Kohl and his Cyst Removal

I took Kohl to one of my vets because he had a large cyst above his left eye. My vet said he could not remove the cyst, which would keep getting more significant. The cyst would get so large that Kohl could not open his left eye eventually. My vet gave him an antibiotic shot. The shot did not help the cyst get smaller.

A friend said to take Kohl to a different vet for a second opinion. I am sure glad I listed to her sage advice. I took Kohl to another one of my vets. My vet said he could remove the cyst. I was able to pick Kohl up from my vet yet that afternoon. I had him sleep next to me in a cage all night long so I could keep an eye on him and make sure he got along fine in the night after his surgery.

The cyst remained swollen for several days. Kohl removed the glue that acted as the stitches. Kohl ate the bond with no side effects. The cyst drained more after Kohl pulled the glue and licked away at the area where the cyst used to be. The swelling in the cyst is about gone entirely now.

Kohl is in good spirits and is very active again and playing with his cat toys. Kohl has a good appetite, and all is well in his World again. Kohl is eight and one half years old. He is sitting in my picture window watching the birds eat out of my bird feeders.

Always remember to get a second opinion on your pet’s health, just as we humans need a second opinion. If you do not get a second opinion quickly and efficiently, it might be life or death.

I feed my cat’s next door the Tuna with Tilapia and Pumpkin. All of my young cats ate it up quickly except for Peter. Peter was too shy to come out from behind the board, where he liked to hide. I gave Bella some, and it was gone in no time flat. Cali also thought it was the cat’s meow. The pieces of meat were small, and the cat food smelled pleasant. My cat’s next door highly approve of this variety of Tiki cat food from Chewy.Com.

My cat next door ate the Tuna with Calamari and Pumpkin. Hilford, Lorenzo, Mr.Gray, and Sherlock quickly ate up the Tiki Cat. Addi came over and licked the bowl clean. Bella licked the contents out of the foil packet the cat food came in. Nicole only got a few bits of the Tiki cat food because she was slowly coming to the food dish. The pumpkin in the Tiki cat food is a gentle source of fiber that supports healthy digestion. Feed a seven-pound adult cat 2 to 3 pouches of food daily. Tiki cat is made for cats of all ages to enjoy.

I feed my cats in the other house Tuna with Shrimp and Pumpkin. Lorenzo, Russ, Mr. Gray, Hilford, Sherlock, Nicole, and Addi ate the Tiki cat clickety-split and licked all the Tiki cats out of the foil packet.

I gave some of the Tiki Cat with tuna, calamari, and pumpkin to Onyx, my outdoor Tom Cat. He ate up every single bite of it.

This morning, my cats tried the Tiki Cat Tuna with Ocean Whitefish and Pumpkin. Hilford, Sherlock, Addi, Mr. Gray, and Bella loved it. Russ came over to the bowl later on and licked the bowl completely clean.

My cats love Tiki cat from Chewy.Com.

Why My Cats Throw UP

Why My Cats Throw Up

If my cats eat too quickly, they will throw up. Garfunkel eats very fast, and therefore, he throws up now and then. If your cat eats a new food that does not agree with him, he will be sick. Garfunkel had a blood test at the beginning of 2023 since he had lost weight. He was diagnosed with IBD in 2023, an irritable bowel disease for which he takes a pill.

My outdoor cats love to eat grass when I let them outside for a while. By eating the gra, ss they will generally get rid of a hairball. If you do not groom your cats often enough, they will throw up a hairball occasionally. Cats need to be groomed more often in the spring and summer since they are losing their winter hair coats.

Do not feed your cat too much in one single day. If we overeat in one day, we do not feel too great either. Do not give your cat a can of cat food, cat treats, and regular dry cat food in one day, as it will be too much for his stomach to handle.

If your cat is nervous or upset about something, he may throw up. When I leave on vacation, my cats throw up for a few days because I am gone, and they feel uncomfortable having someone else take care of them.

Cats do not like any change in their daily life whatsoever. A new piece of furniture or a new house cat could cause their stomach to be upset. A house guest can make your cat feel nervous and uncomfortable. Moving into a new home will cause your cat to be timid and anxious. Your cat will not have any familiar scents in his new home or territory. We teenagers also when we move to a new location. We wonder if r we will find a new job and make new friends quickly.

If your cat throws up over several da, take him to your veterinarian AS, AP, as he may have a severe medical condition.

I was provided tickets to the African Safari Wildlife Park Located in Port Clinton, Ohio, to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100 % honest and my own.

