Your veterinarian can also prescribe a feline laxative to remedy the cat's constipation. The laxative would take the place of Benefiber when treating feline constipation. According to Alternative Pet Health, feline laxatives generally cost between $15 and $30 for the entire treatment.
Lucky for me, you, and our fish in the pond, water does indeed have a very high specific heat capacity. The specific heat of water is the amount of heat needed to raise its temperature a certain amount. One of water's most significant properties is that it takes a lot of heat to it to make it get hot. Precisely, water has to absorb 4.184 Joules of heat for the temperature of one gram of water to increase 1 degree celsius (Â°C). For comparison sake, it only takes 0.385 Joules of heat to raise 1 gram of copper 1Â°C.
Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. Heat energy depends on the speed of the particles, the number of particles (the size or mass), and the type of particles in an object. Temperature does not depend on the size or type of object. For example, the temperature of a small cup of water might be the same as the temperature of a large tub of water, but the tub of water has more heat because it has more water and thus more total thermal energy.
