in 40 will be spared from a heart attack. For these scraps of hopeful benefit, there is a price: the drug will give one in every 50 diabetes. Those are the numbers my student was looking at.
The American Heart Association's new guideline changes things most dramatically, however, for people who derive even less benefits. The guideline seems to expand recommendations for statins in those without known heart disease. For these individuals the chance of contracting diabetes due to the statin is roughly the same as the chance of avoiding a nonfatal heart attack. And while I would prefer to have neither, diabetes is a life-altering chronic condition and a nonfatal heart attack is a few days of temporary discomfort. Worse yet the pills don't save lives, or else they save so few that topic is still hotly debated.
There is another reason to doubt the benefits of statins: The studies were mostly performed by drug companies with a history of gamesmanship and fraud in the reporting of results. The numbers are likely to be the rosiest version of reality (to understate). Of course, the cardiologists on the committee that wrote the guidelines are quite familiar with the drug companies that make statins, since 7 of 15 have financial ties to them.
History will judge the American Heart Association guidelines by their effect. We currently have a statin epidemic with 25 percent of adults over the age of 45 taking the pills, a large majority of whom do not have heart disease and have not seen the numbers. But they are simple, and available. No doctor should be prescribing a statin and no person should be taking one, unless they have seen them. If more people without heart disease take statins it will be a victory of misinformation.
And then I would have to agree with my student: This is insane.

Tim Gadd is one of the founders of alt.lifestyle.furry.
When a friend pointed me to these welcome essays concerning the early years of alt.lifestyle.furry—a time which will always exist as a vibrant and halcyon period in my memory—I asked if I might make a dedication, which the author and publisher kindly allowed.
ALF was an ideal as well as a community: a kind of social experiment which had never been tried on Usenet before. Myself and Ron Orr are usually credited with its conception and creation. We did come up with the idea, and write the charter and FAQ, but not without the consultation of the 'creation committee'; a group of thirteen people in total who, over six months, provided input and review to the process.
Of these people there is no question IMHO that the most crucial was Brad Austin. His judgement was scrupulous, as was his instinctive grasp of the ethics of what we were trying to do. He was the one person whose advice I'd never ignore. Later, if the core values of the newsgroup were ever attacked, Brad was the staunchest of defenders; rigorously intelligent and morally unwavering, no matter how controversial the topic.
Brad died suddenly last year, age 45. I've never had a closer friend, and I miss him like hell. I wish more members of the community had known him personally.
There is someone else I want to mention. Virtually on New Year's Day 1997, ALF hit the backbone Usenet servers and our participation suddenly exploded to many times the trickle of posts of the early months. The first poster I remember on that day was Craig Andersen - KimbaWLion online. Perhaps I'm biased, but to me he instantly became the first core member of the community from outside the original creation group, and I always told him I considered his appearance to be synchronous with and symbolic of the real birth of ALF.
Kimba quickly became my other closest friend, along with Brad and Ron, and his family welcomed me into their home on every visit to their hometown. He too passed away unexpectedly, late in 2012, age 58.
I'm grateful for the chance to leave this tribute on record to two true soul mates without whom things would not have happened like they did. I know there are many of our number who have fallen over the years, and this dedication is for them too, and those they left behind.

The existing control-function-based approaches to the identification of firm-level production functions are exclusively concerned with the estimation of single-output production functions despite that, in practice, most firms produce multiple outputs. While one can always opt to employ a single-product specification of the production process by a priori aggregating the firm's outputs, such a formulation is rarely an accurate portrayal of the firm's productive process. This paper extends the control-function-based approach to the structural identification and estimation of firm-level production functions and productivity to the multi-product setting. Specifically, I consider the nonparametric estimation of multi-product production functions. Among other advantages, explicit modeling of multiple outputs allows the identification of cross-output elasticities representing the technological trade-off between individual outputs along the firm's production possibilities frontier, which a traditional single-output production function approach is unable to deliver. To showcase the methodology, I apply it to study the multi-product production technology of Norwegian dairy farms during the 1998-2008 period.