We were given a large cup of food to feed the animals just before entering the park. Alpacas ran up to our car to greet us. We threw some food at them, and they devoured it. We could watch them through the car windows, or you can have your windows down on your car. The Alpaca would stick their heads in your car and look at you. As we drove through the park, a lot of small deer came up right next to our car, and we fed them. Later, the White Bison ran to the car and looked at us. A car in front of us had the Bison sticking their heads in their car, waiting for them to feed them. I liked looking at the two-humped camels and the Scottish Highlander cattle. Some people had purchased carrots from the man at the gate to provide for the Giraffes. The giraffes would stick their heads down over the fence and eat up the carrots they were given. I found our drive through the park exciting and educational. I was not aware of the fact that these animals would be as gentle as they were.

We did the walk thru part of the park also. The White-Handed Gibbons entertained us with their acrobatic movements. They would swing on the ropes and sway back and forth on the ropes. I loved looking at the Red Kangaroo in the park. I found the White American Alligator interesting to look at in the fact that it was all white. There were many more animals to look at. They have a pig race for the kids and camels that the kids can ride on. For more information on the park, go to AFRICANSAFARIWILDLIFEPARK.COM.

Kohl started rolling around the cat treat ball. Conrad came running and started dispensing the cat treats inside the cat treat ball. Garfunkel looked it over for a long time and let Conrad and Kohl eat all the cat treats.

The cat treat ball from Chewy.com has a drill inside, and the treats must be moved along the training to get dispensed. Conrad has a natural talent for getting cat goodies out of cat-treat containers quickly and efficiently. Kohl does know how to work the cat treat ball. Kohl figures let Conrad do all the work of dispensing the treats, and I will eat them up.

The cat treat ball keeps your cat’s mind and body alert while they get a delicious treat for their efforts. Conrad even had fun rolling around the empty cat treat container. Conrad hid the loose cat ball under the couch for his enjoyment. Conrad quickly dispensed the six dental treats I had put inside the cat treat ball. Your cat’s favorite treats will fit inside the cat treat ball easily.

My cats love to eat fish treats out of the cat treat ball. My cats love all kinds of dried salmon cat treats. Conrad loves his cat treat ball. Conrad does not want to let the nice blue-colored cat treat ball from Chewy.com out of his site for long. Garfunkel inspected the cat treat ball more when none of my other cats watched him. Garfunkel loves to bat the empty cat treat ball around on the floor.

My house cats like their blue-colored cat treats balls. The ball gives them many psychical and mental exercises—a good treat ball for cats of all ages to enjoy.

1 Comment on Tips on Taking The Perfect Picture of Your Cat

I like to take a picture of my cat in a well-lit room. I never try to pose my cat; I let my cat pose for me. My cats are very relaxed when they first wake up in the morning. I like to take pictures of my cats when they are resting or open.

I generally use my smartphone to take pictures of my cats. I have found that my smartphone performs better at taking pictures than my camera does. I can easily download my cat pictures to my website from my smartphone.

I love to take pictures of my cats at play. I also love taking photos of my cats relaxing or sitting on the furniture. I have taken pictures of my outdoor cats sitting atop an old wooden fence post or in a tree.

To get the perfect picture of your cat, it must be in a peaceful and calm area. A nervous or excited cat will not let you get a good view of it no matter what you try to do. I talk to my cat before I take his picture. My cat is then looking right at me and the camera lens for the perfect cat picture. I like to take at least three photos of my cat at once to save the best shot out of the three.

Cats like calm music or complete quiet. When I take my best cat pictures, my cats are relaxed and not distracted by anything. I like to take photos of my cats sitting on my lap. The cat on my lap is generally purring away and is happy as a lark to be sitting on my lap. Remember to take your time and patience while trying to take the perfect picture of your feline friend.

I was given tickets to the merry-go-round museum in Sandusky, Ohio. All thoughts are 100% honest and my own.

I enjoyed looking at all of the carousel items. I discovered that the rooster was a rare carousel item compared to the horse or the tiger.

I enjoyed riding on the old Merry-go-round at 9 miles per hour. Most Merry go rounds go around at 5 miles per hour. It was my 50th anniversary of depending on a Merry-go-round. I enjoyed my ride again after a fifty-year wait. Relive your childhood excitement at the Merry-Go-Round Museum as you ride the fully restored Allan Hershel carousel. They have a lot of old carousel tigers, horses, etc. The great carousel masters took lots of pride and joy in making them. The admission is only $6.00 for adults and $4.00 each for children 4 to 14 years of age and free for children four and under. You receive a token for a free ride on the Merry-Go-Round with your admission price. I loved all the craftsmanship that went into the horse I sat on on my merry-go-round ride. The carving of the wood and the paint was spot on.

I especially love carousel tigers, lions, and the more unusual variety of animals. I love the old carousel pump organ music that reminds me of my early childhood days. There are not many old carousels left in the world for us to enjoy anymore. I love that merrygoroundmuseum.org, in Sandusky, Ohio, takes great pride in preserving these great wooden masterpieces on the carousel rides.

I truly enjoyed spending part of my afternoon at the Merry-Go-Round Museum. I saw people there with their children having a fantastic time.

