In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Dog food manufacturers will provide coupons in the coupon section of your Sunday newspaper. Try picking up a newspaper each week and clip out any dog food coupons that are included. Make sure that you check the expiration date on any coupons that you collect. Some may only be good for a couple of weeks while others may be good for several months. Some manufacturers may also make coupons for their products available online. Try searching the brand name of a dog food that you normally feed your dog and the word "coupons." Keep in mind that some manufacturers may require you to provide an email or other personal information in exchange for a coupon. Another option for getting coupons and even some samples of your dog's favorite food is to write to the company. Visit the company's website to find out how to contact them and compose an email or letter to the company to request coupons and samples. Try writing something like: "My dog really loves (name of dog food, be specific about the type and flavor)! However, I am having some trouble affording the cost of his food right now. Would you be willing to send me some coupons and/or samples?" The best way to maximize your coupons is to use them in conjunction with a sale. This will ensure that you pay the least amount of money for your dog's food. Watch the ads for your local grocery and pet food stores to find out when your dog's food will be on sale. Sometimes you can even use a manufacturer's coupon with a store coupon to save even more money. Try to collect as many coupons for your dog's food as possible to maximize your savings. Watch for fine print. In some situations, you may not be able to use a coupon if the item is already on sale. Try to avoid these kinds of coupons because they will not save you as much. Pet food stores often have samples of pet food on hand to give to customers. These samples might only be enough for one portion, but you will still save a bit of money if you get a sample every time you go to the store. Try asking for samples at local pet food stores. For example, you can say something like, "I am really interested in this product, but I'd like to see if my dog will eat it first. Do you have any samples available?"
Summary: Clip coupons out of the newspaper. Search for coupons online. Contact dog food companies to ask for coupons and samples. Watch for sales to maximize coupons. Ask local pet stores for samples.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Much like humans, cats use body language as a form of communication to express everything from trust to fear. Their postures convey important messages. For example: An arched back, upright hair along the spine, and unsheathed claws means that your cat feels threatened. Leave it alone for time being! If your cat nudges you, it may want to play. If your cat curls its tail around you, it's probably expressing contentment. When a cat approaches you with it tail pointing up and then curling round slightly at the top it is wanting to see you and be petted and play with you, let a cat check you out first by putting your hand out and letting them sniff it before you stole them. If its tail is tucked below or between its legs, your cat is likely feeling anxious or insecure. Purring is a sign of love and contentment. Growling and hissing means stay away. Meowing is an attention-getting vocalization that expresses everything from hunger to a desire for affection. Cats do not meow at each other; they meow to communicate with people. Constant meowing may indicate illness and require a trip to the veterinarian. While polite in conversations between people, many cats find extended eye contact threatening. When cats blink in your presence it is a sign of trust. The next time your cat starts blinking at you, try mimicking the behaviour. By blinking slowly, you are communicating trust and openness, and fostering a loving relationship. Slowly bend down before lifting your cat into the air. If a cat can see you before you pick it up, it is less likely to be frightened.
Summary: Learn and respect your cat's body language. Listen to your cat's vocalizations. Avoid prolonged eye-contact with your cat. When picking up your cat, go down to its level first.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Depending on what age your cat is, its coat may be more or less thick. Cats shouldn't go bald or lose their hair, but by determining just how full their coat is you can narrow down their age. The coat of an older cat may be more thin than that of a younger one. Seasonal variations can occur. Summer coats are thinner than winter coats. If your cat is losing fur, visit with your veterinarian. There are some subtle differences in the texture of your cat's coat at different times in its life. By looking for these differences, you may be able to get a good sense of how old your cat is. Young cats will have smooth and full coats of hair. Older cats will likely have coarser hair. Some patches of gray hair may appear in older cats. As your cat ages, levels of activity will change. These changes to how active your cat is can lead to changes in its body shape. Judging the shape of your cat's body may give you a clue as to how old it is. Young cats tend towards being lean and muscular, due to their high levels of activity. Middle age cats may be more filled out and round. Older cats will likely have pronounced shoulder bones and loose skin.
Summary:
Check your cat's coat for how thick it is. Feel the texture of your cat's fur. Notice your cat's body type.