Welcoming a new American Wirehair Cat into your home can be a wonderful experience. These cats are known for their unique looks and friendly personalities. However, it is important to understand that just like any other animal, they require proper socialization to ensure they have a well-rounded temperament. In this article, we’ll explore the importance of socialization for American Wirehair Cats and provide tips on how to properly socialize them. By following these steps, you can help your American Wirehair Cat build confidence and thrive in any social situation.
What is socialization?
Socialization is the process of familiarizing a cat with different situations, people, environments, and other animals at an early age. This process plays an essential role in shaping a cat’s temperament and behavior. Early socialization can help American Wirehair cats become well-adjusted pets that are confident and outgoing. It is important to understand that cats, like humans, have a critical period of development during which they are most impressionable. During this developmental stage, it is crucial to expose them to different experiences in a positive manner. The critical period for socializing American Wirehair cats is from birth to seven weeks of age. After this period, they become less impressionable and may not respond as well to new stimuli.
Socialization can help prevent behavioral problems in American Wirehair cats that can occur later in life. Cats who have not been adequately socialized may exhibit fear, aggression, anxiety, or excessive shyness. These behaviors can cause problems for both cats and their owners and may lead to abandonment or euthanasia. By familiarizing your American Wirehair cat with different experiences during the critical period, you can help them develop into well-behaved and happy pets.
It is important to note that socialization does not end after the critical period. American Wirehair cats should continue to be exposed to new experiences throughout their lives to maintain their social skills and prevent behavioral problems from developing. But early socialization lays the foundation for a well-behaved and confident cat.
Below is a summary of the importance of socialization in American Wirehair cats:
|Importance of Socialization
|Develops a well-adjusted and outgoing temperament
|Prevents common behavioral problems
|Prevents abandonment or euthanasia
|Continued socialization maintains social skills and prevents behavioral problems
Socialization is a crucial process in shaping the temperament and behavior of American Wirehair cats. By starting early and providing positive experiences, you can help your cat become a well-adjusted and happy pet for years to come.

Why is socialization important?
Socialization is a crucial aspect of raising kittens, as it influences their behavior and temperament for the rest of their lives. By exposing American Wirehair cats to a variety of people, animals, and places at a young age, you can help them to become well-adjusted and confident adult cats with positive attitudes towards new experiences.
Here are some specific reasons why socialization is important:
|Socialized cats are less likely to be fearful or aggressive towards unfamiliar people, animals, or situations. This can help to prevent problem behaviors such as biting, scratching, or hiding when visitors come over, or when new experiences arise throughout their lives.
|Cats that are well-socialized tend to be less stressed and healthier overall. Reducing stress and anxiety in cats can lower their risk of developing a variety of health problems, such as lower urinary tract disease or inflammatory bowel disease.
|Early socialization experiences can help your American Wirehair cat develop their cognitive and social skills. By exposing them to new and varied situations, you can help encourage curiosity and a love of learning, which can benefit their mental development throughout their life.
|Cats that are well-socialized are more likely to be confident and outgoing. This is because they have learned to navigate new situations and environments, and have developed positive associations with people and other animals.
By socializing your American Wirehair cat early and often, you can help them to develop into confident and well-adjusted cats that are better equipped to handle new experiences throughout their life. For more information about the behavior and personality of American Wirehair cats, check out our guide to American Wirehair cat behavior and our article on the personality of American Wirehair cats.
When to Start Socializing Your American Wirehair Cat
Socialization is a process that should begin as early as possible in a cat’s life. American Wirehair cats should be socialized between the ages of 4 to 16 weeks. This is known as the critical socialization period, during which kittens are most receptive to new experiences and are more likely to develop positive associations with new people, animals, and environments. During this period, it is vital to introduce your cat to as many people, animals, and new experiences as possible, in order to shape their temperament in a positive way.
Keep in mind that socialization is not a one-time event, but an ongoing process that should continue throughout your cat’s life. However, the socialization they receive during their critical socialization period can have a lasting impact on their overall temperament and behavior. A well-socialized kitten is more likely to become a confident adult who is comfortable around people and other animals.
