There are several ways of describing the strength of an acid solution. If the label says 50% sulfuric acid(V/V), it can be read as "50% sulfuric acid, by volume." If the label says 50% sulfuric acid(W/W), it can be read as "50% sulfuric acid, by weight." Referring to the periodic table, sodium has an atomic weight of 23, and chlorine has an atomic weight of 35.4. Since we know that the formula for table salt is NaCl, we can add 23 and 35.4 to get 58.4. A 1 Molar solution of sodium chloride has 58.4 grams of NaCl dissolved in one liter of water. If the label says 50% sulfuric acid, and that's all it says, you really don't know if the ingredients were measured by weight or by volume. One liter of concentrated sulfuric acid, added to 10 liters of water, would be labeled "10% sulfuric acid(V/V)." You will notice that there is some heat generated when mixing sulfuric acid with water. This is normal and expected. If you were to add one liter of sulfuric acid to one liter of water, the temperature might get high enough to melt a plastic container. However, when making up 10% sulfuric acid, the rise in temperature would be less than 35 degrees F.

Not JUST muscle meat. A wild cat's diet is WHOLE prey, not just muscle meat. That means skin, cartilage, bones, blood, internal organs (called by-products by pet food manufacturers), etc. A muscle-meat heavy or exclusive diet will result in taurine, calcium, and phosphorus deficiencies, which will cause irreversible blindness, neurologic problems, soft easily breakable bones, then eventually seizures and death. If your cat is not eating enough cat food on its own, it could be because it is sick. While tempting it with other foods is OK in the very short term (24 hours, at most), a vet visit is warranted any time an animal loses its appetite.

There are vaccines that prevent quite a few of the transmittable diseases, but like I noted, FeLuk is not without risk, actually, they're finding rabies shots aren't without risk either, but what does one do? FeLuk takes blood/saliva transmission. Herpes virus can be transmitted via sneezing droplets. Fleas can also carry intestinal parasite eggs. However, the risks are greatly reduced if you keep your cat out of fights. The main reason I am considering several outdoor enclosures is to help reduce the feral population and rehab the ones I can to later adopt out or let them live out their lives in a safe place... and a sep. enclosure to give my indoor cats a way to get fresh air. The indoor cats won't be unsupervised and won't be out at night, which is when ferals generally travel. The outdoor ferals will be much healthier out of the main population of strays, and hopefully, reduce the population. Of course, they'll be tested for disease as I have them spayed and neutered and if diseased, euthanized. We've generally been pretty lucky not to have much incidence of FeLuk. Acrylic enclosure? I think you're probably safe to just do an enclosure where no cats get in/your cats don't get out. Doubtful strays would pass fluids to your cats w/out a fight ensuing. Once the ferals realize the food is not accessible, they'll move on.

Agreed with above comments. Once damaged the Snake plant doesn't show it soon, leaving many to believe it is okay. Then a month later, you see what yours looks like. Damage will never repair itself but will out grow it with new leaves and pups (new young plants). There are many factors that can cause a plant's demise. Mostly keep warm, out of drafts and all the bright light they can get. With warm weather (80's to 90's) they require all the water possible. I have seen some sitting in water all the time! Most people don't keep their house that warm and hope you can take them outside for summer vacation. A large well grown Snake Plant can take a lot of abuse being in darkness and little water and even temps in the 50's, but if something does go wrong then it will advance rapidly.
