Cats That Are Happy

Cats Purr A Lot When They Are Happy

When my cats sit on my lap and purr away or lie next to me while I sleep, and they keep purring, I know that they are content and pleased. Cats purr when they receive new cat toys that they like or if they just received a lovely new heated cat bed. One of my cats with asthma loves to sleep in a heated bed; I think it helps his asthma to have lots of heat on his body. The minute I opened the door next door, 6 of my cats met me at the door, started purring away, and waited to be the first one to get my attention. My cats love to follow me, which usually pays off as they receive a pet treat.

 

The Great Outdoors

In the summer and early fall, my cats purr in their outdoor cat playpen, which is up high and next to my house. When some of my cats want to go outdoors, I follow them everywhere they go so no harm will come to them. You never know what animal could attack them if you left them unattended. Cats love to look at birds and watch the squirrels. I have a squirrel that comes next to my house every day at the same time, and he looks at the cats and watches TV for a while before he scampers away.

One On One Time With Your Cat

Cats vie to be the center of attention, and when you have a toy on a string filled with catnip and play with them, they are pleased indeed. Cats love to have you throw a toy mouse or singing bird in their direction. They will toss the toy around in the air and sometimes bring it back to you so you can toss it to them again. Cats get jealous quickly if you do not share the attention equally. My cats take turns sitting on my lap, which works well for us all.

Grooming Your Cat

My cats love to be combed out. Conrad will purr away loudly when I goom him with a special cat brush. Cali will arch up her back as if to say do not miss this part of my back. Mr. Gray, Faith, Hilford, Winchester, Addi, and Lizzie loved to be combed out with a cat brush. Addi would like it if I combed her out all day along with Faith. Grooming relaxes your cat and makes their coat nice, bright, and shiny at the same time.

Cats That Are Well Cared For Our Very Happy Cats

Anyone well cared for is happy and content, and so is your feline friend. Vet care keeps your cat in tip-top condition. If any disease or illness is treated quickly enough, it could save your cat’s life. Make sure your cat has fresh water and wet food every day. Cats are happy when their litter box and bedding are clean. I hope you and your cats are happy and healthy for at least nine lives.

Cats And Springtime

Cats Are Anxious To Get Outdoors In The Spring

Some housecats next door sit by the door, watching for their chance to escape and go outdoors. Winchester is a good escape artist, so I have to keep my open, so he does not escape unnoticed. Faith also tries not to miss any opportunities for a great escape. Some coyotes and foxes are in my area, so all of my cats are indoor cats. Most of my cats are declawed, so going outdoors presents too much of a risk to their safety.

Tom Cats

Tom cats establish their territories in the spring. Some of my outdoor Toms would get into quite the battles years ago. I had three Toms that were related to each other, and they would give an intruder Tom a grand welcome that he would never forget. After they laid out the rules, he never showed up again.

Female Cats

They will call the Toms all night long when they are in season, which immediately gets very annoying. They have a high-pitched meow or wail that cuts right into your nerves. All of my female carts are spayed.

Cats And Kittens

Young Mother cats may lose a litter or two before they learn to care for their kittens properly. Most of my Mother cats have been excellent Mothers and very attentive to their kitten’s needs. One Mother cat laid on her kitten night and day as her kitten was born in December. He grew up to be a solid and sturdy male cat. Mother cats will catch and release a live mouse before their kittens until they learn how to kill it.

Clean Up Your Cats Supplies

Now is an excellent time to give your cat’s dishes, bowls, towels, bedding, cat toys, and litter boxes a royal scrubbing. I used dish and anti-bacterial soap and scrub brushes with rubber gloves to finish the job.

Cat Play Pen

When I let my cats out, I place them in the Cat Play Pen outdoors so I can see them while I am reading in my hammock. My cat enjoys the spring air and watching the birds eating at the bird feeder. Cats are relatively safe in a cat playpen if you are still watching them. A determined wild animal could rip the playpen apart. Constantly babysit your cats and never leave them unattended.

I Have A Travel Cat Backpack And Leash

I purchased the backpack this winter as a Christmas present for my cats, that love to get outdoors now and then. I will be using it this spring. I intend to put a cat in the backpack with its harness and collar. My cat backpack has a bubble window for the cat to look out of, with a lot of ventilation in the bag. I will secure the pack on my trike, and my cats can see what I see on lovely spring days. You can attach the leash to the backpack. If your cat finds out how to open the pack, your cat will still be safe and secure. I hope you and your cat have a healthy, happy, and enjoyable spring.