If you adopt an American Wirehair cat older than 16 weeks, socialization is still possible, but it may require more time and patience on your part. It is essential to be patient and attempt to create positive experiences for your cat at their own pace. Additionally, it is still essential to continue their socialization throughout their life, even if it is done at a slower pace than a kitten’s socialization.
What to Socialize Your American Wirehair Cat To
Socialization is not just about exposing your American Wirehair cat to different experiences, it’s also about introducing them to the right kind of experiences. By taking the time to introduce your cat to a variety of people, animals, and environments, you can help them become well-adjusted and confident adults. But what exactly should you socialize your cat to? Let’s explore some of the key things to consider.
One of the most important aspects of socializing your American Wirehair cat is introducing them to a variety of people. This includes different ages, genders, and races, as well as people with different energy levels and personalities. The more exposure your cat has to people, the more comfortable they will be in different situations and with new people they may encounter throughout their life.
Children: It is important to introduce your American Wirehair cat to children early on in their socialization process. This can help prevent fear or aggression towards children in the future. When introducing your cat to children, make sure the children are calm and supervised, and teach them how to properly handle and interact with your cat.
Men and Women: Your American Wirehair cat should be socialized to both men and women, as they may have different energy levels and personalities. This can help prevent fear or aggression towards a specific gender. Encourage visitors to interact with your cat in a gentle and positive manner.
Seniors: It is also important to socialize your American Wirehair cat with seniors, as they may have different energy levels and move at a slower pace. This can also help your cat become more comfortable with elderly family members or visitors.
Strangers: Your American Wirehair should also be socialized to strangers to prevent fear or aggression towards new people. Encourage visitors to your home to interact with your cat in a positive way, such as offering treats or gentle pets.
Busy environments: It is important to introduce your American Wirehair cat to busy environments with lots of people, such as a park or a busy street. This can help your cat become more comfortable in these situations and less fearful or aggressive towards large groups of people.
| Types of People | Importance | Tips for Socializing |
| — | — | — |
| Children | Important to prevent fear or aggression towards kids | Supervise interactions and teach children how to handle and interact with cats |
| Men and Women | Important to prevent fear or aggression towards a specific gender | Encourage positive interactions with visitors of both genders |
| Seniors | Important to socialize your cat to elderly family members or visitors | Allow your cat to interact with seniors to become familiar with slower movements and different energy levels |
| Strangers | Important for preventing fear or aggression towards new people | Encourage visitors to your home to interact positively with your cat |
| Busy environments | Important to prevent fear or aggression towards groups of people | Introduce your cat to busy environments gradually and positively |
When it comes to socializing your American Wirehair Cat, it’s essential to introduce them to other animals early on. This helps prevent aggression and fear towards other pets in the household or other animals they may encounter outside. Here are some tips for socializing your cat with other animals:
- Start with a calm animal: Introduce your cat to another calm and friendly animal, such as a well-trained dog. Make sure both animals are comfortable and relaxed.
- Supervise interactions: Make sure to closely monitor interactions between your cat and other animals. Intervene if needed, but also give them space to explore and interact with each other.
- Use positive reinforcement: Reward your cat for positive interactions with treats and praise. This reinforces good behavior and encourages them to continue being friendly towards other animals.
- Gradually introduce them to other animals: As your cat becomes more comfortable around one type of animal, gradually introduce them to other animals such as rabbits or birds. Slowly exposing them to a variety of animals helps prevent fear or aggression towards certain species.
Socializing with other animals may be a bit challenging for American Wirehair Cats who are used to being the only pet in the house. However, with proper socialization and patience, they can learn to get along with other animals and become well-adjusted pets. It’s crucial to start socializing your cat with other pets as early as possible, so they are more likely to develop positive relationships with other animals.
During the socialization process, it’s important to introduce your American Wirehair cat to a variety of different environments. This will help them feel comfortable and at ease in new and potentially stressful situations.
Indoor environments: Start by getting your cat used to different areas in your home. This can include the living room, kitchen, and bedroom. It’s also important to introduce them to common household items such as the vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, and other mechanical items that produce noise.
