The dog (Canis lupus familiaris) is a domesticated subspecies of the wolf, a mammal of the Canidae family of the order Carnivora. The term encompasses both feral and pet varieties and is also sometimes used to describe wild canids of other subspecies or species. The domestic dog has been (and continues to be) one of the most widely-kept working and companion animals in human history, as well as being a food source in some cultures. There are estimated to be 400 million dogs in the world.

The dog has developed into hundreds of varied breeds. Height measured to the withers ranges from a few inches in the Chihuahua to a few feet in the Great Dane; color varies from white through grays (usually called blue) to black, and browns from light (tan) to dark ("red" or "chocolate") in a wide variation of patterns; and, coats can be very short to many centimeters long, from coarse hair to something akin to wool, straight or curly, or smooth.

Cats

The cat (Felis catus), also known as the domestic cat or house cat to distinguish it from other felines, is a small carnivorous species of crepuscular mammal that is often valued by humans for its companionship and its ability to hunt vermin. It has been associated with humans for at least 9,500 years.

A skilled predator, the cat is known to hunt over 1,000 species for food. It is intelligent and can be trained to obey simple commands. Individual cats have also been known to learn on their own to manipulate simple mechanisms, such as doorknobs. Cats use a variety of vocalizations and types of body language for communication, including meowing, purring, hissing, growling, squeaking, chirping, clicking, and grunting. Cats are popular pets and are also bred and shown as registered pedigree pets. This hobby is known as the "Cat Fancy".

Until recently the cat was commonly believed to have been domesticated in ancient Egypt, where it was a cult animal. However a 2007 study found that all house cats are probably descended from a group of as few as five self-domesticating desert wildcats Felis silvestris lybica circa 8000 BC, in the Near East.

Enfermadades Perros - Spanish

Ante la sospecha de que el animal se encuentre enfermo hay que acudir al veterinario, especialmente si parece revestir gravedad; en determinadas enfermedades, al igual que sucede con algunas enfermedades humanas, la rapidez con que se acude al veterinario puede ser crucial para la vida del perro.

El perro, al igual que el resto de seres vivos, es susceptible de enfermar; algunas de estas dolencias serán más propias de su especie, incluso con diversa incidencia en razas diferentes, mientras que otras son comunes con las nuestras (cáncer, diabetes, etc.). El perro puede ser una fuente de contagio de determinadas enfermedades para el hombre, aunque la mayoría de ellas no se transmiten entre ambos; por ello, y por la propia salud de nuestra mascota, es muy importante su correcta vacunación y una desparasitación interna y externa regular; con ello, y unos hábitos higiénicos adecuados, tendremos un perro más sano y más fuerte y fuente de numerosas alegrías.

English

A pet or companion animal is an animal kept for companionship and enjoyment, as opposed to livestock, laboratory animals, working animals or sport animals, which are kept for economic reasons. The most popular pets are noted for their loyal or playful characteristics, for their attractive appearance, or for their song. Pets also generally seem to provide their owners with non-trivial health benefits; keeping pets has been shown to help relieve stress. There is now a medically-approved class of "therapy animals," mostly dogs, who are brought to visit confined humans. Walking a dog can provide both the owner and the dog with exercise, fresh air, and social interaction.

Koko the gorilla is one of few examples of a non-human animal which has had an explicit pet. Using sign language, she requested a cat; her first pet was a kitten named All Ball, to which she was reported to be quite attached and mourned for several days after the cat escaped and was killed by a car.

Español

Una mascota es un animal, persona u objeto animado que es escogido como representante visual, identificador o símbolo para representar a un grupo de personas, una institución, una empresa, una marca o un evento.

Para hacer de mascota, se acostumbra a utilizar la imagen más o menos transformada de un animal que tiene una relación, a veces bastante remota, con el grupo o el acontecimiento que representa.

La palabra es de origen reciente y proviene del provenzal mascoto, que quiere decir sortilegio. Se popularizó cuando el compositor francés Edmond Audran compuso la opereta "La Mascotte", estrenada en París el 30 de diciembre de 1880, que estuvo más de un año en cartel ininterrumpidamente debido al gran éxito que obtuvo.