Cats That Find A Different Home And Then Return Home

Tom cats will take off in the spring and fall for a mate or more. I have had Tom’s cats take off for at least six months or more, and then they return home for their winter lodging. Once in a while, my neighbors called me, telling me my cat lived there. I had one female cat take off for eight years, and then she returned home to die at my place about six months after returning home. I was glad she had returned home, as I always wondered what had become of her. I loved seeing her again.

The Catch Of The Day

Some of my outdoor cats would return home at the end of the day with their catch of the day. The day’s yield was a giant gopher, garter snakes, mice, rabbits, and voles. One of my outdoor cats would sit on top of a fence post most of the day until a mouse passed, and she had an instant lunch. Onyx would hunt the ditches all day and had several mice to eat during the day. A few of my cats would rest next to my picture window, and when an unfortunate bird hit the window, they were there to eat it. One cat would sleep in the rhubarb plants next to the bird feeder, and she would have lunch.

High Anxiety

Cats love to climb and sometimes forget how high up they are. One cat that our tenant had climbed and climbed to the top of an ash tree, and he would not come down. My father cut the tree down, and the cat jumped out to safety, and he never tried that again. I had one cat stay on top of the barn roof for at least two days, and then she climbed down. Both cats that had risen so high were a Himalayan, Siamese, Persian, and domestic shorthair mix.

My Female Cat That Loved Our Small Dog

She would sleep in the doghouse next to our small dog. She had kittens later on that slept in the doghouse, also. Our small dog would babysit the kittens when their mother took off hunting. Later, she and the dog and my pet goat would go hunting together. My goat loved cats, also. It was a different hunting party, but they all worked well together. The cat and the dog hunted for mice while the goat hunted for ears of corn.

Outdoor Cat Dangers

Wild animals can attack and kill your cats. Your outdoor cats can get run over on the road and beaten up by other cats. If your cat is in a horrible fight, he may miss the tip of his ear or an eye. Your cat may return to your home covered in fleas. Outdoor cats can drink anti-freeze or motor oil and other chemicals that could kill them. I had one outdoor cat come home with only three legs once, as I think he must have stepped on an animal trap. Cats are curious and adventurous creatures who can get into trouble quickly as they do not understand or comprehend the hidden dangers outdoors. God bless your cats and keep them safe from cat antics that may kill or harm them.

Do Cats really Like The Gadgets We Buy For Them?

Do Cats Really Like The Gadgets We Buy For Them?

Cat Toys

My cats love to play with circle toys with a ball to spin around. My cats prefer cat toys that you can add catnip to. The cat toys that you cannot add catnip to get played with less as the catnip smell begins to fade away. My cats love to play with singing birds or squeaking mice toys. My cats love to toss small mice toys in the air and catch them. My cats will play with crinkle toys for a while and soon become tired of them. Cats love to play with aluminum foil balls and your old sponges. Some cats like to play with the plastic lids of food containers. Ensure the covers are large enough that the kitty will not choke to death on them. Lazar lights appeal to cats until they figure out you control the lazar. Cats like to leap at catnip-filled fish on the end of a wooden stick.

Cat Beds

My cats love their cat beds. They love heated cat beds from K and H products. My older cats love orthopedic beds as they help them with their joints, and they have an extra restful and relaxing night. My cats adore hammock cat beds as they curl up for a cozy evening or an afternoon nap. My cats love to sleep in small dog beds that are extra plush. Meofia handmade wool beds are great cat beds for long winter nights. I have ordered wicker beds with a small circle pad in the middle. The residence in the cat bed falls apart quickly, but cats like to sleep on an extra fluffy towel placed in the bed. Make sure it is machine washable when you buy a small dog bed. I wouldn’t say I like cat beds that you have to spot clean, especially if my cat throws up in the bed. I want my cat beds to be sanitary and hygienic.

 

Cat Feeders

I especially like the cat feeders that record your voice. When you are away from home, your cat can hear your voice from the cat feeder, prompting your cat to eat when they hear your familiar voice. I have also had luck with the circular cat feeders that have no voice recorders; however, I do not think my cats eat as much as usual with those. I had never had one breakdown when I purchased new from Amazon, Chewy: Com, or E bay. My cats love heated stainless steel water bowls in winter as they always have water to drink.

