Measuring my cats’ body mass index – the FBMI
A couple of weeks ago, I came across an article by Dr J (though twitter) on the Feline Body Mass Index. It’s the same concept as the human BMI measurement where you look at a person’s weight and height and work out the percentage of body mass made up of fat.
Being the math geek in me, the article had a formula for calculating a cat’s body mass index so I thought I’d give it a whirl for my two 1 year old indoor cats, Rocket and Rosie (who will forever be known as The Kittens in our household).
Here’s your cat’s FBMI calculation:
While your cat is in a standing position, with the legs perpendicular to the ground and the head upright (good luck with that!):
- Measure the circumference of your cat’s rib cage. (The leve
The most important Do’s and Dont’s with a Car Insurance

But if you spare little time to understand about insurance, it’s not as difficult as it seems.
Here are some dos and don’ts that one should remember while buying car insurance.

Seven Corners – 5 Ways to Prevent the Worst Trip of Your Life
Travel insurance carriers frequently provide travel tips and advice on their websites. Seven Corners recently wrote a story with suggestions of how to avoid having a bad vacation. The following is an excerpt from the story.
- Inform a friend in town of your trip and ask them to check up on the house every so often. Leaving an empty house can become worrisome, especially if your oldest daughter decided it was a good idea to tweet about how worried you are about forgetting to double check whether or not the window on the side of the house was locked before you left for your two week long family vacation.
- Make sure your family is updated on vaccinations required to traveling. Measles, Dysentery, typhoid fever, and Cholera can happen to you in real life — not just to your character and his companions who are deciding whether they should caulk the wagon and float it or to just hire a guide to assist in crossing the river safely.
- Arrive at the airport early. Many factors including parking, security, and long lines contribute to airport congestion. Plus, you’ll have a bigger window of time to rush back to the house once you’ve realized you left Macaulay Culkin home alone.
- Learn a few simple phrases from the native language in the foreign country. You don’t realize how frustrating it is trying to ask someone of a different language where the restroom is– especially when time is a limiting factor…
- Take caution of what you are eating or drinking in another country. Bottled water and fully cooked foods along with frequently used hand sanitizer can prevent the exact situation where following tip #4 becomes a life and death scenario.
Today’s News: More Medicaid Patients Using ER, NFIP in the Red and Teen Drivers Vulnerable to Deadly Crashes
A new report has found that more Medicaid patients are using the ER, the National Flood Insurance Program has run into problems that have put it in the red and the NHTSA has revealed that teen drivers are more vulnerable to deadly crashes.
More Medicaid Patients Using ER
Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, say that an increasing number Americans, especially adults on Medicaid, are using the emergency room as their “safety net” for health care; the reason being that they must treat all patients regardless of health insurance coverage or ability to pay.
According to their report, five times the number of adults with Medicaid visited the emergency department than those with private insurance in 2007, as compared to only three and a half times the number in 1999. Res
Loyalty and Car Insurance Do Not Match Terms
Loyalty is something that we all are taught from our childhood. However, when it comes to car insurance, loyalty stands no chance. A latest research states that car insurance is one among the areas where loyalty does not often bring the best results. With the current economic status of the country, it is likely that people have been trying to compare car insurance in order to find better insurance deals for their cars. As the insurance sector dangles with alternating circumstances, the existing insurance quotes do not offer the best solutions.
