alert those involved in critical milestones. In some cases, important
actions are organizational (forming corporation, providing funding,

capital, and capita required to sustain growth beyond the first year

Koalas are
even more
lazy than
cats.
Koalas don’t have much energy and, when not feasting on leaves, they spend their time
dozing in the branches. Believe it or not, they can sleep for up to 18 hours a day!
Did you know?
Did you know that dogs can smell your
feelings?
Dogs can pick up on subtle changes in
your scent, which can help him figure
out how you are feeling, such as by
smelling your perspiration when you
become nervous or fearful.
Did you know that a cat uses its
whiskers as feelers to determine if a
space is too small to squeeze through?
Also, cats love to sleep. A fifteen-yearold cat has probably spent ten years
of its life sleeping.