Automatic Litter Boxes

I like my two litter robot litter boxes the best. I have had them for three years, and they have been trouble-free. I have one pet-safe litter box that I have had for four years with no problems whatsoever. I am using one litter maid litter box and have used it for one year in my home. I had a litter maid litter box in my other house, which broke down in a year and a half. The rail system stopped moving altogether.  I hope this blog post helps you purchase gadgets and cat toys that your cats will adore for years.

A Contented Cat

Cats purr away while sleeping in a nice heated bed on a cold winter night. Cats are pleased when they are feed tuna canned in water. I  always give my cats tuna canned water on holidays or birthdays. Kohl loves it when I comb out his loose hair, as he will purr away the whole time I comb it. Garfunkel purrs away anytime he is on my lap or next to me in bed. Conrad loves his hammock bed, his favorite spot for watching TV programs. His favorite TV programs are Gunsmoke and any National Geographic programs that feature animals. My house cats love to watch wild cats in the jungle or birds. Garfunkel loves auto racing and watching Meerkats. Kohl watches TV from one of his circular beds on the floor. My cat’s next door love it when I feed them canned food in the morning. Hilford will let me pat him while he is eating and purring away. Nicole is shy and does not like you being held or touched. She loves sleeping in a wide cat bed as she wants plenty of room to get nice and comfy. Next door cat loves catnip mice, singing birds, and circle game toys. My cats purr while I clean out their litter boxes. Some of them compete on who will use the nice clean box first.

Cats Love To Be The Center Of Your Attention

When I talk on the phone, my cats are vile to get my attention in any way they can. Cats get jealous quickly and do not want you talking to someone on the phone. Cats wish for your attention 24/7. Cats will rub against you to be friendly or when they want something to eat. Sometimes your cat will plop down in front of you, which is not wise of them, but needless to say, they did get your attention. Kittens learn quickly how to get your attention and get what they want to be in paradise. Kohl used to balance on the curtain rods as a young kitten and never once lost his balance. I was always concerned that he would fall off and get hurt. Cats love to hide and seem to love that you are calling them and watching them run around while they are right there the whole time. They want to ensure we are concerned about them when we cannot find them.

Cats Love Purradise

My cats love to be outdoors in the summer months in their outdoor cat playpen. Cats love to be patted on the head and fussed over. I ensure my cats live in paradise by taking them to the Vet for shots and health care. I guarantee they have plenty of food, fresh water, and heated beds in winter. My cats get new toys, bedding, and more to make their lives. My cats are greatly loved and cared for; they are the center of my attention and family.

Taking Care Of Your Cat When He Is Outdoors

Taking Care Of Your Cat When He Is Outdoors

If you let your cat outdoors and he is declawed, he is helpless as far as defending himself against any animal that might wish to attack and kill him. Watch for stray animals that might suddenly appear and try to harm your cat.

Safety measures you can use to protect your feline friend.

Walk your cat on a leach especially designed for cats as most cats do not like to be on a leash. Place your cat in a cat playpen on a deck out of the direct intense sun. Check on your cat often and ensure he is not too warm and has plenty of water to drink. Put flea protection on your cat that is vet approved. Please make sure all of his shots are up to date.

Our ever-changing weather.

In the winter months, frostbite can happen in a hurry. Sometimes the tips of a cat’s ear have been frozen, and the ends fall off. Never leave any pet in a car in the summer or winter months unless you are in the car. The temperature in the vehicle can change very quickly, resulting in the death of your cat.

Watch what your cat is eating.

Your cat could eat a plant that is deadly for cats outdoors. Your cat could vomit or have convulsions from eating a fatal plant. Call your vet ASAP if your cat is acting sick after being outdoors. Do not let your cat get near automotive oil, gas, deck cleaner, pest killers, paint, and more. Once a poison is injected, it might be too late to save your cat’s life.

 

Your cat depends on you for his protection.

Be aware of your cat’s surroundings, as things can change quickly. Keep up to date with your cat’s health. Keep toxic chemicals locked away. Be a good steward in caring for your cat.

Where I Buy My Cats Accessories

Where I Buy My Cats Accessories

I order my cat accessories online or buy them at local stores. I do a lot of comparison shopping as I want the best quality items for a reasonable price. Compare the online prices to your local store prices. If you can shop locally, remember those dollars go back into your community. Online shopping is lovely when they offer free shipping. It is nice to have cat food and cat litter delivered right to your door in the cold winter months.

I buy my cat’s toys from e bay, amazon, grocery stores, and chewy.com. My cat litter is from Menards, Mills Fleet Farm, and Chewy.Com. My cat food comes mainly from chewy.com and Menards. I prefer K and H heated cat beds as they tend to last a long time. My heated cat beds come from e bay and amazon.com. My cats love their Meowfia cat beds from Chewy.Com. I purchased my cat’s playpen from Amazon.Com.

