Succeeding at offering your pet the best possible cat care helps you maintain a positive attitude

July 3rd, 2009

Succeeding at offering your pet the best possible cat care helps you maintain a positive attitude about your abilities, and can boost your confidence in other arenas. Mastering cat care can be a great first step towards overcoming challenges and difficulties in other areas of your life. Psychological experts agree that caring for a pet is a great way to improve your self esteem. When you see how much your cat care regimen matters to your pet, you will be able to appreciate how much of an impact your actions can have. This helps you feel confident and upbeat about your chances of success at work or school, and in the social sphere.

The mask should be complete unless you are showing Siamese Kittens. All points should be clearly defined, a clear contrast between the points and the color of the body. All points should be the same basic color as well.

- Have in mind that a spayed or neutered cat is less likely to wander off. Although this process may not be something you want to perform, it might be one of the things that can keep your cat safe.

Cats thrive on human attention and caring

July 1st, 2009

Cats thrive on human attention and caring. They tend to mirror that behavior. Those cats who are treated well generally tend to give more positive attention and comfort to their owners. Thus, even though it would still be rewarding without a personal payoff, cat pampering does offer some real advantage to the cat owner, as well as the pet.

Better Than a Wrist Pad

Some people have a wrist pad to rest their wrists when they type. One of these is not needed around here. Just pet the cat between keystrokes and all is well (and be sure to type very carefully). You may even trigger a soft buzzing noise.

We Know a Good Thing When We See It

Humans always act so surprised when they get up and one of us cats takes the chair.

I don’t understand the surprise over this. I mean, who would not want to take advantage of a prewarmed chair?

Muttering Me

Terry sometimes calls me a teddy bear because she says I am cuddly.

If so, then I am one who goes Meow! Meow! because I talk and mutter the entire time I am being held. Sometimes the family calls me “Muttering Muddy.”

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving.

Myst and I can sense the excitement around the house and we are burning off energy chasing each other up and down the hall as we always did when he was a kitten too. Turkey smells so good.

Cats like us with good homes, have much to be thankful for. May all cats find a loving home.

Myst as a Kitten

I’ve been showing older pictures of Myst when he was a kitten. Today, he is still a small Persian, the smallest Persian I know, but he has lots of energy to run, pounce and play. Just yesterday, I was innocently walking down the hall when out of nowhere — Myst pounced! The next thing I know, the fur flies as we run rapidly from room to room.
Muddy

Oil for Myst

Myst has been scratching himself too much in this dry weather, so the family is giving him a little bit of oil every day. He is picky and only likes liquid margarine, for some reason, so they put a dot on the table for him when they eat.

Bleh, I am not interested in human food at all, well except to paw it and see if it rolls well.
Muddy

Things to Watch

I don’t know what Myst finds so fascinating about TV and monitors. He chases the cursor around, even.

I prefer mirrors. I see that beautiful handsome cat on the other side and he sees me, too. We both have been trying to figure out ways to get to each other. We’ve had no luck so far, but it doesn’t stop us from trying — and this is all MUCH more interesting than TV!
Muddy

Being Up High

I am not a big fan of being held and I moan and complain when someone has me in their arms. Myst and Dandelion like it just fine though. Myst can not jump and he is thrilled when anyone puts him in high places so he can look around and feel important.
Muddy

Humans Live Longer Thanks to Us

It has been scientifically proven that, when humans are owned by cats, they live longer. Petting us reduces high blood pressure, but often we will hang out with them when they work on computers and stuff, so they do not get carpal tunnel so easily.

Terry says she does not get as much work done, either, but at least she says she may never get carpal tunnel thanks to frequent stops to pet us.
Muddy

Adorable Pair

What is it like to just sit there and be cute and tiny? Even though Terry says I am the most handsomest cat in the world, all Myst and Jenny have to do is just stand there and they look adorable.

I Rescued a Human Today

Author Unknown

I rescued a human today.

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels.
I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.
I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid.

As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage.
I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today.
Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past.
I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life.
She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me.
I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her.

Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship.

A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.

Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms.
I would promise to keep her safe.
I would promise to always be by her side.
I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.
I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor.
So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors.
So many more to be saved.
At least I could save one.

I rescued a human today.

Cat Collars & Leads

Most people will happily walk their dog, fewer people walk their cats. You may not be aware that cats can learn to walk on a lead. There are harnesses, and leads designed just for cats. Some cat owners have taken to walking their cats to avoid disputes with neighbours or where road traffic is heavy.

Ok, that may not help much because most people do know when they have a pedigree Maine Coon because they have papers verifying the pedigree.
