Constipation. Constipation will make your catâs stomach feel more firm and cause abdominal discomfort. The most common causes of constipation in younger cats are hairballs, diets low in fiber or lacking enough moisture. Since cats come from a desert ancestry, they tend not to be big water drinkers. In fact, increased water consumption is usually the sign of a problem.
Adaptive Equipment. A variety of tools are available that enable individuals to drive safely longer. These adaptive features can be added to a vehicle to help compensate for an individual's physical changes or functional loss, or simply to make the vehicle fit the person more comfortably and safely.
The functional definition allows us to identify adaptive traits, while the historical definition allows us to identify adaptations. Adaptive traits are those that increase the fitness of an organism [in a given environment]. Adaptations are adaptive traits that got selected for and remained. To understand the difference: vestigial organs are adaptations, but they are no longer adaptive. In other words, they were adaptive at one point and got selected for, therefore they are adaptations.