What Type of Carpet or Furniture Should I Buy When I Have a Cat ?

Post author By Laura Weers

No Comments on What Type of Carpet or Furniture Should I Buy When I Have a Cat ?

I always buy a carpet with a tight weave that is also stain resistant. I never buy a light-colored piece of carpet because it will show stains you cannot remove. Try to buy a neutral color of carpeting for your home. It will clean up easier and last for many years. Do not buy a piece of shag carpeting or one with a lost Berber weave. Shag and an open weave of Berber carpet will not be easy to clean, and your cat’s claws will destroy it quickly. For oriental rugs, I like one that has a tight weave with no fringe on it. My cats have removed the edge on one of my oriental rugs. I have one oriental rug that has some wool in the material, and it is straightforward to remove any stains that may get on it. The previous carpeting I purchased for my home was a pet-proof carpet.

For couches and chairs, I want a fabric that is stain resistant with a tight weave. Even though my cat’s front feet are de-clawed, they can still catch the material on your furniture with their back claws. Before I buy a couch, I ask the sells person in the store about the material on the sofa that I am considering buying. I tell the salesperson that I have cats and want a material that my cat’s claws cannot grab onto when they jump off my new couch. I always end up with a nice piece of fabric with a tight weave that is very easy to clean.

To take care of any cat claw marks on your wooden furniture, use Old English or furniture marking pencils to cover up your cat’s unnecessary artwork. I also rub lemon oil on my wooden furniture.

Good luck with all of your carpet and furniture purchases. I hope my ideas will help you and that your carpet and furniture will last many years.

Kelleys Island Ohio

Kelleys Island, Ohio

We were provided free boarding passes on the Jet Express to Kelleys Island. We were also offered a golf cart from Lil Casino to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100 % honest and my own.

The Jet Express is the fastest way to the islands. The seats on the Jet Express were soft and comfy. Their rates are reasonable, and you make it to your island in only twenty minutes. The Jet Express was very clean. jet-express.com.

We picked up our golf cart from Lil Casino. Our golf cart worked fine; it was a breeze on Kelleys Island to get around safely and quickly. kelleysislandcasino.com.

Kelleys Island, Ohio’s largest island, is an outdoor lover’s delight. The island has incredible views, hiking trails, a coastline, and quarries. Riding around Kelleys Island in a golf cart is very relaxing and enjoyable.

The island is home to 600 acres of state park land. We looked at the Glacial Grooves, the world’s most extensive exposed glacial grooves. The island has hiking and biking along the shoreline with magnificent coastal views.

There are a lot of places to eat an ice cream cone. You can dine at an outdoor patio and eat some of Lake Erie’s finest walleye or perch. I had a perch sandwich, and it was delicious. I love the architecture of the homes on Kelleys Island. The entire island is on the National Register of Historic Places. I was fascinated with the architecture of Kelleys Island’s older homes and buildings.

I loved shopping and looking in the various stores on Kelleys Island. We went to the Glacial Grooves, and I was taken aback by what nature can do over some time to rocks. I would highly recommend looking at the Glacial Grooves. I loved the peace and tranquility that I felt while I was on Kelleys Island. It is very rejuvenating to spend time on Kelleys Island.

I was provided Pure Bites Salmon Cat Treats from Chewy.Com to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100 % honest and my own.

I first gave the Salmon cat treats to my house cats. Garfunkel ate the treats vigorously. Kohl tried to get more than his fair share of Pure Bites Salmon cat Treats from Chewy.Com. I placed my foot between the snacks so my other cats could eat their share of the cat treats. Conrad ate the goodies placed in front of him first, then ate the treats behind him. Conrad ate up his cat treats strategically, so Kohl thought Conrad had eaten up all of his salmon cat treats.

I gave my cat Maggie some of the salmon cat treats. Maggie found that her cat treats were straightforward to chew up and swallow. Maggie loved her salmon cat treats as they were very palatable.

My cat next door got very excited the moment I opened up the bag of Pure Bites Salmon Cat Treats from Chewy.Com. Lorenzo came running full steam ahead for some of the salmon cat treats he devoured with vim and vigor. Russ, Hilford, Nicole, Mr. Gray, Cali, and Bella showed up Johnny on the spot for the salmon cat treats. Mr. Gray seemed very impressed as he ate his cat treats. My older house cat Bella found that the Pure Bites cat treats were straightforward and shallow for her to chew up. Nicole came out of hiding to eat up some of the Pure Bites Salmon Cat Treats from Chewy.Com. I put a few cat treats back of a piece of plywood where my timid cat Peter hangs out occasionally. Peter ate up every single Bite of his delicious salmon cat treat.

Pure Bites are made with only one ingredient, wild pacific salmon produced in the USA. Feed as a healthy treat for your cat.

My cats could not MEOW enough praise about Pure Bites Salmon Cat Treats from Chewy.Com.
