Welcome back to Info On Cats! Today's topic is "Catmint or Catnip". I gave my cat a toy that had catmint inside as filling and he goes crazy over it! If you have a cat(adult) then it will be able to control itself when it eats or chews on catnip. If you have a kitten, you may worry a little. Don't worry. The catmint is harmless to the cat. Give your cat some and he will put on a show for you. The symptoms of catmint from personal experience (when your cat eats it) are:
dizziness
loss of balance
sleepiness
disorientation
and hyper behavior
If your cat eats or chews on this plant,(above picture) don't worry. It is normal for you cat to have those symptoms and to be eating plants. Over a period of time, your cat will get used to the catmint and will develop a small immunity to the symptoms above. Of course your cat will still act funny. So all in all, don't freak out if your cat eats catnip. =)
The Wii can imitate actions and vibrations the same way a real game of tennis can, but is the Wii really a good game system to have?
My mom wants to know whether or not the Wii can give you the exercise you need.First, what can a Wii do? A Wii enables you to do actions involved in a game. For example, when you play baseball, you use the controller as a bat and you try to hit the ball as if you were actually playing baseball. The Wii is not like the X-Box, the X-Box doesn’t make you stand up and move around. The controllers that the X-Box uses, makes you use as little energy as possible when playing games because it only makes you use your thumbs. The Wii, however, makes you move around and stand up. The Wii can count as a little bit of exercise because it makes you use more than your thumbs to play.
Ehow.com took a survey that showed the X-box and the PS 3(Play Station 3) only raised the player’s heart rate by 20%; whereas, the Wii raised the heart rate up to 75%-100%. That showed that using an X-Box or a PS 3 only increased the player’s heart rate a small amount, but the Wii reached up to a 100% increase. A person used a heart rate monitor and tested his heart rate before and after playing Wii Sports. Before he started to play his heart rate was 76 BPM. After 35 minutes of playing Wii sports his heart reached a rate of 158 BPM and he burned 491 calories. He reached the point where the Wii counted as exercise. The Wii can get your heart rate higher than an X-Box or a PS 3, which makes the Wii is a better source of exercise.
Sorry about the slow posts. Here is some morse code for you to look at. This code can be very useful. I myself am learning this code. Feel free to test me on morse code any time. =)