Outdoor environments: If you plan on letting your cat go outside, it’s important to get them familiar with their potential surroundings. Allow them to explore your backyard or a safe, enclosed area. Start by keeping them on a leash to ensure they don’t run away. This will also help them become more comfortable with the sensation of wearing a leash.
Vehicle environments: For many cats, car rides can be overwhelming and stressful. You can help your cat become more comfortable with car rides by taking them on short trips around the block. Gradually increase the length of these trips to help them get used to the sensation of being in a car.
Public environments: Whether it’s the veterinarian’s office or a pet store, there will be times when your American Wirehair cat will be in unfamiliar public environments. It’s important to expose them to these environments gradually, starting with quiet times of the day and shorter visits. Bring familiar toys and treats to help them feel more at ease.
By gradually introducing your American Wirehair cat to different environments, you’ll help shape their temperament and build their confidence in new situations. Remember to always use positive reinforcement and to be patient throughout the socialization process.
How to Socialize Your American Wirehair Cat
As a pet owner, you play a crucial role in shaping the temperament of your American Wirehair Cat. Socialization at an early age is essential to ensure your furry friend grows up to be a friendly and well-adjusted companion. However, socializing your cat involves more than just exposing them to new people, animals, and environments. You need to approach the process with patience, care, and a good understanding of your pet’s personality. Follow these tips to socialize your American Wirehair Cat effectively.
When it comes to socializing your American Wirehair cat, it’s important to start slow and take baby steps. You don’t want to overwhelm your furry friend and cause them undue stress. To make the process smoother, you can break it down into small manageable steps. Here are some tips to help you start slow:
- Introduce new things gradually: Whether it’s introducing new people or environments, go slowly and let your cat take their time adjusting. Always start by introducing your cat to one new thing at a time.
- Provide a safe environment: Your cat should feel safe and secure during the socialization process. Make sure your home is a comfortable environment for them to explore and learn in without feeling threatened.
- Set up play dates: A great way to socialize your American Wirehair cat is by setting up play dates with other friendly cats or dogs. This can help them learn how to interact with other animals and become more social in general.
- Be consistent: Consistency is key when it comes to socialization. Make sure you’re spending time with your cat daily, even if it’s just for a few minutes. This will help them get used to being around people and other animals.
Remember, the socialization process can take time and patience. Your American Wirehair cat may not warm up to new people or situations right away, but with consistent effort, they will become more social and outgoing over time. The key is to start slow and take baby steps, always ensuring your cat feels safe and secure.
Use positive reinforcement
Training your American Wirehair cat with positive reinforcement is a proven method that encourages good behavior through reward rather than punishment. This approach entails rewarding your cat with treats, verbal praise, or play whenever they exhibit desirable behavior. Here are some tips to help you effectively use positive reinforcement to socialize your American Wirehair cat:
- Give treats: When your cat behaves well during socialization, such as approaching a new person or animal without fear, give them a treat. This reinforces the positive behavior they have exhibited and helps create a positive association with socializing.
- Use verbal praise: In addition to treats, verbal praise like “good job” or “well done” can also help reinforce positive behavior. Your cat will recognize the tone of your voice and the praise you give them, and this can help make them more confident and more willing to socialize.
- Use playtime: If your American Wirehair cat is more play-driven, use playtime as a reward when they interact positively with new people or animals. This way, they will associate socializing with fun, and this will also strengthen the bond between you and your cat.
Using positive reinforcement helps you build a stronger bond with your American Wirehair cat, as well as make them more adaptable and confident around new people, animals, and environments. Additionally, this type of training helps set a positive tone for future training, as positive reinforcement creates an encouraging environment for learning.
One of the most important things to remember when socializing your American Wirehair cat is to be patient. Some cats may take longer to warm up to new situations and people than others, and may require more time and effort to socialize effectively. To help you stay patient and calm, consider these tips:
- Take it slow: Don’t expect your American Wirehair to be socialized in just a few days or weeks. Respect their individual pace and give them time to adjust to new situations gradually.
- Provide positive reinforcement: When your cat displays positive behavior, such as approaching a new person or animal without aggression, reward them with treats, praise, and attention. This positive reinforcement will teach them to associate new situations with positivity and reduce anxiety.