I just purchased an excellent plastic folding step made by Frisco and sold by Chewy.com for my cat Kohl. Kohl has trouble jumping into my bed as he ages, and his new actions make life much easier. Kohl also likes orthopedic cat beds that I have purchased from Aldi’s grocery store.

I have purchased flea treatment products from my veterinarian. You can buy distemper shots for your cats at Mills Fleet farm. I take my cats to my veterinarian for all of their images. Do research on flea treatment products before you buy them to ensure they are effective and safe for your cat, depending on size, age, and overall general health.

I purchased my metal heated water bowls from Menards as they last a long time compared to plastic heated water bowls. My grooming tools were purchased at my local stores. I have purchased many litter boxes over the years. I like a litter box that sifts the litter clean, as you do not waste as much cat litter.

I love the Litter Robot. It is more costly than other brands, but my cats and I love it. It smells nice and fresh, and the dirty litter is dumped in a plastic bag in the tray below the unit. The Litter Robot even has a night light in it for your cat. The Litter Robot is automatic. All you have to do is put fresh clumping litter in, remove the dirty trash, and put a new bag in, and you are all set.

Your cat will be happy with his new accessories, and his nine lives will be blessed by you caring for and loving him every day unconditionally. God Bless you and your feline friends.

Some Of My Cats Favorite Items

My cats love to climb on cat trees and enjoy eating cat snacks, playing with catnip mice, and sleeping in fancy cat beds. They love individual attention, such as scratching them under the chin and patting them on the head.

My cat’s next door love their heated cat beds and water dish in winter. They love all kinds of cat snacks and canned tuna, chicken, lamb, duck, and turkey cat foods. All of my cats love food with pumpkins and diced vegetables.

My cats love to go in their outdoor playpen when the weather is nice. They can watch the birds eating out of the bird feeders and enjoy the great outdoors without being harmed or getting lost. They can take a sunbath or a catnap in the afternoon.

My indoor cats like their self-cleaning box with blue crystal cat litter. The litter box cleans itself every time a deposit is made. Tidy Cats is another brand of trash that my cats dig every time they use their litter box.

My cats love playing with toy mice, balls, birds, reptiles, and other catnip-filled toys. They love to play with tiny beanie babies, also. They love to play with snack balls and other treat dispensers.

For my cat’s Christmas list, I generally buy new cat toys, canned cat food, seasonal cat treats, and a new cat bed, and replace old food bowls with lovely new bowls. Buy your feline friends some of their favorite items for their birthday, Christmas, or a special little surprise. May you and your cat create new favorite things that you both can enjoy?

Benefits of Having a Cat Life in the Day of a Cat

Life in the Day of a Cat

My cats start their mornings by giving me fresh water and cat food. I then clean out their litter boxes. They always drink the fresh water that I have put out for them. My cats eat some of their cat food. The cats then run upstairs and look out of my picture window at the birds eating from my various bird feeders. Conrad and Kohl look through their cat toy box and select the toy of interest for the day to play with. They consistently choose at least one toy that is filled with catnip. They will throw the catnip toy up in the air and then lick it later. They take turns sitting on my lap later on in the day.

20150616_130227

My cat family next door starts their day with fresh water and food and clean cat litter boxes. Lorenzo constantly licks my hand every morning after I clean out the litter box. The kittens play with their Mother’s tail and the various cat toys in the house. The adult cats love to sit on the windowsill cat beds and watch the world go by. All of my cats like the cat scratching post combination cat beds. They love to chase each other playfully throughout the house. When I check on them throughout the day, they are generally lying on one of the cat beds and looking outdoors at nature. I give them cat treats and canned cat food as an afternoon snack. I hold them, pat them on their heads, and scratch them under their chins. My cat Russ enjoys being in his enclosed Cat Playpen.

My outdoor cats start their mornings with an early morning hunt. They like to hunt in the ditches and the cornfield for mice. My outdoor cats are all good mousers. I give them fresh water and cat food in the morning. I will find them lying in the shade and relaxing on a hot day. When I have had outdoor kittens, they love to play with leaves that blow around in the wind. In the winter months, they sleep in their heated cat beds. They always have water to drink in the winter with their heated water bowl for pets. They have some tennis balls to bat around in their building.

I hope you and your cat have a wonderful and lovely day.