- Practice consistency: Consistency is key when socializing your American Wirehair. Stick to a regular routine, especially in the beginning stages of socialization. This will help build trust and routine, and make your cat feel more comfortable and secure.
- Seek professional help: If your cat is struggling with socialization or showing signs of extreme fear or aggression, don’t hesitate to seek professional help from a veterinarian or animal behaviorist.
Remember, every cat is unique and may require different approaches to socialization. With patience and consistency, however, you can help ensure that your American Wirehair cat develops the social skills they need to thrive in a variety of environments.
Common Socialization Challenges for American Wirehair Cats
Socializing an American Wirehair cat is a crucial aspect of raising a well-adjusted and happy feline companion. However, it is not always a smooth process, and some cats may present challenges when introduced to new people or environments. These challenges can be daunting for cat owners, but they can be overcome with the right approach and knowledge. In this section, we will dive into some of the common socialization challenges that American Wirehair cats may face and provide some insights on how to address them. Let’s explore some of these challenges and how to overcome them.
Fear and aggression
One of the most common challenges with socializing American Wirehair cats is dealing with fear and aggression. If not addressed properly, it can lead to a myriad of behavioral problems in the future. It is important to understand that fear and aggression are natural instincts for cats, but they can be managed with proper socialization techniques.
Fear: Fear-based aggression in cats is not uncommon and can be exhibited in various situations. Some cats may become fearful of unfamiliar people, loud noises, or even other pets. When exposed to these stimuli, some cats may become aggressive as a form of defense.
Aggression: Aggression in cats can be caused by various factors such as fear, pain, or frustration. It is important to identify the trigger for aggressive behavior in cats and address it accordingly. Otherwise, the cat may continue to exhibit aggressive behavior in the future.
How to Address Fear and Aggression: When dealing with fear and aggression in cats, it is important to take a slow and gradual approach. Do not force an American Wirehair cat to interact with something or someone that frightens them. Instead, use desensitization techniques, such as gradual exposure to the trigger stimulus. Positive reinforcement techniques, like treats and praise, can also be effective in curbing aggressive behavior.
Examples of Desensitization Techniques:
|Fear Trigger: Loud Noises
|Desensitization Technique: Start with low-level noises and gradually increase the volume over time. Reward the cat with treats and playtime for remaining calm.
|Fear Trigger: Other Pets
|Desensitization Technique: Begin with separating the pets and gradually introduce them for short periods while providing positive reinforcement. Eventually, the pets can be allowed to interact in the same space.
|Fear Trigger: New People
|Desensitization Technique: Start with one person and gradually introduce more people over time. Encourage the cat with treats and praise for remaining calm during the interactions.
Fear and aggression can be common challenges when socializing American Wirehair cats. However, with patience and the proper techniques, these challenges can be overcome, resulting in a well-adjusted and social cat.
Timidity and shyness
One of the common socialization challenges that American Wirehair cats may face is timidity and shyness. This can be due to a lack of exposure to different environments, experiences, and people during the early socialization period.
Symptoms of timidity and shyness may include:
- Avoiding people or hiding in a safe space
- Fearful reactions, such as hissing or scratching
- Trembling or cowering when approached
It’s important to address these symptoms as soon as they are noticed, as timidity and shyness can lead to excessive fear and even aggression if left unchecked.
Ways to help your American Wirehair cat overcome timidity and shyness:
- Positive reinforcement: Use treats and playtime to reward your cat for coming out of hiding and interacting with you.
- Gradual exposure: Introduce your cat to new experiences slowly and in small doses, allowing them to get comfortable at their own pace.
- Patient socialization: Remember that every cat is different and some may take longer than others to warm up to people and new experiences.
- Professional help: If your cat’s timidity and shyness persist, consider consulting with a veterinarian or animal behavior specialist for further assistance.
By addressing timidity and shyness through positive reinforcement and gradual exposure, you can help your American Wirehair cat become more confident and well-socialized, leading to a happier and healthier pet.
The Benefits of Proper Socialization
Proper socialization can have numerous benefits for American Wirehair Cats. When a cat has been properly socialized, they tend to be more confident and comfortable in various situations. For example, a properly socialized cat is more likely to enjoy the company of people and other animals, which can help them lead a happier, healthier life.
One of the biggest benefits of proper socialization is an improvement in temperament. A cat that has been properly socialized is typically more outgoing, friendly, and confident. They are less likely to be fearful or aggressive, which can make them much easier to live with. A cat with a good temperament is more likely to be adopted quickly if they are ever in a shelter or rescue situation.
Better Health Outcomes
Socialization can also contribute to better health outcomes for American Wirehair Cats. When a cat is comfortable and relaxed around people and other animals, they are less likely to experience stress-related health problems. For example, a cat that is constantly stressed may be more prone to illnesses, such as respiratory infections or digestive issues. By contrast, a well-socialized cat is less likely to experience these types of illnesses.
Another benefit of proper socialization is increased confidence. A cat that has been exposed to a variety of people, animals, and environments is more likely to feel comfortable and confident in different situations. This can make them much easier to train and can even help them overcome other behavioral issues they may be experiencing. Additionally, an increase in confidence can make the cat less prone to fear-based aggression or shyness.
Proper socialization can also enhance the bond between a cat and their owner. When a cat feels comfortable around their owners, they are more likely to seek out their company and be affectionate. This can lead to a more rewarding and fulfilling pet ownership experience. Additionally, an enhanced bond can make the cat more responsive to training and more willing to engage in play and interactive activities with their owner.
Proper socialization is critical for American Wirehair Cats. The benefits of socialization include improved temperament, better health outcomes, increased confidence, and enhanced bonding with their owner. With patience and positive reinforcement, pet owners can help their cats become well-adjusted and happy companions.
After learning about the importance of early socialization in shaping the temperament of American Wirehair cats, it’s clear that this process should not be taken lightly. The benefits of proper socialization are immense and can have a lasting impact on your cat’s overall well-being. Socializing your American Wirehair cat requires patience, dedication, and a commitment to providing a positive experience for your pet.
Through proper socialization, your American Wirehair cat can develop into a well-adjusted and confident companion. It’s important to start socialization at a young age, ideally between 3 to 9 weeks, to help your cat become comfortable with a range of people, animals, and environments. Socialization should continue throughout your cat’s life, especially if they experience any major changes such as a move to a new home or the addition of a new pet.
When socializing your American Wirehair cat, remember to take it slow and use positive reinforcement. If your cat shows any signs of fear or aggression, don’t force them to interact. Instead, try to make the experience more positive by offering treats or playtime. With patience and a gentle approach, your American Wirehair cat can learn how to handle new situations and environments with ease.
Despite the challenges that may arise during the socialization process, remember that it will ultimately benefit your American Wirehair cat in the long run. Through proper socialization, your cat can become a loving and well-behaved companion that is comfortable in a variety of situations. So, take the time to socialize your American Wirehair cat and enjoy the rewards of a happy and healthy pet.

Super Easy, Super Fresh Tabbouleh
If you love the fresh flavors of parsley and mint, this salad is for you. Tabbouleh combines herbs, bulger wheat, finely chopped vegetables and fresh lemon juice to create a healthy snack, side dish or meal.
Tabbouleh is a traditional Mediterraean salad that is served on lettuce leave or in endive boats, with pitas or just eaten with a spoon. It's a very fresh and vibrant flavor, and perfect for a quick summer dish.
Is it Gluten Free?
Traditionally tabbouleh is made with bulger wheat, which comes from cracked whole grain kernels of wheat. It is not gluten free, so if you're looking for a gluten free option for tabbouleh, try quinoa instead.
I love to keep this in the house as much as I can, and is great to grab for a quick snack or a way to jazz up a fish dish or just about anything.
Make It Ahead
If you're planning to serve this for a party or dinner, I suggest making it a few hours ahead of time, or even the night before. This is because you want to give the bulgur (or quinoa) time to soak up the flavors from the lemon juice, as well as marinate the tomatoes, cucumber and green onion. I also recommend waiting to season it with salt until right before serving, so you don't break down the consistency of the tomatoes and cucumber.
